A DARING LITTLE "coNFED."
low a Merry 1O-Year-Old Boy Out
witted Union Soldiers.

There lived IN Charlestown, w. Va,
says a writer in the Norfolk Land
mark, a man of the name of George
Sadler, who had taken upon himself
the task Of keeping the Confederates,
when anywhere within 100 miles OF
the town. fully advised Of all the
movements of the F'ederals when they
had the town within their lines, Which
was the case most of the time. He
was a devoted Southerner, and while
unfit for service in the army was al
ways on the watch for any news that
would be of value to the Confederates,
and very fertile in expedients for both
finding out and sending through the
lines many facts which, if known to
the Federals, would have cost Sadler
his freedom, if not his life
Upon certain rainy Saturday even
ing Sadler knew that Confederate
soldier known as Grow Conllyn, a ma
tive of that county, would be in a
grove about mile and a half from the
town, and known as 'kennedy's
Woods" That he was the bearer OF
an important letter from the general
in command of the nearest Confeder-
ates he also knew; that he had a let
ter containing important information
which just must be sent out, but the
how was the question, as for some I'M
known reason the Federals had doubz
led their guards and thrown out an adj
ditional line of picllets that morning
and had also issued orders that no one
should leave his premises for three
days. during which time they search
ed the town for "Rebs' whom they be-
lieved to be in hiding in the homes of
the people.
So it seemed that Sauler's usual re-
sources were e1fectually headed off
and that for once even he was out
witted; but while sorely perpleXed, as
it would soon be dark, he heard boy
looked over in that direction and saw
little Holmes Berry playing with his
ball. He knew that the boy was very
bright for his age, and that he was
known among his schoclfellows as the
most reckless boy in the town; that
he could climb higher, jump farther.
and was up to more tricks than any
other fellow, though very small for
his age. Sader called the boy and
told Holmes the fix he was in about
getting one letter out and another in
to the town. The boy said: <>Nlr. Sad
Ter. just let me have the letter and III
do the job for you
II fear you Will be caught and
searched. Your older brother has
been killed and you don't know the
danger. boy.
Il won't be caught: or if I am, those

blame; your father being a minister
/ it would go hard with your whole lam
| lily"
Never mind, you let me have that
letter and see how Will fool them
Ianks. It'll be fun"
SadIer gave the boy the letter. He
had only thin jacket, was bare
footed and wore a pair of cloth pants
without any pocket and had on
nearly wornout straw hat which had
often done service in killing bees and
butterflies
lie said: "All right: good-by Mr..
Sadler,' and disappeared around the
stable.
1t had rained very heavily nearly
all day, SO that the roads away from
the sidewalks were red clay mud ev-
erywhere. Sadler spent four anx-
iouS hours, at the end OF which he
heard that little Holmes Berry was in
the guardhouse, had been searched
three times and was said to be almost
scared to death. Oh. how he blamed
himself for getting the boy into that

the commanding officer and ask to be
allowed TO take the boys place and
bear his fate, whatever that might be-.
He asked and was allowed to see the
prisoner: then saw the little fellow
crying as if his heart would break.
He watched the boy and when the
guard was not looking little Berry
gave him wicked little wink and
then went on crying harder than ever.
Sadlcr knew then that the boy was
4 match for his captors and deter
mined to watch the outcome and take
his place ii he was sentenced. The
little fellow was SO small and pltltul
looking that the officer was puzzled
to know what to do with him. So
he sent for, Mr.. Riddle, u prominent
man and strong Unionist, to come
and advise him. When this old gen
tlenlan came he said: what are you
doing with that child? Take him
home and tell them to give him a
whipping for giving all this trouble
and getting himself covered with
mud" The officer sent two soldiers
home with the boy, whose legs We're
caked all over with red clay mud. so
that the color of his pants could not
be told. Sadler kept in sight of them
and when the guards turned him over
to mis- aunt the boy unrolled the legs
Of his pants, when out came the letter
for Sadler and others. They had been
tightly rolled up in the pants legs ane
then he had waded into the thick mud
to coat himself so that that part OF
his wardrobe was not searched, and
he made good his promise to fool
them Yanl<s.'
