IIVIRGIHIA EPISODE.
/ ' •
By HARRIET CAMBEY.
(Copyright, 19U9. by American Pr*am Asso
elation.]
During; that perlwd whei the armies
of tbe Confederacy and of the north
were swaying back and .forth In Vlr"
glnia. while lu command of the tii
New York volunteer lu fan try. I was
advanced one evening IntP territory
that had been previously held by th •
enemy. Near me was a bouse, AIM:
from Ihe inmates I received an luvlin
tioi\ ki supper.,. I accepted and fount,
a ladj and tn-r daughter, the rest 01
the fitnilly. consisting of rwo sons, be
Ins lit the Confederate army. 1 vyi!
full thein Mrs. and Miss Bates. On:
sldoring that the blockade bad d.
prlved them of all table supplies ex
eepf such as could be raised ID th
south, they gave me a very fair rneai
made up of tlie only chicken left h.v
the "Johnnies" and the dellcleus b"
bread that southern women know
well how to make.
1 was then twenty-eight years o>'
and considered myself passably attrac
tive to women. There can be uo In
modesty In my now saying so, sln«i
the wrinkled, white headed old man
of today Is not the same bodily permit
as the young soldier of 1803. I had
seen those southern girls fall preclpi
tately In love on sight with our Van
kee boys and was not especially takei
aback when Clara Bates showed a suii
den admiration for tpe.
The young lady confined the expi-ef
slon of her attraction for me to be
eyes ahd her speech. She would no*
permit me even to touch her hand
She seemed troubled at the proxftnlw
of two hostile armies, declaring jhnt
though her sympathies were with Hi
Confederates, she hoped they would
retreat farther south. I set myself ti
work to draw from her any Informn
Hon she might possess of the enemy
intentions, and she told me that
southern general whom she spoke 01
familiarly as Bob and who had left
her only that morning bad expressed
mi opinion that It would be some tlin
before he would see her again. Cod
siderlng this to Indicate a further re
treat, I was about to fake my leave
for the purpose of reporting It at once
to my general when I heard from fbr
next room the words, spoken In Mrs
Bates' own voice:
"Kiss me again. Bob."
Darting a glance at my companion
1 saw the blood rustling Into bur fac«-
Then she started up to leave the room
luit, grasping ber wrist. I detained her
Immediately from the same room a>
before came a succession of smacks
Miss Bates made another effort to lr»v
herself, t>ut I laughingly held her, any
ii'g; •
"This is far too Interesting to lose
i'leasp sit still."
"Clnra! Sweetheart!" came anothei
voice, this time a man's, but souudiu.'-
ratber as if it issued from a phono
graph than a human t>elug, foiiowe*
by a lot of unintelligible croaking.
Miss Kates writhed, but by this tiiu>
I bad both her wrists in my grasp
aud she could not get away. I lieu,
ber for perhaps Uve minutes, waitlns.
for something more from the adjoin
lug room. Presently it came in a m.'i>
online voice:
"All together! Surprise 'em! Two
o'clock."'
.At I his the heightened color left un
prisoner's f.vce, unci she turned pnle
I would not now let her go on an,,
account. It must have been tive tnln
utes before more cnme. Tben it was
"Goodl»y. sweetheart! Goodby! Uou
by!"
There was a long wait after tbi
and I was beginning to fear then
would be no more when 1 received an
other installment, still In the mascti
line:
"Bolt, turn their night! Turn tlifl
right: Turn their right! Oho! Uotwi
by. Clara! Kiss me!"
HeUasing uiy prisoner, 1 left tarj
with a derisive "Goodby. Clara!" auu
directing that a guard be immediate!'
thrown around the* house that tber
might be no comniuuicatioo from !
witli the enemy, I rode at ouee to th
corps commander.
"General." 1 saitl, "I have just pas--.
etl through an experience which I li:
terpret as follows:* I have beeu enter
tallied by a southern girl who pti;
poseiy gave me false Information tii.'v
the enemy in our frowt would again re
treat. There I learned, doubtless froo
a parrot in an adjoining room, whiH
bad been used either for a council «■:
war or from which orders were 1-
sued, that we will be attacked befor
daylight in the morning; though whir
morning I enn't Inform you. Tomot
row seems most likely."
"Thntiks. colonel." replied the get.
erol. "We'll take the precaution to t>-
under arms every morning."
It was half past 2 the vfcry uex'
morning that an attack was made r ,
•ur right, re-enforced by artillery. f»i
lowed by infantry, all along the line
But as soon as the enemy saw that w
were under arms ajid ready for then,
they teased firing and gradually with
drew. We followed and gained a snl»
stantial advantage.
What Interested me after the flgir
was to learn the name of tbe Confejl
crate general who attempted to turi
our right. This 1 had no difficulty' 1"
doing from prisoners captured on tli>
field. From them 1 learned that the
general was one of the youngest and
most attractive in the Confederate
service, that he commanded a division
in a corps commanded by Ms unci,
and that his first name was Robert.
Ten years after the war ended
having occasion to visit Virginia. I
sought out tbe house in which the
episode bad occurred. Miss Bates hnd
married General "Bob." I wrote jr
note asking permission to call and SHt*
eatertahied hospitably by tbe covple.
