the drollcry of the answer penetrated

great, and chorus of laughter as
sailed the walls of the rooms, severe

adJutant's clerical force, who were
driving qnills in the adjoining room,
and who instantly thought that Justice
had gone mad.
The phrase was adopted rs by-word
throughout the garrison. and its popu.
larity became widespread, but it did
not save Private Schultz. That warrior
was found guilty, and was duly sem
fenced by the court He was not sen.
fenced to be shot or hanged, but, to
speak in the vernacular of our enlisted
soldier boys, he got five and ten"
which is an abbreviated and familiar
way the boys have of expressing the
sentence, which read as follows: "And
the court does therefore sentence him,
Private Schultz, company b. --th in

five dollars (s5) of his monthly pay,
and to be confined at hard labor under

stammcring witness US ho cast his
eyes upon Schultz with please-for-
give-rne look that had its effect on the
court If not upon the prisoner.
The president of the court-an old
veteran who had grown gray in the
service, whose heart was not half as
hard as the strong lines in his face
arose from his scat and, assuming al
cir CT dignitY which tho twinkle II lis
gray eyes bclicd, addressed The wit
ness:
Private Gunn, this court is not to
lie hampered by prcvarication or half
answers. What we want is the uu-
vanished truth without Qualifying

officer. For three hours you observed

court that lie did net become iptoxi-

"Ilain drunk, sorr.''
The dignity of the court was suffer
ing. All the members were required
to hide their faces lest their apprccia-
ton Of the ridiculous might be Oh
served.
Recovering from the mrtl-provolt-
ing effect of the answers of the wit
ness, the major corrugated his brow
even more deeply, and TO the intense
amusement OF the other members Of
tho court he again resumed the attack:
do you know sir, when man is in
toxicatcd?"

piled Gum.
Never mind about any other per-

The 5,ooO-t ton American ship Roanoke,

the modern method of transportation
and, unless for towing purposes, no
