Why hla name Johnny That's n funny name Call em all by those made up Johnny Spy went to General and tho general said to was a corporal captain recommends you ns n good man lo go down Into tile enemy's lines to Information Now the southern shall we call You give him his name grandpa We'll coil him General Turkey Yes Turkey Gobble If you like eral Bee told Johnny Spy to go down dressed up like somebody else so that the Confederates wouldn't know him look what they were to do nud come back nnd tell the general The nest dny a farmer's boy a straw hat on his hend nud rough clothes und driving n cow got mixed up with the Confederate I know who that said the girl Alice was Johnny Spy You're right Johnny told them that his homo wus back of their lines nnd they let him go through Bnt er ho got In Iho rear of the picket Hue somehow Johnny nnd his cow got nnd wore not seen together nny more There were n great ninny peddlers following tho on both sides who carried baskets full of cheap and Jewelry that they sold to the soldiers nt high prices The ing after Johnny Into the erate one of these peddlers wag going selling watches nnd scarf pins he asked Tom Yes he was Johnny Where did ho get his watches nnd From another peddler You see the general hnd him plenty of money nnd he bought n whole basket ful Johnny persuaded n family to let him stay with them awhile and soon found out Hint they wore Union poo pie For he pretended to bo very bitter against the north hut there was a young girl In Iho family that Johnny look n shine to nnd after he old her that he a Un Ion soldier In disguise You sec ho wanted her to help him get In for ma tlon What was her Her name? Why I reckon we'll call her That's tho funniest name for n girl I ever Alice It's the name of n empress who lived nt Constantinople Does she live there Not very likely since she reigned some years npo The house this Union family lived In right In among Ibc Confederate nnd Johnny Spy and Kudos In found put a good ninny things for Johnny to tell General Bumblebee when he got back It was nn risky tiling to do for If they Johnny they would hnng hliu up by the neck 111 be warts dead as the Empress What's short ed Alice Indeed I'll call her this was very much worried for fear the Confederates would nnd out that Johnny a Union and sure enough one day Johnny found himself in trouble You scf he hnd been within federate lines before nnd one of tho recognized Is the soldier thought he did but when he girl nnd on to tbe boy Tho took Eudle whom they posed to be the boy nnd let Johnny o he liked Eudle was confronted by who hnd recognized Johnny Of course je said she tbe one be meant tmt having oh Johnny's clothes looked suspicious Besides as soon BB they suspected Johnny d spy they searched tbe room In be bnd and found the papers be bnd left there They contained Information about tbe Confederate So brought before a lot of officers and tried They didn't get together o and out whether she a spy or not but lo bang her Ing to law which I fancy la pretty poor Inw but very effective with persons They Died 11 so that they could hang her to orders and since they didn't like to nuy time In them out sue was to he hanged nt 10 o'clock tbo next day Oh my exclaimed Alice that It seems so but It really Eudle could get off by telling them she n boy nt nil but sho wouldn't do It tilt the lost moment she o give Johnny all the time conld to get But sho put off letting them know sho a girl till she brought upon herself all the danger of being a spy She let them put the rope her neck before she said a It Then they wouldn't believe her Don't hang she said I'm no spy I'm not even a boy I'm a girl The hanging was under tho tion of the provost marshal who I know what ufter You want to gain a little time till we cnn In- That won't do Interposed tho officer of the day who was ent I've been suspicious of this case all nlong I think we'd better send her down to Ibc hospital tent thero nro n couple of women nurses nnd find out about the matter Tho provost marshal gave In nnd they sent under guard to the tent When hoy learned she really a girl they nuked her she meant by masquerading ns n boy but she wouldn't ell them fearing Johnny hadn't got beyond the Confederate lines nnd sho might compromise him So they let go home Johnny ran In the wood nnd hat when tho Confederates found out they bad captured the wrong person and let tho right one go they would hunt nil over for litai no walked tho Federal linos for awhile then hearing the seund of horses be crawled Into a hollow log A company ot southern cavalry were going through the wood nnd some of them Jumped their horses over he very log that Johnny hidden In lie sure they were looking for him but nt that time It not known Eudle not Johnny and his fears caused him to mistaken over they were Just ns dangerous to him ns If hey had been looking for him because If they had found n girl loitering In Iho wood they might something Johnny didn't dare crawl out of the log 111 It Then be looked up nt tho north star
