He smiled, waved his hand, spoke a short word to Hairston Breckinridge, and hurried on. He passed the 2d Virginia, mourning its colonel Colonel Allen fallen in the front of the charge. He passed other bivouacs men of Rodes's, of Garland's, of Trimble's. "Where is General Jackson?" "Can't tell you, sir " "Here is General Ewell."
They carefully noted the distance they journeyed, and when they judged they had gone about a mile, stepped into the edge of the river and looked about them. But they saw nothing answering to Ned Trimble's description of the hiding-place of the boat. "Perhaps he was jesting," remarked Elwood. "No; I think he is too kind-hearted for that.

Jim demanded with ungrammatical haste. "You rough-rider circus!" Jack exclaimed. "Vera said the chap looked like you, but it never occurred to me that it could possibly be!" "So it was Vera, was it?" Jim smiled.
Elzey's Brigade's over beside the woods Virginian to the backbone. Trimble's got a fine lot Georgians and Alabamians and Mississippians. Here come some of the 2d Virginia Cavalry! Ain't they pretty?" They were. But Harris stood up for the absent Valley. "Huh! Ashby's good enough for me! Ashby's got three stallions the white he's fondest of, and a black like a piece of coal, and a red roan "
