him the fact that he was south
erner, ordered that he be held under
arrest and charges Of desertion be
made against him.
Davis laughed at the idea of charges
against a man who hated Confederates
as he hated poison, and If he felt the
least doubt about his being able to
clear himself none Of US could de-
tect it.
But the evidence came In heavy
against him. He was recognized as
having belonged to an entirely differ
ent corps from ours and as having
played the same game before, doubt
less serving as Federal soldier and
carrying information to Confederate
generals. Before the court finished the
case it came out that Davis belonged
to an old Maryland family, that he
held a commission as lieutenant colo
mel in the Confederate army and was
high in favor with several Confederate
generals. whom he had furnished with
enough information to enable any army
to defeat twice its numbers.
Davis was sentenced to be hanged.
His family might have saved his life
had he been convicted of desertion.
Indeed. they were handicapped, know
ing that he was spy-ln fact. an Of
ficer of high rank in the Confederate
army. The best they could do for him
was to obtain change in the mode
Of his death. The sentence was made
shooting instead of hanging.
Davis maintained the same GOODNESS
Of outward appearance to the moment
Of his death. Before he was spy of
the enemy; now he was one Of natures

was soldier in the ranks who
was thoroughbred. No one even
of his own company seemed to
know exactly when or where he en-
listed where was his home or any
thing else about him except that he
said he was Il Marylander. Maryland
was border state. the inhabitants be-
ing part northern and part southern ip
their sympathies.
There was nothing unusual about
Davis fighting on the Union side, for
in the border states whole Federal
regiments were made up Of their citi-
zens. But it was singular to hear
him abusing Confederates with the ac-
cent of southern man.
Davis in other respects was good
natured fellow, perfectly fearless and
seemed to have no selfishness in his
nature-indeed, was type Of the real
southern gentleman. We wondered
why he had not been able to obtain
commission, but he reminded us that
the flower of the Maryland population
was on the southern side. Maryland
was not good state for nOrtherners.
We were cavalry, and Davis was
one Of the best of us so far as horse
rlanship was concerned. He was con-
stantly being punished for roaming
about wherever he liked. He rode all
over our camps and. whenever he
'ok fancy to do so. sailed forth SIN
ge handed against the Confederate
pickets. That lie was good fighter
was evident whenever there was trOu
BILE IN the picket lines. On such Oc-
casions he would ride right up under
the enemy's rifles. He always came
back unhurt and we could never un-
derstand how he managed to escape.
One night while out on vedette duty
Davis disappeared. Shooting was
heard in the direction of the point
where he was stationed. and it was
believed that at last he had reaped
the payment of his recklessness. A
party was sent out next morning to
look for his body, but 1t was not found.

erything was changed with us. Armies

song, the Battle Hymn Of the Repub-

1T was during the second year Of
the war;" she said, land l had gone
to Washington with my husband and
my pastor, the Rev. James Freeman
Clarke. I had wished many times that
l could do something for my country.
but the way seemed closed. My hus-
band was too old and Ill to 60; my son
was only boy. My children were SO
young that 1'could not leave my home
for long myself. While we were In
Washington there was great review
of the troops across the river. We
drove out to see 1t. While it was in
progress there was dash made against
some Of our troops by the enemy. It
was repulsed. but the review was aban-
doned, and the troops came thronging
back to Washington and we with
them.
THE progress Of our carriage was
slow. for the roads were crowded with
the soldiers. To encourage the men
we began singing various songs and
hymns. and they would join in the
chorus After we had sung John

asked me why I did not write some
new words for that music. replied
that had tried several times, but new

o'clock ! woke suddenly. As l lay
there In bed the words Of the hymn
began to form themselves in my mind.

early morning scrawled them on
piece Of paper and then went back to
bed and sound asleep again. That is
the way the hymn was written.
