The Fighting Black Charger.

The black stallion, with a courage that was
magnificent, would carry his rider far into the
enemy's lines, and while his rider was slashing
away with his saber right and left the stallion
would lash out with his heels at every oppOr-
tunity at the steed ridden by his opponent,
and rear and strike and bite as savagely at him
az if he were possessed Of the very devil His
owner was teaching him tricks all the time,
and finally, after considerable practice, he got
him so he would pursue another cavalryman,
and, catching him by his blouse at the back Of
the neck, pull him from his horse.
Along in the Winter Of 1864 Sheridan sent
Custer after Rosser, near Strasburg. and there
was in a short time the prettiest horse race up
the Valley that you ever saw. Clusters men
soon caught up with Rosser, and then they had
it hammer and tongs. The black stallion, as
usual. outran everything in the chase, and
singing out victim went for him with savage
fury. Then, swinging the reb clear out of his
saddle, carried him in his teeth several feet,
and held him until his rider got hold of his
prisoner by the seurf of the neck and sent him
to the rear.

Gibraltar is the steep rocky cliff, about
1000 feet high, which blocks the passage TO
the mountain. For half mile the route

Although it would not be wise to tie party
with rope when crossing the rocks, we were
able to use one, helping over one person at a
time.
Once in crossing an unusually difficult
place a pack, which had been set on the
rocks, Went whirling through space, down,
down the glacier, out of sight. When the
Gibraltar Ridge was nearly passed we were
confronted with a steep glacial hillside of
solid ice, which had to be climbed for 80
feet. This was accomplished with our party
tied with ropes, as our guide slowly cut the
steps with Ratchet The danger in climb
ing along the rocks is increased by the rocks

Standing on the summit we saw two large
craters, looking like immense bowls with a
common central rim. The larger one is
about three-quarters Of n miles across, and
both are filled with snow and ice surrounded
by a rim Of bare rocks, rising about 60 feet
above the center. The steam keeps these
rocks bare, and as we examined the Jets

Among the nameless heroes, none

of the Conemaugh, warning the
people ahead of the Johnstown

horse, faster and faster went the
rider, but the flood was swiftly

the packs at first seemed heavy as we toiled
on, first over long, steep snowfelds, then
lodges of rock, onward and upward through
out the afternoon. There was
no DANGER
in this days travel, and about 5 o'clock we
reached Camp Muir, between 10000 and
1900 feet, where we prepared 10 spend the
night
We made our beds on the loose rock and
sand beside the snowhelds, and rs we lay
wrapped in our blankets the most beautiful
cloud effects below us were visible. A sea Of
snowy and pearl-colored clouds hoated over
the lower hills, looking like great white waves
playing with each other on the ocean. The
sunset aiterglow shone on the mountain
peaks beyond, and a light resembling moon
light rested on Takoma. Under the clouds
nearly 5000 feet below us we could see our
campfrcs burning, and we waved a lighted
torch TO our friends, who answered with
three reports Of a gun.
