CASTLES IN THE AIR. With frescoes and costly gildings. With tapestries soft and rare, I have furnished those noble buildings— My castle» in the air. But I turn from the halls that glitter And sparkle with every gem. For I know that his lot is bitter Who tries to live in them. —Barry Romaine in Ladies’ Home Journal. THE SCOUT’S RIDE. Christinas day, 1862, fotind the Army of the Potomac in winter quarters near Falmouth, Va., writes Major George F. Williams in The Rider and Driver. With that elasticity of spirit so characteristic of the veteran soldier, the Union troops had already recovered from the effects of that terrible battle at Fredericksburg, when the several corps were buffeted by Lee's guns on St. Mary’s Heights. Many a familiar face was missing from the ranks, but convalescents were rapidly arriving from the hospital, and the army was preparing for its approaching spring and summer campaign, which ended at Gettysburg. While his staff was exchanging Christmas greetings soon after reveille General Hooker summoned to his pres­ ence Jim White, one of the headquarters scouts. “White,” said the general, “I learn from Washington that it is believed that the rebs contemplate a movement through the Loudon valley. You must go and ascertain if this is true." “All right, general,” replied the scout, with a brief salute as he turned to leave the tent. “What route will you take?” asked the general. “I shall go by the Warrenton road and leave our lines from the pickets of General Sykes' regulars. From Warren­ ton to Aldie gap is a day's ride, and then I will be in the valley.” “I hope to see yon then in five days.” “If I get back at all, sir, you will see l ie on New Year's eve. It can’t be done any quicker.” "Very well. Go and get your pass.” It was a great disappointment for Jim White, this being summoned for danger­ ous duty on Christmas day, for he had intended being one of the guests of a comrade who had received a fat turkey from home. But, putting aside all thought of the proposed festivity, Jim got his pass for the picket line, and sad­ dling his horse rode away from head­ quarters. Reaching the little village of Aldie on the afternoon of the second day, Jim rode through the gap as the setting sun began to gild the mountain tops. Dressed in faded butternut, the usual costnme of a Virginia fanner, the scout had met with no adventure, and he was looking forward to a speedy termination to his errand. The horse Jim rode was a remarkable animal. Possessing good blood and ac­ tion. it nevertheless wus rather uncouth in appearance. Its coat was very rough, and as the scout seldom used the curry­ comb, the brute did not look like a fast one. Jim, however, knew the good qual­ ities of his beast, for they had often been proved in critical moments. Always adopting the character of a Virginia farmer, Jim's shaggy horse aided in the deception, and enly those who knew his ri al character would recognize a famous scout in the queer picture he made in the saddle. “Seems to me." said the scout, solilo­ quizing, “those people in Washington are always finding mare's nests. Here I am in the Loudon and not a reb irj sight." As he uttered the words, Jim came to another road which crossed the one he had been following. In an instant he discovereel the approach of a Confederate cavalry patrol. Accustomed to such jierils. Jim very coolly checked his steeel and waited f< >r the little party. "Whar yeou cum from?" demanded the cavalry leader as he and his men rode up. "Bin down in Aldie," drawled Jim. “Went to see how things looked down thar.” “B'long to tlio army?" “Well, not exactly, though I've done my share toward thinning out the Yanks.” “Oil, then you are one of Mosby's men?” “Yaae.” “And whar are yeou going?” “Up by the way of Ashby gap. Prom­ ised to be in Martinsburg tomorrer." “Is that the road to Aldie?” "Yaas. It’s the way I've come." “Well, good day; we must get through the gap tonight." "Yeou can do it easy. There’s no Yanks this side of Warrenton." “Thanks.” And then the patrol proceeded. Jim having mentioned Ashby gap wa< com­ pelled to take the road just left by ths Confederates, for nnless he did so he knew their suspicions might be aroused. Thanking his lucky stars for getting by­ them so easily. Jim supposed he had es­ caped. He had not yt i got out of sight, however, when he heard one of the men say: “ 'Pears to me. sargint, that fellow's a Yank. Mebbe he's a scout." Jim White dug his spurs into bis horse's flanks. The animal started off on a gallop. Having got so good a start, the scout decided to risk everything by instant flight. The rapid reverberations of his horse's hoofs on the frozen earth lietrayed his purpose, and the patrol was soon thundering in pursuit aft< r him. Jim knew that he was in danger of being shot, hut as he was also aware that the aim of galloping horsemen is always very uncertain he entertained very little fear on that score. To him capture now meant certain death at tlie end of a rope >-wnng over the convenient trunk of a tree. Unless he could outstrip his pur­ suers his career as a Union scout was at an end. On and on rode the fugitive trout ami ius pursuers, the latter occasionally giv­ ing voice to the yell so often heard from Confederate throat*. Gradually the dis­ tance between Jim and the p.trol wi­ dened, and it seemed tolerably clear that ths scout would ultimately escape by the superior speed of his horse. Z Gieefuny looking up the straight road !ha‘le^2?,he8“I'. Jtm's heart sudden­ ly stopped beating, for he had «-^t dis­ covered the approach of another body of horsemen. His sharp eyes told him that the newcomers were enemies. He had apparently fallen into a trap. But Jim White would never have suc­ ceeded as a scout had his wits been less sharp. He had been in similar straits before, yet had escaped. By a sudden twist of his rein he compelled the animal tinder him to make a bolt to the right, and almost at the same instant the horse made a leap over the stone fence. Then, stretching out on a furious gallop, his steed was soon crossing the field of snow strewn stubble. Both of the Confederate patrols fol- lowed, but as they w’ere delayed in get­ ting over the fence Jim had meantime reached the other side of the field, his horse leaping a wide ditch in his stride. Two or three carbines were emptied at him as the horse rose from the leap, but all the bullets went wide of their mark. It was now a test of speed anti endur­ ance, and Jim had again a sanguine hope of escape. H«> knew the valley well, and as he rode gallantly forward the thought entered his busy brain that on the other side of a small wood he was approaching there was a road leading toward the River Potomac. He also remembered that a mile or two below there was a bridge across a narrow creek, and he at once formed the plan by which he finally eluded his pursuers. It took only a few seconds to enter the wood and dash through it. On reaching the road he darted off again, being fully a mile ahead when the Confederates too!: up his trail. In less than 10 seconds Jim h..d reached the bridge, it being just be­ yond a sharp turn in the road, thus shut­ ting him out of the sight of the united patrols. Suddenly reining in, he dismounted ■ and led his horse under the bridge. Once there, he covered the animal's nose with his hat to check its labored breathing and ordered it to kneel. The command was promptly obeyed by the docile steed, it seeming to recognize its master's peril. Standing there, ready for any emergency, the scout calmly waited, hearing the ’ sharp clatter of the Confederates as they rapidly approached. Nearer and nearer came the thundering hoofs, and a mo­ ment later they rattled on the bridge. The traine«! and intelligent animal gave no sign of its presence, and in a few min­ utes the pursuing party was out of sight and hearing. Then Jim returned to the road ami galloped away up the valley. He reached Aldie gap late in the night, and passing through without challenge bivouacked in a wood near the Center­ ville road. He reached General Hooker on New Year's eve and made his report, and thus it was that Jim White's shaggy but fleet steed saved him from capture and death.—True Flag. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION.
