109 CHAPTER XII.
MY FIRST EXPERIENCE OF ACTUAL WAR, AND MY THOUGHTS THEREON.
We set out by the light of the moon. Our party consisted of a small force of Russian light cavalry. The officer in command was evidently well ac- quainted with our route, for he rode smartly ahead ^vithout hesitation or sign of uncertainty for several hours.
At first Nicholas and I conversed in low tones as we cantered side by side over hill and dale, but as the night advanced we became less communi- cative, and finall...y dropped into silence. As I looked upon village and liamlet, bathed in the subdued light, resting in quietness and peace, I thought sadly of the evils that war would surely bring upon many an innocent and helpless woman and child.

I was, indeed, quite alive to the national evils of war, and I will not admit that any man-of-peace feels more sensitively than I do 170 IN THE TEACK OF THE TROOPS the fact that, in war, a nation's best, youngest, and most hopeful blood is spilled, while its longest lives and most ardent spirits are ruthlessly, uselessly sacrificed — its budding youths, its strajDping men, its freshest and most muscular, to say nothing of mental, manhood.
