Ward was at least 10 minutes telling his
story, and when he concluded every body

passed around and diminutive glasses
were set before the guests, each of
whom took small nip. As they drank
1t down lips were smacked apprec:a-
lively, heads were nodded significantly,
and every one declared it the finest by
far he had ever drank.
Now, General Logan was just a little
skeptical as to Wards story. 1t was ale

the practical general. and he made it
point the very next day to make some
inquiries The answers to the first in
