]. E. B. Stuart? Why must it be the guerrilla,
the bushwhacker, the freebooter Mosby?"
she had argued her dark eyes as tempestuous
as stormy sea. "He observes none of the
rules of warfare. 1t is as if Mosby and his
men are too good for camps, the dullness of
routine, self-abnegation and passive obedi-
enCe. They must be allowed much latitude and
many privileges for their plundering. think,
sir. that you have gone to war for a lark
rather than any deep conviction imbedded in
your heart. am Northerner. and believe
we are right. Your people are Southern. and
they believe they are right. But that is not
the quarrel l pick with you. Lieutenant
Ames."
He had tried to tell her that Mosbys war
fare was always such as the laws OF war allow.
To destroy supply trains, to break up the
means of conveying intelligence and thus
isolate an army from its base, to confuse
plans by capturing dispatches were the OBJ
jects of Mosby's partisan warfare. 1t was
glamorous and daring - but pundering
neper! Yet, he had not made her understand
about Mosby. She forgave him for being
Confederate: indeed she, like many women in
the North and South, declared that her heart
bled for each. But she would not forgive him
for his great devotion to his captain.
"If | could see with my own eyes that
Mosby and his men" she had said. give up
their lives as freely as any organized army
of the Confederacy, l might understand
She had nervously fingered the base of her
throat. But l have a feeling. Lieutenant
Ames, that freebooting is a chance of serving
your South in all safety. would not marry
coward even after brothers have ceased
fighting brothers. So if you persist in this
cowardly guerrilla warfare -" Scorn had
edged her voice. and bewilderment and pain
had traversed her face. He could not know.
of course. what she would now have given for
those words back again. And so he had failed
to make her understand.
1t was almost two in the morning when
theyreached Fairfax Court house There was
hospital on the Square in an old frame build
ing that had been tavern. Nelson quickly
dsmounted and, with six-shooter as a
persuasive power, took as prisoner the lone
sentry parading sleepily in the shadows of the
square -columned porch. Except for the sentry.

VT WAS late in the afternoon of spring
day in 1868, when Captain John S.
Mosby and twenty nine picked men left
Il Aldie. Virginia. The iced surface of the
ground was melting under long slanting
streaks of rain, and the horses treading on the
soft snow made very little noise. At the edge
of the road. the bushes rustled in brief panic
as the column passed.
Nelson Ames turned in his saddle and with
studied indifference looked at his commander
who had conceived this audacious enterprise.
Even in his saddle. the man seemed to sit
restlessly; his rather slender body was taut,
his gray eyes were bright with fierce inner
glow. There was beneath his clipped mustache
a crooked turn at the corners of his finely
chiselled lips.
Why was Mosby amused? Was he thinking
of Colonel Percy Wyndham, that English
adventurer who had served with Garibaldi
and now offered his services to the North in
this internal conflict? Was he thinking of that
gallant, foppish Yankee general - Edwin H.
Stoughton? Was he wondering what his care
fully picked men would think when they
IOuIlu lICIllSClNCo III tiS CiSAhy NohP
surrounded by hostile thousands?
Mosby turned as if feeling the magnetism
ofthe younger mans stare, and Nelson looked
hastily down the road. His gray uniform was
wet enough to wiring water from it, and when
he bowed his blond head, the water poured
from the brim of his hat and splashed into
dancing stars on the pommel of his saddle. His
skin was pricked with the damp and chill. but
his heart was warmly beating and his blood
lashed quick and hot in his veins. Out of the
twenty-nine picked men, he was the only one
who knew Mosby's full purpose: to pluck
General Edwin H. Stoughton and Colonel
Percy Wyndham from the very heart of their
camp and be off like dust before the wind
The night before, they had gone over the
map of the vicinity of Fairfax Courthouse.
Mosby's thumb had traced the Little River
turnpike running easterly by Centreville, the
extreme Federal outpost in the defense OF
Washington where there was brigade of
infantry, cavalry and artillery. Between the
Little River and Centreville pixies, there was
gap in the picket-li by means of which, if
they succeeded in passing through, they
might reach the Generals headquarters at
the Court house in comparative safety.
