As the story goes, the great com- mander utilized his engineering knowledge to the utmost and per- sonally inspected every inch of ground where it was practicable, with a view of selecting places where the river could be crossed without suffer- ing too severely from the enemy’s fire. In the meantime the opposing armies, being divided only by a nar- row river, tound means to commun- icate and carry on their usual ex- change of newsppers, tobacco, cof- tee, etc. In one of these trading bouts a captain in « Missourn com- pany on the union side discovered that his brother, wno was a confed- erate colonel, was located with his regiment on the opposite of the river. Finding an obliging contederate he sent a verbal message to bis brother, and during the day received a reply. The next day notes in cipher passed between the two. It was midnight and all was quiet along the Chattahoochee. The plac- id waters mirrored long ranges of hills and groups of giant torest oaks. The moon rode high in the heavens and cast a mellow radiance over the scene. Nothing broke the stillness, except an occasional shot between a few pickets, who could not see each other, and for that reason blazed away with murderous recklessness. From one of the union camps two dark figures quietly and hastily made their way to the woods skirting a high bluff. One of the men was the Missouri captain. The other was General Sherman, attiredin a shabby uniform which gave no indication of his rank. “This is the place,” whispered the Missourian, pausing in a thicket on the edge ot the river, ‘*My man is concealed oyer there with a skiff. You see what a dark shadow the trees cast on the water. The tellow will be able to get across without being seen.”’ “TI doubt the wisdom of my com. ing,’’ said the general, ‘‘but I guess itis all mght. Give the signal,”’ The captain whistled a tew sec- onds in imitation of a mocking-bird, and then stopped to listea. “He is coming,”’ he said to his companion, ‘‘take a seat on this log and wait quietly.”’ **See here,’’ said Sherman, with a peculiar thick and slow articulation, ‘what kind of whisky was that you 4 | Zave me on the way out here?’’ ‘*First-class,’’ said the other, as he tapped the flask in his vest pocket. “Then—then—why didn’t you drink ?’’ “Me? Oh, I did,” said the cap- tain. “I didn’t see you,’’ Sherman whis- pered with difficulty, ‘‘or I’ve tor- gotten. I am so drowsy. Tke devil! I believe I’m going to die, or I’ve been drugged !’” He rose to his feet and attemptea to advance toward the captain, but sank back on the log and leaned his head against a tree. In a moment he was breathing heavily, and was utterly unconscious of his surround- ings. With a triumphant smile on his face the captain darted down a narrow winding path to the water’s edge. A skiff had just landed with two men init. One left the boat. It was the captain’s confederate brother, the colonel. Without say- ing a word the former led the latter by the hana up to a thicket where General Sherman lay in a helpless stupor. With a tremor of excitement the traitorous Missourian pointed to the sleeping man and said to his brother: “That man is General Sherman. I have drugged him heavily. He can not wake. There 1s no danger whatever. All we have to do is to load him in the skiff and take him over. I deliver him into your hands. The confederate colonel bent tor- ward and looked into the face of the sleeper. Then he turned upon his brother hke an enraged lion. *““You infernal scoundrel! soulless traitor!” | his teeth, “Great God! what do you mean ?”” said the astonished captain. ‘I mean,”’ replied the confederate, “that I will be no party inthis act of You he hissed between I believed you to be honest in your devotion to what I considered a bad cause. I respected your motives. But I find that my brother is a base, sor- did traitor. You have disgraced your uniform. You have disgraced both of us by this unheard ot infamy. ‘But brother—”’ “Silence, sir! You tricked me in- to coming here by pretending to have news from home to communicate. You brought me here to implicate me in a crime that a barbarian would be ashamed of. Were you not my brother I would kill you on the spot. The traitor cowered under these lion-like eyes. “*What shall I do?” he groaned, **Do this,” said the contederate. “*Aftter I leave walk your comman- der back in the direction ot your camp. Walk until you reyiye him. Tell him that you were similarly af- fected by the drugged liquor, but in a lesser degree. Will he believe you, do you think ?’” “Yes,’’ replied the other gloomily, “the trusts me. He will believe me. I suppose I must, as you say so, but we are missing a chance to make our fortunes and to save the cause you love.”* ‘‘None of that!’’ retorted the col- onel fiercely. ‘*I cannot aid a broth. er of mine in an act that would make our whole family infamous for all time to come. Follow my advice, and [ pray God that you may soon meet an honorable death. Living, I hope never to look upon your face again.”’ He turned and sped rapidly down to the river, where he leaped into the skiff. An hour Jater General Sherman straightened himself up, as he walk- ed arm in arm with the captain. *‘Confounded strange,’” he mut- tered. ‘‘Drugged, wasn’t I?” **Yes, general, so was I, but I got Over it sooner.’’ “Did your spy come!”’ “I-think not, general. When I tound my drowsy fit coming on I was so alarmed that I left, bringing you with me,”’ “Can we find out who drugged that liquor ?’” “Ill try general, but the party doubtless covered up his tracks. It may be best to say nothing about it.”” “By George! I think so too,’ said Sherman. ‘*We’ll keep it to ourselves. The matter might be mis- ‘represented.”” The Missouri captain who wore the blue fell before Atlanta in the battle of July 22 and his brother in gray; saw to his decent burial, but never shed a tear. —Atlanta Consti- tution.
