"When Gen. William Sooy Smith,"

his raid In 18(14, a very funny thing
happened at Grand Junction. Horses

hundreds of men wero held there to
put horses through the preliminary
training. One day 'Mi mules were un
loaded from a train that wait supposed
to contain only horses, and there was
much swearing and joking over tho
mistake.
"The men assigned to look after tho
hordes wero disinclined to taeklo tho
mules, and hundreds of darkles vol
unteered lo ride tho mules lo camp.
Finally 'JT.O delighted darkles wero
mounted on 'Mi mules nnd wero ar

any InHtructlons could be given, tho
engineer of the waiting train gave
i wo sharp toots on his locomotlvo

mules' heels went Into the air, nnd 250
darkies rose in lino like so many huge
blackbirds taking (light.
"The seeno was, Indescribably fun

To understand truly and to estimate

the percentage of lo.es in killed and

St. Clair A. Mulliollanil. In a graphic
account of the battle of Gettysburg,
written ror the Philadelphia Public

Mars La Tour, lost 10. 1 per. cent killed
and wounded. The Garile-Schutzen
at Metz. hut Iti.I per cent. The Light
Iliigade at Ualaklavu. lost !5.7 per
cent. This Is the stoiy of brave men
and splendid organizations and. If I
mistake not, tells of the greatest ld.su
on record In single engagements In
European wars. Not one of them lost
50 per cent in killed ami wounded In
single engagements. Without fear of
contradiction. I assert that In the
union army alone at least sixty-three
regiments lost more than r0 per cent
killed ami wounded In single engage
ments, and mote than 120 regiments
lost more than ::ti per cent under like
circumstances. On the soil of our
own state, at glorious Gettysburg,
there were at least twenty-three regi

In killed and wounded during the
(hire sanguinary days of the battle,
and nine of these were Pennsylvania
organizations. Fight other northern

exclaimed, Indicating with his cane
the stream of callers pouting Into the
Sicrctary'H door.
"They are not after pleasure," liar
ley Johnston leplled, smiling, "they
are following the band."
The two men had walked into the
street together nnd stood In front of
Johnston's home watching the scene.
Oh, milt v of vanities.
How way waul the ileereen of fate are;
How erv weal; the ety wise.

Stacy quoted following his friend
into the house.
They left their top coats In the hull
and went directly to the library. The
low book cases lining the walls were
tilled with handsome volumes, Kmifif
them rare and dllllciilt to obtain, and
the center table was covered with mag
azines and journals, sclent lllc and po
litical. A bronze head of Minerva held
the letters and loose pnpen on Hie
desk In place.
Stacy seated himself In an easy chair
and appropriated a footstool.
"Thoughts are battling with ench
other for a channel of utterance In this
loom," he said, glancing up nt the
busts of statesmen standing guard over
the books, "no wonder your editorials
are a surprise to your friends!"
Harvey was amused. "Hut my val
iant effusions are launched from the
olllce down town."
"Nonsense, " the nrru.v ofllcer per
sisted. "I do not care where they are
written thcynro Inspired In this room,
1 bellow In this chair."
Johnston was looking ror n box of
cigars.
"1 thought these could not be lost,"
he said, placing the lluvnuns before Ills
guest.
It was growing dnrk. and the Hi o
had become the sigultlcaut light In
the library. Clouds of smolu curled
lazily above their heads.
"I wish you would not leave Wash
ington to-night. I want you to go to
the Wnrrcns' with me, they made quite
ii point of your coming," Johnston
said.
At llrat Stacy way back In his chair
seemed too comfortable to reply, then
he leaned forward. "It Is out of tne
question, old man, I claim a social
furlough when away from home."
"Tell me, Dick," the editor wntched
the lings or blue vapor as he spoke,
"were you ever hard hit?"
"ir l understand you, no."
Hut the question aroused his Inter
est. "Harvey," he continued, "do you
remember a picture that hangs In :iy
room to the right as yon enter?"
Johnston nodded, a look or genuine
amusement showing In his eyes.
"It was copied from a rough draw
ing I made in war times." Stacy left
his seat, and stood with his back to
the lire. "To-day 1 thought I saw tli.it
face again; It was somewhat older and
very much sadder. 1 was going to
the Navy Department to neo McNniry
and passed her as I crossed tho Avenue
from Lafayette Square."
The servant came In to light the gas.
Many carriages roiled by outsldo, an
nouncing the fact that tho Sccrctar'c
home for tho present hud lost Its Im
portance as tho gathering pi.ico of
fashion.
Harvey watched his friend with In
creasing Interest. "I shall Induce yon
to remain over another day," ho clo
dded mentally, "upon tho chance of
meeting this love of long ngo, and
take you with mo to tho Warrens' to
night." When Stacy was presented to Miss
Clarke of Tennessco that evening, hn
was conscious of a sudden exhilara

The notes of low music filled the

He had not known before the young

"There must be some mistake. I

Prentiss, said next morning, when
Stacy's card was brought to her.
ilelow in the library Stacy was hav

doorway for a moment, then movol
slowly across the space dividing them.
The eyes ho well remembered wcru
looking again Into his own.
"My apology for coming, Miss Pren

with n memory."
"And I. too, have not forgotten, Col.
Stacy," and she extended her hand
cordially to him.
"1 have found her," he exclaimed an
hour later, bursting into llarvey'a
sanctum, "and she is all I thought or
hoped her to be!"
"I have been thinking of the old

said to Stacy.

her laugh was as spontaneous am

"I, too, have been rctrospecting," ho
replied, "nnd there Is ono scene that

drew a yellow paper from his pocket
ami spread It before her. "This has
been my talisman since I first saw
