Flushed with the conviviality of the Blue and Gray fraternization, a Btranger dropped thumplngly into a chair at my table in the Montlccllo cafe. "Stlggins' my name, I'm c'mander of Wlnslow pout up state," he re sumed, engagingly, "last time 1 was down here to Norfolk I helped In the fust bridgln' of the chasm on record, that's why I come all the way to this." My polite look of In quiry opened the flood gates wide, and the story flowed rippllngly. "Well, sir; I enlisted 1 November, 64, gets my bounty and calls myself Jones. Then right off the cap'n of our comp'ny was pickin' on me all the time. I stood it patient till one day, while I was settin' under a tree on picket duty, he come by. Then I gets up easy an' give him a socker 011 the law. He didn't wake up for two hours." Mr. Stiggins paused to ring for an other high ball. The place was de serted except for a lanky fellow in a broad felt hat whom I noticed bending over tho hotel register an hour be fore, and who now seated himself at the adjoining table with his paper and cigar. ... ——— -* 1 — "Well, they Jugged me for six months, and that prison was where we bridged the chasm, like I said. It was an old stone warehouse mado over, an' chock full The rooml was In —'bout ten by twenty—held four Yankees an' six with a Guard at the door. 'Twa'n't long before we got real friendly, un' right off we begun layln' plans for escape. We all want ed to git out, an' that was what Car roty called our bond of union. Car roty—we called him that because he had flannel-shirt hair —was a real smart Johnny Reb from a South Caro lina regiment sent up with the other prisoners from Roanoke. He was a spy and he was crazy to git out; talk looney 'bout his wife an' kids. "Now, he'd smuggled In a little Sheffield knife, an' when he found that in the scuffle of gittlng mo in they'd left my Jack knife, he almost whooped. I give It to him an' he took it off In a corner. Then, settln' my blade against his blade, he pounded with a loose brick till he'd saw-edged hls'n. Next he saws on the Iron bar In the window. It took four days to git through, an* while he sawed he had us all round him slngin' to cover the squeakln,' the Rebs whoopln' Bonnie Blue Flag an* we four yellln' Red, White an' Blue. The day guard was a Dutchman, an' the noise give him such fits ho kep' as fur from the door as he dared an' plugged his ears. "Now, I was the strongest in the bunch by n whole lot, an' when Car roty gone clean through he says, 'Stlg gins'—he foun' Jones wa'n't my real name —'Stlglns, we need your biceps on that bar, an' only one man can git a holt to once. The next cloudy night, when the guard walks up the corridor, you bend the bar out, and as I'm the only death sentence here, I'll skip out first; then you pull It back KO'S you can hang a coat over It when he comes past again. Keep bracln' It till you let 'em all out.' You Bee, he cal'lated I'd git out last. Hout two o'clock I gits up pulet an' takln' good holt, bent the bar an' braced It with my foot till I could Jes' squeeze out aldgewlse. Then I drops onto tho flat roof of the nex' buildin' an' makes tracks/for Ports mouth. Nex' mornln' early I Jump on the tail of a train carryln' furlough nUn, an' In four days I was In Pitts burgh enlistin' again an' gettln' an other bounty. "Carroty? Oh. early nex' mornln' they foun' mo gone an' the bunted slut In the winder; BO they give Car roty time to wrlto home an' shot him." Up rose our neighbor, threw off his hat, and leahlng his hands on our ta ble. looked Stigglns in the eye. I no ticed then that his hair was bright red. But Stigglnß fell back with wild, bloodshot eyes. "Carroty," he whis pered hoarsely. "No, Carroty's son; stranger," turn ing to me, "for teri years I've attended encampments looking for this man, and I reckon I'll take no Interfer ence. If you don't get right up," this to tho shapeless huddle in the chair, "I'll do the trick right hyah." A steel barrel flashed from his pocket. "Bui I'd rather not mess up the floor If I can help it." "For God's snke, man," I begat aghast, but he swept me aside men aclngly. Then he collared hiß dazed prisoner and thrust him out Into th« midnight. (Copyright by Dally Story Pub. Co.)
