little story that covers the ground fair

months In a small town in the northern
part Of the country where a regiment of
infantry was temporarily in barracks.

the officers from the colonel down and
found them, without exception, royal

also a curious ebb tide, so to speak, that

some OF the stuff they were dead. With

A few months after two brothers who
were in the turpsntine business called at
