the lines to guard the property OF Colonel
Sellers, a gentleman who professed no SYM
pathy with the union cause, but who had,
with true southern hospitality, opened his
house to such union soldiers as came to his
door. One night Fawcet and his com
panions were awakened to find themselves
prisoners In the custody OF a company of
confederate cavalry.
TIL horrors of Andersonvilie prison stared
them in the face. The two older prisoners
accepted the situation and at once resigned
themselves to their fate. The boy, Tawcett,
proposed to argue the question with his
captors.

to the cavalry officers. I'VE are serving
your cause by protecting one Of your citi-
Gems. To punish us would be against the
laws and usages Of civilized warfare. Be-
Sides continued the young man, you

decided that 1t was illegal to take these
prisoners. They were allowed to remain as
