Indeed, were all busy days In the that fallowed ISC bnnle of Sblloh, tm.ing of Is- lind 10 nnd tbc Inter in inpntlon by Oenorii! Fope of Corlutli. In bcnrt of the little city of Jackson, Tnnn General Alton bad ea- tabllidii'i) his bcadqunrtera. At his desk here, l.ng after taps had sounded, his llgbU eUdcuce that when the men in the ranks tire nalri-p tineas; Is tliii heml of tlio officer In command. An orderly nolsclebily entered the room -ubero General Alton was at bis desk, silently be saluted and waited for some sign of recognition. He had to wall some minutes before Genera! Alton, without looking up from his letters, snld, "Well, me) Curtis presents his compliments la General Alton, begs to report matters of Importance and asks on 1m- medial" interview." The general laid down his pen.

"Show lilm In, orderly." As tin! colonel entered General Alton rose, nnd the two grave faced men looked nt each other. In 130SC (leys "matters of Importance" generally stood for disaster and necessity foi quick action. "Gen'Tnl Alton." tlio crisp voice of Colom I Curtis liegon, prisoner, spy, i leen nirested attempting to pass ic lines. In the search In his shoes weio found concealed complete iml thorough drawing of the fortifications of Corinth nnd bearing Information on supplies, i of men, etc." The Lrcnernl turned to tbc speaker a face of Interest. "That's bad, Colonel Curtis, very bad.

Tell mo something the personality bf the prisoner." "I dlil not see him until the papers bad on cllscoveicd and the evidence of his iiehig spy established. He Is mere I ny, noi more than twenty year-) old, 1 inn mm. He bus been a soldier-of 1 am onvinced--and good blood runs In his vi'lns 1 think him a native of thN section of Tennessee, His nc- cent liHllcatei that." "You ordered the search?" "No. Captain Lawton did." "Tin specifications and papers were found MI Ms shoes?" "Yes general, hidden between a false sole." i i nl Alton looked gravely straight In from of him Ho was thinking deeply Colonel Curtis was no sensationalist, anil he had suggested a serious cluirgi In this iuteniew. The xpcclllcntlons nnd detail of an important supply point within the possession of the Union forces, under careful gnurJ nnd strict martial law, were now In (he hands of this spy of the en- XjOOXEI AT BACH OTHER.

emy. J'be specifications and supply detail hint been surprise In their manner or making to this trained soldier. In bis long experience with men General Alton had never found that untrained bands did these things well. The pi Isoner was a mere boy with uo Jikclll" od experience or practice in thls-nork. "You base your opinion entirely, Colom I Curtis, on tho character of tbu drawings and tho personality of the prisoner?" "Yes, general.

I am personally convinced that tho work Is that of an expert Ith time nnd detail well In hand. This more boy has. I believe, neither the knowledge, time nor skill to do the work nnd conld not possibly have obtained some Information contained In the papers." Colonel Curtis wilted patiently until the B( ncral finished his work and put mips ana papers back Into the drawer. Be Irnned back In his chair with a thoughtful, grave face. It was events like these that made tho business of iwnr so grim and dreadful.

The tame thought doubtless was In lie mind or both men. The general oiust order court martial, which must pass death sentence on this hoy, who, after nil, was doing the hardest and most undeslred duty a soldier Is called upon to do. Gene i-nl Alton broke the silence. "I have decided, Colonel Curtis, to offer this pi soner his life on condition that he oals all that he knows about these pipers." Colonel Curtis rose, feeling the Interview as over. "We will make tbc hearing at 7:30 tomorrow morning.

If yon please, colonel, and I will Captain Lawton also ritesent. In the meantime detail a sped Hi guard for the prisoner and see that he has comfortable care. Good night." The footsteps died away down the Song, imply ball, and General Alton was lu-ain alone. It bad been a hard day, and be wns glad It was over. The gravity of this last complication made his fa.

unusually old and worn. For some -n ecks strange things of this kind bad come to light Now this most prove solution of what had never been understood. "Can It be," be thought wonderlngly, "that in all tie world there is a man so basi as to sell for money the Information soldier would die to Then he fell to thinking of the boy whose life lay In his hands and of all the iitrrn justice of war. Involuntarily bis bund rested on a letter with a uortarrn postmark. It had come to him tram 1'rlnceton that morning.

