"I wouldn't have minded it
bo much," sni3 the major to his
friend, the provost marshal, "if
the fellow Indn't carried off a
lot of valnahlojiapers with him.
lie knew lots of chemical se
crets, and he hid his formulas
written out, aid they were in
his pocket whtn he left."
'Von migte advertise," sug
gested the privest marshal.
"Good idea" replied the ma
jor. "I will do it."
The next morning the city
papers contained a small adver
tisement stating that a lirst-
class chemist could secure em
ployment, at a good salary, at
the irovernnient works.
At the time there were very
few idle chemists in the confed
eracy, and aftei waiting several
days the major began to think
that he would liave to send up
to Richmond for man.
One night when he was alone
i t 1 ,1 . .
in ins omcc, ne commenced a
letter to the secretary of war.
lie had just penned a request
for the detail of an experienced
expeit, when lie became con
scious ot the presence ot anoth
er person in the room.
'J didn't see him, and T
didn't hear him," said the ma
jor afterward, "but I could jfeel
my llesh crawl, and knew that

The maior wheeled around in
his chair, and saw a man stand
ing just inside the door. The
t1raiier was tall and thin and
his black suit contrasted strange
ly with his pale face and white
hands.
"Maim- iJalton noted those

black attire, t lie man s hair ami
eyes were of the same sombre
..... . i
shade, a pair ol black rimiiuM
eveclasses and a black teal ring.
Hie olhcor irrvo a sharp iook
at his visitor's face, but its dead
whitjness was an expressionless
. s a mask.
"Ahem!" ejaculated the ma
ior.
"I must introduce myseii,
said the stranger, stepping for
ward. 'jIy name is I'ellico. I
am a chemist, and I am famil
iar with the manufacture of ex
plosives. J saw your advertise
ment and decided to otter my
services."
He spoke rapidly, in a musi
cal voice, with a slight foreign
accent.
"You arc no american?" said
the major.
"Italian," briefly responded
the other. "I belong to a fam
ily of famous chemists, and we
have saved nearly every govern
ment in Europe."
hist ihen the major remem
bered that he had a sentry sta
tioned in the front of bis oiliee.
"Confound it, sir!" he broke
out angrily, "how did you get
in?"
"I beg your pardon," answer
ed Tellico', courteously. "When
your olHce was pointed out to
me I walked in."
"But the sentry, the guard?-
"Oh, the soldier, 1 simply
i i i. i?
passeu mm ny.
"Yo.i ran a great risk of be
ing shot," growled the major.
"Xotatall; there was no
danger," was the quiet reply.
I'ellico's manner impressed
the ofiicer, and he asked the vis
itor for' his credentials.
The man in black prodveed a
letter of recommendation from
a Spanish ollicer of high rank
in Cuba. .
"So you hake not been long
in this country?" reinnrjpd the
confederate.
"Ten days. I slipped through
the blockades, landed in Flori
da, aiuMhcn came here."
Further conversation did not
cause him to say anything that
was inconsistent with the first
account of himself.
The interview resulted in the
engagement of Pellico, and on
the following morning he went
to work.
From the very outset the man
in black gave perfect satisfac
tion,, but he made no friends.
The men called hiu "Mr. Mid
night," and the oliiccrs quietly
agreed among themselves that
-h-wa& a- mystenoTiS7vcry use
ful, no doubt, but a very agree
able companion.
It did not take long to make
the discovery that the Italian's
bombs and torpedoes were the!
best that had ever been made.
One night I'ellico made an
other visit to the oflice of Alaj.
Dalton.
"Major," raid he after some
talk about powder, gun cotton,
Greek lire, and other matters,
'the main object of our explo
sive is to destroy the enemy?"
'Urn! well yes, to a certain
extent," replied the gallant con
federate. ""What do you think then of
a boom that it capable of doing
a hundred fold more damage
than any now in use?"
"It would be a big .thing."
"Vvell," continued Pellico, "I
have invented it, I have a chem
ical compound that can be pro
jeered into the enemy's lines
throuidi the medium of a shell,
and when the bhell bursts a
deadly vapor spreads over an
erea of 200 yards, killing every
living thing! One shell is ca
pable of killing an entire rsgi
ment. "Why. my God, man," ex
claimed the major, "that would
be murdei !"
