to the infantry. The long march had not
only wearied him and tired his legs, but
his feet were sore and imperfectly pro-
tected. and it was almost impossible for
him to travel and he could not keep up
with his command. As he was plodding
along as best he could Col. Thompson
came riding by on his horse. and noticing
thar Croft appeared TO be struggling, he
inquired what was the matter. Croft re-
Piled that he had lame foot and could
not keep up Col Thompson said that 1t

for him to travel any faster than he was
going on account of his lameness. and he
would have to take chances on being cap

riding a thoroughbred. glanced inquiringly
once or twice at the footman, and then
hastily jumping off his horse told the foot
sore infantryman to mount it. He de-
