look back now no w says saya ME Ur 1 I can n see that tha t I must have been a subject of ot envy to Tad for by that time I had become an horseman horneman could blow a bugle bule bU le beat a drum and swagger swagler in to toe true tru e soldier style The men hod had pre presented sen ted me with a roan mustang called Pompey Po that had formerly been rid ridden den te n by General Mosby Moaby the guerilla and an d on this I cavorted around until Tad could co uld stand it no longer lODger and persuaded a cavalryman ac to lend him hla hie hi mount tot for fora tota a ride The horse had ha a