'And what is war?'' asked
Pellico, in his low, soft voice.
The subject did not drop
there. The man in black had
so much to say about the inven
tion that the major found hinw
self deeply interested.
-This little thine; "said Pdli-
co, exhibiting sonieting that
looked like a pill covered with
tin foil, "would kill a house full
of j.t ople."
"Let me convince you," urg
ed the chemist, "if you will
walk a square with me I will
show you something." ,
The major objected but the
italial assured him that his in
tended victims were several
hogs in the rear of the edifice.
When they reached the place
thev found the hogs quietly
snooping in a fence corner.
Then 'they retired lii'ty yards
or so and Pellico blew his little
pili through a hollow cane.
"Wait three minutes,"
he
said.
At the expiration of the time
the two approached the fence
corner.
Four large hogs lay stretched
outon the ground. It roq hired
only a giauce to see mat uu;j
were all dead.
"Jow," said the chemist as
they walked away, "this experi
ment is on a very small scale,
but von can form an idea from
what you have seen."
'It is astonishing," comment
ed the major.
. "Nothing to what I have
done." said the man in black.
In Cuba I took a sling and
threw a ball of that stuff of big
as my lit into a village. The
next 'morning it was found that
all the inhabitants, some BUG or
400, were dead. People out
side Hippor-ed that it was some
mvftcrions epidemic, but it was
l
i . i . ii.... t
not."
Maj. Dalton threw
aloof from his compan
himself
on.
"And you killed those inno
cent people for nothing?" . ho
asked indignantly.
"In the interest of science,'
my clear major. Resides, they
were native Cubans. I would
not have treated genuine Span
iards tiiat way."
The major pulled his mus
tache and walked on in silence
for a few ii)inutes.
"Wont t!6 you suppose?" he
asked after jsome rellection.
"My scheme is a big one,"
replied Pellico. "A few little
pellets thrown into Libby, Salis
bury and Andeifsonville will rid
prisoners
and save our
government no
end of expense. Then thev
must use my invention in the
Meld. The armies of Snerman
and Grant will melt away before
it, and a few hundred projee
tiles fired from long range guns
into .New York will turn that
metropolis into a city of the
dead. "What do oti say?"
"Hello, corporal; come here?"
vnllnd .tlin rrunniv -
oeverai soinicrs ran 10 me
spot in a hurray.
"Seize him!" shouted the ofii
cer, "and take him to the guard
house, lie is an enemy, a mur
derer, the devil himself, I be
lieve. Put hold on search
him."
"Only some papers and these
pill." said the corporal.
"I'll take them." said the ma
jor. "Iow hustle him off to
the guard-house "
The major walked with rapid
strides to the office of the com
mander of the post. The pro
vest marshal was summoned as
a party to the conference, and
other ollicers were called in.
The council lasted until a
very late hour. Xuver in their
whole military experience bed
the ollicers been confronted with
so serious a problem.
When they dispersed the sen
tinel outside heard one of them
say:
"He is a monster, an enemy
to the whole human race. We
cannot accept his aid, and if we
let him go. he may at anv time
turn against us and against our
people."
"There is but one thing to
do." said the major.
The next day the man in
black was found dead on the
floor of the guardhouse. Py
his side lay a shred of tin foil.
"I searched bi4iii" said the
corporal, ""and took all those
shiny pills away from him.
How did that get there I won
der, and what in the iniscliies is
it, anyhow?"
The commander of t lie post,
the provest marshal and major
Paitoti showed little surprise
when they heard of iVllieo's
death. The eoriorl, however,
heard the p:ovet marshal speak
in an undertone to the major.
"What did you do with the
other jxdlets?" he said.
"I rode out io the river and
threv.- them in," answered the
major.
All right," responded the
maivhal. "This has leen a
strange piece of Inimss from
fiit to last, but I don't think
our conscience will ever hurt us
for our part in it."
Long years afierward a gray
hairwd confederate veteran men
tioned some of the facts of the
case to a circle of inter sled lis
teners. "I have always thought that
he was the devil," said the vet
eran. "Did the maior rcaliv kill
him?" inquired a lady.
The veteran shut one eye and
twisted his mustache.
"We had better not talk
aboirl that," he said. "Pnt yon
may rest assured that if he did
kill the wretch he haii never re
gretted it." Atlanta Constitu
