Her servant waked up iand she told her that she was going to see her hus and told her to lock the door alter her and to take care of -her child.

I:1 She asked them if fa battle had been fought They did not know. Mrs. Slocumb went through unsettled land and gloomy swamps. - I All at once she heard the booming of a cannon, the first time she ever heard bne. She stopped, again she heard it. She heard guns and mus kets. She knew they were fighting right then. She stooped and Vaid, "What a fool, my husband could not have been dead last night and the battle j now going on," but-she thought she would go on and see how it came out. And on she went When she got to Moore's Cree Bridge she saw about fifty yards fro there about twenty men lying on th grcuid. Under a tree she saw one ol them j wrapped m her husband's cloak.! She thought it was her hus band, and went tb him. He (asked her for some water. A little spring was close by. She gave him some and washed the blood from his face. He jold her that it was his leg that was killing him. She took his knife andcut his trowsers and stockings so she could get to his wound. She took some leaves and bound 1 otk- oil Hi llcaii.

Toward the end- ol -the w etk when a fresh paper had been added each day, he began to talk about how pe culiar it was thatjhe hat had giown more uncomfoftrbie each day, until he lek as though he d dn'r want to appear in it. . - Then he became alarmed and thought, he - had some disea.-e of die head. Then he confided to a lellow clerk that he was going to consult a physician that day. His lriend took the beaver in his hand tried it on his head. "That's a good fit. What'll you take for it." The answer came quickly, "Two dollars." "Here's your $2," and the clerk closed the transaction by paying-up and taking the beaver'.
