"WHO COMES !
HERE?"
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1915, by the McClure
Newspaper Syndicate.
"Halt! Who comes here?"
"Friends, with the countersign."
"Advance one and give the counter
sign."
It was the rellef.golng the rounds to
change the pickets, and I was dropped
out at post No. 7. We had fought Lee
all day long on tho strangest battle
field of the whole war—In the Wilder
ness. From right to left flank, from
front to rear, we were hemmed In by
forest and thicket. There were swamps
In which lizards and serpents lurked,
thickets In which tho coy wblppoor
wlll built its nest, dense spots of for
est which seemed never to have echoed
the ring of the woodman's as.
Post No. 7 was under a large tree on
the edge of a thicket It was a lonely
place, well away from the camps, the
dead and the dying, but 1 was glad to f
be alone. I had been nearly an hour
on the post without anything happen
ing to alarm me, when I heard a per
son moving in the thicket across the
open strip.
Rustle, rustle! Step, step! It was
a cautious movement. Whoever it was
hoped to reach me without discovery,
but there were dead leaves underfoot,
and the thicket was dense. A hare
could not have moved without betray
ing its presence.
"Who comes here?"
There is silence for fifteen seconds,
and tlien a woman's voice answers:
"I can't And the place! It's so dark
I can't And the place!"
Aye. it was a woman's voice, and It
had a sob in it, too—n woman there In
the darkness between the hostile lines
with powder smoke still in the air,
with stray bullets darting through tho
thickets with a whiz as of some gre:it
insect stirred to anger.
"Who comes here?"
"I wish it wasn't so dark! I am so
tired!"
And then she comes across the open 1
strip toward me, making no stop, nev
er hesitating, walking straight up to
me, as if she could see as well by
night as la the sunshine of day. '
"I can't And the place!" she sobbed .
as she came to a stop within arm's
length.
"Good God, woman, what are you do
ing here?" 1 gasped, almost terrified at
her presence.
"See! See!" she replied, holding a !
bundle out toward me. "One time I I
saw a beautiful spot In the woods and j
said to myself that If he died 1 would
bury him there, but I can't flud It—I
can't And it!"
"What is It, woman? What have you
got there?"
"See! See! Don't be afraid. He's |
dead. He can't speak or move. T«ko
him!"
o mi- nrniQ nnrl
I cried out nnd let my musket fall.
It was the body of a baby about a year
and a half old. Dead? Yes—dead
from a cruel bullet which had pierced
Its little body and left n great wound,
which looked horrible to me in the dim
light; dead nnd cold and bathed in
its own blood—dead for hours! And
when I reached out and touched the
shawl or wrap worn by the mother my
Angers burned at the feel of blood!
| "Was It your baby? Did you live in
the cabin beyond the thicket?" I asked.
1 still holding the little corpse.
"lie was so happy!" she said as she
patted the little baro head with a
motherly hand "And I was so hap
py too! He won't ever laugh and
crow again, will he? I've got to find
that beautiful place and bury biin,
haven't I? And you'll help me? les;
I know you will, for you don't swear
and curse at me."
She had lost her mind. Think of it—
an Insane mother wandering over a
bloody battlefield with her dead child
In her arms! She had but one Idea—
to bury It in n dell which she had once
visited and remarked its beaut}-, a dell
in which Federal aud Confederate were
doubtless then burying their own dead.
I knew not what to do. I could not
leave my post, and 1 did not want her
to go wandering farther. 1 was trying
to soothe and qnlet the woman when
she suddenly cried out:
"Ah, It's not so dark now, and I can
find the placel I'll go on ahead and
dig the grave, and you follow on with
the baby. Poor baby! He won't know
that he Is buried, will he? 1 can find
the place, and you"—
"Come back! Come back!" I called
to her as she fled away iu the dark
ness, but she was 200 feet away as
she answered me:
"I'll find the place! Poor, poor
baby!"
And when the relief came 1 told the
story and pointed to the bundle rest
ing on the ground beside me.
"God pity her!" whispered the ser
geant as he lifted his cap.
"God pity her!" cchoed all the oth
ers as they stood uncovered around the
poor little corpse.
Time meant human lives that night
Grant was moving by the flank. I.eo
was moving by the flank to match
him. Tho morrow was to witness more
slaughter—make thousands of other
widows nnd orphans.
"Dig here!" said the sergeant, nnd
with our bayonets we scooped out a
shallow grave in scarcely more than a
minute's lime.
"Carefully now! I'oor little thing!
Now All in. That will do. God knows
where it lies! Fall In! Forward,
march!"
