The merchant had a little
daughter, his only one, deli

IL years of age, who had often
shown her loyalty to the cause
and cheered the passing troops
by playing popular southern
airs on the piano. Among the
other goods taken from her
fathers store by the present
raiders was a bolt of calico, then
worth a dollar a yard in green
back money-and hard to get
at that-which had been care

Her eyes followed the calico
till she saw it thrown across the
soldiers saddle. The men were

the little girl could be heard

Just then a STRIPPING of cav
alryman, light in figure and as
beardless as a boy, rode up,
dressed as an officer. Attracted
by the distress of the little girl,
he inquired the cause of the
trouble, but she was too full of
sobs to tell him. Her union
neighbor across the street, a
brave, outspoken girl of 20
years, said to the officer: "That
little girl is crying because
some of your men have taken
her dress pattern, and that's a
nice way you rebels have OF
treating your friends"
The officer, commanding the
attention of the troops as they
sat in their saddles up and
down the street, ordered the
man having such goods in his
possession to present himself
to the front. A minutes pause,
