T.lttlu tlino was there to toll to tho re
joicing lirlgado tho story of that episode.
Literally had llnnnlbnl, sou of Ilarkless,
obeyed his master's Instructions as to tho
younger brother among tho prisoners at
Home, An old southern Inn had been used
ns n hoipltal for such union olllcers as were
iiorely woundrdr too 111 to ho sent farther
south, llonry mndo occnslonul visits from
tho front nnd llnnnlbnl went unmolested to
ninl fro, (lipftt news reached them, Oram
wns hi Chattanooga. Sherman wns coming
with four strong divisions, marching up tho
Tennessee, nnd Hooker anil Howard had
Jollied with their corps from the Army of
tho Potomac, and everybody know thcro
would be music l.eforo tho end of tho month.
Then camo tidings that nil prisoners should
bo. started southward within tho week. I)r.
Holt wns nway at tho moment. A remark
nblo thing nnd occurred. A political
epenker of tho balloon typo hnvlng an
nounced from tha Ohio stump thnt ho wns
UBhntued to llvo In tho United States,
UBliumod to dwell under the wing of a gov
ernment thnt would attempt to coorco the
seceding states, had been actually tnken
ut Ids word by a bewhlskercd gcnernl, who
would stand no nonsense, and to tho nmazo
and dlscnmflturo of Stnto Senator Malloy,
his polltlcul illo lender was politely sent
ovor tho lino to tho south, With General
llurnsldes' compliments, .Mr. Vollnndlgliam
of Ohio was transferred to Dlxlo, wliero
they had no earthly uso for him. Ono iiuin,
however, had need to seo him Dr. Holt,
who had questions to ask concerning Mr.
Malloy and mennt to havo an answer. The
doctor was gone when tho rumor camo as
to tho prospective movu of tho prisoners.
It waa perhaps an only chnnco and Norman
took It. Henry's luggagn, in part, was
Btored nt Dnltou. Hannibal had little
trouble and no compunctions In abstracting
therefrom a worn suit of uniform. South
ern olllcers enme nnd went about tho halls
mid corridors at all hours, and ono evening
n tail, distinguished major of staff strolled
forth soon niter tho second relief had been
posted on the sipiuro, wus passed with tho
customary honors, and, mounting a horso
In tho adjoining block, was away to Alplno,
bound lor the Chattanooga valley. At 4 In
the morning coufederato pickets wcro pass-
lug him townrd tho front, "riding with dis
patches," as lie mild. At dawn ho tarried
near tho head nf McI.cmoro'H cove, wliero
ut nightfall another negro found him, us
prearranged, bringing h fresh horso and
provisions. l)y that time all Homo knew ot
tho escape, btit no ono could explain It.
Tho second night, guided by tho negro
through many u bypath, ho at Inst, toward
daybreak, and on toot now, slipped between
the sontrles along lower Chattanooga creek
und "surrendered" at the hull of Sheridan's
pickets a mllo nut from eiuup. Ho was
eafo within tho Yankee Hues, and shaking
hands with Buckeyes and Kentucklnns by
tho score, when tho news wns broken to
Henry In his roost on Mission ridge.
That was ono valuable accession to tho
old brlgndo before tho coming battle nnd
tho resources ot brother olllcers were taxed
to lit him out with "regimentals." Tho Km
niets' beautiful sword, 'wish mid belt, tho
nntty uniforms ho wore when shot and cap
tured, were spoils of war thnt disappeared
boforo oven his father reached him on tho
McMtnuvlllo plateau. Thcro was another ac
cession, neither valuable nor requiring uni
form, but one that created almost as-lively
nu excltoment as did tho coming of Normnn
Holt ono thnt was "taken up" on tho
morning report of tho Kmniets from No
vember 20, ten days utter tho lllght of Mal
