"Ihave heard so much about the tainted
field that believe could deplare an attach

well as an officer. You asked me if the guard
presented arms. He didn't but sweet lit,
tleman with an epilepsy on his shoulder ana
a smile on his face did, und asked me II
would not 90 into tent and smile. toid
him that we could both smile outside, when
he politely touched his chateau and left me-"
The commissary presented hard wooden
stool upon which she repdscd herself. "This
is one of the seats of war; suppose" she said.
"Oh. what hard lot soldier is objected to-

ence of a eolder's life, What is that for Z

on the field. Dear me-" said she, show cruel
