Then the last misfortune overtook liest A shot from the Chickasaw or the Manhattan carried away her racked and battered smokestack. It broke short off just below the casemate, and the smoke poured . into the casemate, nearly suffocating the men; the temperature, over 100 degrees at best, rose to over 120.

She had been mobbed, rammed, hammered to pieces by the wooden ships. She bad been racked and shattered by the monitors. Captain Johnson, consulting with Admiral Buchanan, finally determined upon her surrender. With a heroism which was only matched by tlie way he had fought against overwhelming odds, until he was absolutely helpless for offense r defense, he fastened a white flag to n gun rammer and sprang out upon the deck or top of the casemate in the midst of that awful storm of shot and shell. One by one as the Uuion ships saw the black, smoke grimed, powder stained figure waving the white flag on the top of the ram they ceased their fire and drew off. The Ossipee, however, had too much way to stop. Though her engines were reversed and i her helm shifted, she struck the ram a slight blow after she had surrendered. The last effort of the Confederates was over. For one long hour the great Tennessee had heroically fought the whole mighty Union fleet ?and in* vain. And, this is the^ general order to the fleet which the splendid old admiral published the next morning: - - United States Flagship Hartford. Mobile Bav. Ati?r fi imi The admiral returns thanks to the oflloera nnd crews of the vessels of the fleet for their gallant conduct during the light of yesterday. It has never been his good fortune to see men do their duty with more courage and cheerfulness, for, although they knew that the cnomy- was prepared with all devilish mcann for our destruction, and though they witnessed'the almost Instantaneous annihilation of our gallant companions In the Tecumseh by & torpedo and the slaughter of their friends, messmates and gunmntes on our decks, still there were no evidences of hesitation In following their commander In chief through the line of torpedoes and obstructions, of which we knew nothing, except from the exaggerations of the enemy. who hnd given out that we should all l>e blown up as certainly as we attempted to enter. For this noble and Implicit confidence In their leader he heartily thanks them. D. O. FARRAOUT. Rear Admiral Commanding "W. Q. B. Squadron. CHAPTER XXXIX. WITIt ALL THE HONOtlS OK WAR. A*1 " S the Ilartford rounded to on the side of the surrendered BfaMwA; Ironclad, Admiral Fnrragut called for Lieutenant Qeyton fjf gO $J>onrd and receive tho BurrenA furr. "Sir," said Watson, to whom he bad given the order, "Lieutenant Peyton wns struck by a splinter from the Inst pfopt of the Tennessee, nnd the Rurgeqn fears be cannot Jlvp an hour." A few moments later a black, powder stained, dirty, Boiled, gory figure clambered up the side of the Hartford fyltli AUmlrnl Buchauan's.sword In bis hand. As hp gave it to Fnrrngut, with the statement that the admiral was too badly wounded to come aboard himself nnd present bis sword in person, he hesitated a moment and looked Imploringly at him. "What Is your name, youug sir?" asked the old man, struck by some look pf resemblance in the other's face, In his beasittg, |q pplte of ?>{s appearance. "Peyton, sir?WHHs Pcyto^, }let)tenant on the Tennessee, sir. My?brother ?he is on the Hartford, sir. Is?hewell?" "My poor l>oy," said the admiral kindly, taking blm by. the hand, "I am orry tp say"? "Sir-sir, Is he killed?" "Grievously wounded, Mr. Peyton; struck by a splinter from the last shot fired by your ship." "My .God!" cried Willis, staggering back. "And I fired that gun myself!" A look of painful commiseration spread over the admiral's rugged features. As Willis reeled back, throwing bis hands up to bis head as he realised his part In the awful tragedy, the old mau put out his bf??>d quickly and caught blm. "Brace up, my lad," he said. "You are not responsible. 