He stood staring stupidly at his dead mother and showed no fear of the people that came up to stroke and admire him. He seemed so absolutely docile that when Sandy and Lije came proudly down the hill to tell of their achievement, Sandy declared that the youngster should be kept and made a pet of.
The village was out of sight over the crest of the hill. However, thinking that some one must have seen me, I decided to await developments where I was. Very soon I heard a shrill, jubilant shout. A boy of eight or ten years was running along the ridge as fast as he could go.
Twice the enemy staggered; and one more blow only one more! promised the South a complete victory! When Longstreet attacked Round Top Hill, driving the enemy back to their inner line, victory seemed within our very grasp but we could not snatch it.

A murmuring of waters filled my ears, and on descending the hill I came upon a silvery trout stream, which winds its way down the valley, broad and shallow, now gently gliding over smooth gravel, now dashing over moss-grown stones and rock.
