; How He Became
Chief of Scouts
k ^
(Original.]
Several "vets" of the civil war were
comparing uotes as to the why" and
wherefore of their advancement dur
log ttieir term of active service. AH
gave accounts creditable to themselves
till It was the last mail's turn, when he
j told the following story:
I enlisted in the ranks with the rest
of the boys I knew in 1SC1. I didn't
seem to hav* been out out for a*sol
dier. I vas not easily disciplined. 1
was always straggling, and drills were
j to me Intolerable. The only time I
could be relied on to show np for duty
was when there was Bghtlng. and then
It was not because I liked It, for I dldn t,
but because I dreaded the sneers of my
comrades. Nobody ever thought for a
moment of my even being made a non
com., much less decorated with a shoul
der strap.
Well, oue day when we were cavort
ing around in Virginia, marching In
one direction oue day. another the next,
never still forty-eight consecutive hours,
not having had regular rations for some
time. I got hungry and took the first
opportunity to drop out and do a little
foraging. 1 passed a house beside the
road with ? door leading down into a
cellar. 1 tried it and found it un
locked. So 1 opened It and went in.
There was nothing In the place but a
girl, one of the southern girls of the
period, with an olive complexion and
hair cut square around her neck. She
.was washing something.
"What d'y' want?" she asked.
??I'm looking for something to eat,"
j j replied. "I saw the door opening on j
| io the ruud very convenient, so 1 J
I -.bought I'd just step In and see what
j I could find."
[ "That's just the way that door has .
'ooked to all the stragglers in the
army." she repliej). "There's not been
I 'ess than 6.000 men come in here. At j
i "'rst we h.nl some provisions, but !
they were soou eaieti up by soldiers,
'o we didn't put any more here. W e I
ou t keep th^ do...- locked because it
vould be kieked open. Are there any
[ ?jf your tueii near by .*
"lines.* not." 1 said.
> -Well, ii' there ain't I don't uilud j
1 homing y .m where we keep our eat
ables. I'o you see that wall? That
ihuts oft' a part of the cellar, Com*
i-MStairs and I'll show you how to gei
into it." .
1 went up to the floor above, and th<
1 i, | opened a trapdoor. 1 went down
! aU,i was looking about for a snack
when I heard the door shut aud locked
There was no getting out. so afte:
' -I while I stretched myself on a tabu
! aUa went to sleep. 1 was awakeuw
1 by a tramping above. The cellar wa
i dark, so I knew it was night. Hear
'u- the clank of a saber. I listened tc
discover if some of onr men hadn'i
I come in. They were not Federals, bui
Confederates of high rank. I coulu
hear every word they said. It was b
council of' war. When at last they set
tied on a plan to concentrate and at
tack our forces, they went over each
detail again and again to be sure ther<
should be no mistake. While they
were doing it 1 was fixing it all n
my memory so that if 1 *-'ot out 'E
time 1 could warn onr general.
In the morning the trap was opene..
anil a couple of Confederate soldiers
took me in charge. The girl wasnt
there, but an old man and woman
seemed to know all about my haying
been trapped. I doubt if either of them
knew that their living r.wmi and kitcb
en had been -used for a conference. I m
not sure they knew I was there when
the conference was held. The soldiers
took me away, and on the road we met
the girl who had trapped me. 1 askeu
to speak to her aud told her I had a
watch iu one of my pockets and would
give it to her if she would get me off.
Her eyes sparkled, and she agreed to
try She sent one of my guards to a
house where she said they had a stock
Of hams and while lie was gone man
aged to get the other one's musket
which she playfully fired at a tree. 1
: rau up and took it from her. she only
! pretending to resist. The owner see
1 ;ig that I had the advantage of him,
: -an awaj. Then 1 gave the girl mj
| vatch, as I bad promised, and took to
! he woods til! I ran across some of our
i nen.
j While I \ras on my way to the gen- |
j jrol with iny information I wondered j
1 tow 1 would explain my being mnde a j
iri-o:ier without giving away the fact i
hat I had beeti straggling. Then It
?ccurred to uie that my story wasn't
?fry probable anyway. Why didn't the
) jM folks tell the general^ that a Van
'see soldier was imprisoned in the cel
.arV Why didn't the girl ask the sol
Uei'3 to take my watch instead of get
.ing me away from them In order to
;et it? 1 can't to this day explain the
irst, and the ouiy explanation I can
jive of the second is that the girl didn't
i .rant any other claimant for it.
| I made tip a cock and bull story
I ibout having gone to sleep from ex
haustion on the march and on waking
i ip had found a chance to do some
j touting. 1 calFed for a nrnp and show
! xl just where certain Confederate
forces were located and how they
[could be concentrated. The informa
! tlon was acted on, and wheu the at
tack came our men were ready for it
The result of all this was that 1 was
given a commission and a place on tbe
; staff of the general commanding, with
| charge of the se<*ts. During the rest
: of nty aruiy service I to'.d lots of men
J haw to scout, and after my remarkable
feat in that line they all believed I
wa;. fully competent to instruct them.
