A Deserter By EDWARD B. TAPPAN Copyright by American Pra Aim ciutlon, Mil. Oue.moruliig lu lsttf, when the Con federate and Federal forces were light ing In Virginia, a rawboned man la butternut entered the tamp of a regi ment of Tennesseeaus and said to an officer be met: "Cap", when you una goln' to fight the Yankees ?" The officer was passing on when the man in butternut called to hlin. "Say, cap! I want to enlist." "Who are you, au4 where do you come from?" asked the officer, molli fied at the prospect of a recruit. "I'm Ben IUggs, and I hall from Tennessee." "Tennessee? This regiment la from Tennessee. "Waal, thar's whar I ball from. Borne Union men drlv' me out. I come over the mountings fo' to Jlue this yere army." Rlggs was enlisted and turned over to a drlllmaster. After three days' bard drilling the tergeant went to the captain and reported that It was sim ply Impossible to teach the Tenuessee an the manual of arms. When be bad taught htm a movement the recruit would forget It while he was teaching second one. He seemed to be anxious to become a soldier, but had no ca pacity to learn anything. The sergeant wan told to do the best he could with him and turn him Into the ranks for service. The first night Rlggs was sent out on picket be fired his gun and came run ning In full tilt, alarming the whole picket line. Supposing him to be a coward as well as stupid, at the next brush be was put lu the front rank, but he stood up well, proving conclu sively that he was simply stupid. Rlggs' stupidity was of the kind to cause trouble. lie went one day to the brigade commander and asked him If he bad any tobacco. The general sent him with a 'note to his captain, order ing the officer lu future to keep "thia fool away from these headquarters." This mortified the captain, and he put Rlggs In the guardhouse. The colonel, hearing of the episode, directed the captain to release Rlggs, since there could be no criminality attached to the act of a "blamed fool." After this the captain spent most of his time thinking how he could get rid of Rlggs. He tried surreptitiously to have him transferred to another com pany, but the plot was discovered and failed. No other company would have him. Then one day Rlggs met the di vision commander and told him he thought he would like a position on his staff. lie was sent back with a repri mand for his captain for not better Instructing bis men In the proper rela tion of a soldier to his commander. The captain now vowed he would get rid of Rlggs If he had to shoot him. 'Whenever there was a fight he put Rlggs right In the middle of It, but somehow the stupid fellow es caped, while the best men were being shot down. After a week's exposure of Rlggs the fighting suddenly ceased. Then no sooner had Rlggs got him self furbished up than there was to be a grand review, at which be placed his captain again in trouble. Passing the reviewing officer, he swung his gun In the nir and sang out: "Three cheers for General CI" Rlggs' captain was desperate. He formed a malicious resolve. lie would put the fool In the position of a de serter nnd get him shot lie told Rlggs one morning that the Yankees were offering bounties as blgh as a thousand dollars to any one who would enlist It might be a good move for Rlggs to desert, go over to the Yankees, enlist and bring back the bounty. "By Jlng," exclaimed the dunce, "that 'ud be a good idee! I could set the hull company up with that." The captain offered to connive at his desertion. He took Rlggs out on the picket line and told him to run for It. The eaptuln had arranged that the de serter must pass through a narrow de file between two low hills, at the far ther end of which were posted two men who had been Instructed to arrest Rlggs and bring him back to camp. Ills trial and execution would speedily follow. Rlggs triangulated his long legs so rapidly that when he met the men who were to HTrest him somehow he couldn't stop. They attempted to head him off, but he had got by thera before they renehed his path. They fired at him. whereupon he turned, shot one with his musket nnd the other with his re volver nnd sped on. If he was stupid he was certainly quick, but quick for the first time lu his life. "Well." siiid his captain. "I'm rid of him, though I fear he's renlly fool enough to come back. However, If he does he'll be shot for desertion." Rut Rlggs never returned. On reach ing the Feder.il pickets he asked to be fnken nt once to the headquarters of a pertain general. "Hello. Raker!" exclaimed the gen- rnl. "You back! I thought you'd got yourself hanged by this time. Hope you've p't a lot of Information." 