An English officer was exchanged
into another regiment, bringing
with him the reputation of being
marvelously successful at a bet.
"Ah, said his new Colonel, she
won't get any success out of me, I'll
warrant" And he wrote to the fell
lows former Colonel, saying, I've
like him very much" "Glad you
do, old boy, keep him; we found
him too expensive q luxury" was
the reply. One day, at mess, the
Colonel good-humoredly said: Il
hear that you profess always to win
a bet" SWELL, sir. I am pretty
successful that way" II don't think
you would succeed with me-" "lIay

sir, that the old wound in YOUR
back has broken out afresh." "What

never had a wound in my back in

''lock the door. I'll prove it to
your own eyes" The other pro-
tested that the Colonel's simple
word was more than enough: but
no, the latter was excited and he
stripped. I've lost, sir" and
Brown handed over ten pound
note. A few days later came a let
ter from the Colonel of the other
regiment, saying: Brown has won
another pot OF money ont of our
fellows. Ge bet heavily that before
he'd been with you month he'd

blacksmith shop, into which we had
come to dress and dry ourselves
by the cheerful blaze of the forge.
The smith, hardy man-how re

for a moment laid down bit of
iron which he was working. The
iron had lost its glowing color, but
it was still warm, / think-in fact, I
am quite positive. There was one
of the boys who was a very nice
boy. He never did anything wrong.
I can seem to see him now, as he
used to cut up in school, and I'M

his stockings. / don't know to this

funny the minister was, while the

and "H'm!" and tried to look so
that everybody knew
