HIS STYLE OF FIGHTING.
1t seemed to make little difference IN
Fate Arnold what might be the number
OF his enemies. He would ride up to an
encampment of the guerillas, who were
the especial objects of his hatred and
vengeance, mark the position of their
OIVouacS and watchdres, and then,

right and left, with an aim all the more

gerous hurt was received in a cause
which would have done honor to any
knight of old.
A KNIGHTLY DEED.
a poor women whose husband was
in our army was falsely reported to be
in possession of sum of money, and a
gang of the unutterable miscreants of
the border surprised her in her humble
cabin to rob her of her supposed treas

were playing by the hearth, and the
robbers threatened to murder them if

The appeal to her mother'a instinct
was strong enough, but she had nothing
to reveal: nor did she believe that The

She was mistaken-the tiends dashed
out the brains of the infants by knock
ing their heads one against the other,
and the heart-broken mother was a
maniac from that hour.
CONCLUSION.
Fate Arnold had been discharged
from the service, for the war was over"
but he Immediately called together a
dozen of his old comrades, about equal
in number to the gueTrillas, and started
forth. They fell into an ambuscade set
by their destined prey and suffered Sc

body; but, after he was fatally wounded,

party returned, bringing with them
their bleeding leader; but only one of

that close and desperate fight into the

"FATE ARNOLD u

scout Fate Arnold" of whose career
SO many anecdotes have already found
their way into the newspapers.
A native of Arkansas, brought up in
that utter recklessness of law and life
which in those days distinguished the
southwestern Alsatia, square built,
muscular, wiry man, OF a little over
medium height, dead shot and a cap
ital horseman, possessing the most des-
perate cournge, in fact utterly indiffer-
ent to personal peril, he became one of
the most efficient scouts of the federal
army.
There was some story of wrong and
outrage, some burning and plundering
of his humble home by the remorseless
guerrillas, with darker shade to it. of
which he never chose to say much,
which added the hot blood of revenge
to a nature needing very little stim1-
lation.
