as zorro buratlYe DETAIL. g.:
e The siXty-siX pr1vates Of the rearguard'
were divided into two watches of thirty.
three men each. One. watch was to guard
the yards for twenty-faur hours, the other;
the next tWenty+foUr and::so.o until the.
entire force was Withdrawn. Each watch,
waSdigfded into three details of eleven
and four of. during the twenty-fOlr. Or
ders were beyed to the letter during the:
daylight hours. THE .sentrles paced their:
posts, kee ping their eyes open for invaders:
and; conducted themselves in, the most:
s0ldierlike manner. II was different at
night. According to the charges upon
wfich the couTt-martfal will be based.
large holes were pun ched in. the articles of

Twas then that in ones and twOs the
boys stole forth to tell the girls how much.
they loved them. To- do it they had TO.
pass tha seBtrfes, They did. How they
did will come out at the court martial.
Before that interesting. event can come of:
however, It has been pretty we'll estab-:
Hshed how the exits were: effected. and:
how; when. tile uniformed 'woeers hadDut-;
stayed the moon, they re-entered CAMP.
They dfd:it by .connivance:of. some of the

duty they Teciprocated. It.. was "a clear
case of 'If* l see my :girl tonight you can
get through the line :en a similar GRAND
Tomorrow night when I'm: on .wateh."
: OF course. all the rear guard was notsin .
this arrangement-only ths particularly
ffirtatiOus. They had a. good thine for two
or. three days and the most OF them were
getting along swimmingly when the first
blow fefl, Success had made some of: the hi.
careless. They talked: their vI0 latiOn of.
orders around ana it came TO the ears Of
Captain Q'Neill. He kept"a sharp lookout
for their especial benefit and war rewarded,
for his vigilance by the capture of several.
of the young men the succeeding night.
They were placed In the guardhoUse.
After that tie sensries were changed and
there was III more of it,. q: -. 80.
