Fortunately for Jackson, the recent
campaigns up and down the valley had
faded both blue and gray uniforms "
Into a nondescript drab. As Jackson
sat on bis horse and watched the busy
scene he formed bis plan swiftly. He
could not go back^ He must cross that
brldfte. That was his only chance. It ■
was the frowning field gun that he
feared. He must put it out of commis
sion long euougb to get beyond its
range. Throwing up his band to at
tract attention, be shouted to the of
ficer in command of the gun:
"What are you doing with that gun
up there? 1 didn't order it" there, and ,
I don't want It there!" There were au
thdHty and petulance iu his voice as ,
he added. "Limber op and run It over
on that knob over »*Bre!"
The officer at the gun. thinking that
be had to deal with some superior of
ficer recently arrived, hastened to obey 1
without question, explaining in self de- !
fen si? that he had understood his orders i
otherwise. i
Sitting on Little Sorrel while the
Federal troops worked busily about |
blm. Jackson calmly waited until the ,
gun was lumbering o(T to its new po- ,
sition. Then he rode quietly across '
the bridge' and up the other bank un- (
til he was well out of musket rangrif
Then he turned, waved his hand to the ,
astonished Federals, and. putting spurs |
to his horse,,galloped away from the
rain of bullets that pattered harmlessly (
iu the rear.
Had he been captured the Confeder
ate victory at Port Republic which he
won a few hours later would not have |
happened. The able and energetic |
Shields would have defeated his .
troops, stunned by his loss.—Youth's |

I'robably In Constantinople. which ]
hits been described as the "city of hoy- <

tween the public and private buildings
than in any other city lu the world. ]
The streets are uarrow. tortuous and
dirty, nud even the better class of pri- (
vate houses are mean In comparison |
with those of a simitar class in other |
countries. On the other band, the i
mosques and palaces are magnificent in
size, design and materials of construc
tion. most of them being of marble,
white or gray. The seraglio is one ol
the finest buildings In Europe.

lie common prey of the sea birds and

bark. Its enemies uhoiiud in air and
