Standing in the center of the “horseshoe,” the fortifica- tion of which his wisdom has cps struct- ed during the night, General Thomas, intent upon guiding the troops of his own corps, with no word from his c immander in chief, for a. time not knowing, or at least not admitting, that the army is by all the rules that govern science of war defeated, goes on fight- ing as if there is but one Army of the Cumberland, and that composed of the {10098 under his command.

The Confederates had made a crossing without using the bridge watched, and the division was a ‘ useless guard. On Sunday morning its ‘ commander, chafing at inaction, yet ‘rdreading the consequences that might ‘occur, the blame attending a disobedi- l ence of orders, determined to burn the L44“ “,1 march to the relief of com out firing a shot.

On Sunday morning its commander, chafing at inaction, yet dreading the consequences that might occur, the blame attending a disobedi- ence of orders, determined to burn the bridge and march to the relief of com rades whom he divined were being hard preSSsd. Gathering his principal officers in a: church near by, he an- nounced to them what he proposed to do. The little church, unused at that hour. of that holy day to anything more vigorous than a minister bounding a pulpit or the strains of “One Hundred,” rang with assenting acclamations of soldiers. “‘ “'â€" -l‘ "Anna: SOluwru.

First a. small body of Confederates cavalry, guarding a hospital, were met. These were easily scattered, and the column moved on. Striking the Chattanooga road, the division marched on down it. There was heights to the east, and on these were guns. in was plain to the gunners that the advanc- ing column was a rescuing column. They opened fire to delay it. The Union troops did not heed them. , 77‘. -_.“nw a CHAPTBB “V. l STORMING THE RIDGE, Mark Maynard was standing holding Madge by the bridle, surveying the bat- tlefield. He heard a gun fired from the crest of the ridge so important to both armies. He turned and saw the shell it sent whirl in a spiral, screeching above the heads of two officers. evidently of high rank, standing in a field near the center of the homeshoe. One of them, a large, massive man, he recognized as General Thomas. The other was the commander of the newly arrived divi- sion. As Maynard looked the latter rode away. He was going with orders to re- take the ridge. Maynard had not seen General Thom- as for months, Indeed he had met him but a few times since the days when he was the general’s favorite scout. Re- membering his disgrace, he was about to go away, not caring, in his altered con- dition, to meet the man for whom of all the army he felt the greatest rever- ence. But the general turned before he could do so and looked in his direc- It was too late to go away unobserv- ed, and Maynard felt a desire to discov- er if there were not something, after all, in this great soldier so great that he could afi'ord to give him a kind word. He walked toward the spot where the gene a1 stood. , _-_ .14.... 1mm mv man?’ ene v.1 auwu. “What are you doing here, my man?’ said the commander of all there was left of the Army of the Cumberland sternly, seeing the begrimed Maynard in private’s uniform and not. recogniz ing him. “Why are you not with your regiment " “I have no regiment, general.” “Your troop. than?” “I have no troop.
