f HELEN BLAZES f
JtllS l nlory of mare (bat made
ber rcpuaition during the weeks
almost incrssunt fighting before
Petersburg and Bermuda Hundred.
Eho lost brr life In a scrimmage in
. which the wae nearly the whole thing,
for (be had a way of taking metiers
into ber own control and carrying her
rider into the thickest of the fight,
v whether he liked it or not.
She wot such a warrior herself that
when she got worked up to the proper
pitch she paid! do attention to bugle
calls or orders, and alwnys started in to
llirntb the enemy single handed. That
was one reason why she whs called
Helen Hliizes. But there was another
ber temper.
The name was cot spelled Just that
way by the boys of the Third New York
cavalry, but Jeb Smith, the man who
rode her end the only ronn who ever
could ride her wee a minister before
the war broke out, so he chunged the
aripina! three words of her nnme Into
two, tbuk quieting bis conwlrnce and
-atlsfytnp: "the boys" at the snme time.
fihe isiis picked up one night on a
scoulins expedition. Wink Tomklns
bri'ugh' her jto crmp the next morn
ing, and lie was a sight. You could bear
him swearing at lllnzes when they were
mile awny, and between his curses
and the laughter of bis companions,
am the plunging and kicking, biting
and striking of the mare aa they ap
proached, it made a pretty sight for
tired cavalrymen.
"There, by thouderl" aald Wink.
"I've landed her here, 'coa I said I
would. The fellow that con ride her,
can linve her, for all I cure," and he
pitched the lead rope to me.
lllar.es was a beauty, there was do de
nying that, and old McNamnra our
eaptuin had his eye on ber from the
moment he saw ber.
Well, there's no use In describing afl
thnt happened then. It took six of us
to get a saddle and bridle on her, and
three out of the six were laid up until
for duty fur a week after It; and after
(hot she threw, one after another,
pretty near the whole company.
Nobody could ride her until .li b Smith
came along. He had Just been relieved
from guard and was tired, but when
bis eyes lighted on the mare, be brlght
ined up.1
he was a great lover of horseflesh. If
he was I parson. The mare was stand
ing Idle at that moment, as docile as a
-. kitten, and nobody in the world would
' have guessed what devil there waa In
ber, Tompkins drawled out!
; "Oct on her back, parson, and try
ler." , .
Mind you, there waa not one In the
crowd who had not tried her, and who
could not show a aubstantlnl bruise
for his temerity. Hut the parson never
caught 00 at all, and we all stood bock
while he bunded bla piece to a com
rade, and without a moment's hesita
tion fl walked straight up to the mure
and brgnn to rub her nose; and what 'a
more, she seemed to like It.
You could have purchased the whole
company fur a very small sum at thnt
moment, for we felt mighty cheap. We
didn't know whether It waa Jugglery,
or what It was, but tba fuct remained
that the nr.nre did not treat blm aa aha
bad treated us.
"Say, parson," bawled Wink Tomp
kins, "have you ever aeen the critter
before 7"
"Certainly not," waa tba calm reply. .
"Why?" .
"Well, I'm blowedl Btiya, there'i
authin' In religion after all."
While he was thus expressing him
self, Jeb leaped Into the saddle, und In a
moment mure he was riding around the,
place as easy as you please. Mares
single-footed, dog-trotted ifud can
tered, nud you'd have thought she was
a Chrlstmai-trce-rocklng-biirsc, for all
the Ugliness she showed then,
"Who owus her?" asked the parson,
"You do, Jeb; you've earned ber,"
aald old Mac; and lie walked away with
a scowl on bis face.
Well, Jeb was delighted, nud he lis
tened with amazement when we tuld
Mm what a circus we'd breu having. It
waa plain that he did not believe all of
It, and presently he led ber uway to the
stable, took the saddle off and tied ber.
There waa outy a pole betweru the
bones, and Jeb badu't got half way
back' to where we were sitting, wheu
' there was the worst racket in that sta
ble you ever heard, Youd hate thought
the rebs were after us for the
noise aiid tuuiulu The horses
neighed and squealed and you could
hear boards splintering and timbers
falling. Illii7.es had kicked herself
loose, laid up two horses, searrrd for
life half dozen more, and pawed oer
way right thruugh the back of that
plnco to liberty. She was pointing for
borne, too, when Jeb saw her.
"Here, youl" be jelled, and she
stopped and waited wiillo be went up
nd caught her.
Wo fixed up the atuble, but we passed
a unanimous resolution thiit lllntcs
couldn't tnrry there any more, so the
parson louk her about 80 rods n u 11 y and
tied her to a fence. Then lie gnve her
ionic oats, and you'd baie thought she
was the three graces rolli d In to cue she
was so iiilel; but It didn't lust long.
6he finished her oats, am! innitie she
got tired or thlivy, or mini 'thing Aiiy

