own recogniZance. There was somewhat of
a sensation when Mays was arrested, but

this is not his first offense.

A Scientific Man FOOLED.

In western college, student, noted
for his laziness, used to clean the lamp
chimney by running his finger down it
as far as he could and twisting it
around. One day he carried the chin
ney to a professor and asked gravely
why the glass was smoked to certain
point and no further. The learned man
went into an elaborate argument about
combustion, gases, smoke and scien-
tific laws. When he had finished, the
boy said: "No, sir, you are wrong.
why is ii, then?" inquired the pro-
fessor. Because" said the student,
siding out of the door, my finger
wasn't long enough to reach any fur

seemed to follow. The colonel spurred
his way and jolted out in front of the
band, his adjutant at his heels. The
cadenced step and spirited music were
kept up until the hospital corps at the
rear of column was clear to the gate,
then route step was ordered, and then
by twos and threes and little squads
and parties the throng of escorts came
drifting back, by far the larger portion
veering OF to the right and taking the
pathway toward the barracks, while
long string of women and children, with
few attendant officials, kept the direct
road, nearly westward, that ran in
front of the main line of officers quar-
ters. Over at the guardhouse the little
handful of armed soldiers had stood
watching from afar the formation and
departure of the regiment. and now.
spreading their blankets, were settling
themselves for brief nap before re-
lieving the sentries now slowly tramp
ing their posts, and Merriam. after one
long look at the distant row, vainly
seeking for the bright light that used TO
burn in her parlor window on previous
nights when he was on guard. turned
into the Office of the guardhouse with a
heavy heart and weary sigh, and sat
himself down to look over the list of
prisoners and the half finished report.
The midnight call of the sentries had
started as the riflers marched away, but,
between the music and the cheers,
seemed to get no further than the postof
No. 2, and Corporal Mahoney had gone
to see if three and four were all right.
Silence was gradually settling down
upon the moonlit garrison, although
voices of women and children came
floating family across the dim parade,
and out under the spectral white flag
staff tiny sparks as of cigars could be
seen, and low, gruff voices were heard
in consultation. A moment or two more
and the sentry on No. was hidden to
call off half-past 12, and barely had he
done so, and Merriam was straining his
ears for the answering cry OF the outly-
ing posts, than second time the sentry
let loose his voice and challenged sharp
ly: "Who comes there?"
commanding officer and friends"
was the answer in Buxton's growl.
"Halt! Corpril the Guard-command-

the corporal went bounding out to ex-
anime and receive the party.
