CHAPTER IV
SUPPKR AND SONG
The horses looked jealously at out
supper 1 was sorry for them, especially
for Old Put, whose great, intelligent
eyes sail in the purest English, “1, too
am hutMry, master But 1 could do
nothing 1 had no provender for horses,
and so 1 told bun to wait as best he
could until morning and 1 would find
something for him if 1 had to rob a pa
tr.ot farmer to do it He bowed his head
in resignation like the wise horse he
was, while the brown hack, not so well
bred tugged at his bridle rein and
thrashed about until 1 threatened him
with, a big stick
After the chicken the girl served th(
cold ham and drank from ilie canteen
again i did likewise. Moreover, 1 urged
her to wet her lips at the flask a second
time as a further precaution against cold
which she did literally and no more. 1
was liberal rather than literal, for 1 was
a soldier and knew its value 1 took m\
blanket from my saddle bow and urged
her to wrap it around herself, but ski
said “No;” that her heavy cloak wa-
sufficient, and she would not deprive mi
even if 1 was a misguided rebel 1 sail
that she spoke truly, as her cloak wat
ch' the most ample character, and so
having no further compunction, I wrap
ped the blanket around me, Indian style
and, sitting down on the dry leaves in
fi'out of the tire, leaned my head against
the log She sat on the log at the othe;
end, leaning her head against a dean
bough which was thrust straight up in
the air i had put the remains of the
provisions back ir. my saddlebags.
Triumphant, warm, well fed, my
cheerfulness, my satisfaction with my
self, increased. I stared into the bed oi
red coals and saw figures, pictures
there. Hear the center of the bed tin
coals had fallen into such shape that ;
could trace distinctly the epaulets of ;
'general, and I knew that those epaulet:
were for me. The coals crumbled inti
new shapes and built the house which
was to be mine when the war was vic
toriously over and I was ready to retin
to it with my honors. She, too, seemed
to be engaged in the same business, fo:
she was staring with half closed eye?
into the dreamy coals.
“Why are you a rebel?” she asked
“Is it from pure perverseness, for they
say all you Americans are so?”
“They* say many things about us ii
England that are not true,” I said
“and this is one of them. The English
themselves have often been rebels, and
their present royal family, ode of the
worst they have ever had, and they
have had the Stuarts, was placed on the
throne by a just rebellion. ”
“You must know, ” she replied, “that
in England the character of the sov
ereigu is nothing It is the sovereign
principle The worse the sovereign the
better the court likes ^im. ’’
We relapsed into silence and oui
study of the red coals. Old Put whin
nied gently, raised his head and looked
beyond the fire, as if he saw something
in the darkness impenetrable to ail but
horse eyes.
“I’d better see to that, ” I said. “Old
Put is not going to give a warning for
nothing. He has a character to lose.”
“A wildcat may be,” she suggested
“Perhaps, but I’ll see.”
I rose, still keeping my blanket wrap
ped around me, and ordered her to stay
where she was under pain of being
bound again She promised, and I be
‘ lieved that she would not stir from hei
position on the log The darkness and
the desolation were not inviting.
I walked out into the black bank ot
the night, but could neither see nor find
anything I made a complete circuit
around the oasis of light from the fire
and all was peaceful and quiet. I re
turned to the log. ready to scold Old
Put for giving a false alarm, but re
frained, reflecting that ho might be
nervous aud irritable owing to his lack
of food.
“What did you find?” asked the giri.
looking at me with bright eyes
“Nothing.'
“I thought you wouldn’t It was a
wildcat or maybe a harmless little
squirrel ”
“Aren’t you afraid of the wild am
rnals?’'
“Not with such a brave rebel as you
near me. ”
1 opened my eyes a little wider and
looked at her It was the first time that
she had complimented me even in that
half handed way, and 1 was surprised.
“I thought you did not allow me the
possession of any desirable quality what
soever, ” I said.
“You are improviug,” she replied
“.Perhaps it is due to my society 1 may
yet make you a loyal follower of King
George and save you from the hang
man ”
i had my doubts about tbs “loyalty, ‘
which is a term devised for the protec
tiou of sovereigns in their crimes, hut 1
said nothing just then She, too, said
nothing more. The heap of coals grew
and glowed in the depths with deep
crimsons aud scarlets, throwing out a
generous heat and wooing me to sleep
Despite my sense of caution and the ef
forts of niy will, my eyelids drooped
The castles in the coals became more
indistinct and wavered as if they were
made of red mist.
Old Put whinnied again and raised
his head high in the air like one who
listens. 1 was wide awake in an instant
and on my feet again.
“Put,” I said, “if 1 find that yon
have given a false alarm a second time
you shall have nothing to eat in the
morning. ”
“I wouldn’t bother abput it,'*’ said
the girl. “It’s only a squirrel or a rab
bit Any horse would notice the passing
of such an animal. Their senses are
keener than ours. ’ ’
She was growing very considerate of
me!
But 1 searched the wood again, and
v.ua t»vvi[. * itu uiiti, liiit; a \via6 man
ceased to straggle further
Singularly enough, oue of my early
thoughts m that moment was of relief
That Old Put should prove not to be a
false prophet, having enjoyed such a
good character m that respect so long
finding nothing returned to my old and j I had been a fool not to take his warning
comfortable place Old Put was restless
aud shuttled about, but, angry at his
idle alarms, 1 commanded him roughly
to keep quiet, and he obeyed.
The girl was humming softly to her
self as if she were thinking of her far
away English home. 1 supposed she was
lonely aud homesick, and again some
pity for her crept into my heart
“Are you singing of your sweet
heart?” 1 asked, meaning to cheer her
up
“I have none, “ she replied.
“Not now perhaps, but you will have
some day
“That is a different matter.”
‘What kiud of a sweetheart would
you chooser”
“A soldier, a gallant English soldier
one loyal to his king through all. ”
She continued to hum her little song,
whatever it was. Something stirred in
the wood, and Old Put, despite my pre
vious command, whinnied and stamped
his feet.
“Confound that beast, whatever it
may he I” I said. “It must be a wildcat
attracted by the light of our fire. ”
“Let the wildcat go,” she said
‘Listen and 1 will sing you a soug that
will tell you what my future betrothed
and husband shall be. It’s au old Scotcli
song of devotion aud loyalty, but we
Euglish sing it, too, and like it as well
as the Scotch. ‘ Dumbarton’s Drums’ we
call it. ”
“Sing, “ i said.
Then she sang:
‘Dumbarton's drums beat bonnle O,
When they mind me of my dear Johnnie O
How happy am 1
When my soldier is by.
While he kisses and blesses hi3 Annie CM
Tis a soldier alone can delight me O,
For his graceful looks do invite me O.
While guarded in his arms
I’ll fear no war’s alarms.
Neither danger nor death shall e’er fright

