ridden the whole time of his service
In the confederate army. She was a
magnificent saddle animal. and ordi-
nzrily as gentle as lamb. but II any
one yentured to say, when on her
back. look out, the Yankee, are COM
irg! she would proceed to bolt at the
top Of her speed as though terror
stricken. and 1t was a difficult thing
to quiet her down. ! suppose the
words had In some way been borne
in upon her equine intelligence during
the conflict, and they must have had
some frightful meaning.
Once l addressed them to her, 70
