cut few traces and started u stampede.
A Yankee captain sailing down the road
was ordered by Stringfellow to surren-
der. He threw up his hands, then, look
ing up and down the road and seeing no
other rebs in sight, he asked: ITO
whom am surrendering?"
ITO mel" cried Stringfellow.
See you in -- first!" was the reply.
Drawing pistol he began firing point
blank at the courier, who returned the
compliment. Both pistols were emp
tied. Then the two dismounted and
went at it hand to hand. Stringfellow
threw his antagonist and fell on top of
him, with his right arm free. The cap
tain's left played tattoo on his cheek
and the issue was in doubt, when one of
Stringfellow's wrecks came to the res
cue. AS he raised his foot to kick the
captain in the face Stringfellow caught
him by the ankle.
STAND back!" he Numbered. "You
have spoiled our game. If could have
captured him myself would take hin,
in, but he has given me too good fight
to surrender to two of us. Captain
you are brave man. You had better
get on your horse and ride like thunder,
for the woods are alive with rebs."
The captain was off like shot, with
out saying so much as "thank YOU
