Class Reunion.

Plans are under way for the fourth
annual reunion of the Class of 1907,
of Normal School No. ? The annual
function of the class will be held in
February. No other classes, grad
yates of the school, hold reunions;
in -iis respect the class Of 1907 Is
unique Since the organization of
the class during its senior year at
the school, its ranks have become
somewhat depleted through deaths
and marriages. Interest in the class
annual reunion, however, remains un-
abated, and their affair of this year
is looked forward to with interest and
pleasure 1t is the intention of the
committee of arrangements to urge
upon those members who are married
to attend this meeting and take active
part in the proceedings.

CHAPTER XIV.

A Night Ride Of the Wounded.
It was a wild, rude scene without,
yet in its way typical OF a llttle-un-
derstood chapter Of Civil War. More
over 1t was one with which was not
entirely unacquainted. Years of cav
airy scouting, bearing me beyond the
patrol lines of the two great armies,
had frequently brought me into con.
tact with those various independent
irregular forces which, cooperating
with US, often rendered most efficient
service by preying on the scattered
Federal camps and piercing their lines
of communication. Seldom rislSing an
engagement in the open. their policy
was rather to dash down upon some
outpost or poorly guarded wagon
train, and retreat with a rapidity rem.
dering pursuit hopeless. 1t was partI
san warfare, and appealed to many
ill-adapted to abide the stricter dis.
cipline OF regular service. These Dor.
der rangers would rendezvous under
some chosen leader, strike an unex'
pected blow where weakness had been
discovered, then disappear as quickly
as they came, oftentimes scattering
widely until the call went forth for
some fresh assault. 1t was service
ing the Revolutionary struggle by
Sumter and Marion In the Caro1inas,
and added in the aggregate many q
day to the contest of the Confederacy,
Among these wild, rough riders be.
tween the lines no leader was more
favorably known OF our army, nor
more dreaded by the enemy, than
Mosby. Daring to the point of reck.
lessness, yet wary as fox, counting
numbers nothing when
weighed against the advantage Of sur
prise. tireless in saddle, audacious in
resource, quick to plan and equally
quick to execute, he was always
where least expected, and it was
seldom he failed to win reward for
those who rode at his back. Pos.
sessing regular rank In the ConEed.
crate Army, making report OF his op.
erations to the commander-in-chicf, his
peculiar talent as partisan leader
had won him what was practically an
command. knowing him
as did, was not surprised that he
should now have swept suddenly out
of the black night upon the very verge
of the battle to drive his Irritating
sting into the hard-earned Federal VIC
tory.
