this half was only ablo to discover In
my schemes the sulphurous vnpors of

nnd the sotting up of n socialist state.
Nnturally the church stood nloof from

side. Hut. to my great astonishment
nnd delight, the other hnlf of the Islnnd
responded with burning enthusiasm. 'I
was amazed at the strength ot liberal
feeling which I had aroused. Whllo I
had been occupied with my books nnd
llvlnc much In foreign countries a
young generation of Mnnxmen had
been growing up under tho Inllucuco of

They couquered my reluctance at

Tho present seems to mo a sulllclent-

to those concerned lu It, disastrous

In overy way, unsatisfactory. Thero Is
good reason to think that tho conflict

early morning of April 0 across his
father, Governor nud General Wlso, In
bivouac with his brigade Tho father
was then nearly sixty years of age.
but tho sou found him lying on tho
ground asleep among his menT A typical
southern "lire enter" of the extremo
tvne. Henry A. Wlso was an out nnd
out secessionist nna uonreuernto.
Aroused by his son from his unensy
slumber, nlmost the first wish ho ex
pressed Wns to sco General Leo, nuu
h inquired Impetuously of his where
nboutsii Tho two started to go to uen-.
era) Leo's headquarters.
"Wo found General Leo on n rear
portico of tho house ho occupiq'd," says
Mr. Wise. "Ho hod washed his face
In n tin basin nnd stood drying his
beardiwlth a coarse towel as wo ap
proached. 'General Lee,' exchKmed my
father, 'my tfoor, brave men nro lying,

For moro than a week they have been,

""'Come In, general,' said General
Leo sool)ilngy. 'They, deservp some
thing to eat and shall huvo It. and
meanwhile you shnll sharo my break-
last.' He disarmed everything llkq de
fiance by his frankness.
"It wns but a few moments, how
ever, beforo my father launched forth
la a. fresh denunciation of tho conduct
ot General nushrod Johnson In the en
gagement of tho Cth. I am satisfied
that General Leo felt ns ho did, but;
assuming an air of mock severity, ho
.said, 'qeneral, are yo'u',awaro' that you
ore liable to court martial and execut
tlou,for,lnsubordlnatlon und disrespect
toward 'your commanding ofllcdr?
"My father looked at him with urtea
eyebrow nnd llnsblug eyes and ex
claimed: 'Shot! You cau't afford to

I say to you, sir, emphatically, that to

"This last expression seemed U
cause Oieueral I.eo great pain. With n
gesture of iVnionstrnnco unit cven of
Impatience, ho protested: 'Oh, general,
do not tallc so wildly. My burdens m u
heavy enough. Whnt would tllo coun

'Thero has been no country for n

"Jencral I.eo stood for somo tlmo nt
nn open window, 'looking out at tho
throng now surging upon the roads
nnd In tho Ileitis and made no re
sponse."
Mr. Adams then went on to say that
CJeneral H. P. Alexnnder corroborates
Mr. Wise's story. Alexander nt nbout
tho same time laid before General I.eo
n plan for mnlntnlnlng a guerrilla war
faro Indellnltely. Ia;o replied;
"No, General Alexander, that will
not do. You must remember wo nro a

fight as long nnd ns well ns wo knew

I remember lelng deeply Impressed
with Alexander's comment ns ho re
pented theso words of I,ee. They had
evidently burned themselves Into his
