SAVED BY DUST.
How a Handful of Soldiers Fooled
General Early.

How q Handful of Soldiers FOOle0
General Early.
"Did l ever tell you how clouds OF
dust once saved Washington city from
what many people believe would have
been certain capture at the hands OF
the Confederates?" asked a member Of
the old Veterans Reserve corps, which
was on duty at Fort Stevens during the
war.
at was when the Army of Northern
Virginia was just outside the Capital
City, You may remember that General
Early, who was in command of this
particular division of the Confederate
forces, in writing to refute statements
published in northern papers to the eff
feet that he could easily have marched
into Washington, said: I knew the de-
fenses were weak when l arrived, but
my troops were so exhausted from the
enforced march that halt was abso-
lutely necessary, and the next morning
l knew, by clouds of dust, that re-en-
fOrcements had arrived
"That dust, gentlemen, was raised by
few men, not exceeding 100, of the
veteran reserve corps. Lie tempOrd-
ry commander of this company, stout
man of medium height, whose name or
rank / did not learn, because he wore
no blouse or insignia, placed the men in
line in the rear of and between Fort
Stevens and Fort Slocum. After max
ing a short speech in which he urged
every man to do his best he directed
us to march down some distance on the
grass past Fort Stevens. Once there
he told us to break ranks and right
about, returning in the middle of the
road and kicking up all the dust we
possibly could.
We doubled on the line, marching
down on the grass and coming back in
the dusty road. 1t was dry season,
and we all had on broad soled shoes.
We made the dust fly, l tell you, and
it Is no wonder General Early thought
re-enforcements by the thousands had
come to the relief of the handful on
duty at the forts. "-Washington Star.