'I have, general. I enlisted In the rebel nrniy n n Tennesseenn I didn't say from east Tennessee and rroved j 10 stupid that they wouldn't keep me." "Well, what are they doing over fhere?" asked the general. "Stotiewnll .Tnckson has been with drawn from the Shenandonh valley and Is man hlng townrd Richmond. I What he will do there I couldn't find j out. but nil the scattered forces are ! ordered to J ln I.ee, and It looks as If there was to !e a concentrated attack i on McClellnn." "tocl for you!" said the general. LIVE WIRE GLASS SOCIALJUNCTION The Live Wire lilble (lass of Valley Christian church held another one of Its six-lal functions Wednesday even ing, at the church, and though the busy time Is on now, the attendance was tine. The event was successful, and was pronounced one of the most profitable gatherings the class has ever bad. Mr. Peart, the teacher, atted as master of ceremonies, anil addresses were made by the follow ing members: "The growth of the class" Mr. Peart. 'Possibilities of the class" Mr. Kobblns. "Personnel of the class" Mr. Myers. "My opinion of the class" Mr. Shoemaker. "The clans as a source of knowl edge" Mr. Murphy. "Duty of each member" Mr. Smith. "How to raise money for the class" Mr. Nesblt. "The sunny side of the class" Mr. Jinks. These addresses were all to the point and were greatly applauded There was no uncertain sound In any of them. The class seemed to be all In all to those present. It Is a remarkable thing how the class has wormed Its way Into so many hearts. The size of the class, the grade of the people who come to It, the hold It has on them, nnd their unbounded praise of It, seems more like a dreum than a reality. When the writer of this article looks Into tne faces of so ninny Intelligent men and women and knows that many of them have not been In a Bible class for yenrs, there U but one con elusion, namely, nothing Is Impos sible. Prof. Wm. Auhagen, one of the scholars of the country, was present at the gathering and expressed a wish to become n melulier, seeing he was of age. He was accepted. No person who Is under twenty-one can be admitted. The class has Is-come dear to many of lu members and they look for ward to Sunday morning with Joy. ful anticipation. To see strong minded men ami women, with mime frost In their hair, making their way to the meeting place of the class with Bible In hand, gives one a feeling not easily expressed. The writer won ders how nil this has ever come to pass and Just what the end will is?. What has been and what Is the at traction? In what particular thing Is the magnet located? There Is something pulling the people. Who will answer what It Is? The class has Is-eii In existence for six mouths, so It cannot be its newness. This Is no circus performance, no vaudeville, no music, vocal or Instrumental, The class Is quiet and dignified, their attentlou perfect. Not one moment Is spent upon any outside matter, not so much as a whisper upou any thing else. The lesson Is the one topic. The class begins on the dot of time and goes through the full limit of the hour's study. Perhaps one reason that makes the class such an attraction is that the studies have been along advanced lines, and historical criticism has played an Important purt In the dis cussion of the lessons. Persous who come with a disposition to learn never go away empty handed. Per sous who do not attend, and think we are learning only a few thlugs about the Bible, are laboring under a false Impression. The teaching of the class takes la a much wider com pass than that. The writer Is at a loss to know where a person could put In a more pleasant nnd profitable hour than at the Live Wire class, which meets every Sunday morning at 10 o'clock sharp. Of course Nome things taught In the class do not please everybody, esechilly those who are sadly nf tl let ci I with ancestral rheumatism Christ made little Impression upon those who said: "We have Abraham for our father;" and "Art thou great er than our father, Jacob?" Now It was the great teacher who said: "11 the truth shall make ye free, ye shall 13 free Indeed." The Live Wire Bible clasw In In search of truth, and the prayer ol this scrtlie Is: "Lord, give u great success." 20 Acres OF Fine Red Shot Soil Hood Rivei Apple Land in the Famous Oak Grove District Ten milea out in the muthweat part of th Hon Kiver Valley, Uuod Kiver.
