Gen. Francis A. Walker. chatting with some
of his comrades in Washington. told a singular
story of his experience. He said that a minor
officer in his command. n man who had been a
dear friend. passed through battle after battle
without a single scratch. Tho man was in the
thick of every fight. Many time he stood
urging on his company. and. while his men
fell around him. no seemed to have charmed
life. Among the soldiers 1t was believed that
he was specially protected. but as battlc after
battle passed and he received not 30 much as
q skin wound the. officer became depressed.
He said to Gen. Walker. Just before the Will
never be wounded. When | am hit shall
pass away SO suddenly that shall not even
know that have been dropped.
Gen. Walker asked him why he felt SO. as
NO. no." the officer said. There will come
n battle by and by. and shall lie hit suunrcly
in the temple. You know what that means"
They went through the Wilderness. and tho
officer was in the thick Of the hight at Bloody
Angle and was not hurt. Hundreds of men fell
around him ut Spottsylvania. and he was not
scratched; He was in the first assault at Cold
liarbor when men were moved down. and he
rushed in at the second. tho very incarra-
tion Of fighting soldier. just as the men
were retreating he stopped for moment
and turned his head to look hack. and in an in
slant he dropped rs though he had been smit-
ten by a lightning bolt from the heavens.
When they found him they saw that a mimic
to the other and that he must have been con
scious for an instant. for the foreiingcr of his
right hand was in the wound as though he was
instinctively probing for the bullet.