Before him pnised the eager, pleading words of his nan, urging. Imploring nil father to let him give op college and go to the front "The sokller blood," the letter ran "the blood of all the Altons, Is calling to me da; and night, making I mposslble. I do not desire to griere ou by giving up mjr work without you r. consent, but I am no longer of myself. Li me do what" my conscience urges me to do.

When peace is declared I will take up my profession If you desire It." Be mast consent, of course. Richard was a man now nnd most make a man's flgbt for the old flag. Perhaps some day In the fortunes of war his only goo. bli fine, brilliant Blcbard, would stand an tble boy stood today-under the. shadow death.

The prisoner, In his well guarded tent, bad spent one of those never to be forgotten nlgbb that most at us can remember socnewbero In life. There was little doubt of bis fate, and with a strange, awe-1 look on his young face, telling of the night's conflict, be waited for the bom of the Interview. He knew.nothing the offer to be made him and felt that It was only a preliminary of his death warrant. He longed, with a boyish longing, for his uniform to wear thl morning. In that gray end all It stood for he felt he could better face th" worst.

General Alton, Colonel Curtis and Captain Lnwton re talking earnestly when the ordcily announced the prisoner and his gui rd. "How young, pitifully young," was the thought that wns In their minds as the prisoner courtiously saluted and stood at attention. The excitement of the moment had br night bock a faint color in the cheeKs and taken the weariness from tho face. General Alton faced the hoy with keen scrutiny. "You understand, do you, that you are under the gravest charge In military law?" tho general began, his voice full of the stern command of the soldier.

"I do, General Alton," the boy replied quietly Tlio young officer, noting as the general's secretary, prepared to take his notes. Tho cxammition had commenced. "What is your name?" "Seton Dnbney, suh." "Where do you live?" "My homo is in Pnlftskl, snh." The general paused in the examination. There was something a trifle disconcerting In tho frank, boyish face strangely suggesting that other boy in northern town, lestless for the life which had brought this one to grief. When tho general spoke next bis voice had lost muh of the sternness and Impersonality.

When General Alton chose to take tbat tone it wns difficult to resist him always. "Mr. Dabney, mnv I ask, is your father's name Edwin Oabney, and was he first lieutenant In the old Sixteenth Virginia In thu Mexican war?" The prisoner looki surprised; then a smile of pleasure warmed his face. "Yes, suh; his name Is Edwin Dabney, and ho belonged to the old Sixteenth Virginia. It was the delight of my childhood to hear him tell those stories of army life.

When the trouble came botwojn the I begged with all my heart to go with my father In the Ninth Tennessee. I was only eighteen and the only son, and father wished me to continue niy studies at tho Vlr glnln Military institute nnd so be with mother while ho was away. At the end of a year he found it wns no vise.

He chose the luncheon hour as the most opportune time for making bis simple purchase He was in a good humor, and he smiled blandly when he went bustling into the and said: "I want a saw, pleasu "What kind of a saw?" asked the clerk. "Why," said the prospective purchaser, "I don't know; Just saw. Any kind will do. I presume." The clerk sighed. "If you only knew what you want to use It for, perhaps I could advise yon," he suggested.

"What I want to use it for?" echoed tbe man in the golf cap. "Why, I want to saw, of course--that is, my folks do." "Saw what?" askeA the clerk. "I don't know," admitted the nonplused shopper. The clerk led the way to the rear of the store. "I will show you a few of the different varieties of saws we have on hand," he said.

RAISED HIS WAGES. Way an Employer Got With a Faithleti Asaiitant. A story is told in Milwaukee concerning an elderly German who conducted a good sized manufacturing plant op tbe south side.

He had an engineer at bis factory who had been with him for fifteen years and the old gentleman had implicit confidence In him. It was with a profound shock that he discovered finally that the trusted engineer was "grafting" most shamefully. The proprietor thought It all over for a long while and then sent for the engineer. When that functionary arrived tbe following dialogue took place: "Ah, John! Good morning, John. How long hat yon been vorking by this place?" "Fifteen years." "Ach, so.

-And vot are your wages?" "Twenty-five dollars a week." "M-m-m Veil, after today It vill be $5 a veek more." The engineer thanked his employer profusely and withdrew. A week later tbe old gentleman sent for him again, and the name conversation ensued, ending with another a week raise. Tbe third Saturday he sent for the engineer again, and after the same questions and answers he raised bis salary another $5 a week. On the fourth Saturday the engineer was again summoned before tbe boss." "How long have you been vorking here, John?" asked the proprietor. "Fifteen rears," replied the engineer, who by this time had grown to expect the weekly question and salary raise as a regular thing.

