Estando una noche de guardia en-

propusO un tai Alameda una broma
ln2s pesada que todas las que hasta
ont6nces habiamos dado. Oonstitu-
y6ndose en- jefe de todos, nos mando
que nos envolyiesemos cada uno en-
una sabana, con Ia espada cehida por
faera y que le siguiesemos. Me opuse
20, fundandome en- que siendo eli res
ponsable de la guardia, no podia con
aentir en- faltar & mi deber. Pero
todos SO asociaron al cabecilla. anne
nazandome con mantearme como 4
Sanchp Panza 81 me oponia. Cedi
pues, = provistos de palanquines, nos
deslizamos como fantasmas por detras
de las tapias, para no ser vistos de la

-Oaballeros guardia marinas, 10
que Wv. han hecho es indigno. La
ancianidad, pobre 6 RIGA, debe ser
venerada y respetada por la juventud
Todo ell que falta al respeto a la vejez
venerable, ultraja en- ella las canas de
su mismo padre. Por cuenta de sus
sueldos CORE la cura y subsistencia
del anciano memorialista, hasta que
recobre gu salud, y los costos de vOlver
su casa al sitiO que ocupaba. Esta
primera falta la perdona el General,
por considerable una calaverada de
muchachos; pero 81 hacen Wv. otra
pagaran las dos q un tempo. Estan

lanquines en- las argollas que tenia
aquel pequenisimo edificio ambulante,

arrancar Ia casucha dc su sitio: sail

por gente disfrazada Y empez6 q dar
voces de socorro, dirigi6ndonos alter
nativamente algunos denuestos. Pero
nOsotrOs no contestamOs sinO con car

rnido internal con aquella especie de
carreton. Los vecinos ADRIAN las ven
tanas para saber que era 10 que pro.

Ella, nos dispersamos, abandonando

ell cuartel cada uno por su camino.
Ganamos nuestra habitacion sin no.
vedad, pero al dia siguente temprano
ell viejo di6 parte al General. Como
& las siete de la mafiana yimos entrar
muy serio al segundo comandante, 10
