Fisk was D happy babc-a chubby,
roIv-poly little sucker. The rhcnome-
na Of his existence didn't trouble him
a bit, but simply titi!ated himas CON
tlnual Joke. How he had come about,
or what was his slguifcauca in the uni

misc, or Who was TO run the Ero Hal
road or populate Long Branch, were
questions which had no porcr to ruttie
his iniautilo serenity Of spirit. With
that 5agacity az to proycnderwhich has
always distinguished him, and which
seems to be ineepsrable from true mil
itary Coniua, tho Colonel in embryo
stuck to the lsctcaI tount rs his lmmo-
diato objective, and laid in coplous
sustentation Tor that robust physique
which 20 ably reinforced his mental
