three hours before and he had escaped from
Fort Smelling and was just starting In to
enjoy himself. He was atop of one of the
instruments of torture that are used in
restaurants to keep people from eating too
long, in one of the all-night places on Wa

were listening to him while he put a few
Spanards and a beefsteak out Of the way.
The cashier Of the place was interested in the
warrior. and moved up close enough to listen.
When he had finished the man Of war asked
for his bill. The cashier felt that some
rifce ought to be made for the patriot. who
apparently had suffered much and earned lit
tie.
''ThatH be all right" he said, motoning
for the soldier to put away the purse he
was pulling out.
Thanks" said the warrior but he opened
the pocketbook and produced a roll Of bills.
