feiter kept dark and tlioui,dit he was all right, but a comrade
.i,Mve him away cither through fear or in hope of reward. Then
there were hot times for a few minutes. The rebel freed his
mind to the counterfeiter- I did not learn his name—all the
time pointing his cocked pistol at the man and cursing and tell-
ing him his time was up and he would have six bullets through
him, and then be kicked and stamped enough after he was dead
to kill a regiment more just like him. He made so much noise
and such a crowd jammed around that he attracted the atten-
tion of a rebel officer, and the counterfeiter yelled to him to
come in and prevent murder. The officer came as (juick as
p(jssible and drove the fellow off, telling iiim it was against the
law to trade with prisoners anyway, and if he had lost his money
the officer was glad of it. My bold steward of Marine Artillery
was pretty scared but said he had had nearly as narrow escapes
before. When he sold the other bill it was when we were on
move and he got off all right.

These, fallen heir to a hero's bright crown.
