A GRAY SLEEVE by STEPHEN CRANE

After a skirmish a Civil War cavalry Captain enters a house thinking it might be housing enemy and finds a scared young lady holding a gun behind her back.  The Captain, after investigating the house to find two other family occupants, finds himself drawn to the girl but struglles to find a way to tell her.

A young man heading for college in Boston decides to catch a nap in a cozy little glen not far from the stage stop. While sleeping soundly he is silently approached by three different entities- the first promises wealth, the second promises love, and the third robbery and possible death. A great lesson on how life (and sometimes tragedy) passes us by when we're not watching closely. New Twitter address- @1001podcast Follow Us!

Two close pals exchange letters, one having had to cancel his trip to a summer spot in New Hampshire with his friend due to a broken leg. In the letters the pal in New Hampshire begins to write of the presence of a beautiful young lady named Marjorie Daw, who is living there at "Tyhe Pines" in a house with her father. Our brone-legged friend, withering away in New York City, takes an instant interest in the young lady and begs for more letters and more story on her. Pt 2 coming soon-Dont miss it!
