Now, we dernot silYthat Bob would
steal ; but we do I say that many
things of value suddenly disappeared
when he WM in the humiliate vicin
ity, and whether true or false Bob
was always blamed for it.
Chickens and other poultry that
went unsuspectingly to roast at night,
were missing in the morning, and
all the owner knew wad 'that they
were not.' But it was known that
Bob played 'truant' nest day and
had a 'grand roast,'and notate believ 7
ed that he bought them.
As we mid, Bob played truant, of
course he went to school ; and there
he developed some of those qualities
of which we shall speak Ihereafter.-- ,
He could look the teacher in the face
and tell a "red hot' lie with the cool
cat impudence imaginable. Always
prepared with a plausible lie, he was
never known to tell the truth only
when a lie would , not !answer the
purpose. The ilrst - tbne that Bob fail
ed to have his gessons'+which was
very early in his seliool boy career—
the teacher 'kept him:in' during the
dinner hour to study thein and recite
during the afternoon. He will lock

pupils were out of sightj , Bob began
-to reconnoitre his position time() how

all the 'keeping in after 'school,' and
the thrashings he got did hot improve
him either mentally o? morally, and
so perforce was compelled to let him
'go it.' The end came at, last; being_

Mittrient • to the , House of ..Refuge,
in' A— ctty;on the score of inability
to control litiri any !ringer.
Judge heard and,,ifranted
their petition; and Bob was.number
ed with the transgreinnra. After re
maining there ,a year or two, his
"mother died, and Bob was granted
'leave of absence' to attend theft:titer
al, and front some cause- c ertainly
not of reform—he never , Was sent
back.
Inn few years occurred thtit mem
orable event, which. we 411..50 well
remember-411c tiring on .Eort iump
ter, and the breaking ou t of the Great
Rebellion. In one of thd 'first calls
for troops, Bob—to the tit btierable
Joy of all--enlisted and joined Co. K,
—th Reg. Pa. Reserve Corps. The
regiment was organized and quarter
(xi* Camp 'Wilkins' In Pittsburgh.
Bob was not long in learning all
that was worthknowing of the 'tricks'
connected WWI camp life. While he
NMI yet a llttle.'greeni in the service,;
an Incident occurred which we shall
relate. Bob lied beensent.in to camp
With other 'Unir recruito :after the
regiment had beta 4inma blue .in
camp.
After beidg duly examined and
swear lu; he cameo his company and
was . a43OlcUe.r. , On the first'plght in
I%rmAttteentrivatoNlliatheinuird,
an his way off 'down town:'
After' 'enjoying himself with other
runaways at the `Nrarietb:3,!lie went
with those who were 'posted' and
'knew the wpm' to the 'Bed, White,
and Blue' drinking ' saloon, where,
after indulging in frequent drinks,
they got the 'countersi g n' from the
bar tender, who always :had it, and
gave it to any soldier who would buy
a o:us of beer.
But when the' got tominp,Bob was
drunk all the way through, in fact
too drunk to answer the challenge of
the sentinel properly, and so a cor
poral was called, and Bob was drag
ged oir toward the Guard House.—
He made a determined mistance and
created quite an uproar. It happen
el that the Captain of Bob's compa
ny was 'officer of the day' on duty
then. Hi 'imProacfied to' ascertain
the cause of the disturbance. Said
the Captain: 'Take him along. If
he makes much trouble give Min a
taste of the bayonet, and if he don't
behave . we'll 'buck and gag'
pts they were dragging him away,
he turned to the Captain and said:
'Cap'n, if that's (hie) the way (hie)
yer goin' to to (hie) treat a fellow,
yer may (hie) . jist git somebody in
my place, (hie) 'n go home.'—
Poor Bob. He forgot he was 'cu& , ed'
in and was under martial law, but he
was compelled to 'cave.' Ile lame
out of the guard house the next mor
ning a wiser if not a better min, and
ere long found plenty of opportuni
ties to indulge in his 'ruling passion.'
No matter what turned up, Bub's
'mops' always had double rations.
And woe unto the unlucky peddler
who came into camp ; if he did not.
keep his eyes skinned he got skinned
before he left if Bob was atiout.
On Sunday, while the OW battleof
Bull Run was raging, the: regiment
received marching orders., Away
they were hurried-shipped in all
kinds of oars; ununiformed, except
blouses, old fashioned muskets, no
knapsacks, haversacks or accoutre
mounts of any kind. On arriving at
Harrisburg nes° were distributed to
the men, while' the train lay on a
siding opposite the city.
Bob indulged his propensity by
stealing a duplicate of his `drttS coat,'
haver&tek, ikc., which he afterwards
sold. He also managed to 'euchre *.
a womanout of nearly a ll all of her
pies which she .came. to sell to the
soldierS:
• On arriving at Washingtim, D. C.,

