HORNETS SPIKED A GUN
Mosby Failed to Capture Supply
Train Because of the Little Insects.

Train Because of the Little Insects.
Colonel John s. Mosby, commander
Of the Partisan Rangers, who gave
such dashing service in the southern
cause fifty years ago, Is living now In
the city Of Washington. One of the
really amusing incidents that passed
under his notice during the war he told
not long ago.
In the summer of 1864, when Gener-
al Phil Sheridan was in the valley of
the Shenandoah, he found himself much
harassed by Mosby, who was continu-
ally cutting off his supply trains. An
army cannot fight on an empty stom-
ach, and Mosby knew it. He also knew
how, with his small, force to neutralize
the strength Of an army more than five
times his number, for by rushing from
point to point and making sudden at
tacks miles apart he kept large pro-
portion of the Union troops in constant
chase of him.
One bright morning Mosby heard
that a long supply train was winding
its way down the valley. BY noon the
Rangers, in their gray uniforms, were
gathered at the forks of the valley
pike, watching for the head Of the wa
gon train to appear.
Presently a cloud Of dust was seen
rising far up the road. and. as the wind
blew it aside, the Confederates caught
sight Of a line of men in blue escort
ing a caravan of numbering wagons
drawn by mules. Instantly Mosby gave
the order to run little howitzer up on
the side of hill and unlimber it. AS
soon as the gun had opened fire the
rest Of the men were to make a caval-
ry charge and throw the train into
confusion.
The Rangers jerked the gun into po-
sition and began to swab 1t out. Sud-
denly the man with the swab gave a
shrill yell, seized the seat Of his pan
falcons, and fled down the hill and out
into the road Almost the same mo-
ment the other man at the gun aban-
doned'it. He seemed to be fighting at
the air as he disappeared over a stone
wall
The suffers wagons were creeping
nearer and Mosby did not know what
to think of such extraordinary conduct
He ordered four more men to the gun
| but hardly had they reached it when
they, too, yelled, began to beat the all
madly with their hats. and took to
| flight.
Squirting his horse over the stone
wall Mosby rode toward the gun but
his stay was short The howitzer stood
just over a hornets nest, and those
busy insects were resenting the intru-
sion. They had repelled the invaders
on foot, and now they swarmed or
Mosby's horse till the maddened ami
NAL tore off down the pike on run
Then they turned their attention tc
the rest of the troop.
| Their attack was so vicious that the
Rangers gave up any idea Of standing
by the gun :. They scattered far and
wide, and it was an hour before they
returned. When they did, the wagor
train had safely vanished in the dis.
tance. So the hornets saved the day
for Sheridan.-Youth's Companion.
