tains the generative organs of the female 
animal being trapped is the greatest 
lure. The advantage of this attractor is 
that more males are taken than females, 
thus assuring propagation stock for the 
next year. At this time of the year 
the males are great travelers, covering 
miles of territory in a night, while the 
females stay even closer than usual to 
their dens. Most trappers employ the 
musk of various animals as a base, or 
the organs may simply be preserved in 
alcohol. 
Summing up, the art of trapping is 
not in being able to skillfully secrete a 
trap in a set designed for the animal’s 
undoings, but in having a logical reason 
for placing the trap in the manner and 
location used.

(continued from page 67) 
“That’s what the court-martial did not 
find out,” he replied. 
“Johnnie,” I resumed, “do you remem- 
ber the advice I gave you four years ago 
to keep out of the Southern army; and 
said that you were pursuing a shadow?” 
“Yes,” he answered, “I remember very 
well; but I am more of a rebel now than 
I was then; I have enlisted for the war, 
and I will stick to the end if I am not 
hung.” 
He exhibited some anger when I sug- 
gested that he would do better by taking 
the oath of allegiance and play quits. 
He was the same old lovable Johnnie; 
once having decided on a course nothing 
could swerve him from it, right or wrong. 
After a little general conversation I 
left him with a heavy heart, and as I 
turned to go, caught a glimpse of the 
garrison flag within sight of which we 
had so often fished as boys, and clasping 
his hand, I pointed to Old Glory proudly 
waving from the mast-head. I think he 
understood, for as he turned to go I saw 
his chin quiver, and a tear glistened on 
his eyelid, as with bent head he entered 
the prison door. 
It may be as well to say, before dis- 
missing Johnnie from this narrative, 
which I do reluctantly, that shortly 
afterward he was transferred to a mili- 
tary prison at the capes of the Chesa- 
peake, where he remained until the close 
of the war. The next, and last time 
that I saw Johnnie was in New York 
City soon after the war. But he was not 
the old light-hearted debonair Johnnie. 
He was quiet, reserved and lacked ani- 
mation. He thought the world had played 
him false, though he did not complain; he 
had played the game and lost, but did not 
repine; he was a good quitter. 
His story was a sad one. He served 
his time with the Maryland Guard, and 
when arrested in Baltimore as a spy, he 
was a lieutenant in Colonel Moseby’s cav- 
alry that operated along the Potomac. 
He was sent to Baltimore to solicit funds 
to purchase horses, and was fairly suc- 
cessful, having collected some Five thou- 
sand dollars, which he deposited in a 
Baltimore bank, subject to his order. 
When he was finally released from 
prison he found that his rascally broth-