“Then I’ll be the captain’s lady O!

Dumbarton’s drums sound bonnie Ol
They are sprightly like my dear Johnnie O
How happy shall I be
When on my soldier's knee,
And he kisses and blesses his Annie Ol'
Her voice was deep and true, s:nd the’
old w&r ballad was music i:i my ears
As the melody rose and fell iu the lone
ly night my eyes drooped again and mj
brain became dim with advancing slum
bers like a child soothed to sleep by the
song of his mother. I was as tired as a
dog. I had ridden long aud far and had
worked much, and every uerve and
muscle in me cried aloud for rest, but 1
roused myself as she finished and the
last note of her song died in the dark
uess.
“That is a proper military song,” 1
said, “and nobly sung, but 1 object to
the sentiments of your hero. He minds
no other thing but the ladies or the
king. The ladies are ail right, but no
king! Leave the king out!”
Old Put was stamping his feet again
“That’s right, Put,” I said. “Ap
plaud the scug, for it was well sung,
though you and I, who are good Ameri
cans, don’t altogether like tbo senti
ments * Thar, I take it, is an old soug
of loyalty to the Stuarts. It is a singular
thing to me how wholesome minded
Euglish people can invest the Stuarts,
whom they kicked out of their country,
with so much romance aud charm when
all history shows they were an utterly
debased lot, aud nobody knows it better
than the English themselves.”
“The sentiments of the song, king
aud all, are perfectly correct, and I’ll
sing that verse to you again. ”
She looked at me with a look half of
defiance, half a smile, and sang:
‘My love is a handsome laddie O,
Genteel, bat ne’er foppish nur pitndy O
Though commissions are dear,
Yet I’ll buy him one this year.
For he'll serve no longer a cadie O

