SIXTEEN as called the pretty blonde

well-shaped little feet. Now I had a
brand-new pair of army shoes in my
knapsack and fairly good pair on my
feet. asked her if she would wear
my new pair if / would make her a
present of them. She seemed little
loath to accept them at first, not be-
cause Of pride, but because she thought
it unfair to take them from soldier
who might soon stand in need of them
himself. But at last she did accept
them and was real we'll pleased to do
so. OF course they were mile too big
for her, but that didn't matter. Size
soon got used to them.
cit used to be her custom to watch
for foraging soldiers aud then send me
after them to drive them away. One
morning she said: oh! YanI. there
is forager out there. Don't YOU see
him? There he goes, under the trees
over there
Il started out after the intruder, but
I ran all over the part of the farm indi-

Just then 1 put my gun down on the
ground, as was my habit, bayonet

beautiful girl fast.

sister.

twinkle in her bright blue eyes, and
heard her sweet voice ringing in
laughter as she said:
Well, Yank, you did not hurt me
a bit. You know these shoes are
trife large for me, and your bayonet
just went through the upper and sole
without grazing my toes.
Il was rejoiced to hear her talk that
way, | assure you. I was taken away
from there in few days after that, #
having been found that her father was
not what he was suspected to be. But
Ioften thought about that family, es-
pecially of one member. in my mai ches
and il later years, but I never met
again with any member of it. Not
even with my pretty sweet sixteen
friend. for I was engaged in great
deal of active service in the army, and
when I was mustered out of it returned
to philadelphia and never went back

tions that he secured the ridge and
held it. AS he was junior in rank to
General Howard, he had no right tech
nically speaking, to supersede the lat
ter. Meade had assigned him to that
duty, it is true, but under the law only
the President himself could place q
junior general over a senior. Howard
did not recognize him as his superior,
and think that Hancock. as he rode
over to me, was in some doubt whether
l, as commander of the First Corps,
would acknowledge him as Howard's
superior. Had I refused to do so the
battle of Gettysburg, in all probable
lty, would have different termina-
ton. AS Hancock ranked me, how
ever, the question did not concern me
personally, and | saw plainly enough
that if refused to acknowledge the
delegated authority both the First
and Eleventh Corps would be sur
rounded and captured. had no de-
sire to sec the men of ny command

"The circumstances were these: In
august, 1868, when the Philadelphia
brigade was moving toward Mine Run,
Va, was detailed from my command,
the Seventy-frst Pennsylvania Volun-
teers, known as Bakers California
regiment, to watch q farmer who was
believed to be rebel spy.
"In order to throw him off his guard
and also to enable me to learn the
better whether he was spy or not,
was instructed to report at his house,
on the Mountain View farm in Eau
quier County, and state that I had
come there by command Of Col. w.
Penn Smith, in order to protect his
home from any struggling soldiers that
might trespass with view to foraging
on the premises.
Il was we'll received by the family,
who, living in that out-of- the-way
country, were quite timid and in con-
slant fear Of the passing troops. I
was housed there and fed at their ex-
pense, and soon I learned that the
hospitality of Virginia's first families
was oil that 1t was reported to be.
The two pretty girls, sisters, one
blonde and the other brunette, were
at first little shy of the wild Yankee
as they called me; but we soon became
friends, however, although they would
persist in telling me that the Confed-
crate cause was just and that the
Union troops were invaders, and all
that sort of thing.

various ways, and not more than half
the command had saddles They were
biting away at the Federal Generals
heels, hoping to bother him until a
force could get in his front, when he
came to creek which was bank-full
from the recent rains. AS soon as his
troopers were over the rear-guard pro-
ceeded to arrange for burning the
highway bridge. This was close to the
house of widow named Samson.
The family was composed only of the
the mother and daughter, q girl of
sixteen.
There was sharp fighting between
the Federal rear guard and Forests
advance, but instead of seeking the
shelter of the house the girl, Emma by
! name, was out where she could see all
that was going on. She was strong
sympathizer with those who wore the
gray, and when the Federals began
piling the rails on the bridge she real
lied how Forest would be balked by
its destruction. She ran, bare-headed,
to the spot and began pulling the rails
Off, and it was only when two men
seized her arms and led her away that
she desisted. The bridge was held by
the Federals until its destruction was
certain, and they then retired into the
town. When Forest came up he found
his further advance completely check
ed, and in his trouble he rode up to
the fence where mother and daughter
stood and asked them if there was no
ford. Emma remembered of crossing
half mile away, and at once offered
to guide the General to it. Shells and
bullets We're flying all about them as
they talked, but the girl climbed upon
the fence, sprang to the saddle behind
Forest, and away the pair rode for the
ford. It was found practicable, and
while he selected his best men and
horses for further pursuit the girl re-
turned home.
That crossing led to streight's cap
ture within couple of days, and he
was captured by trickery Forest got
body of men ahead of the Federals,
who displayed themselves from prom
inent points, and this with aggressive
fighting in the rear led streight to be-
lieve that he was being closed in upon
by large force. Forest sent in flag

claiming to have 1000 men, and, after
taking an hour to convince himself that
he was in trap, Streight surrendered
the whole command. When his men
came to stack arms they outnumbered
the Confederates eight to one. and had

trickery.
When thewar closed the Legislature
of Alabama voted the girl a large tract
of valuable mineral lands, and an offer
was made to send her to some educa-
tional institute. In the meantime she
had fallen in love with Texas ranger
named johnson, and she declined the
offer that she might marry him and re-
move to Texas, where she is at present
living.-Detroit Free Press.
