AN ARMY MYSI FRY.
Under What Name and in What Troop Did Robert
 Riley Jones EnIiSt2

Robert Riley Jones, a private in the ranks, aged IS years, is stationed at some one of the camps in this city Just which one it is, neither his father, who writes from Chicago, nor any of the officers at Camp Merritt seem to know. In fact, it is thought that Master Robert Riley en- listed under an assumed name. The only clew that Jones senior has to his boys regiment is the following extract from a decidedly dime novelesque letter written from this city to a young lady in Chi cago:
 "The captain in our troop is the most daredevil captain in the service. It was he who went out after some great Indian chief some few years ago, and, although he lost his troop, he broke up the war and brought back the chief He has been in the service twenty-four years and he has the crack rough riding troop in the serv- ice. He is always given the most danger ous frontier posts"
 So far Captain Jeffery, to whom the let ter was addressed, has been unable to discover any one with hair long enough to identify him as the hero captain of dan- gerouS frontier posts.
 The boys father is Sidney B. Jones, an official of the c. l. and l.. Railway Con- pany. He is very much worried over his sons whereabouts, but says that he will allow him to remain in the army If he will only communicate with his parents.

 The headquarterS of the club are on Sessions Basin, East Oakland, and in- clude a boathouse, dressing room with lockers and clubroom. After the sports refreshments were served and in the even- went on in the boathouSe At intervals the yachts and rowboats took the guests out for a moonlight cruise.
