midnight; an 1 '.hat faint li?ht on the

looking at ^ueh an illumination of t:.e
sky as would be caused by the camp
tires of an army.
-The missing brigade!" I shouted.
-Or a southern division!" Bader cried.
"Come on!"

of the city, where the j.ressure would
be reduced by stejedown transformers
from, say, alxjut 10,000 volts to about
2,.'00 volts in one or more stations, lo-
cated at convenient points. The dis-
tribution of the current would be ac-
complished by running underground
conductors from these main transform-
ing stations to transformer substa-
tions, where the potential would be
brought down to 250 volts for feeding
lamps, motors, etc., by the three-wire
system.

I remained near Kennedy, for I was
so young and gr«-en a soldier that I
supposed 1 had no chance to go.
"Hurry up! Parade as soon as j>os-

ing order—no blankets— fetch over-
mats and pouches," said Miller, turn-
ing; "and, in choosing your men, fa-

Tliat was. no doubt, the remark
which brought me in. I wits lanky,

"Many?" He slacked speed and we
listened.
"Only one!" cried Miller. "He's
coming fast."
The pursuer gained so rapidly tliat
we looked to our pistols again. Then
Absalom firny cried:
"It's only a horse!"
In a few moments the great gray
of fallen Corporal Crowfoot overtook
us, went ahead, and slacked speed by
the lieutenant.
"Good! He'll ik* fresh when the rest
go down!" shouted Miller. "I>-t the

increased my feeling of weakness.
Was I going to reel out of the saddle?
Had I lost so much blood as that?
Still I could hear liader riding on. I
turned to look at him. Already he was
scarcely visible. Soon he dropped out
of sisrht; but ^tiil I heard the laborious
pounding of his desj>erate horse.
My bay was gasping horribly. Ilovr

Stronc* objections would probably be
! raised against allowing wires to be put
i up in this manner, but it should t e re-
! membered that they would be en-
tirely out of sight from the «trecta, and
would save the constant and very" seri-
ous nuisance of digging up the latu-r
for making connectit ns to the individ-
ual houses. With overhead wires this ,
could be done with trifling ex pen v
; and trouble. All reasonable objections
to these conductors are really less
weighty than digg'ng up the streets a
single time to mako or repair a house j
connection for gas or electric lighting.
Th? substations would occupy only
a j art of the cellar in some building i
each block, and there would not be
sufficient noise or vibration from sta-
tionary or even rotary transformers to
be at all perceptible 'n the rest of
the building. The only precaution
necessary would be the locking up
of the transformers In a room accessi-
ble only to a regular attendant, who
could take care of ten or more sta-
tions. visiting each occasionally to ex-
amine the apparatus, and perhaps also
to regulate tiie voltage or t*> connect
in circuit more transformers during
the hours of heavy load. These hist
two operations could he js-rformed elec-
trically from a central station or auto-
matically by clockwork, if desired.—
