A MAD EXPLOIT.

(Continued.) *««t the innocence of myself «md companion and solemnly deolare that we are not spie*. As a son of the Bouth 1 resignM from the service of the United States when hostilities began, and since I entered the service of the Confederacy I havo endeavored as a soldier and a gentleman to observe the rules govern- j ing civilized war. I acknowledge that the case is dark against us, und I have no fault to find With tho findings of the court convened m our case nor with the treatment received at ] the hands of your subordinates at this post. But I do implore you. to suspend the time of execution till I can have an interview with you or can collect myself sufficiently to give you fin exact statement of my peculiar case. X send this as a dying request. W. ohton Williams. Colonel Baird added to this: The men are condemned, and we are prepar ing for their execution. They prefer to be •hot. If you can answer before I get ready, do. J. P. Baird, : Colonel Commanding Post. While waiting for an answer tho colonel did not delay, the preparations that were to terminate this tragedy. He had been np all night, and he could not have looked more haggard or felt more miserable had he been ordered to execution himself. At 9:80 the rude soaffold on whioh both the men were to be hanged at the same time was oompleted. The sight of the grim affair and the noise of the | hammering were kept from the unfortu nate prisoners. A good breakfast was sent m to them, but they refused to eat. At Anton's re quest a bottle of whisky was brought him, and of this he and his companion drank freely without any visible effect. They were evidently hoping to brace themselves for the terrible ordeal. They knelt down and prayed with the olergyman, but by no other sign or word did they take part m the devotiona In the hope that the horrible work might be taken from his hands at the last moment Colonel Baird deferred i the execution till 10:80. Then, fearing a reprimand from headquarters for his tardiness, the men were ordered to exe cution. As was anticipated, they grew stron ger as the fatal moment arrived. They submitted without a murmur to being bound, and with heads erect and no sign of nervousness m their bearing they ascended the scaffold. The younger man never looked at the I rope and did not seem to see the crowd of bronzed, pitying faces about him. The clergyman prayed, but no other word was said on the scaffold. From the time of thoiv ascent till tho signa.} was given did not take three minutes. The last dispatch m this case summa rizes the story: No. 9. Franklin, June 0, 10:30 a. m. To General Garfleld, Chief of Staff: The men have been tried, found guilty and executed m compliance with your order. J. P. Baiiid, Colonel Commanding Post. THE END.

Handsome, but Tight. Society belles are not alone m their liking for personal adornment. Young soldiers, and brave ones at that, are sometimes as vain of their fine clothes as any schoolgirl. General Dv Barail, writing his "Souvenirs, " lingers with fond particularity over the splendid new uniform he put on when he bocame a lieutenant. "Five minutes after I re ceived my promotion, " he says, "the best tailor m Algiers was taking ray measure for my officer's uniform. " Then he goes into full details about the red spencer trimmed with black braid, the blue cap, the sash of red silk, < from which dangled acorns of gold, and especially the sky blue pantaloons. "It would be hard to imagine a uniform more coquet, " he deolares. This gorgeous rig he was to wear for the first time at a dinner given by the governor general m honor of the men newly promoted, and he could hardly wait for the time to come. When he came to put the garments on, however, he found himself literally m a strait. For three years he had been going about m loose Arabian costume. His new clothes were so dreadfully tight! He got into his jaoket only with the vig orous assistance of three of his compan ions, who had to unite all their forces m order to button the thing together. He entered the general's house with his arms standing out "like basket han dles," and all m all felt as awkward as any mortal well could. He neither ate nor drank. "It seemed tome, " he says, "that at the first mouthful of bread or the first swallow of water everything would burst. And when, as it hap? pened, the governor general looked m. my direotion, with his big round eyes, like coffee cups, I felt a foolish desire to hide myself under the table. Ah, for that evening, the fashion made me suf fer!"

He Got There at Last.

The foxy boy applied for a job. "Do you waufc a boy?" ho asked of the magnate of the office, standing be fore him cap m hand. "Nobody wants a boy," replied the magnate, eying him sharply. "Do you need a boy? n asked the ap plioant. nowise abashed. needs a boy, " oaine the dis couraging reply. The boy stuck his oap on the back of his head. "Well, say, mister," he inquired, "do you have to have a boy?" The magnate collapsed. "I'm sorry to say we do, " he sa.id.j "and I guess you're about what we Want' ''—Detroit Free Press.

What Was Laoking.

A good story is going the rounds con cerning a wealthy stockbroker who shall be nameless. At a very imposing lunch eon he gave recently he was dilating with much pride and little grammar on the delioaoiea he had provided, every thing, m season and out of season, be ing, he declared, at the disposal of his guests. "I notice you have no aspirates, " ob served one of them quietly. "No more I 'aye, " replied the stools broker, with crestfallen visago, "but if money cau got \m," he added, "I'll 'aye some of the best m the market next time vou'ro 'ere. "-^-London Globe.
