Doherty was drilling with his squad of
recruits IN London. Doheriy was nearly six
feet two inches in hight. and at that time
the Sergeant Major was man whose hight
was only five feet four inches. On this day
he approached the squad looking sharply
about him for some fault TO find.
All the men squared up except Doherty,
and the Sergesnt-Nsjor at once accosted
him: y 81
Head up there, mani" called he. Do
herty raised his head slightly.
"Up higher, sir"
The head was raised again. Then the
Sergeant Major managed, by standing on his
toes, to reach Dohertys chin, and he poked
it higher with the remark:
"That's better. Dent let me see your
head down again." ~
By this time everybody was interested at
seeing Doherty staring away above the
Sergeant Majors head, when voice from
above said, in rich brOgue:
"Am / to be always like this, Sergeant
Major?"
Yes, sir"
"Then I'll say good-by to ye, Sergeant

Well, that was what kept puzzling me
until tie Captain told me-

The Captain learned from questioning
him that the men we had been In pur-

"In routing out the troop the absence
of myself and jim was discovered, and
from Jims partner it was learned that
we had gone foraging up to the big
house. Ii never entered the Captain s

"The Captain left the Lieutenant
with a part Of the company to watch
the front of the house. He himself was
leading the rest of the troops to posi-
ton in the rear when he saw them bring
inc us out. He then realized the scrape
we were in and planned his surprise. 1t

Ia chapter two the lovers had correspond

The Habit of Order,

"Ilearned in the army" said an old soldier,
cone habit that has clung to me ever since,
and that has been useful in many ways, and
that is the habit Of order. For example: For
obvious reasons it was desirable for soldier
to have his belongings where he could find
them without trouble or loss of time. Oh
course he was often spared any bother on this
score by slee ping in his clothes; but in times
of comparative quiet, when he was in camp
and slept in a tent, and uudressed himself
nights when he went TO bed, he formed the
habit of arranging his clothes as he took
them off so that he could lay hands upon
them in the dark with certainty in the order
in which be wanted to put them on.
