along the top with grimy faces. A

head and closed Ills eyes.
His thoughts were so stunned that
tin' slowly lessening I'aimmiaile seem
ed like a dream, ami lie hardly noticed
when It had ceased, ami lie began to
hear voices, cries of wouuded men all
down the slope ami other men talking
up above. There was a clump of trees
to the right anil two or three crows In
the treetopa cawing familiarly.
Au
hour or two must have passed, for the
sun was down ami the river mist creep­
ing up the slope, lie lay on Ills back,
staring blankly at the pale sky.
A group of men came down ami stood
on the rocks above. They eqilld prole
ably see him. but a man oil Ills hack
with his toes up was nothing particular
there. They talked with a soft drawl.
"Doggouedest clean up I ever saw."
" I hey hain't no business to come up
heali, yuh know. They come some ins­
tance now.”
“Sliuah! We ain't huntin’ rabbits.
What'd yuh suppose?”
Then they went on.
The mist came up white and cold and
covered It ■ 'I over. He could nut see
the wall a’
'onger, though lie could
hear the vo . . s. He turned on bls face
and crawlei' along below the brambles
ami rocks to where the clump of trees
stood with i deep hollow below them.
They were chestnut trees. Some one
was sitting In the hollow witli his back
against the roots.
During the rush up the slopes and
terraces Dinkey Cott fairly enjoyed
himself, The sisirtiug blood In him
sang In his ears an old song that the
leopard knows, it may be. waiting In
the mottled shadow, that the rider
knows on the race course, the hunter
In the snow—the song of a craving that
only excitement satisfies. The smoke
blew down the hill in liis face. He
went down a hollow ami up the other
side. Then something hot amt sudden
came Into the middle of him, and he
rolled back against the roots of a great
tree.
"Hullv gee! I'm plunked!” lie grum­
bled disgustedly.
For tlie time he felt no pain, but his
blood ceased to sing ill bls ears. Every­
thing seemed to settle down around
him—blank and dull and angry. He
felt as If either the army of tlie north
or tlie army of the south had not treat­
ed him rightly. If they had given him
a minute more, be might have clubbed
something worth while. He sat up
against a tree, wondered what hie
chance was to pull through, thought It
poor and thought he would sell it for a
drink.
The firing dropped off little by little,
ami the mist was coming up. Dinkey
began to see sights. His face and
hands were hot. and things seemed to

The deacon took the cough drops reg­

The deacon declared “that young
