But Messrs. Markley and Shields were
gritty. They stuck to the text man
fully, retraced their way to where they
left the suffering Ananias and found
he had been relieved. They were weary,
but sanguine, and after wandering

finally did reach the Preside, to find
that streetcar line actually did run
to the place, and to find further, as
heretofore stated, that the presentation
had been made, and in the whirl of

GOT LOST HUNTING FOR THE

They Wandered Among the Sand

feel considerable interest in Sacramento
and the doings of it's citizens-the for
mer, because this has always been his
home, and the latter because he has
been here so long in different official
capacities that Sacramento is as home
to him.
Messrs. Markley and Shields tired
hard to be present at the Preside when
on Sunday last a delegation of Sacra-
Inentans presented TO Battery c, Heavy
Artillery formerly Troop B, Cavalry,
Of this city) a beautiful flag, but the
fates were unpropitious. and when they
finally did get there the presentation
had been made the speeches had been
spoken, the enthusiasm had evaporated,
and everything was as dull as dogdays
And thereby hangs a tale.
The two gentlemen reached San Fran
cisco without dificulty-they had been
there before-but they took the regular
and not the excursion train, and none of
the Sacramento delegation were IN
sight. It then occurred to them that
the HTESlQlO was U4tICiy q AAeAAAAC
with them. They knew there was such
q place, but were ignorant as to its To-
cation. The only thing to do was TO
ask questions, and they commenced
with two innocent-lOOking expressmen.
one of these directed them to take one
streetcar line, and the other suggested
that line running at right angles with
the one first indicated would be about
the proper thing. Both agreed, however,
that any old line would answer the pur-
pose.
But Messrs. Markley and Shields re-
garded the information as somewhat
indefinite, and concluded to go to the
Palace Hotel, where the Sacramento
delegation was to meet. They reached
the hotel without incident, only to find
that the Sacramento people and every
body else who knew where the Preside
was had departed. The bell boy said
the Presidio was "over there" indicat-
ing the direction with a broad sweep
of the arm. He further volunteered
The record-union., 1898-05-24

the information that There were sol
diers there but thought there was no
line of cars running within a mile of
the place The clerk Of the hotel had
heard of the Preside, but did not know
whether it was in Shasta or Milpitas,
and the long row Of sleek, fat gentlemen
who were taking their ease in the host
lery were also ignorant Of how to get to
the much-longed for Preside.
Time was passing. The two search
ers grew desperate, and when cable
car rumbled by they boarded it and
hungrily went after the gripman. he
was an important-looking party, and
appeared equal to any question. Did
his car run to the Presidio? He didn' t
know exactly, but thought not. Did he
give transfers to the Preside? No, he
didn't give transfers for any place, and
he didn't know where the Preside was,
but thought there were volunteer sol
diers over there (nodding in the direc-
tion of the ocean,.
Then Messrs. Shields and Markley
left the car and took the one following
paying extra fare, of course-but the
employees on that car knew even less
than those on the one they had lett.
They did know, however, that their car
passed Black Point, but did not know
whether any soldiers were there or not
And at Black Point Shields and Mark
ley left the car. Black Point was de-
serted, but a small boy informed them
that soldiers were encamped over
there" and pointed a begrimed finger
in an emphatic manner. SO the seek
ers for the Preside followed the direc-
ton indicated by the grimy forefinger,
and after wading through sand a foot
deep, finally came in sight of two SEN
tries who were chewing the cud or
fancy while they walked their beats.
Mr.. Shields tells of the meeting in
lucid manner.
"One of the sentries suffered and the
other one didn't, and so it happened that
the one who didn't spoke first, and dl-
rected us to follow the road straight
ahead
But by this time the sentry who slut
tered had got ready, and he t-t-told US
ito t-t-take the r-road to the l-l-left
if we eck-eck- -spected to get to the
Pr Pre- Preside.
Say, a man who shutters always i'm
presses me with the belief that he is
telling the truth. 1t is such an effort
for him to talk that imagine he would
not waste his energy in lying. But
that suffering sentry was wonder.
He could give Ananias cards and
spades and win hands down, and here
after when I hear a sufferer talk will
carefully weigh his words.
'I told Mr.. Markley there was a wide
divergence between the directions indi-
