Running Away OF a 3O-Month- Old Boy.
Great precocity showed a boy OF
only s75 years, whose parents, residing
at Berlin, had taken him with them on
a visit to Potsdam. One morning the
little fellow disappeared. Inquiries at
the depot found that the boy had
taken train to Berlin, the conductors
believing him to belong to some pas
sengers and allowing him to pass. A
telegram was sent instructing the po-
lice at Berlin to arrest the baby on his
arrival, which was done. The mother
went by tho next train and took her
little deserter back to Potsdam.

 DRIFTING OUT TO SEA.
Tha Steamer Sir Walter Raleigh and He
 Crew in Great Danger.

ThN Steamer Sir Walter Raleigh and Her
 Crew in Great Danger.
 LONDON, Feb 20.-A tug has arrived at Crookhaven, bringing 8 report of an accident that threatens to have serious consequences. The British steamer Sir Walter Raleigh, Capt. Smith, from Phila- delphia for Falmouth CT Plymouth, ar rived in Bantry Bay, on the southwest coast of Ireland, with her shaft broken in two places. The tug was engaged to convey her to port where she could re- pair the damage. Before they had pro ceeded far a heavy gale sprang up. The steamship plunged heavily, and finally the hawser parted. Efforts to get another line aboard the steamship were fruitless.
 It was decided that the tug must seek shelter. The last seen of the Sir Walter Raleigh she was drifting seaward rapidly. Her officers and crew are aboard of her, and it is hoped that, with the assistance of her sails, she will be able to ride out the gale. Her spread of canvass is limited, however: She is 8 schooner rigged vessel of 1, 934 tons burden, and her sails are more useful in steadying her in a blow than in propelling her.
 With the screw dragging behind she would be able to make very little progress and in the gale prevailing when she parted from the tug she could not spread all her canvass
 The steamer is owned by T. B. Triplett & Go. It is believed that seagoing tugs will immediately be sent in search of her. Before her arrival in Bantry Bay the Sir Walter Raleigh was long overdue, and her owners had paid the underwater forty guineas extra premium on her.

They would be such m army as the world had never seen--one hundred thousand trained men drawing annually five, n0. fifteen thousand men from England, making India their home, and allowed to marry in reason.

CHAPTER II.

CHAP1ElE II.
 It was in this transition stage that l came across the new draft once more. Their officers, in the zeal of youth for getting that the old soldiers who stiff fened the sections must suffer equally with the raw material under hammer ing, had made all little stale and un- handy with continuous drill in the square, insead of marching the men into the open and supplying them with slzirmishing drill. The month of garri- son duty in the fort was nearly at an end and E company were quite fit for a selfrespecting regiment to drill with. They had no style or spring-that would come in tirne-but as far as they went they were passable. I met May dew one day and inquired after their health. He told me that young Ouless was putting polish on half company of them in the great square by the east bastion of the fort that afternoon. Because the day was Saturday I went off to taste the full beauty of leisure in watching another man hard at work.
 The fat forty-pound muzzle loaders on the east bastion made very com fortable resting place. You could sprawl full length on the iron warmed by the afternoon sun to blood heat, and command an easy view of the parade ground which lay between the powder magazine and the curtain of the bas- tion.
 saw half company called over and told off for drill, saw Ouless come from his quarters, tugging at his gloves, and heard the first ''Shun" that locks the ranks and shows that work has begun.

EVENING CoLORS.
The Beautiful Ceremony of Hauling Do
 the Ensign of the Navy.

