cherished that old-time sense of
C’honor” so sacred among the
traditions of the old South, when
one’s “word of honor” meant
the organization of a company oi |more than Wealth or fame or life

with that other folly of Southern

is full of deadly peril by day and
by night. If caught, he usually
dies by the most ignominious
death under conditions that in-
spire contempt in the spectators,
to the end that swift judgment
and odious death may deter men
from seeking the office of the spy.
Over his supreme self-sacrifice
the epitaph is commonly written,
“Died on the gallows as a spy,”
without those added words which
justice demands: “Under military
appointment and for his coun-
try’s cause.”
It fell to the lot of my Tennes-
see hero to be assigned to “Cap-
tain Coleman’s Scouts” and given
a place of peculiar difficulty and
danger,soon toterminate.in death.
The appointing officer said it
was the “boy’s record” that gave
prominence and promotion to one
so voung. He had learned as a
country boy two lessons that
few men learn in a lifetime: to
fear nothing and nobody but God\
and to obey orders,
peculiarly bright and winnin
way about him, an utterly feat
less eye, a
speech, and the self-poise of
great soul.

years after the war he was a resi-

large affairs-and citizen of dis-
tinguished ability.
As shown throughout t h e
Davis tragedy. General Dodge
was proven to have been a man
of kindly spirit. Something
about the Tennessee boy evident-
ly touched the General’s heart.
Only recently he wrote at length
to the Confederate Veteran, pay-
ing long-cherished tribute to
Davis’s memory. He says of him
that “he was a fine, soldierly-
looking young man, dressed in a
faded Federal coat, an army soft
hat, and top-boots; he had a
fresh, open face, which was in-
clined to brightness; in all things
he showed himself a true soldier;
it was known by all the command
that I desired to save him. I
appreciate fully that the people
ot the South and Davis’s com-
rades understand his soldierly
qualities, and propose to honor
his memory. I take pleasure in
contributing to a monument to
his memory.” And with it came
the General’s personal check.
Of Davis’s arrest and trial he
further writes: “I was very
anxious to capture Coleman and
breakup his command.” - (Gen-
eral Dodge did not know, nor did

earlier endeavor was Middle
Tennessee, which in 1863 was
practically in the hands of the

Capt Shaw assumed^ disguise

as an itinerant doctor and bear-
ing the name of “Dr. E. Cole-
man” among the Federals and of
“Capt. E. Coleman, Commander

double deception being deemed
necessary to the prosecution ot
ins dangerous duty as a spy.

There is no mawkish sentiment

But, as with Major Andre of
