THE HAPPY RELEASE                30O3
"General, these men came with me; they wait here
To take me back to jail. About those maps
I made for Lee and Jackson; like a fool
I took them home with me."
                             " Oh, that 's all right:
 You kept them safe, they'll help you mightily.
 Here, captain, this man 's free; he is engaged
 For public service. Find my adjutant,
 He'll fix the papers up. Major, good-by,
 Your orders will be ready in an hour."