Our company had been out on a sor
tie and we were on our way botne.every
body giving Jeb and Diazes a wide
berth, for she'd kick and bite every
thing In reach 00 the rnnd us well as in
tbe stable, when we came upon a de
tachment of rebel ruvalry between us
and home. They hud more men than
we did, but there was only one thing to
do, and that was to cburge and we did
it.
1 was abreast of Jeb when we got the
word, and I never saw anything made
of flesh and blood do what Mazes did
then. Jeb couldn't hold her any more
than you could hold a cyclone, und the
ran like a streak of lightning. Itf the.'IO
or 40 rods between us and the confed

out a scratch, too. Nobody ever mnde

grrntcM fiht mis tier Inn one.
We'd been out on a scouting and for
aging expedition nr.ri were nn our way
back when we had that sm to. Then
were only ten of lis. and we thought wi
hnd got past the point where we wen
likely to full in with any ribs, whet
we saw a full company of confederal!
cavalry come over the top of knoll
not a quarter of a mile owuy.
There w as no use for us to try to run.
for we would only hnve run Into 1 tit I r
lines, and there wasn't a man then
who wanted to surrender, so wt yelled
bnek and started to meet them,
We came together, anil in a second
we were nil mixed up.- They surround
ed us like flies around a honey pot. We
were so few that we could not keep
together, and every man fought foi
himself, regardless of the others. Still
everybody could tell where lllnes n
all the time, by the commotion she
kicked up; and when in a Hpht like that
one thing kicks up enough extra com
motion to be noticed, you cao bet It's
moving.
I got a bullet through my right shout
der and another one In my left arm. and
I was brlpleas: and Just then niv horse
got a saber clip on the side of his head
which sent him cru.v, and somehow, he
managed to kick himself out of the
melee before be dropped, nhirh he did
wltb one of my legs under him; but
I was where I could see the fight, and I
kept my eyes on lilnzes.
Just as I discovered her, I saw Jeb
Smith pitch head first out of his saddle,
and I knew that the parson was crone
for.
Hlar.es seemed to know It, too. She
had been wild before, but she became a
perfect demon then. She must have
known that she had no rider, and iwisl
horses quit lighting when the man Is
gone off from their bucks; but she
didn't. She only got wilder and'weut In
for veiigeiince.
She no longer paid any attention to
tbe borsrs, but she went for the men.

Then, when most of our men hnd gone
down, and when practically all that
there waa left for the rehs to fight nns
(hut wild mare, there was another yell
from the top of the hill, and I saw
thrrr companies of our own men com
ing to the rc.cne.
The Jnhnnli s saw them, too, and they
broke and ran, and as sure as I live,
Ulnr.es started after them.
She overtook the last man and seized
blm by the shoulder, drngglng blm
from bis hnrse to the ground. As he
Ml he fired his pistol, and the shot
went through ber heart, but she clung
to her prey and her body fill Ucn the
man who killed her.
There were only three of us left Jive,
out of the ten who went Into thnt fight,
and we felt almost ns hndly about
Marcs as we did about our comrades.
Poor Ji b whs shot through (he head,
and lever knew what struck blm. We
burled film and the mare side by side,
and there wasn't a dry eve In thecrond

. Census Supervisor J. U. I'outch, of
the New Albany (Intl.) district, hnsnp
pointcd two female enumeriitors In
his territory. One is Mrs. Kuih Kllcn
Funk, of HurriHon county, and the oth
er Miss Alia Hitter, of OrnngrviUe,
Orange counly. Miss Hitter is at pres
ent employed us a teucher in tiie pub
lic schools of Kokoiuo, and is un ex
ceptionally bi ight young woman, says
local report, sirs. Funk served as
enumerator when the census wns taken
ten years ago, and her work was high
ly satisfactory,
III speaking of the mutter, Mr.
I'outch said: "It has been demon
strated that woman can do excep
tionally good work ns an enumerator,
as she is ut all times pnltiHtuking and
careful, and her work is, as n rule, a
model of neatness. You will also no
tice that I hnve named a great many
echool-tenchers for this work. The rea
son for this Is, I suppose, duo princi
pally to the fuct thnt the schools close
just before the taking of the census
begins, and the teachers make the ap
plications In order to have something
to do during the vacation. I sent sam
ple blanks to all the applicants to be
filled out, anil naturally the tcuchera
were more successful than any others
In filling these blanks, thus securing
the appointments.
"l'rnlinbly about 60 per cent, of the
enumerators in the country are school
teachers. At leust this in so In Indi
ana, and, I suppose, lu other stales over
t lie country. It requires much more
care to make a successful enumerator
than Is generally supposed, ami the
supervisor is subjected to u great ninny
trials and much trouble In remedying
the defects, so thnt his position is not
the pleasant anil desirable, one that
many persons suppose."
