The Confederate chieftain had not dreamed that Sherman, after taking Atlanta, would think of turning hack to go to the assistance of his general. Indeed, the enemy had taken all possible precautions to keep Corse from sending a messenger to his commander. How this had been done the men of the slenal corps could doubtless tell. At any rate Sherman knew his assistance was needed, and Indeed, he had figured on this beforehand, and would have sent reinforcements back even If news had not reached his ears. Again they traversed the trail marked hy scenes of desperate valor on both sides where men In gray met the furious onslaught of the legions In blue, and only gave way, slowly and sullenly, before the advance of overwhelming numbers. How these reviewed memory scenes; they could point out. the very spot where they were charging when a concealed battery opened upon them with its raking fire, plowing great furrows through their ranks; but It was with n tin 111 of pioud satisfaction they also remembered that even this hailstorm of shot and shell failed to quench (heir enthusiasm, and that pushing on with indomitable pluck, headed hy Colonel John, they had carried the hill, seized the ha'tery. and turned its guns upon their late own ers.

And when In the far distance they caught the dull throbbing of lieavj guns, like the pulsations of nature's hart, how eageily they presse ; on. like hounds held in the leash. Weariness was forcotlen. The danger and difficulties thn eon fronted them looked Lilliputian now. Forward! Their comrades were sorely beset and In need of assistance. Not anticipating the coming of the relief column, the Confederates were hardly In a position to lay a trap for It. They had been sorely tried In the gloil-ou- s army that would sweep like a besom destruction through the fertile regions of Georgia and the Carollnas, leaving ruins in its wake with the resources that bad hitherto upheld them, dwindling lower and lower, while their credit was utterly a thing of the past, it was evident to every thinking man that the Confederate cause was lost, even before the last decisive campaign had been fully started. Inspired with the promise of Immediate relief, the Federal defenders of Altoona Pass would not yield under any conditions. A grave danger now menaced the host that of being Confederate caught between two fires, the upper and the nether millstone. It required considerable military skill to withdraw the Confederate host from the scene of battle without a general engagement. The eager columns of Sherman pressed on, hot for battle, and ready to coop their enemies up In some pass where retreat would be entirely out of the question. Knowing the wild country full well, the leader of the Southern army was not to be caught so easily, and had prepared means of giving his enemies the slip. All that temained now was to give Sherman as much trouble us possible with regard to attacks upon his supply trains. While the Confederates were withdrawing from the region, there were of course numerous small engage- ments. In many Instances detachments of rival cavalry would come into close quarters. Flattie was seldom if ever refused, for on both sides they were flerre fighters, and their blood ran riotously at rieht of each other. Colonel John and his command saw much of this warfare. Their business was to defend the tailroad at a certain point. There were times when all seemed quiet along the line, and trains ran w b bout any trouble, bringing Immense amounts of supplies to Sherman at At-- int.. Tin n the enemy would become ceei'lngly active, and Colonel Ridge-waand his command would have their hands full endeavoring to ward off blows. There was much hard riding In those days. It could not be otherwise, when men were sent whirling down the valley at a minutes notice, to meet a column of Confederates deliberately engaged In tearing up the railroad. Louis Jones of the Grand opera house had the blues. His brother, a colored man, usually In good humor, had em, too. Neither knew Just why he had em, but they had em just the same. They talked of the weather, the times and a dozen other gloomy subjects. There was nothing sunny In the soul of a patron or a barber. Finally both sighed In concert and a silence fell over the shop yes, over a barber shop. The colored man was the first to speak. After several moments of silence he gave vent to another sigh and said: Well, as de old philosopah says: Ef yo aint got nothin, nows yo time. M Jones- - is still wondering who the philosopher was.

In all probability, if he cared for advancement, and lived a few months longer Colonel John would bear the Insignia of a general. He deserved It. His heart was wholly wrapped up In the cause and he was ready to undergo any privation, to undertake any dangerous mission if by so doing he could serve his country, and hasten It may be a blessed fortune for the happy day when the sword would Socrates that Xantippe didnt keep a be beaten Into the pruning hook, and to be published 2,000 years after diary beonce more on his descend peace her death. loved but distracted country.

