Corporal, bring in the prisoner"
1t is June day at Fort Davis, on
the little Missouri river, and court
martial has assembled to try Private
Samuel White OH the charge of one of
the gravest crimes a soldier can be
guilty of in times Of peace-striking his
superior officer. Private White came to
Company b, 18th Infantry, from JEFF
fersOn barracks. year before. One
day he walked into "A recruiting office
i'll st. Louis and offered himself for
medical examination. The sergeant was
SurpriSed-the medical examiner was
surprised Here was Il man 26 years
of age-sound as a dollar-a gentleman
in speech and demeanor, and evidently
used to the good things Of life, who
was anxious to go soldering in time of
peace. He was altogether different
from the average material-so much
out of his line that the recruiting offi-
Ger looked him over and growled out

would be posted as deserter within
ten days
The captain of Company B was a
married man and had his wife at the
fort. He was an old school officer,
was cordially hated by every man in
his company. He appeared to take
a dislike to Private White on sight,
and it wasn't a week before trouble
came. The new recruits for Company
b had scarcely time to get the points of
the compass before they were doing
double duty, carrying a log OH the
shoulder or blinking in the guard
ri al
the officers knew and remarked among
themselves, the punishment was in
flicted for some trifing infraction, but
to ignorance more than carelessness.
Samuel White was the first victim Sc
lected His musket was the thou
sandth part of an inch out of plumb
as he came to present to the Off
Ger of the day, who was Capt. Carey
himself, and away he went to the
guard house as punishment That
was the beginning, but it was not the
end. In the course of Il month it be-
gan to be talked around that 1.-The cap

give rise to more gossip. One night,

three of his men deserted. Private
White was one of the Sentinels that
night. Indeed, he was the one who
gave the alarm In the first excite
ment the captain charged him with
conspiring and ordered him under ar
rest Private White protested and
sought to explain, and the captain
struck him with his sword. He struck
back with his fist--hence the court
martial. No officer has the right to
strike private soldier, but it is ex-
cused in him on the plea of impulse
No such plea can be entered for the
private. If he strikes his superior Of
ticer he must be tried and punished,
and no excuse he can urge will save
him. Capt Carey provoked the re-

to fall, but the morning of the third
dawned bright and clear. Private
White was not seen again until he
rode up on his horse, ready for the
Journey. Capt. Carey'S wife was
ready and waiting The snow was
knee-deep on the level and the wind
cuttingly cold, and as start was
made one of the group at the door OF
the tavern shook his head and said:

breaking the way and having often to
turn aside to avoid drift which could
hot be penetrated. He had seen to it
before starting that the woman was
protected against the cold with extra
blankets, and about once an hour he
halted to let her sip from the bottle of
whisky which the landlord had provld-
ed. He was respectful but silent. She
was silent, because she realized that
her husband had Wronged the man
who was ready to face danger and
death to place her by the bedside OF
her sick and suffering children.
At noon they had made but eight
miles through the heavy snow, but
halt was made to build a fire and
make a pot of coffee and permit the
woman to move about and restore the
circulation to her stiffened limbs. AS
night fell camp was made in a grove
on the banks of creek. The soldier
dug away the snow, bent the tops of
three or four bushes together aud
flung n blanket over them, and the
half-froZen woman was lifted from the
saddle. Then a fire was built, the
horse turned loose to shift for himself,
and presently the deserter had pre-
pared both food and drink. There was
anxiety in the eyes of the woman as
she watched him moving about. He
was paled and haggard, and seemed
ten years older than when the start
was made. 1t had been a terrible
tramp, and she wondered that he had
not given out entirely. One camp fire
would at least prevent her from freez-
ing-a second, twenty feet away,
would help him pull through the long
night. The captains wife wanted to
talk to Private White-to thank him
to speak words of sympathy, and, by
and-by, she mustered up courage to
say:

Fort you were driven to do what you
did. / am sorry-bitterly sorry-that

Prices Of Farm Products.

California agriculturists are adopting
a modification of the trust system to
secure higher prices for their products.
Combinations among the raiSin-grow-
ers and the wine makers have resulted
in an advance in rates for each of
them. Following this example, the
lima bean growers of Ventura and
Santa Barbara counties have formed
an association which plans to hold
this years crop for cents a pound, at
which rate they are willing to make
contracts with Eastern buyers in car
load lots. 1t is probable also that a
large proportion of the orange and
lemon crops will be disposed of on the
same combination plan.-Boston Tran