loy I'rlvnto Theodore Lane from "do
orted" to "present In confinement."
And when the Kmniets heard tho poor
lad's Btory tho'rago against Malloy re
doubled, "There Is Joy over tho sinner
that rcpentcth," but there wns genuine
STlcf among many of the rough fellows of
Company C at eight of tho now prisoner's
uttering. Assured by Mnlloy nt Dalton
that the charge of desertion against him
bad virtually been removed und that am
nesty wns declared lor deserters who re
turned mid reported lor duty; then, en
trusted with urgent messages as well as a
written scrnwl to MtUoy, sr., Theodore had
botn hoodwinked Into nn attempt to escape
from tho confederate Hues, hud been ills
covered, tired upon as ho lied and, though
he rrachod tho union picket, It was only
to tall In terror nnd exhaustion; an Knfleld
bullet had pierced him through nnd
git. The surgeons said he might lin
ger n low weeks, but lie had neither tho
stamina nor the constitution to survive.
Homo painfully to hospital at Chattanooga,
ho would have ouffered even moro but for
tho assiduous enro of Normnn Holt. It wns
nt tho cotsldo thnt at Inst thcro met again
the young Kentucky toldler nnd tho father
of the broken, coutrito boy, nnd as Lane
looked Into Norman's face with eyes that
filled nnd Hps that twitched uncontrollably,
ho wondered If tho young man know what
wilt uppermost In his thoughts that this
blow seemed nlmost like retribution. Yet
tho two pressed hands, gravely, sadly.
Thero wns no reproach by word or look.
Then Norman had to go. "To nrms" wns I
sounding at tho front, Sherman was In!
hiding beyond tho northwnrd screen of hills.
Tlio pontoons were nt tho river abovo nnd i
below tho tug of war wns coming,
Will It over bo forgotten? that soft No
vember morning, when tho mists hung low
on tho slopes of tho mountnlns, veiling tho
valleys north nnd south, wreathing the
placid flood ol tho Tennessee, rolling In
fleecy billows along tho rugged scarp ot
old Lookout, as tho guns flashed nnd thun
dered on tho mighty hilltops, crowning tho
crests with smoko clouds, white us tho
clouds beneath, whllo trnm tho lovol plains
below, mlway between tho Hanking hosts"
In gray, tho men of tho Army of tho
Cumberland nwoko the echotng crngs with
mad cheers at delight, ns, bursting through
tho shrouding vnpor, peering ubovo tho veil,
glinting, sparkling in tho morning sunshine,
tho bnyoncts of Hooker gleamed nlong the
heights, nnd from tho very point nnd pln
nnclo of the grand old mountain, seen by
friend nnd foe alike through wide miles
of glorious landscape, tho Stars nnd Stripes
woro thrown to tho breeze, telling tho glnd
news to a waiting host, to n well-nigh dis
tracted nntlon, that tho slego of Chat
tanooga was raised, thnt tho lofty strong
hold of a valiant and vigorous too was
won, thnt at last tho rebel left was turned.
And now, with Sherman nnd their old nlllcs
of tho Army of tho Tenuesseo bearing down
upon tho enemy's right, howlng mightily ut
tho northwnrd defenses of Mlsalnn Hldge,
tho men whom Buoll trained nnd "Hosoy"
maneuvered und Thomas gloriously fought
In battlo, chafed nnd clamored for their
shnro In tho headlong fight. In beautiful
nrray thoy had been marched out upon tho
plain, so nccurnto tho alignment, so ma-chlue-llko
tho maneuvers, that Hragg and
his men gazed long nnd admiringly, believ
ing It nil to bo sorao formation for n grand
roview. Hut every cartridge box and pocket
was crammed. Tho lean haversacks of tho
weeks gono by hud been fattened with
Jenlously hoarded rations. Every available
man was at his post and In ovory heart
was tho soldier longing to wlpo out onco

