Relief was afforded, but later it was stated by his physicians that poisons from the throat abscess had entered the kidneys, resulting in i serious complications. The official statement of the physi cians said that the immediate cause of the death was heart failure, the lungs having stopped their functions and smothered the action of the heart.

It was his boast when tho war was not yet two years old that he had picked off thirty-odd Yankees, some of whom were officers of high rank. No doubt ho had done it. Pete Martin, of Gen. Slocum's di vision, was his equal in skill and dar ing. He and Len had been intimate friends before the war, and tho dear est wish of each was a chance to draw bead on ead' other. They ma noeuvred for a long time to do so without success. One sultry after noon in the summer of 1803 while both were scouting a stretch of woods between tho lines they came face to face so suddenly that neither had an advantage. "Let's light fair!" called Len, in stantly recognizing his enemy. "All right: you do tho counting." "Mako ready!" Bach man brought his rifle to his shoulder and took deliberate aim at tho breast of the other. In a clear, even voice Len called: "One-two-three! " Tho weapons rang out at thc same instant. Then each lowered his gun and stared In amazement at each other. Neither had been grazed. "Good-bye!" called Len, with an oath of disgust, as he turned on his heel and walked away. "Tho santo to you," replied Pete, fully as chagrined as ho. Slnco both wero unerring rifle shots their mutual nausea was be yond description. They could not un derstand lt. After tho war they met at a re union of tho Blue and Gray. Re calling their former encounter, Lon said: / "I have never been able to figure lt out; have you?" "YOB," roplled Pele with a grin. "Our ftlm was true, but tho bullotf mot In midair and each smashed thc other." Ho was right. 1 ? m?