The Beautiful Ceremony of Hauling Down
 the Ensign of the Navy.
 A few minutes before sundown a bugle-cal sounded from the flagship, and the call was immediately repeated by the buglers of the other ships of the squadron, writes w. J. Henderson in St. Nicholas.
 ''What is that?'' I asked.
 That's Stand by the colors.'" said one of the officers.
 Two sailors came aft, cast off the en- sign halyards, and stood by with their eyes on the flagship. In a few mo- ments we heard bugles sounding again; for you must know that on board ship many of the commands are conveyed by few musical notes upon the bugle.
 A marine came aft and, saluting, said:
 Haul down, sir?"
 ''All right" said the officer of the deck. Stand off,"
 At that order the bugler of the Yantic blew the lovely call: Evening Colo rs."
 The moment he sounded the first note, the officers rose from their chairs, faced the colors, took off their caps, and stood silent, in respectful attitudes, while the two seamen slowly hauled uoWn Lne COIOrS3 bringing them III over the rail as the call came to an end. When the colors reached the deck and were gathered in by the seamen, and the last note of the bugle died away, the officers put on their caps, resumed their seats, and weut on with their con- versation.
 Removing the cap in honor of the colors is the common form of salute in the navy. When an officer comes up from below hc always lifts his cap in the direction of the quarter-deck: and all boys should remember, when visiting a man-of-war, that the proper thing to do when you go on board is to turn toward the stern of the ship, where the ensign always flies at the taffrail staff, and raise the hat. If the officer of the deck sees you, he will return the salute; but whether anyone is on the quarter deck or not, always raise your hat when you go aboard. The salute is to the flag, not to any person, and surely every American boy ought to be proud to lift his hat to the flag of his country.

HIS PRIVATE HONOR.

"You can't drill, you cant walk, you can't shoot-you-you awful rockies! Wot's the good of you? You eats and you sleeps, and you eats, and you goes to the doctor for medicine when your innards is out of order, for all the world as if you was bloomin' generals. An, now, you've topped it all, you bats eyed beggars, with getting us druv out to that stinlSin' Fort Ammorer, We'll fort you when we get out there.
 ''Yes, an we'll hammer you, too. Don't you think you've come into the harmy to drink heno, an clot you com p'ny, an lie on your cots, an scratch your fat hands. You can do that at home sellin' matches, which is all you're fit for, you keb-huntin', penny-toy, bootlace baggage-tout, 'orse-'oldin,' sandwich backed Sewers, you, (Ortheris meant SCOTS, which means pigs). I've spoke you as fair as know low, and you give good 'eed, cause if Mulvaney stops skirmishing-gets out O hospital when we're in the fort, lay your lives will be trouble to you"
 That was Ortheris' peroration, and it caused E company to be christened the ''boot-black brigade" With this dis grace on their slack shoulders they went to garrison duty at Fort Amara under three officers who were instructed to twist their little tails. The army, unlike every other profession, cannot be taught through shilling books. First a man must suffer, then he must learn his work, and the self-respect that that knowledge brings. The learning is hard in a land where our army is not a red thing that walks down the street to be looked at, but living, tramping reality liable to be needed at the short est notice, when there is no time to say: Hadn't you better? And won't you, please?"
 The company officers divided them selves into three. When Brander, the captain, was wearied, he gave over to Maydew W, and when Maydew was hoarse he ordered the junior subaltern, Ouless, to bucket the ten through squad and drill till Brander could go on again. Out oF parade hours the old soldiers spoke to the recruits as old soldiers will, and between the four forces at work on them the new draft began to stand on their feet and feel that they be longcd to a good and honorable scrv- ice. This was proved by their once or twice rcsenting Orthcris' technical lee lures.
 Drop it now, lad," said Learovd, coming to the rescue. ''Th' raps are biting back. They're none SD rotten as we looked for"
 "IIo! Yes! You think yourself sold iers now, cause you don't fall over each other on p'rade, don't you? You think cause the dirt don't cake off you weeks end to weeks end that you're clean men. You think cause you can fire your rifle without more nor shuttin' both eyes, you're something to fight, don't you? You'll know later on, "'said Ortheris to the barrack-room generally. Not but that you're little better than you was," he added, with gracious wave of his cutty.

you can guess. Only some goat in the drill judged 1t was behavior or some thing to play the fool on p'rade. That's why we drilled so bad.

Then he said to the captain: T struck i'm! sez e, an 'eard Brander whistle an' then come out with a new set O lies all about portin' arms an low the rip growed, such as you 'eard. I done that too before knew where I was Then I give Samuelson what-for in the barricks when he was dismissed. You should ha' seen is kit by the time I'd finished with it.