red bnttlo flags of tho south here wero men
of tho same brain nnd brnwn and Un

show their mettle, nnd yot being unac

wns going tho rounds that Grnnt had writ
ten to Sherman, or said to somebody, thnt
"theso men of Thomas woro so demoralized
by Chlckaniauga that thoy couldn't bo got
out of their trenchos" to fight. Yet hero
they woro well out of the trenches. Thero
was tho foo Haunting his flags In their vory
faces. What mattered It that the heights
wero heavily hold and lortitied? that fifty
guns were trained upon them? that 30,000
veterans with steady nerves nnd vengeful
eyeB lined those ugly red purapcts from
right to lett? Tho men ot tho Cumberland
cursed tho very sklrmUh lino thnt coverod
their Iront, nnd clamored tor the word to
go ahead aud finish what they had bo well
begun. Ever slnco Monday afternoon, when
they held that bogus review, nnd In sudden

they madly cheered tho advance of Hooker,
when, sharp and clear, Wednesday morning
came, nil along their eager, murmuring
front, tho word was going from man to

grim, silent soldier, waiting thero on Or

by without dcclslvo result. It was now tho

"Now, by God, lot's show 'em'" Quick as
followed tho llvo they couldn't como quick

zeal and soldier wrath straining at overy

swept across tho eastward Held. On their

of Johnson; on their left their old enmrndes
of Woods' threo brigades; farther still tho

of tho opportunities given theso strangers
from dlstnnt fields, emulous ot each other.
"Carry tho rebel rlfio pits nt tho foot of tho
ridge, then hult nnd wnlt for orders!" Such
wns tho word to tho men of tho Cufnbor
land. Hut now, oven over tho muffled tramp,
tramp, ono can hear low-muttored, terse,
significant phrase. "Carry tho pits? Devil

CASCARETS are a sure cure for tape worms and those other pests of worms that make the lives of children
and their mothers miserable. Any variety of parasites that live in the human stomach or bowels, and feed on the
substance which should properly nourish the body, are dislodged by Cascarets Candy Cathartic, and expelled.
One or two tablets usually drive them out, and persistent use is sure to do away with the unwelcome intruders.
Many children and older people suffer from worms without knowing it, and get thin and weak, although their
appetite is good. The best way to find out is to take Cascarets. Never accept a substitute!

cheering tho grimy, crestfallen "Johnnies"
In tho nearest trenches. And over near

generals are fast gathering for mutual con
gratulation, n tumultuous throng ot lhick

In saddle, waving thoso precious colors

from exertion and loss of blood, la propped

CIIAI'TUU. XXVII.
Then followod glorious days In the Hold
nnd solemn hours In tho hospitals nbout
Chattanooga. Great had been tho union
victory of Mission Itldgo, but that enforced
halt at tho foot ot tho slope had cost tbo
Cumbcrlands dear. For two days, nnd with
four divisions, tho Tennessces had battered
long about Tunnel hill, losing somo 150 men
nnd gaining little or nothing, whllo Sheridan
uml Wood, with tho men "demoralized by
Chlckaniauga." In their two divisions alone,
and In a single hour, had lost In killed and
wounded not u man missing 800 more
than Sherman's wholo array of casualties.
und, in splto of such heavy loss, had refused
to bo checked, had stormed Uragg's conter.
captured forty cannon, C.000 stunds of arms
nnd C.00O prisoners, spilt up tho wholo
corps and driven It overy which wny. How
ever, It was Sherman with his famous
marchers, who wns sent In pursuit, while
tho Cumbcrlands wero divided up, somo
going northeast after Longstreot, some
southeast nftcr Hrngg, somo Into hospital,
and among theso Hob Enynrt ngaln, with
thobrovotof brigadier general for brilliant
servlco nnd a bullet In tho leg. With hlra,
moreover, for a brief fortnight nt least, was
his gallant young adjutant, with that long
gash In his sldo and u short paragraph In
Sheridan's report that would havo niado
him n major beforo ho was a month older
but for another governor.
And during that month, splto of nil that
could bo dono by tho skill of surgeons nnd
tho devoted nursing of mother and sister,
Theodoro's feeblo llfo flickered uway. Ho
seemed conscious to tho last, contrite,
"hurablo as u llttlo child." Death was,
perhaps, n merciful solution ot a vexed nnd
serious problem. Hut what mother could bo
mado to think so? "Unstable as water,"'
swayed by overy passing whim or fancy;
his tastes and Inclinations early vitiated
by ovll company abroad utid unwiso man
agement nt home, tho Ind was so far started
on tho downhill path that It Is doubtful It
ho could havo been rescued. Hut tho mother
over fondly cherished tho faith that ho
could und would, had It pleased God to
spare him to her rather than to take him
unto Himself for all that wns good nnd
gentlo and dependent in tho boy camo to
tho surfneo in thnt final fortnight. Ho was
her blessed baby, her darling onco ngaln,
nnd tho world und sin wero forgotto'n. Yot
thero wns Jealous pain for her oven In tho
contemplation o'f his ebbing llfo, for moro

