Fea^r of the Night
(Copyright, 1905, by R. B. McClure.]
"Now, Tom," said the corporal of the
guard to the recruit just from camp In
the north, "you are going on picket In
the face of the enemy. The Confeder
ate picket will be only twenty rods
away. Some bushwhacker may try to
steal upon you, but there's not much
chance of It Don't get nervous and Are
your musket In the air or call out.
Don't shoot unless you sec a man and
unless that man is creeping up on you."
No man knows whether he is brave
until he has been tested. Sometimes
the test is not a fair one. It was not
fair to test Williams' bravery In this
way. In a quarrel by daylight with a
single man Into whose eyes ho could
have looked he would have fought hard
and had no fear in his heart.
There was plenty for Williams to
think of, and for a time he did not real
ize the lonesomeness of his position.
Then It came with a long drawu gust
which swept through the trees and left
a sort of wail In its wake. The wall
sounded like the sighs of a thousand
wounded men lying on a battlefield In
the darkness, and it struck a chord In
the heart of the man gripping his mus
ki't and peering about him. The bab
ble of the creek had had a cheery sound
at first. I'p home on the old farm thers
was a creek that babbled Just that
way. lie had gone down and bidden it
gooUby before coming away. After
that long gust of wind tho creek seem
ed to change its notes, however. It
scolded and complained. It fumed and
fretted. It seemed to tell a story of a
battle and of a thousand men crawling
down to drink of its waters and turn
them to crimson.
There was no walking to and fro.
The man on post must simply stand
there In the deep shadow under the
beech tree and peer and listen and
think and feel his nerves gradually bo
coming raw. At the end of three-quar
ters of an hour the recruit felt his
teeth clicking together. In scorn and
indignation he gave himself a blow
on the chin and forced his thoughts
back homeward.
"What's that!"
It was only coon or possum scam
pering over the dead leaves, but the
noise was near by and sounded so like
tlie footsteps of a man that the recruit
felt his heart freeze within him. By
and by the animal uttered a squeal and
nin away, and then ho knew what It
was, but he was all of a tremble and
the sweat stnrting out oft hands and
f< rehead. He sat down under his trem
b'ing legs and fought himself. A
thousand recruits have done that same
tiling, but ouly a few have conquered.
Let his nerves get the better of him
in the lonely darkness, and his will
must be of Iron to chase away his
fears. Imagination gets In Its work
after the first fright. Williams had no
thought of running away. lie could
not have done so had he wished. The
wind came again, telling of death and
wounds and lone graves never to bo
resurrected for all time. The coons and
possums rustled about, believing that
he was asleep or had stolen away, and
now and then a branch of a tree sawed
against another with mournful sound.
Something stumbled along on the op
posite bank of the creek. It was only
a sore backed horse which had been
turned adrift from one of the armies
as not worth the cost of the cartridge
to shoot him, and the animal was
browsing at the twigs and seeking to
got down the bank to the water. To
the recruit, crouching on his post, it
was a bushwhacker prowling about
and trying to locate him and drive a
knife to his heart. There were the fall
ing of dead limbs, the rustle of dead
leaves, the half moan, half sigh, high
up among the treetops. A year later
he would not have paid heed to one
of these things, or. If he had, he would
have reasoned them to a cause In a
flash.
"They are creeping up on me? they
are closing In? they mean to murder
me!" moaned the recruit as he hugged
the ground and threw the cape of his
overcoat over his head, as If that was
a protection against bullet or bayonet.
After that he had no will. A child
could have crept upon him and led him
away captive. He wept and prayed.
He groveled and moaned. A rabbit
crept close to see what manner of thing
that was on the ground, and, hearing
long drawn sobs, the timid animal
scurried away and wondered that it
reached Its burrow without pursuit.
The horse drank Its fill and lay down
with a groan. It had an Intuition that
some human being was near by, but !t
would avoid rather than seek the pres
ence of man and his inhuman ways.
As the minutes dragged along there
were more groanlngs from the sawing
limbs, more gusts with their tales of
war'and suffering, more scattering and
scurrying over the dead leaves. And a
man and a sdTdier lay huddled up on
the cold earth and listened and shiv
ered and wept and moaned. When the
two hours had dragged themselves
away the corporal came again with his
relief.
'?Williams! Williams!" he softly call
ed as he reached the post.
No answer.
"Williams, where the devil are you?
Has the greenhorn deserted his post?"
"He Is here, sir," replied one of tho
men as he bent over the huddle on the
earth. "He is here, sir, and I'll bt<
hanged if some bushwhacker hasn't got
In on him!"
When the body had been conveyed to
camp and the surgeon summoned he
Mid:
"Yes, he is dead, but not of any weap
on. Fear killed him. Corporal. If yon
did not instruct this man you killed
him as much as If you had fired a bul
let Into his heart!" 11. QUAD.
