You ride a week, and from daybrcak to

spreads out before you, stretching to the

Of these prairies is often compared to that
Of the sea, and the comparison is correct.
There is the same boundlcss sweep to the
eye, with rolling waves Of green from no.

play Of sunshine and shade on it's face -
the same solitude the same solemn and
silent grandeur. And the resemblance in
its features Of; life are not dissimilar. A
distant wagon is a sail, and wrecks strew
its strands as they do the oceans shores.

We went in and took dinner, and then
he gave us a dozen Of chickens and would
not take a cent of money, but gave us very
important piece of information, which was
that we would not get one mile before we
would have to change our route for Rich
mond, as General Forests men were all
around US. 1t gave us no little uncasiness,
but as we were bound to win L proposed
to Jim to take the old gentleman prisoner,
and if we were surprised to threaten his
life, and they would let us go free. So
Jim told him the result Of our conference
and his unasked advice, and we marched
him off, intending to release him at our
lines. 1t proved to be just as he predicted,
for we had not gone over half mile be-
fore We actually walked right into the lap
of General Forrest. We thought by tax
ing near cut across some timber we would
save a mile, but marched into General
Forests headquarters. We tried to re-.
treat, but my old friend, the prisoner, Just
simply covered my face with revolver,
and very politely told us that the loads
were drawn from our rifles, and to keep
perfectly cool until further orders. In the
meantime the General came up and saw at
a glance the whole case. He said to me
"Sergeant, take off those belts. What
do you think l ought to do with your i3

'and he will parole us, and l shall be

as nothing short of General Forests sig
nature would do it, which was true. At
that our old gentleman laughed heartily,
and said that 1 was talking to General
Forrest, and that he was his father. /
could have covered my head with dirt at
that information, but it seemed to please

no more. And we go--ed. 2--'
