How bIess'd the priceless boon of sleep.
From care rest benign and deep;
When nature 1ulls to sweet repose
And cures each i'll that mortal knows.

looking steadfastly at the young sol
dier, whose attitude was unchanged
and whose eyes were again fixed on
the distant group, as though in weary
disdain of those about him. Then
Connolly took half a dozen quick,
springy steps that landed him close
to the unmoved recruit.
you've two things to learn among
two thousand. Foster" said he, in
low, firm voice. sOne is to keep your
money, and the other, your temper.
I spoke for your own good prin-
cipally, but if you've been 1adling out
money to be spent in liquor. I say
stop it. There's to be no whisky in
that car
Nobody wants it less than I do y
said Foster, YEARLY. "Why didn't
you keep it out of the other?''
Because I never knew till it was
gone. How much money did you
give Murray-and why?" and Con
nelly's eyes were looking straight into
those of Foster as he spoke, com
pelling respect for sturdy manhood.
"a dollar, I believe" was the Ian
guild answer, "and because he asked
it." And again the lads gaze wan
dered off along the platform.
The switch engine was busily at
work making up the train, and brake
men were signaling up and down the
line. The dining car, followed by
some ponderous sleepers, came glid-
ing slowly along the rails and
brought up with a bump and jar
against the buffers of the old tour
lists ark assigned the recruits.
Somewhere up at the thronged sta
ton a bell began to jangle, followed
by the shout of Cali aboard!'
Tumble in, you men," ordered Con-
nelly, and at the moment there came a
general movement of the crowd in
their direction. The passengers of
the sleepers were hurrying to their
assigned places, some with flushed
faces and expostulation. They
thought their cars should have come
to them.
cts because our train is so very
long," explained the brakeman to
some ladies he was assisting up the
steps. "We've twice as many cars as
usual. Yours is the next car, ma'am;
the one behind the diner"
The recruit, Foster, had started,
but slowly, when in obedience to the
corporalAs order his fellows began to
move. He was still looking, half in
search, half in expectation, towards
the main entrance of the station
building. But the instant he became
aware. of the movement in his direc-
ton on part of the passengers, he
pushed ahead past several of the
party; he even half showed aside one
of their number who had just
grasped the hand rail of the car, then
sprang lightly past him and disap-
peared within the doorway. There,
half-hidden by the gloom of the in
terror, he stood well back from the
grimy windows, yet peering intently
through the swiftly passing crowd.
Suddenly he stopped, recoiled, and
seated himself in the opposite section