Sho s&ng it still more softly and gen
tly than before, and, though my eyelids
drooped again, 1 turned my eyes from
the bed of coals to her face The fire
light played ruddily over her eyes aud
cheeks, and the expression there seerqed
tender and faraway, as if her thoughts
had gone from this dark night and the
war torn fields of South Carolina to the
green English meadows and peaceful
sunshine.
When she finished, I raised my hands
and clapped them together.
“Well done!” I said. “Well done!’
“Done well enough for us,” said
some one, and strong - hands reached
over the log and grasped me by the
wrists My languor and my sleepiness
were gone iu an instant, and I made a
powerful effort to wrench myself loose,
but I had been taken too suddenly
Three or four men flung themselves
upon me, and 1 was crushed uuder a
great weight, while the firm grip was
still ou my wrists 1 managed to deal
somebody a heavy kick and heard a
grunt of. pain, hut in a few seconds I
more seriously Theu I woudered why
the girl did uot cry out at the sight of
struggling men and the sound of oaths
and blows, a violent medley usually
very terrifying to women 1 caught oue
glimpse of her, and she was sitting on
the leg, her back against the up thrust-
bough, leaning upon it as lazily as if
she were in a rocking chair in a parlor
The firelight still played over her face
and eyes, but the soft anti tender ex
pressiou which had pleased me was
gone Instead the look that she turned
upon me was a mixture of dislike,
malice and triumph
After meeting such a glance it was a
relief to me to look another way aud
see who had captured me

IT IS NOW UP TO PRESIDENT,
Captured Spanish Steamship Declared
a Prize of War.
Savannah, Jan. 29.—Unless the pres
ident of the United States sees fit to
overrule the findings of every court and
official that has investigated the case,
those who have claims against the
steamship Adula, captured during the
Spanish-American war while trying to
run the Cuban blockade and brought to
Savannah as a war prize, will get their
money. The case is now up to the chief
executive for final review.
The attorney general of the United
States has reoently submitted an opin
ion to the president that the Adula is
clearly a war prize, despite the fact that
her owners claim otherwise, and the pa
pers are now before the president for re
view. Information to this effect has
been received here by attorneys for
some of the claimants.
A MAN STEALER IS DROWNED
Selling Sailors a Profitable liusiuess
In Savannah.
Savannah, Jan. 2S.—Joseph Bartlett
was drowned night before last while
seeking to steal a sailor from an Italian
barkeutine now in port. Bartlett and a
companion were endeavoring to get the
man from the vessel in order that they
might sell him to another. They had
run their boat alongside and bad secured
the man’s kit, which he let down to
them. Another of the crew discovered
the effort aud heaved some heavy object
overboard. This struck the “runners’ ”
small boat aud stove it in. Bartlett
sank, but his compauiou swam ashore.
The business iu which the two meu
were engtyjed is said to be profitable,
aud there is not a little of it done or at
tempted. The or !inary price of a sailor
secured by this species of “shanghaiing”
is §20.

Two Pounds.
Atlanta, Jan. 22.—Atlanta has the
smallest baby in the world. It will be
three weeks old at 12:05 Wednesday
morning and weighs only a little over 2
pounds. The baby is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. James McGlone, who live at 71
West Mitchell street. The baby was
born Wednesday morning, Jan. 2, and
at the time of its birth could easily have
been put iuto a quart cup. Siuce then
the child has been growing rapidly, and
when two weeks old only weighed a
fraction over 2 pounds. The r lother es
timated that the boy must have almost
doubled in weight since its birth, maic-
iug it weigh in the neighbor uood. of 1
pound wheu born.
The child is about 11 inches tall. The
waist measures only a fraction over 6
inches. The arm is but little larger
than the finger of its father, aud its fin
gers are smaller than a lead pencil. The
child is periectly formed in every way.
It has hair over 2 inches long aud as
fine aud soft as the finest silk.
Since the baby was born he has not
had a moment’s sickness and seems to
be in exceptionally good health. It has
not cried but very little aud spends
nu st of the time asleep.
Mr. McGioue and his wife are both
from Cincinnati, where they were mar
ried about eight years ago.
Baby is the fourth child of Mr. aud
Mrs. McGioue, all the rest being gilds
and of normal size.

Atlanta, Jan. 26. —Thirty or 40 drug
gists of this city have been summoned

Atlanta, Jan. 29.—Previons to the
appointment of V. E. McBee as vice