often for hours, to tho neglect ot his own
colonel, and to tho end thnt by tho time
thnt first detachment of anxious women--mothers,
wly.ys nnd sisters reached Chnt
tanooga, tho young Kentueklnn wns prac
tically Indlspsnsnblo to tho dying boy. Lan
saw It nnd surrendered to It, and, though
Norman purpoioly nbsentcd himself tho
afternoon of tho mother's nrrlval, it
could uot ba for long. Theodore begged
for him, begged his parents to help him
undo tho wrong ho had done, begged
Daisy to forget the wild necustntlons In
had mado In tho mad moment of his nrrest
nnd Major Ino went In search ot Nomnm
nnd found him his superior otucornotlned
thnt hour of his commission ns lieutenant
colonel of Kentucky cavalry "for dnrlng
and dauntless leadership In battlo at Stono
Hlvcr and Missionary Uidge." T)0 gov
ernor had seen "Shurd'n'H bet," ns tlnfiney
put It, "nnd gono hint wun belt her."
Then, too, It transpired presently that
whllo Theodoro wanted Normnn even nfter
tho coming of tho women folk, Enynrt didn't
wnnt him at all. The need for nurses nfar
back oloug tho Ohio wns not what It hi
been oftKr I'crryvUlo mid Stono Hlor. It
was urgent now on tho Tennessee, whero
many bruvo lads lay sorely wounded. In
tho snmo pntchwork train to Tullnhnma
with tho Lnnos camo Hob's devoted mother.
In thnt sumo train of thnt samo party wns
Kalo Hay. Tho railway was still a wreck
In a dozen places, and tho corps of doctors,
attendants aud nurses crossed tho Cumber
land rango In ambulances nnd hired
vehicles und Intidod on tho Tennessee, laden
with medicines nnd dnlntics sorely needed
by tho stricken. Tho matronly wing ot
Mrs. Lano guvo tho requisite conventional
shelter to both girls, but It wns tho glrla
that supported tho wing, for tho poor mother
hnd llttlo strength or spirit with which to
faco tho Journey or to tend tho slek.
Mother and daughter had practically
changed places and Daisy, through anxiety,
grief nnd sense of responsibility, had
matured and broadened beyond her years.
Thoso wero dnys when men nnd women, too,
developed with startling suddenness from
careless boy nnd girlhood. Kato Hay's llfo
for months hnd been spent In caring for
tho sick nnd wounded, nnd sho enmo nrouud
with tho chief surgeon's Indorsement to tho
effect thnt "In parting with tho services
of Miss Hay to enable, her to tnko up still
moro nrduous duties ut tbo distant front, ho
felt It his duty to commend her to tho
military nnd medical authorities of tho
army as a most zealous, copablo and
efilclent nurso," nnd ho begged leavo to add
"n bravo and admirable woman." Now Hob
Enynrt was selfish enough to wnnt that
most zealous, capablo und efllclcnt nurse,
that bravo nnd ndmlrnblo woman, nil to
himself, when ho already had his own
mother, nnd Bpeedlly begnn to fret himself
Into a fever bocnuso ho could have so llttlo
of her. It was hard for Mrs. Enyart.
Sometimes I wonder If mothers do
not find tho pangs of maternity easier to
bear than tho realization that tho darling
boy cravos another's ministering hand
that tho beloved daughter Is pining for
another's nest that "mother" 1b, nfter nil,
not Indispensable, nnd that Bomo other Is
now Queen Paramount.
And It wns a solemn scene nt Thoodoro'n
bcdsldo tho evening of their coming, l'nlo
from suffering and nn emotion ho could
not entirely conccnl, Normnn Holt, lennlng
on tho arm of tho mnn who tho year beforo
had so coldly treated him, enmo Into tho
prosenco of tho mother who had turned him
from her door. Daisy was not thero.
"It Is Colonel Holt now," tailored Lano.
with nn attempt at a smile.
Colonel Holt!" feebly cried Theodore.
"That's good that's grand!"
