“Téan teil you & good story a W. Reed, the brilliant Derver deminie, said a Wisconsin man who has been ac- quainted with Reed for 30 years,

‘‘Myron Reed went into the army a pri- vate, but was a ¢ ay tain within two years and in 1864 was offered a commission as colonel of an nessee regiment. He

vil, as fearless in battle as he in pulpit, the sort of officer upon when there w7s uting to be done. Captain Reed did a great deal in that line during his s in Toman SSC

‘*Before davlicht one October morning 1864 an order was received directing d to select 20 of the most trusty men in the regiment for scout duty and report at Givision headquarters with the least pe ssible delay.

‘Captain Reed,’ said the general, ‘you seem to seek hazardous undertakings. {[ have work of that character for you.’

‘You have mistaken my meaning, sir.

I do not court danger. I am simply ready at all times to run risks if the serv- fee demands it.’

‘Very well; have it as you will. It is reported on what I regard good authority that a large Confederate force is coming into this partof Tennessev from Arkansas.

I want you to take these »nen and push in | their reported direction as rapidly as your |

animals can carry you. I want you to make at least 30 miles today. When you meet the enemy, return without delay and report and if possible without allowing hira to discover you.’

“The captain and his 20 followers, all of whom resembled their commander in one respect—every one of them being a dare- devil—rode through the Union picket line soon after sunrise. Soon after sunset, when the shades of night appeared and the Tennessee mountain whose base they were nearing looked gloomy and forbidding, they heard something that greatly added to their gloom, fearless the&gh they were. It was the one word:

“ “Halt!”

“The speaker was on the side of the mountain, out of sight and not more than a quarter of amile away. It had beena perfect day and wasa periect evening. The voice rang out as clear as abell. Reed sat- isfied himself quickly that the command had not been intended for his force. His epinion was confirmed when the same yoice was heard giving these directions:

‘* ‘Lieutenant, tell Colonel Jones of the Tenth Tennessee to go inte camp on that side of the road. Have Colonel Bailey take his regiment just beyond the Tenth. Let ‘the other three regiments of the brigade camp on this side of the road.’

from the road, dismounted, fed tneir horses and tried to get a litile rest before

starting on the 80 miles ride to the Union

“An hour IJater they heard the same voice, a little farther up the mountain, as follows:

‘first Arkansas brigade, if you will give me your attention I will comply with the very general request of the com- mand fo sing.’

‘¥hen for half an hour, in a yoice that was as clear and sweet as thut October at- mosphere, he sang hymn after hymn, old fashioned ones guch as the Yankee boys had often heard in their northern homes. Wi en the singing ceased, the vocalist bri-

pa le commander told his men to go to

ep BNE d get a good rest, a3 they would be C ald ed upon on the morrow to make a forced march of many miles and possibly end i¢ with a hard batile.

‘*Noé loz after that Captain Reed’s scouting party started back to camp, reach- ing there about 10 o’clock the next day. His report ef the discovery of an Arkansas brigade ied to active preparations fora coming battle, but it did not occur. The First Arkansas brigade did not keep itz engagement.

The following winter Captain Reed found himself in charge of alarge number of Confederate prisoners. Among them

. Was one who was much given to singing

hymns. Reed thought he had heard the voice. Approaching the singer, he en- gaged him in conyersation, with the fol-

lowing result:

** ‘Have we met before?’

‘* “Not that I know of, sah.’

** “Your voice has a familiar sound.’

“Then he thought of the hymns he had heard on the side of that Tennessee moun- tain.

‘Do you belong to an Arkansas bri- |

gade?’ asked Reed.

‘**No, sah. I’m a Tennessee soldier.’

‘**Were you with an Arkansas brigade when it went into camp on a Tennessee mountain last October?? He named the locality.

‘**T was on the mountain you speak of, but not with an Arkansas brigade.’

‘**Did you sing hymns and then tell the men of your brigade to sleep and rest, for the next day they would have a long, hard march and mayhap a fight?’

“**T sang that night, sah, and made the remark, but not to a brigade, sah.’

“*A regiment?’

“*No, sah, to six men who were with meonascout. We saw a force of 25 or 30 horsemen nearing our position, and not caring to leave just then and knowing that we could not fightso large a party we resorted to that harmless trick to halt the Yankees and give us a chance for a short rest, after which we rode back to camp faster than we left it.’

‘** What is your name, please?’

“ “Berry, Captain Berry of th —— Tennessee cavalry, sah.’

“* *Captain Berry, I’m glad to meet you. I had cominand of the party you mention. Your ruse worked. [ marched right back to camp, and we got ready to fight a large body of Arkansas troops. You were get- ting away from me with as much geal as I was displaying in getting away from your comamand, Guess you and I had not bet- ter say much about our experiences on that October scout. I’ve got somethingas good as the commissary keeps in this canteen. Try it.’

‘**Thank you, sah, I never drink.’

“*A Tennessee soldier and don't drink?’«

“‘T am alsoa minister of the gospel, sah.’

In McClure’s Magazine is told a story ef Macauley sent cut before a battle in the Shenandoah val- ley to ascertain the force of the enemy. ‘}ils was the last Colonel Macauley saw of Me officer. One day while Macauley was holding court in Indianapolis as mayor a

one legged man came in and said, ‘*Colo- nel, I have to report that I found the en- emy in force.’?’ He was the captain who had been sent out te reconnoiter several years before. He had been wounded, cap- tured and had a leg amputated and was to his home in Massachusetts when exchanged, Passing through Indianapolis it occurred to him that he should report to his superior ofiicer.
