ed, You didn't burn those?"
Yes l said, proudly, 4 set them
on fire.
He leaped from his chair and
shouted: What in blazes did you
burn those for! I'm going up that
way tomorrow He kind of glared
at me for a minute, and then he re
membered the last time l had report
ed to him, and he burst into a big
laugh
My Rackensack and His Spurs.
As scouting party of sixteen of us
had captured twenty-seveR of the
enemy and thirty-two horses. We were
told that General Forrest was at Olive
Branch with four thousand cavalry,
only mile distant. To get back to
Baton Rouge, a distance of twenty two
miles, we must pass them. We re-
crossed the bridge, rode down the
river a mile, forded it, and intended
to make the Comite ford before the
enemy were aroused in camp. Here n
though 1T is well enough to laugh
about now, failed to excite the spirit
of mirth in me at that time.
One of the prisoners whom l was
guarding, was a tall, swarthy fellow.
He called himself "a Rackensack from
Arkansas" He wore pair Of silver
plated Mexican spurs which l want
a oil al I'M
to present them to me as a mark Of
respect to his superior officer.
He allowed" he would keep them,
and after few complimentary words
passed between us, I finally gave him
to understand that he was my prison
er, and I would have the spurs if it
cost the price Of Rackensack.
He then handed me the spurs.
About that time we heard a yell,
and looking back as far as the eye
could reach we saw the enemy on our
trail With energy we urged our tired
horses on so as to reach the Con1ite
ford when we would be safe; but all
In vain-Forrest's whole command was
after US, 80 it seemed. The prisoners
when we reached the ford we found
the enemy there awaiting us. We
made a flank movement and tried to
gain the bridge, but to no purpose.
We were ordered to dismount, and
our arms and everything of value
taken from US.

feel half as big as I did a half hour

upon me, and said: "Yank, I reckon

that [ allowed I'd keep my spurs" /

easy. We fully realized now that we
were wholly in the enemy's power.
