But first he produced Woodville's pistol and handed it to Colonel Winchester. "There's my antagonist's pistol, sir," he said. "You'll see his initials on it." "Yes, here they are," said Colonel Winchester: "'V.W., C.S.A. It's a fine weapon, but it's yours, Dick, as you captured it." Dick took it and went to the kitchen, where the big fire had just begun to blaze.

Dick then moved in with confidence, but a lightning blow crashed through his guard, caught him on the chin and sent him to earth. He rose, though still half-stunned, and saw that the confident, taunting look had returned to Woodville's face.

Dick, in the excitement of the day, forgot about the Woodville house and its inmates. Troops were already marching out of Jackson to meet the enemy, but the Winchester regiment would not leave until early the next morning. They were to spend a second night, or at least a part of it, in Colonel Woodville's house. It was the same group that ate supper there and the same army cook served them.
Woodville's Med Bot. SALVIA officinalis. GREEN AND RED SAGE. Herb. E. D. Its effects are, to moderately warm and strengthen the vessels; and hence, in cold phlegmatic habits, it excites appetite, and proves serviceable in debilities of the nervous system.

He felt no hostility toward the regular soldiers of the Confederacy, but he knew there were guerillas on their side, as well as his own, who would stop at nothing.

Woodville's Med. Bot. 598. SCILLA maritima. SQUILL. Root. L. E. D. This root is to the taste very nauseous, intensely bitter and acrimonious; much handled, it exulcerates the skin.
