BULL RUN Harry rose to his feet and shook St.Clair and Langdon.
"Up, boys!" he said.

"The enemy will soon be here.

I can see their bayonets glittering on the hills." The Invincibles sprang to their feet almost as one man, and soon all the troops of Evans were up and humming like bees.

Food and coffee were served to them hastily, but, before the last cup was thrown down, a heavy crash came from one of the hills beyond Bull Run, and a shell, screaming over their heads, burst beyond them.

It was quickly followed by another, and then the round shot and shells came in dozens from batteries which had been posted well in the night.
