"Died in hospital after Antietam, sir." "David Moulton, Field's brigade." "Killed nearly a year ago, in the valley, sir." "William Fitzpatrick, Lane's brigade." "Taken prisoner at Antietam. Not yet exchanged, sir." "Herbert Jones, Pender's brigade." "Killed at South Mountain, sir." Harry felt a little shiver. The list of those who would never receive their letters was growing too long.

Our brigade being transferred to the right side of the road and drawn up in line of battle in the forest, it was not long before the renowned Stonewall brigade passed by us and charged upon the breastworks of the enemy.

But I think now there is nothing further I need ask you."
"I trust you will still think so when you have heard what I have to tell you," continued the author, a little wearily.

In the smoking-room, the door shut and privacy about them, Pender's attitude changed somewhat, and his manner became very grave.
But my studies and training have taken me far outside these orthodox trips, and I have made experiments that I could scarcely speak to you about in language that would be intelligible to you." He paused a moment to note the breathless interest of Pender's face and manner.
