Yet the only time when he looked serious was nt being ordered north on recruiting service He w as afraid he would miss , a tight. But this was in the beginning of it. The enthusiastic young men of that periisl got quite enough of ligliting be fore they were through with campaign ihg, nml those will! struggled with ilis ease and wounds had a harder tim» still. But this story is of the earlier, reckless. dev il may care period when the youngsters who went into the war felt that they were off on a picnic. Bob Meriden was as full of the ro mance of war as any soldier in the northern army. He had read stories of spies and their doings and was es|s>- ciaily ambitious to do secret service work* So he told his captain that if there was any cull from headquarters for volunteers to go south for informa tion to let him know One day Bob was notified Unit such service was re quired. and if lie cared to undertake it he was to report in person at head quarters. He lost no time in doing so, and the general after looking him over said to him: “Can you talk like a southerner?” “Reckon." was Bob's reply. “Let me hear yon say New York.” “Nicu Yank.” “1 expect you’ll get on in that re spect. Have you ever done any secret service work?” “No, general.” The general was silent for a few moments. He realized the dangers the boy was about to meet and hesi tated to send him. He told Boh that he ran a considerable risk of being hanged and advised him not to under take the Job. But the young soldier begged to be permitted to go, and the general finally consented. Bob was to proceed south to the Confederate lines, note the positions and numbers of the troops and secure such other informa tion as would be valuable to his com rounder. That evening after dark the spy, dressed in a suit of “butternut” and a faded straw hat, presented a pass at the picket line for Abner Shock. He was permitted to go fortli and after walking a few miles, in order that he might not be found near the Federal lines, went into bivouac in a wood. In the morning lie was awakened by the sun shining through the trees and. sitting up, looked about him. The birds were chirping in the trees, the air was balmy. Indeed, the scene was as peaceful as any the young man had ever experienced. It was difficult for him to realize that he was between two armies, whose business it was to slaughter each other, and that if he were known to he a Union soldier in disguise he would be swinging off from the linib of n tr«s>. Arising from liis earthly bed, he made his way to the turnpike and walked southward. Coining to a farm house. lie asked for a breakfast and received some corn pone and a cup of chicory In lieu of coffee. Being asked where he came from and where lie was going, he said that the Yanks had destroyed Ids father's farm and he was going down to enlist in the Con federate army. After breakfast, for which he paid in Yankee sliinplnsters of tlie period, he took to the road again. He had not gone far tiefore lie met a slip of a girl walking in the opposite direction. She was a country girl of the better class nnd quilt“ pretty. Boh. who had seen nothing but men since he came to Vir ginia. was not minded to let this young creature go by without a word witii her. She was currying a basket on her arm containing eggs and butter, and Bob. by way of opening conversation, asked her if they were for sale. She replied Hint they were not, but he was nt lil>erty to help himself. He had no use for either at present and declined. Then they sat down beside the road and liegan to chatter like magpies. The girl, much to Bob’s surprise, told him that she belonged to n Union fain tly; that tliey were ail being treated very luidly and that she would like to go north to Harrisburg, w here an aunt of hers was living. Blit she feared she would not Is* permitted to pass through the Union lines ami wouldn’t know how' b> travel if she were.

What she would do next she didn’t succeed In making clear to Boh The upshot of the dialogue waa that Rob changed hl« mind shoot enlisting In the Confederate army nnd told the girl that he would tie hack that way in a day or two and he thought he might help her on her way to her aunt in Harrisburg.
