OUR SHORT STORY
OUR SHORT STORY AN INDIANA CAMPAIGN PART I. When the able-bodied citizens of the village formed a company and marched away tc the war, Major Tom Boldirv assumed in a manner the burden of the village cares. Everybody ran to him when they felt obliged to discuss their affairs. The sorrows of the (town were dragged before him. His little l>?nch at the sunny side of Migglesville tavern became a sort of an open court where people came to speak resentfully of their grievances. He ac- cepted his position and struggled manfully under the load. It behoved him as a man who had seen the sky red over the quaint low cities of Mexioo and the compact northern bayonets gloaming on the narrow roods. One warm summer day the major sat asleep on his little bench. There was a lull in the tempest of discussion which usually enveloped him. His cane, by use of which he couM make the most tremendous and impressive gestures, reposed beside him- His hat lay upon the bemoh, and his old baJd head had swung fM forward until hi« nose actually touched the first buton of his waistcoaifc. sparrows wrangled desperately in the *oad, defying perspiration. Once a. team went ■angling and creaking past, raising a yellow bbur of dust before the soft tones of the field lid sky. In the long grass of the meadow teross the road the insects chirped and clacked »ternally. Suddenly a frowzy-headed boy appeared inj the roadway, hia bare feet pattering rapidly. He was extremely excited. He gave a shrill whoop as he discovered tlie alee pin- major and rushed towards him. He created a terrific panic among some chickens which 'had been scratching intently near the major's feet. Thsy cla- j moured in an insanity of fear, and rushed hither and tlhither seeking a way of escape, whereas in reality all ways lay plainly open to them. This tumult caused the major to arouse with a sudden little jump of amazement and appre- hension. He rubbed his eyes and gazed about him. Meanwhile some clever chicken had discovered a passage to safety and led the flock into the garden, where they squawked in sustained alarq. Panting from his run and choked with terror, the little boy stood before th* major, struggling with a tale that was ever upon the tip off hie tongue. "Major—now—major—" The old man, roused from a delicious slumber, glared impatiently at the little boy. "Come, come! What's th' matter with yeh?" he demanded. "Whas th' matter ? Don't stand there shaking. Speak up." "Lot's is th' matter," the little boy shouted, valiantly, with a courage born of the impor- tance of his tale. "My ma's chickens 'uz all etoie HQ'—r.ow—he's over in th' woodc." "Who is? Who is ovor in the woods? Go ahead." "Now—th' rebel ill!" i ""What?" roared the major. "Th' rebel," cried the little boy, with the last of his breath. The major pounced from his bench in tem- pestuous excitement. He seized the little boy by the collar and gave him a great jerk. "Where? Are yeh sure? Who saw 'im? How long ago? Where is he now ? Did you see 'im?" The little boy, frightened at the major's fury, began to s6b. After a moment he managed to stammer: "He—now—he's an the woods. I saw 'im. He looks uglier'n anythin' The roa<ior released' his hold upon the boy, and. pausing for a time, indulged in a glorious dream. Then he said: "By tihuiider! we'll ketch th' cuss. You wait here," he told the boy, "an' don't say a. word t' anybody. no yoo head" The boy, still weeping nodded', and the major hurriedly entered the inn. He took down from the pegs an awkward, smooth-bore rifle and a i e- fully examined the enormous percussion cap that was fitted over the nipiple. Mistrusting the cap, he removed it and re-placed it with a new one. He scrutinised the gun keenly, as if he could judge in this manner of the condition of the load. All his movements were deliberate and deadly. When he arrived upon the porch of the tavern he beheld the yard filled with people. Peter Witheby, sooty-faced and grinning, was in the van. He looked at the major. "We'll?" he said. # "Well?" returned the major, bridling. "Well, what's 'cho got?" said old refer. "'Got?' Got a rebel over in th' woods," roared the major. At this sentence the womec and boys, who had gathered eag-orly about him, gave vent to startled cries. The women had come from adjacent houses, but the little boys repre- sented tho entire village. They had miracu- lously heard the first whimper of rumour, and they performed wonders in getting to the spot. They clustered around the important figure of the major and gazed in eilent awo. Tfie women, however, burst forth. At the word "rebel," which represented to them all terrible things, they deluged the major with questions which were obviously unanswerable. He shook them off with violent Impatience. Meanwhile, Peter Witheby was trying to for' ? exafperating interrogations through the tumult to the major's ears. "What ? No Yes! How 'd I know?" the maddened veteran sr-arled as he ?! rubied with his friends. "No! Yes! Wk.it ? How in thunder d' I know?" Upon the steps of the tavern the landlady sa.t, weeping forlornly. At last the major burst through the crowd and want to the roadway. There, as they all streamed after him, he turned and faced them. "Now, look a' hers, I don't know any more abouttthjs than you do," he told them forcibly. "All that I know is that there's a rebel over in Smith's woodte, an' a.11 1 know is that I'm a-goin' after 'im." "But hoi' on a minuet," said old Peter. "How do yeh know he's a rebel?" "I know he is," cried, the major. "Don't yeh think I know wha't a rebel i¡;?" Then, wit-ha. gesture of disdain at the bah- bling crowd, he marched determinedly away, his rifle held in the hollow of his ami. At this heroic moment a new clamour arose, half admiration, half dismay. Old Peter hobbled after the major, continually repeating, "Hoi' on a minnet." The little boy who had givem the alarm was ?