Although Bob could be generous
with Ills felkiw soldiera•when he bed
plenty, he did net hOtate to steal
from them whch an opportunity au
corral. Any. loose change lying
around their clothes,. unlets carefully
watched, was sure to be transferral
to his, and bready: Meat, coffee, &c..,
disappeared often, when-there was no
eat to blame it on.
One morning as I pa•ised up the
street formed by the double row of
tents of Co, K, I observed Bob come
suddenly tumbling through the 'lly'
bar : kwarils, clotiely followed by Jim
B—,, one , of 11173 meti, who Wit 4
swearing, strikingand kicking as fast
ns , tongue, hands and feet could go.
'You infernal thief, I'll show you
better than to steal my bread while I
am away on guard!' . said the Irate
Jim, and they fell to it in. regular•
'Kilkenny cat' fashion, tearlng,strik-
L
'Mg ild gouging, until a corporal
niun • with n guard of men and lures..
ted th and took them to the guard
house.
The guard house at this taint) wit*:
only a temporary affair made of mils
like a cattlepcsn, about four rails high,
arount.the gnard paced to
watch their prisoners..
About half an hour after this oc
curred I was walking past the guard
house and stopped to look at them.—
'Mere they stlfllndt t thc hot
sun, one one side and the other on
the opposite side eyeing each other
closely, and ever and. :mob shaking
their heads itt oneanother.menacing
ly.
1 stopped and spoke to them . ; said
Id 'You -are two pretty looking
chickens; what brought you to this
place?'
JiM spoke and said: '\Vhy .that
d—d thief, Bob, stole my loaf of
bread. lie's always stealing some
thing from me or some of the rest of
the mem
`You're u liar!' said Bob; and into
each other's wool they went again.
The guard rushed Maud after a sharp
struggle su ecoaled in separating them.
Just then a satiate which was going
on between the corporal with asi pcul,
and a Wild Irishman 'who was drunk,
and whom they were trying
.to take
to the guard house, attracted the at
tention of the guard, and during the
brief time which elapsed before they
turned to their prisoners, Bob had
given them the slip, and was steering
his course rapidly for the city.
Tiw officer of the day,coming round,
heard Jim's version of the atrair,and
knowing Bob's character, released
him.
It was very generally remarked that
Bob always lutd plenty of money, no
matter whether after pay day or be
fore it; and although a pretty expert
tuanifadator with cards, yet it often
occurred that the men generally had
no money left to gamble with before
pay day came around again, and of
course it must have come from sonic
other source..
There was not a house or planta
tion for miles around that Bolt was
not familiar with its owner and oe
cupants, and . while the rest of us
were living on , povernment rations,
Bob subsisted on the fat ofrhe land—
if it could be considered fat.
After remaining hero waiting in
vain fur the 'On to Richmond' order,
the division was ordered across the
Potomac to the Virginia side—four
mllis from the Chain Ridge—about
twelve miles than Washillgton,where
'Camp Pierpont; established,and
where they lay in'a state of masterly
inactivity—waiting for the rebels to
remove their troops from our front,
and quit floating their nag so finial•
dently and, defiantly in our very
face-
And there we held them (the webs)
like John Phoenix . held the foreman
or the printing offitk down on the
floor. .Said John: 'We held hint'
firmly down .in the floor, ourselves
being undermost, by inserling our
nose between his-.teelh.' And while
we held the webs, or the rebs held 'us,
the Wwtern arrnlo 'were. fighting
and winning some of the mast brit
liant victories..
But we must MA forget Bob. .
;line of the first incidents that moue
under my notice, was this: One
dark night Bob was on guard at the
upper sido of the, camp, which was
at first on the side of it pretty steep
hill, afterwards removed to mom lee
el ground. After being relieved be

The next morning he was at the
surgeon'* quarters under treatment
for (barium . y.lth great pain in the
helve's.
.In the meantime our' nutter had
rejoined us with erred' supply and
larger tents flir his eomtnoditles:—
Among other things he brought a
barrel of cucumber pick tea in the vin
egar. 'w • .
Bob determined they should be all
his own. Ho entered the ten t,bought
ri felw cigar', Ac., and took observu
tlons-r-hotieed that 'the barrel Was
setting. ChM up against the- canva.s.
That night after 'taps' he stole off
quietly to thesutler's tent; felt around
until he found where the barrel wag,
drew nut a couple of stakes thht held
the canvass hi the ground, lifted-A
up and drilpped it over •the barrel,
leaving it oubtide. After replacing
the stakes he:Cooly rolled. the barrel
off down Into the Woods covered it
over with brush and left it fur the
night.
The next morning. Bob had them
sold out at 25 cts. pee `camp kettle
full,' before the sutler had fairly dim
..
ceyereti hLs loss. For this offense, he
wagarrested, eourtmartialed and sen
tetiefslt;if forfeit two months pay,: nd
confinement in the guard hoase three
months.
This, to many, would have been
considered a very heavy punishment
and disgrace, but Bob heard it with
secret delight. Why, you will see
presently.
The regiment on going into winter
quarters had built a variety of tene
ments. Same had log huts, some
slabs inclined and / neet lug at the top,
so as to forin an inverted A shaped
but,eovered with sods, and others had
a foundathm four or five log-: high,
over Which they spraid their 'wedge
tents. All laid tire places lined with
flat stones and mud, until sheet iron
stoves were. Introduced; when they
pretty generally took the place of the
former.
The guard house was oblige, square
log hut—the largait In _ the (limp—
with a very wide fireplaceand a mud
And stick chimney. In this Bob was
confined, but he could not remain
idle.
He had noticed a short time„before
that the sutler bad brought on quite
a stock of red 'skull milks with yellow
tassels, such as many of the boys wore
in amp when off duty.
lie determined while in the guard
house to uppropriatOsmsury athem
as he could; so one night aft& he saw
the guard at the dont was bast asleep
—bothing unusual — he quietly stole
his ramrod and hull screw. He then
worked his way slowly up the chim
ney and (wily descended to the
ground on the outside. Cautiously
he made his. way to the sutler's quar
ters, and after reconnoitering ciirefulz
ly, lie took nut his knife, cut a large
slit in the canvass, put the bail screw
on the end of the ramrod, and procee
ded to 'lift' the caps off the shelves,
and bringing them to the opening
thus abstracting about a dozen,at least
all he could reach,went hack ,let him
self down the chimney, hid the caps,
and then quietly lay' down 'to slwp,
unr,l)servoi and undisturbed.
The next night he mounted the
chimney again pulling the caps up
after him by a cord which he had
procured, slipped the guard anti ;m
-ing MT some distance from camp bid
them away.,
(In the third day he determined to
make an attempt to leave both guard