Thus, when the enemy after enduring such hardships and heavy losses, began to see the fruition of their hopes near by, It was hard Indeed to learn that the column from Atlanta had pierced the mountains and was near at hand. This news caused another assault to be made. It was more desperate than any of those that had preceded It. The Confederates knew tlieir all was staked upon this last throw. If they could carry the fort they might meet Shermans column and defy it. Those who defended the place did not at first understand what It meant. They fought like brave men. but without much hope, since the passage of time had begun to make them de- spair. But even while they fought with the desperation of despair they saw distant signals against the sky. What did they mean? Was help near, or did this signify some new reinforcements for the enoutnumbering them emy, already many to one? And while they read who can paint the sudden transition from despair to delirious joy! This, then, was the beacon of the skies that sent the hot blood bounding through their veins and gave them new courage to fight on. Hold the fort I am coming man!

No one sighed now for excitement. They had all they wished. Indeed, every day brought new scenes, and they had to hold themselves In readiness to meet emergencies as fast as they arose. It was quite an enigma to decide In the morning where they would find themselves when the sun sank behind the mountains. In the midst of such danger Colonel John bore himself, as might have been expected, with his customary bravery. His men idolized him. He was so kind and gentle to the sick and wounded, and yet so stern and brave In face of anger, they could not help loving him. No man believed he would send his men where he dared not go himself. That was the secret of their adoration. To such a leader nothing is Impossible, as his men will follow though the fires and gates of Hades itself prevail against them. So the colonel roamed up and down the valleys, scattering the bands of Confederates that endeavored to disturb the connecting link between Sherman at Atlanta and his base of sup plies. So well did he do his work that these supplies came through very regularly, and Sherman was daily adding to the immense amount of stores that would be necessary before he could cut loose and march through Georgia to the sea.

The great mansion was dimly lighted by a single gas jet turned low in honor of the financial stringency. At that moment the sound of an electric motor was heard, and almost immediately afterwards the doorbell rang. Some one was at the door! Wasting no time in idle speculations as to who or whom it might be, the mistress of the house, Mrs. Cyrus X. Croesus, moved regally to the magnificent bronze doors and opened them. Mother! My child! Yes, mother. And Ive had such dreadful luck. I could raise only $12. Her frail shoulders shook convulsively out on the still and her sobs,-ran- g night air.

Brilliantly dressed queens of the social world came walking in gorgeous pageant down the street and swept into the great entresol. A butler opened the door, took their wraps, announced their names and then busied himself with the collation that was to be served early, so that the guests could catch the last car home. Mrs. Cyrus X. Croesus! Miss Patricia K. Croesus! The great assemblage turned eagerly as these names were announced. The whole United States, even as far west as Pittsburg, was' ringing with the name of the young woman who rumor said was to marry the Duke Manana por la Manana.

Glancing about her, she soon perceived a rare old chair in a secluded spot and sank wearily, though gracefully, into it. I wonder if he will come, she murmured. As though in answer the tall form of her lover strode out from behind a palm and clasped her In his arms. This being done, he then looked deep into her eyes and whispered with words vibrant with tense emotion: How much have ycu raised? How can I break the O, duke! news to you?

A clause is contained In it which states that the exposition will not ask, expect or accept any loan of funds from the United States government, nor will it ask, expect or accept from the government any appropriation other than the appropriation which the government may make for its participation. This policy on the part of the exposition management is meeting with the aproval of congressmen, public officials, the press and the people of the country. The bill that has been introduced in congress requests an appropriation of $1,175,000 and provides for the representation of the United States govn Alaska-Yu-kon-Pacif- ernment, the territory, and the fisheries industry, as follows: Exhibit Installation and Purpose Building maintenance Total Goveramt $200,000 $350,000 $ 550,000 300,000 Alaska 100,000 200.000 125,000 Hawaii 75,000 50,000 150,000 75,000 75,000 Philippines 50,000 Fisheries . . 50,000 ... ...

The exposition asks no loan from the congress, but seeks appropriation for national exhibits and exhibits of the western dependencies of the general government. The state of Wasnington and the city of Seattle have shown the Alaska-Yukon-Pacif- - characteristic western enterprise in large donations for the conduct of this exposition, in which other states ara lending generous assistance.
