RETURNED A PET HORSE
General Sherman Wouldn't Keep AMI
nal That Owner Had Paiscd.

General Sherman was with the main
body of his troops, which marched
directly thru my grandfathers plan
tation.
Several days before the soldiers ar
rived by grandfather went to Savan-
nah on business. His seven sons and
his two sons-in-law were fighting for
the COnfederacy. only my grand
mother, one of my aunts ana the ne
gro servants were at home.
Fortunately General Sherman led
the troops that came to our house that
day. His army was Giving off the
country and they TOOK most of our
chickens, cattle and hogs for food, ap-
propriatcd what horses and fodder
they needed and helped themse'""s TO
whatever was growing in tine fields
that was fit to eat, but there were
none of the cruelties and insults of
which irresponsible bands Of foragers
We're often guilty General Sherman
appeared the courteous gentleman
who was performing a disagreeablc
duty.
Among the horses his men took
from my grandfather's house was
Bess-the big black mare that he had
raised himself, trained for his own
saddle horse and loved and petted like
Ia child General Sherman took a
fancy to Bess, and he himself rode
her away
When grandfather returned and
found what had happened. nothing
hurt him so much as the loss of Bcss
Scarcely waiting To see how complete
ly the place had been stripped, he
mounted an old horse. the only one
he had left, and started after General
Sherman's troops The federal SOL
diers laughed at him and his mount
when he came up with them, but he
paid no heed; he was bent on recov-
ering his favorite horse.
When he presented himself to the
general my grandfather was good
deal surprised at the kindness and
consideration with which he was re-
ceived.
General Sherman" he began, Il
cannot give up my horse; she is like
child to me. My children are grown
up now, and | have taken almost as
much care In raising and training her

knows my call, and will come to me
when she hears me. She is yours by
right of war, but | will pay you for

what you say. Whom | was riding her

back again and again. Come out here
and let me hear you call"
At that grandfather gave loud,
warbling whistle. and almost instantly
came the answer--a glad Whitney
