Reynolds entered the Sixty-Eighth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and was taken in the neighborhood of Jackson, Miss.,--two thousand miles from the place of Hopkins's capture.

At Andersonville Hopkins became one of the officers in charge of the Hospital.

One day a Rebel Sergeant, who called the roll in the Stockade, after studying Hopkins's pin a minute, said: "I seed a Yank in the Stockade to-day a-wearing a pin egzackly like that ere." This aroused Hopkins's interest, and he went inside in search of the other "feller." Having his squad and detachment there was little difficulty in finding him.

He recognized the pin, spoke to its wearer, gave him the "grand hailing sign" of the "Royal Reubens," and it was duly responded to.

The upshot of the matter was that he took Reynolds out with him as clerk, and saved his life, as the latter was going down hill very rapidly.
