They had been in the great kitchen
of the Soldiers home, through the
,wm;rri,.H. readiutr-room, assembly
hall, gardens aud jfreenhouse. OM1
they hesitated after Corporal Chadwick I
said good-by at the foot of the flag
"Is there somethm? more? asked
the corporal, leaning on his crutch.
"Yes, Uncle Chad. I wanted Myra
to see Gen. Reeve and hear about
Shadowy Ford," said Newton, clasping
with one hand the plump fingers of his
cousin Myra, and with the other little
Clint's rosy wrist. , . '
Th nrnoral shook his head sadly.
"Gen. Eeeve is dying, boy. Retells
his tale no more. You will find him
sitting on the west porch. He likes to
be there in the sun. But he don'tknow
his friends. Ue doesn't know even me.
So let Myra take a look at him and
then run home."
Newton led them wondering down
tlm Virnnrl irravel walk toward the wide
front gate. They looked back to the
fluttering flag, the vine-clad walls, the
veterans grouped beneath the trees;
and on the side porch they saw the
stout figure of the general, seated in an
armchair.
Newton had been awed when he
heard that the general was dying.
But Gen. Reeve appeared as natural
as ever, sitting (juietly in his chair.
They strolled around the great facade
until they stood at the foot of the
steps.
The general opened his eyes and
looked down on them pleasantly.
"Ceme over and play with me, Ben,"
he said.
Newton glanced behind him, and
then all about in much perplexity. He
saw none near. To whom, then, was
the general speaking?
"Come up here, Ben. Your mother
won't car. " said the general, beckon
ing feebly to Newton. So they all
went ud and stood around his chair.
Myra looked curiously on his wrinkled
face and Bnowy beard, in such con
trast with the new hat and glittering
cord, the neat blue uniform, and the
brilliant colors of the grand army
badge on his breast. Newton was a
lit.i i timorous, and a little hurt. The
general had known him well, and now
called him Ben! However, he ven
tured to say, forgetting that the cor
poral had told him not to stop there:
"This is my cousin Myra come to
visit us. And I wanted her to hear
your story about Shadowy Ford."
"Shadowy Ford!" The general lost
his pleasant smile, and instead a look
of pride appeared upon his face.
"Yes, sir. I am the officer who held
Hood's army back for twenty-four
hours at Shadowy Ford. It won me
my brevet as general."
And facing about he spied the clump
of daises Mvra bore in her hand, and
to which she had clung during the hour
of hor visit at the home.
The general put out his trembling
fingers and took them from her. He
held them up in the sunlight, smelled
them, and dropped las hand in lus lap.
The general was cryingl This seemed
so strange, so terrible, that Clinton
looked at Newton, and Newton looked
at Clinton, and both had a mind to run
away.
"What was Shadowy Ford?" asked
Myra. She felt instinctively an Im
pulse to talk of something that might
help to hide the general s emotion.
"Shadowy Ford was a place down
south somewhere. A river. And he
kept anybody from crossing for a day.
And it suved the army. And there is
whore he got his wound," exclaimed
New ton.
"I'll tell you why I fought so hard at
the ford, ilcn," mid the general in a
wlii.er. "I never told anybody before,
but vou'll keep it to yourself. Wo are
ennuis, aud always going to be, and so
you ought to know. And you're differ
ent from the other boys. You don't
make fun when any of us try to do
what in right. They all say it was be
cause 1 was as brave as a lion and a
born hero, and thought of my country.
But it wn no audi thing. I waa
frightened when I beard Hood was so
near ua, and only the river be
tween. And I'd have retreated fifty
utiles without stopping if it hadn't
Wo for uht one circumktauce. I
never told anybody of this before, and
don't you reWnt It. We were three
miles from the river, six hundred of us
marching south, when I aaw from the
highway a flue old house set back on
a knoll among the tree. At the side
was a well. It was a hot morning and
I was thirsty. The sight of tlm t well
made my mouth water. So I galloped
in all alone. An old darky woman
brought me a gourd, and I had a good
drink of aa dellol. ua water aa I ever
tHKted. While 1 stood at the curb on
of the kergeauta wlm hud Wen acout
lug ahead rode In to me, accompanied
bv a mulatto on a mule. This mulatto
was very bright, and told tne Uood'a
army, forty thousand strong, wat mak
ing a forced march toward the ford;
and hl advance guard wat not more
than ten inilea away. After question
ing him el.iMly I believed the sUiry.
So I aaid s Ihe sergeant: 'You send
I.l,.ut ol. i it tmi and Mai. t'tiham. I U
wait riiriil hrre. And tell (apt.
Ilulilirrt to hull the Iroopa where thay
are.' I hnd no mind to opnne an army
of that aic with my band. I waa
under diatriti..imry ordrra. It waa

Nobodv knew the
real reason that had changed me in a
minute and made me so brave; for it
was a bold thing to do. The ford was
a nmirtr of a mile long and rather
shallow, and we had nothing but a
belt of woods to shield us. The fortu
nate feature was that Hood's artillery
horses gave out from long marching,
and he could not bring up his cannon
promptly, or he might have shelled us
out. When his advance guard camo in
sight we had our light battery in po
sition to sweep the river, and had a
good sheltered place for every man
with plenty of ammunition at his side.
It was toward the close of the war, and
we were armed with repeating rin.es.
My six hundred men made as much
noise as five thousand ordinary troops
would do, and that helped greatly.
"Across the river was a high moun
tain. Its shadow gave the ford a name,
for un stream and down stream the

sun, while here it ran swift and black.
The advance guard plunged in, three
thousand of them, and tried to force a
passage. We mowed them down in
terrible numbers. Then they detailed
sharpshooters to climb the trees and
the mountain and try to dislodge us,
but we were too well protected. Next
they sent their cavalry upstream, who
swain the stream and charged us two
thousand five hundred strong. We am
bushed them with our battery, and
drove them back with fearful loss. My
blood was up now and I was every
where up stream and down stream,
sendinir out scouts and skirmishers,
and directing the fire of our troops. On
my rounds I got a bullet in the thigh
which finally put me on the invalid
list
"About one o'clock next morning
Hood got his artillery up and shelled
us. He set the woods afire in many
places, destroyed the baggage wagons
ond most of our horses, and killed
many of our men. But we stuck to
the position, and still were able to
sweep the river with our bullets.
"At nine o'clock the enemy sudden
ly disappeared, and we found they had
made a pontoon bridge eight miles be
law and crossed. They would have
annihilated us had they turned back,
for we were too worn and demoralized
to escape; but instead they swept on
south, too late to do us any harm
there. We had delayed them until the
intended raid was a failure.
"And that's the secret behind my
exeat renutation, Ben. It wus not so
much that I was resolute and fearless,
as that I tried to please the woman
who looked so like mother.
"And it goes back of that even, to
