got up and dressed them selves, thinking

ened and they could not get into the
house. One of the soldiers did leave, but
the other was more persistent and seemed
determined to get in. Mrs. Ross then

Just got into the house when they ar
rived. MIR. Ross Immediately put him
out quicker than he got in and escorted
him part way to the fort. Mr.. Ross went

military medicine to cure him of such
antics in the future will be duly admin
istered In the regulation form.
