A Stain Washed Away.
[Original ]
John dough sat srtoking his pipe be
fore a fire of blazing logs, while his
wife cleared the supper table. The
door opened, and a youngster of sev
enteen. clad In the army blue of
I SOI <">o, pale and emaciated, staggered
In. The woman llew to him. caught
him as he was about to fall and held
him tightly clasped In her arms. Tbe
man arose aud stood regarding the boy
with a look of mingled pain aud se
verity.
"Sick leave, Johnny?" he asked.
"No, father," faltered the young sol
dier. "1 couldn't get a sick leave. It
was a chance for life with me If 1
came and certain death with me if I
stayed there. The surgeon kuew it,
ami yet he wouldn't recommend me for
a furlough."
Without a word the father returned
to his seat Iwfore the lire. The moth
er supported her boy to an adjoining
room; be sauk upon a lied, and she
bent over him and kissed him again
aud again.
John (Tough still sat motionless and
in slleiice. He kuew that In leaving
the front without permission his boy
hail deserted and that desertion was
punishable with death. And this vision
the man saw in the flames:
A little child toddled toward him
with outstretched arms as he came
home. The same child was going to
his first school. His mother and fa
ther kissed him and followed him with
their eyes till he came to a bend In the
road, when be turned aud waved his
baud to them. Again as ft half growu
boy he was reading by that same fire
light "Robinson Crusoe" and "Swiss
Family Robinson.". Recently passing
from boyhood to youth, he had gone
for a soldier.
And now the father sees another
sight? his boy disgraced, kneeling be
side his coffln, about to be shot for de
sertion.
An h<?ur passed. The wife and inoth
ci lin ked into the room where John
I'longh sat and saw him still meek aud
motionless. Holier to liini. she bent
ivor him and whls|iered:
"lle'i! little more than a child. John."
"It's tin* lonsi'ipieiicvs of his act."
in- I I he father. "They take lads
or w i ' and place them where mature
oil laid It liard to stand."
: |.i her ban ! tils burning forehead,
"lines fattier blame itie':" he asked.
"No. boy, hot"
"Vi?s. U'l" And he fell back ou his
.ililow.
Wti vi" midnight came the woman
. okod in where she had left her bus
?and. lie hail gone.
The army had been fighting for ten
?ousecutlve days when one morning a
muu unite old enough to lie exempt
from military service reported at the
headquarters of the general command
lug uuder the name of John dough,
lie admitted that he had deserted from
a regiment that had since been trans
ferred to another field. He found the
general in a bail humor. There had
been uiauy cases of desertion. His pre
sented un opportunity for an example.
He was tried and sentenced to be shot.
At this time the Army of the Poto
mac descended from the heights on
the northern bank of the Rappahan
nock. laid their pontoons, crossed aud
commenced a march over a gently slop
lng plain to the height* a mile away,
?where the Confederates were ready
with their artillery to sweep them as
they advanced. Some got halfway, u
less number nearly reached the objec
tive point, while a few remnants of
regiments marched to tbe guns. Those

"WHo ib mat man asked tne gen
eral, watching a private soldier who
had rallied the remnant of u regiment
Hud turned Its face toward the enemy.
"He was to have been shot for de
sertion. The light coming on, he took
his place lu the ranks."
"He shall be a colonel," muttered the
general as he galloped to another part
of the field.
When u few years later Colonel
Clough returned to his home he found
h mound In the churchyard that cov
ered bis sou. Tbe father put a head
stone over it on which was this In
scription:
JOHN CLOUOH.
Died. ugt-J seventeen years and ten
months, of wounds received In battle.
A private soldier, he rallied a regiment.
John dough's commander one day
called to see Ills old subordinate. Colo
nel dough was not at home, but the
general was told that he visited the
churchyard every day and would be
found there. Thither the general
went' and saw his old comrade stand
ing over a grave. Approaching, uncov
ered, he stood behind the colouel cud
read the inscription. Surprised, he
looked at his comrade for an explana
tion. Colonel Clougb Rpoke:
"He who lies there was a boy. He
ran away and enlisted under the re
quired age. Too young to fi.lly weigh
the consequences, he committed an act
which soldiers in the face of an ene
my punish with death. I suffered the
sentence lu his stead. The penalty
was never Inflicted. Tbe act describ
ed on the stone above his grave I did
for him and lu his name. I could nev
er have done it except for my love for j
him, and tbe deed is mine to give him 1
In expiation of his fault."
The two veterans are now white I
bearded companions who often meet
and talk over the days when men were
marred or made heroes In a twinkling. |
The general never speaks to the polo- .
nel of his rallying a regiment at Fred
ericksburg except as "that heroic act
which should make your son's nanu
shine resplendent among brave deed
forever." F. A. M1TCHEL.
