STOBY OF SHELL AXSIE.
An Incident of Sherman's Maroh
to the Sea.
Kobody expected Gen. 8herman to
come into Atlanta from the Booth.
Oh, no, in the natural course of
event he most have certainly shoul
dered his way riffht straight on from
the north,' and accordingly the prim
and irrimy, frayed out fragments of
liood'a confederate army wallowed in
the stilling trenches all along the
vast semi-circular line of outworks
that faced the valley of the Chatta
hoochee and commanded the ap
proaches from the AUatoona hills be
yond. '
Hut he of the eagle eye was a strate
gist, lie wanted. to cot off and coop
up the gray jackets in the city, and for
that reason he quietly marched the
larger part of his army up the west
ern bank of the river eight or ten
miles, flung them across the river, and
with a mighty swing of that ponder
ous trip-hammer of war he struck them
from the south, thus cutting off their
lines of supplies by the Georgia rail
road. Then followed those terrible
days which wound up with the fierce
onslaught of July 32, when the hope
less, .half4ftarvel southern men, the
g&Uant mon of the west, met in a
mighty gladiatorial contest which re
sulted in the fail of Atlanta.
These are matters for the historian,
but what I am going to recount is one
of those wild, weird romances with
which this terrible conflict was so
fraught, and here is the stransre story:
"On to the sea," was the watchword
of Bherman'B armies, and the sullen
and dogged retreat of the confederates
to Jonesboro was. the first movement
of the defeated and despairing confed
erates. .
Jonesboro was a little inland town,
nestled amid field and forest, inter
spersed with beautiful undulating
hills and grassy valleys green with the
hope of the harvest, but little suited
as a defensive point for the bruised
and battered legions who were recoil
ing slowly toward the southern sea.
Breastworks had been hastily thrown
up flanking the line of the -Central
railroad, and in the ditches behind
them the straggling remnants of obsti
nate confederates were entrenched. .
It was a gloriously beautiful sum
mer day when the skirmish line of the
northern hosts debouched from the
works and took up position in front of
these breastworks.. . -
Taken -by . surprise after relying in
vain on the -ability of the southern
troops to check the onflow of the le
gions of the conquering hosts, the
women and children, led by the lame
and the halt and the aged men of the
country, were fleeing? for life, panic
stricken and utterly demoralized. -
As the sun rose over the swelling
ridges the eyes of the soldiers of either
army caught the gleam of a little
whtle tent, half hidden in a wood just
a little to the left of the lineof attack,
and above it fluttered tiny white flag,
no bigger than a man's band.
It was a woman's handkerchief, and
all the chivalrous feelings of -the
American soldier were aroused as the
grim veterans caught sight of that lit
tle appealing bit of cambric floating
there through the uprising mists of
war. The order was passed -to respect
that flag, and when the great guns ve

retreat, leaving the field to the tri
umphant victors.
As they swept forward a drummer
boy. Otto Harden, of a Pennsylvania
regiment, passed by the little white
tent in the wood
Guards in blue uniform surrounded
it, and while the smoke of battle
swirled above and around tbere tras a
plaintive cry from the te:it, end the
stalwart surgeon lifted the flap of-the
little tent and emerged followed bj an
old neress, bearing in her arms n
tiny, white bundle. .
"Please Goo, mam, is you en-inter
take us off ter tie norf?" wailed she,
with the big tear coursing down her
withered face. "It'll sho' kill Miss
Annie ef yo' does.'
'.Not a bit of it, old lady, not a bit
of it," replied the good-natured sur
geon, with a smile.
"Hello, Otto, you're the very boy I
want This 13 your prize, as yon are
nearest her age. and we are .poing to j
detail you to take charge of this wee
prisoner and -see that the little reb
don't escape."
The rough soldiers came crowding
around for a peep at the prisoner, and
many eyes filled with tears of tender-

"Aiu't it s wonder that she and tlfc

"It is. indeed," replied the corporal,
"tor look there whore a stray shell ant

"Well, boys, she 1 our prise. Let as
christen her, tor time Is up, and th
Johnnies are watting tor ea behind
some bush heap down the road. Una.
Otto, speak up. You shall have tl
honor of naming the little Bias," eai.
the surgeon.
. "Call her Shell Annie," eaid the boy,
as hiis mind reverted to hie owe or
phaned days, "because she was saved
from that shell."
"Good!" cried the
"Shell Annie," ehornaed the sergeant
and the corporal in a breath.
"Ben, give me your canteen. Otto,"
said the surgeon. "Hold her bead an,
auntie," and, sprinkling a tew drops
on the liny head, he continued: "Shell
Annie, I baptise thee in the name of
the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
and may They ever protect thee as ba the
God of battle to-day. Now, Otto,
the sergeant will remain with a file o
men until morning, and yon aaay re
main with them, for yoa look tared and
worn out. my boy."
At the word of command the other
soldiers took up the line of march, and
faint and fainter grew the roar and
ramble of departing legions, rolling
on irresistibly to match their blue bil
lows with the bine wave of the dis

Twenty years after the farlinf of the
Sags the battlefield of Joneebare was
a corn field, and the rustling rows of
the crested corn hid from view tike al
most obliterated traces of strife. Pease
and plenty reigned, and the oaevmed
veteran of the north waa hobnobbing
with the peg-legged veteran of the
south aa they laughingly neonate
the experiences of the war.
. Asheville has become a great mini
for summer visitors from all eeetlene
on account of its quietude, its health
ful air and water and he splendid
scenic surroundings. '
As the train slowed up at the little
station a man. apparently hleeaad with
all the activity of youth, bnt bearing
about him that enmistakable air of
maturity that indicates intimate
knowledge of and rough experience
with life, stepped on the platform and
strolled up the hill toward the hotel.
The dusky twilight of the dying
summer day softened the rugged out
lines of the gloomy "yMffltaina, and
the tinkle of a crystal stream nude
music in the thickets below.
Suddenly the stranger wae startled
by a wild cry, and around a turn of
the road came a horse at full speed,
and in the buggy, swaying to and fro
at his heels, there was a flatter of
white. : " -
Springing forward and dropping his
belongings, the stranger 'i-hsd the
reins of the frightened "li"il and ar
rested his mad career, bnt the ahoek
was so sudden that the occupant of
uie Dnggy was tossed into the boshes
by the roadside.
Beleasing the horse, which stood
trembling with .fear and excitement, -the
stranger lifted the prostrate font,
and as the crowd from- the hotel tiseii
rushing to toe spot ene opened her
eyes in a dazed and startled way.
"Are yon hurt much?" asked the
stranger.
"So, thank yon: I wae only fright

and was going for. a ride wbea he be

saia tne stranger, brueqneiy, iviins;
her his card as he resigned her to her
friends and walked away.
On the. following aaorning the
stranger arose late after hie fatigutn;

breakfast beside hie plate wae a littl.
perfumed note, and he opened ft an-,
read it, half amused and half in won