- _? the centre of a throng of lads who gazed with envy and awe, discovering in him a new quality. The women stared after the figure of the major and old Peter, his pursuer. Jerozel Bronson, a half-witted lad, who comprehpnded nothing save an occasional genial word, leaned against! the fence and grinned like a skull. The major and the pursuer passed out of view around the turn in the road, where the great maples laisily I phook at the dust that lay on their leaves. For a moment the little group of women lis-, tt'ned intently as if they expected to hear a I sudden shot and cries from the distance. They looked art each other, their lips a little ways apart. The trees sighed softly in the heat of the summer sun. The insects in the meadow continued their monotonous humming, and somewhere, a hen had been stricken with fear and was cackling loudly. Finally Mrs. Goodwin said: "Well, I'm goin' up to th' turn 'a th' road, anyhow." Mrs. Willets and Mrs. Joe Peterson, her par- ticular friend, cried out a't this temerity, but she said: "Well, I'm going,' anyhow." She called Bronson. "Come on, Jerozel. You're a man an' if he should chase us, why, you mus' pitoh inteh 'im. Hey?" Bronson always obeyed everybody. He grinned an assent and went with her down the road. A little boy attempted to follow them, bu't a shrill scream from his mother made him halt. The remaining women stood motionless, their eyes fixed upon Mrs. Goodwin and Jerozel. Then at last one gave a laugh of triumph at her conquest of caution and fear and cried: "Well, I'm goin' too." Another instantly paid: '"So am I." There began a general movement. Some of the little boys had already ven- tured « hundred feet away from the main body, and at this unanimous advance they spread out rvhead in little groups. Some recounted terrible stories of rebel fero- city. Their eyes were large with excitement. The whole thing with its possible dangers had for them a delicious element. Johnnie Peter- son, who could whip any boy present, explained what he would do in case the enemy should happen to pounce out at him. The familiar scene suddenly assumed a new aspect. The field of corn which met the road upon the left was no longer a mere field of corn. It was a darkly mystic place whose recesses could contain all manner of dangers. The long green leaves, waving in the breeze rustled from the passing of men. In the song of the insects there were new omens threats. There was a warming in the enamel blue of the sky, in the stretch of yellow road, in the very atanosphere. Above the tops of the corn loomed the distant foliage of Smith's woods, curtaining the silent action of a tragedy whose horrors they imagined. The women and toe little boys came to a halt, overwhelmed by tha impressivones6 of the landscape. They waited silently. Mrs. Groodwim sudlctenly said: "I'm goin' back." The others, who all wished to return, cried at once diedeLinMIy — "Well, go back, if yeh want to." A cricket at the roadside exploded suddenly ii. his shrill sor.g, and a woman who had been standing near I hriek-ed in startled terror. An electric movement went through the grcmp of women. They jumped and gave vent to sud- den scroams. With the fear still upon their agitated faces, they turned to berate the one who had shrieked. "My, what a goose you are. Sallie. Why, it took my breath away. Goodness eakes, don't holler like that again." (To be Continued.)
DYNAMITE IN WARFARE,
DYNAMITE IN WARFARE, GUN WHICH VOMITS DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. A Dalziel's telegram from New York on Thursday says -Lieutenant Emanuel Ramos, belonging to the United States Militia, has arrived here from Cuba.. where he went in charge of a dynamite cannon, built here and sent to the rebel leader, Maceo. Lieutenant Ramos gives the first explicit account of the action of the dynamite gun in battle. He says the gun, in the hands of a good gunner, does effective work at a distance of a mile, though tne best range is half a mile, but it has perfect certainty of aim at any distance. The explosion of the projectile destroys life within a radius of a hundred yards or more. The first battle after he landed in Cuba was between a Spanish force of two columns and an insurrectionary force of about the same strength. Both occupied a position on the hilltops, the intervening valley being about a quarter of a mile wide. The Spaniards were ereeting breastwork*, and the dynamite gun was trained on Iliem. j Ma.ceo fired the first shot personally, but th' aim was too low, and the proj«* ti-t struck ( the side of the hill, tearing a large hole in the earth, but injuring no one. The muzzle was raised, and a second shot was fired, which I landed in the midst of the Spaniards. It killed 30 of them, destroyed their breastworks, "ivnd shattered their two cannon. The Spaniard* fled. Another battle took place the follow- ing day at a place 21 miles distant, and in heavy rain, which lasted the entire day. The gun was fired five times in this engagement. He saw trees felled and bodies torn limb from limb, and when the Spaniards retreated, leav- ing their arms and ammunition, he went to the spots where the shots had struck, and found them entirely bare of all vegetation. Finally, the gun was used at the Battle of Guayabita, which lasted 39 hours. The Spaniards were 12,000 strong and the Cubans 5,000. The fighting was terrific. The Cubans were almost defeated when the dyna- mite gun arrived. It was taken from one part of the field to another. Only seven shots were fired, but ea.ch one was most effective. The projectiles killed over 150 of the Spaniards, and scattered the survivors, and ended the battle in the Cubans' favour. Much interest is felt m military circles regarding the gun. Lieutenant Ramos has been invited by the Army officials to give a detailed account of his experiences.