I "And bow much vages are you get- 1 ting?" "Forty dollars a week." "Ach, so? Veil, yon are fired." "Fired!" exclaimed tbe engineer, almost fainting. "Why, you have been raising my salary $6 at a clip for the last three weeks." "Sure I have," roared the Teutonic boss, all his Indignation flaring out at once.

Countless are the stories told of the genlalty of Dr. Hans Blchter. Once while rehearsing a Mozart symphony In which tbe first violins had a number of delicate trills and turns to perform these were played too heavily for Blch- ter, who said: "Please, gentlemen, pianissimo! Queen Man, not suffragettes." Again when on one occasion Eichter was not thoroughly satisfied with the orchestral rendering of a scene from "Tristan uud Isolde" he stopped the rehearsal and asked for more dignity In the playing, adding that Isolde was tbe daughter of a ting, not of a cook. On another occasion while rehearsing Tschalkowsky's "Borneo and Juliet" music the violoncellos have a very passionate melody to play. Blcbter was by no means satisfied that the needful warmth of expression had been obtained.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen," said he, "you all play like married men, not like Tit-Bits. Girls' Names.

The Feats That a Tarpon Will Par- form Whan Hookad. If you have never seen a tarpon Imagine the Mediterranean sardine that you take from the box for lunch lengthened out to six or seven feet Give It two enormous staring black eyes, a supercilious lip of tbe most grotesque shape coming down and twisting un again, a month that can be thrown so wide open that thirty feet distant when the fish is In the air you caq see blue sky down Its throat aud out through tbe arcbed glUs. Give the fish a greenish back and a long spine at the dorsal, a powerful sardme- like tall and equip Its belly and sides with scales which look more like newly minted trade dollars than anything else, dollars often twice their natural size, Into which tbe purest molten silver has been dropped, scales that flash thousands of rays In every direction, scales that gleam, corruscate and In the full glare of the sun form so many sunbursts to dazzle the eye and confuse the excited angler. I have taken the "sabalo" under various circumstances and have seen It along the outer Florida reef and down by the Rio Grande, where It forms In gigantic schools and moves south In winter, and everywhere It is the same sensational equilibrist, tbe same air climber and sky scraper when hooked or snared. What tbe sensations of the tarpon are when hooked It would be difficult to say, but I fancy it Is frightened and leaps the direction away from the pain center, and no two leaps are alike.

It may go directly up Into the air, carrying a big wave with It, and lash the air, or It may go out of the water head first, rising like a ray of light ten or fifteen or more feet, then fall gracefully. Every possible position I have seen the frightened tarpon take, from standing on Its tall as upright as a soldier to exactly the opposite direction, and an old angler Informed me that he had seen a tarpon make a lateral leap of thirty feet-Charles F.

What It means to encounter a sandstorm In tbe desert of Sahara Is described by Mrs. Palmer Thomas: "Few things bring such a sense of utter powerlessness as a desert sandstorm, and I shall never forget my experience of one.

The whale had not been wounded herself, and her attack was very determined. A.t her first rash she passed under the Essex and carried away a great length of her false keel. Then, coming to the surface a considerable distance away, she appeared to take bearings and deliberately charged the vessel again, ramming her with such violence tbat she stove In the bows, while the ship rolled so heavily tbat the captain thought she must be dismantled.

The case Is memorable because the crew had to abandon the vessel, and one boat was never heard of again. A more singular Instance of a whale attacking a vessel occurred hi 1895. The singularity lies In the fact that In the case of the Handa IIe tbe attack was entirely unprovoked. This vessel, a brigantlne of 260 tons, was on her way to Sydney with a cargo of timber. On Aug.

24, about noon, a couple of sperm whales rose very close to tbe vessel and, while tbe crew watched them "sporting" across her bows, the pair suddenly slued around and came straight for her. One thought better of It and dived below the Handa Isle. The other struck ber fair and square on the beam, crushing In ber timbers. Having rammed the ship hi this resolute fashion It sheered off, terribly damaged about the head, and presently sank tall first Fortunately there were some packages of rawhides on board, and the crew able to keep the vessel with the pumps until a rough and ready collision mat hid been fashioned ont of these and drawn over the Uagacme.
