the culprit who was caught away
from his command without authOri-

were at once c0niscated. As it was
not practicable to return the pro-
visions to the lawful owner, the Col.
would have them served mp at his

As a consequence, the Col. was
cordially hated by many ofhis men,
and many were the plans laid down
by them "io get even and circum-

ness, they generally come to grief.
One day a soldierof the regiment,