'TIs only the fortune of war." i.? vre ?re your prisoners, sir, but"? "Go to blm at once, sir. Mr. Whiting, tfifce Mr. Peyton down below to see ills brother," On n cot In the cockpit, hi the dlQi recesses of the ship, his own stateroom having been crushed In and demolished by the collision between the Hartford and the Lackawanna, lay Boyd Peyton. He had been struck over, tli* head by a heavy timber ripped from its fastenings by the explosion of the shell and had sustained a frapture of the sknll and a severe con* cusslon of the brain, ne lay perfectly still and motionless and as >vhite as death save for the bloody bandage? across his forehead. Ills faint breathing alone told the watchers that be was alive. for that slow, feeble rise and fftfi of hie bflrP breast be looked as one already doad, . Willis was a soldier. lie had been trained to conceal nis emotions in tne b*ough school .of war. He had a man's ride In such concealment; jet, as he Apod tlierw, ft grimy, sooted, smoke lAlncd figure, with the soli #f fftp bflt"Oqkcllnglng to him, staring down at thq i iolfc face of bis brother, red crowned writV 9wu UlwL A <tes> sroao broke Iten A V\ rrom his lips. It had never been hit brother before, but somebody else's? there was a difference. The attendants, the surgeon's nmtes, drew back respectfully; the doctor from where he knelt by the cot looked up at him. "It's Peyton's brother," said Whiting briefly; "front the Tennessee, you know." "Will he live? Is there any chance?" asked Willis honrsely. The doctor stared up at him pityingly. An evasion (Verobled on his Hps. He checked It. "You arc a man, sir," he replied, shaking his head. "I'll be honest with you. There is only one chance in a thou unnu, a million. Thnt last shell did the business. 8trnnge! For he actually passed the fort three times In a hell of Arc; once and back Again In the Mctacomet's boat, and then up In the Oneldn, nn<l never got a scratch until that last shot." ? "I fired that shot!" burst from the lips of the man kneeling over his brother. "I was In command of the forward division of the Tennessee. Oh, doctor, for God's sake give mo some hope! Don't let me feel thnt I have killed ray own brother! Why, doctor," be went on Incoherently, forgetful that none knew of the circumstance t6 which he referred In his agitation, "when they nil turned against him on the porch because he would go north, I alone had a good word for hhn. I was only a boy, father forbade It, but I?I kissed him goodby?kissed him, and now I have killed hlm!" "The fortune of war, my lad," said Dr. Palmer, laying his hand on the young man's shoulder as the admiral had done. "D?n the fortune of war!" cried Willis hotly, scarcely knowing what he said. "I am sick of hearing it. It has been flung into the ears of people bereft until it has become a ghastly mockery. I want my brother!" "My lad," said a quiet voice behind him. Willis turned to faco the old admiral, Standing hat In hamd by the bedside of his drinar officer "Pp you realize," continued I'nrrflgut, "how nanny thousands of people pave stood beside one stricken, as wo aro standing, and liavo cried for a brother, a husband, a son, a fnther, as you ore doing?" "Yes, yes; they were not my brother, though." "But some one's brother," returned the admiral gravely. "Oh, friends, the misery this awful war lias brought upon tills In ml!" "Who Is responsible for It?" cried Willis fiercely. "Nay, lad," snld the old man calmly, "that Is n question Into which I cannot enter, not with you, at any rate. I know my own duty, 11s you know yours, and 1 try to do it as you do. Pity 'tis that only war can teach us that we are our pothers' keepers, Poor boy," he added, looking down af the unconscious Peyton, "Is there pp hope for him, Dr. Palmer?" "I see little?none, sir." "Foor boy," repented the old admiral, tears welling to his eyes, "to ??>v uj? svvr^nnig anq nnvp come to this! 'CJ renter love bath no man thnn thl",'" he quoted softly, " that a man lay down his life' "? "Admiral Farrogut, for Qod's sake, sir," burst out Willis suddenly, "let me tako him home! I am n prisoner, sir, but I will give you my word of honor?you must know something of the honor of the Peytons since you knew my brother"? "I know, and It will serve." "I will do nothing, sir, bear no arms, commit no overt act until I am exchanged, sir, If you will let roe take him home?home to Mobile, to my mother, to my sister 1" "And to Mary Annan," Interrupted the old roan softly. "What, you know her, sir?" "liny, be told we of her, poor girl!" "She Is not In Mobile." "Where, then?" "In Fort Morgan. She went down there last night, sir." "Great heavens, sir! For what?" "I think to see her little brother, who Is badly wounded." "Another!" said the admiral mournfully. "Poor girl, I hops npfblng fe?!? happened to her." "I pray not, sir; but who can tell? Won't you let me go, sir?" The admiral turned aside and walked forward a few feet. He leaned against the bulkhead and thought deeply for a moment. Some might consider It a stretch of authority. Well, he would do it. "Ypt) nifiy hpve him," he said at last. CONTINUED ON 0TH PAGR Lost Hair " My hair came out by the hand' ful, and the gray hair$ began to creep in.
