took ON with terrible agony of spirit. He
sat up on the edge Of the bed, and moaned
and groaned in anguish. He walked the
floor of the room, and uttered ordinations
of grief, one after another, and remember
his saying over and over again: What has

comfort him. and could hardly forgive my
self for not being more careful and consid-

"By and by got him into bed again, and
after long while succeeded in quoting him
down, until at last he told q story, and then

was the story he told:
"Governor, I'll tell You just how feel.
There was farmer in Illinois who had .
fine apple orchard, and there was one young
tree that was bearing its fruit and he was
anxious to know what sort of fruit it was.
Well, he had two boys, little imps, up to all
sorts of mischief, and one day they were in
the orchard sampling this fruit for them
selves.
"'The man had also wild boar. inn
ported, and this boar was in the orchard.
Seeing the boys he went for them. One Of
them saw him coming, and climbed up into
an apple tree; but the boar was too quick for
the other shaver, and was after him as he
lodged around one of the apple trees. First
the boar would snap at the boys retreating
legs, and then the boy, spurred on, would
grab the boar's tail, and so help himself to
keep out of the reach of the boars head.
By and by he sang out to his brother:
"'" Bill, Bill, come down here-come
down."
''" What for?" says Bill.

Jim.
Now, Governor, am in the position Of
Jim, and / wish somebody would help me

Still, we were not discouraged, and
Andrews and / joined a crowd that was
constructing large tunnel from near
our quarters on the east side of the pen.
We finished the burrow to within few
inches of the edge of the ditch, and
then ceased operations, to await some
stormy night, when we could hope to
get across the ditch unnoticed.

served to be digging or carrying out
dirt after nightfall. They occasionally
did SO, but the risk did not keep any
one from tunneling. Our tunnel ran
directly under sentry box. When
carrying dirt away the bearer of the
bucket had to turn his back on the
guard and walk directly down the street
in front of him, two hundred or three
hundred feet, to the center of the camp,
where he scattered the sand around
so as to give no indication Of where it
came from.
Though we always waited till the
moon went down, it seemed as if, unless
the guard we're fool, both by nature
and training, he could not help taking
notice of what was going on under his

turning my back to the guard. Could

fidence in my quickness of perception
and talents as a dodger to imagine that
I could make it difficult for him to hit
me. But in walking with my back to

tune, however, favored us, and we were
allowed to go on with our work-night
after night-without shot.
In the meanwhile another happy
thought slowly gestated in Daviss
alleged intellect. How he came to give
birth to two ideas with no more than a
week between them, puzzled all who
knew him, and still more that he sur
vived this extraordinary strain upon
the gray matter of the cerebrum. His
new idea was to have driven heavily
laden mule cart around the inside of
the dead-line at least once day. The
wheels or the mules feet broke through
the thin sod covering the tunnels and
exposed them. Our tunnel went with
the rest, and those Of our crowd who
wore shoes had humiliation added to
sorrow by being compelled to go in and
spade the hole full Of dirt This put an
end to subterranean engineering.
One day one Of the boys watched his
opportunity, got under the ration wagon,
and clinging close to the coupling pole
with hands and feet, was carried outside.
He was detected, however, as he came
from under the wagon, and brought

Spare Moments.
Maccahe, the ventriloQuist, was q great
practical joker. Several years ago he was
on board river steamboat, and, having
made friends with the engineer. was allowed
the freedom of the engine room.
Presently certain part of the machinery
began to creak. The engineer oiled it and
went about his duties. In the course of a
few minutes the creaking was heard again,
and the engineer rushed over, oil-can in
hand, to lubrcate the same crank
Again lie resumed his post, but it was
only few minutes before the same old
crank was creaking louder than ever
''Great Jupiter!" he yelled, F" the things
bewitched."
More oil was administered, but the engi-
neer began to smell a rat. Pretty soon the
crank squeaked again, when, slipping up
behind Maccabe, he squirted half pint of
oil down the joker's back.
