MOSBY WAS THERE.
A Cavalry Regiment Found Him, but
 Didn't Make a Capture.

A Cavalry Regiment Found Him, but
 Didn't Make a Capture.
 General John S. Mosby, the Confed- crate cavalryman, used to tell of a comic incident which happened in the Shenandoah valley in 1864. Near Mill wood a regiment of cavalry halted on, night and went into camp. One of th> men, who was hungry, slipped away and went off in the neighborhood to get something to eat He rode up to cabin on farm in the dark and called for the person inside to come out.
 A negro woman, known at that time IS an intelligent contraband, opened the door and asked him what he want ed, The soldier wished to be assured of his safety before dismounting and while eating his supper. so he inquired of the woman if any one but herself was there.
 She replied. "Yes; Mosby is here.'
 "Whaty' said he in a whisper. "ls Mosby here9
 "Yes," she said; "he is in the house.
 The soldier put spurs to his horse and dashed of to his company to carry the news. When he got there he in- formed the colonel that Mosby was Tn a house not far away. The regiment was soor, mounted and went at fast trot. thinking they had Mosby in a trap.
 When they arrived at the negro wo- mans house the colonel ordered his men to surround it to prevent Mosby's escape, while he went in with few to take him dead or alive. The woman again came to the door of the cabin. The colonel inquired. "1s Mosby here?"
 She innocently replied. "Yes," so he walked in.
 After the colonel got inside he looked round. But the woman seemed to be all alone and utterly unconscious Of having so important person for a guest.
 | Tn a loud voice the colonel demand ed, "where is Mosby?" "'Ere he," answered the terrified ne- gress. at the same time pointing to a | cradle on the floor.
 The colonel looked into the cradle and saw little African pickaninny sucking its paw.-Youth's Companion.
