Chapter XXXIII
THE SECOND DAY AT CHICKAMAUGA "Deck!" "Artie!" And the two brothers rushed into each other's arms, while Colonel Lyon stood by, his face full of joy over the return of his son. Artie had told the story of Deck's capture, and both he and the colonel had felt almost positive that they would not see the major again for a long while to come, and perhaps never again. "Yes, I've had a very fortunate escape," said Deck, as he shook his father's hand.
