A SLEEPING BEAUTY.
He Was Bright Enough to outwit
His Colonel and Get His Gun.

His Colonel and Get His Gun.
The Colonel. or "Old Daddy, as he
was usually called. had habit of
strolling round the camps at most I'M
seasonable hours Sentries had to be
continually on the alert, for nothing
would have given "Old Daddy greater
satisfaction than to have pounced on
some luckless one who might think
the midnight hours suitable for quiet
snooze.
Paddy BraRnigan made that mistake
once. There in the quiet moonlight
he sat. all unconscious of the Colonels
presence. his rife laid against the
tent. himself buried in slumber.
Gently the rifle was lifted from its
place. But some good angel awoke
Paddy in time to see the Colonel max
ing his way to the guard tent. Paddy
missed his rifle at once, and followed
the Colonel with the caution of
prairie cat.
Outside the guard tent stood the
wooden rack which held the rifles of
the guard, and into it "Old Daddy"
placed Paddy's rife, himself entering
the tent to call the sergeant in charge.
This was Paddy's opportunity. He
grabbed his rifle and was back at his
post in an instant The Colonel
brought the sergeant outside and or
dered him to count the rifles.
"All correct, sir said the sergeant.
Nothing of the sort. There is an
extra rifle there That l am certain
of, for put it there myself.
81 beg your pardon, sir, but the
number is quite correct" again replied
the somewhat amazed sergeant.
"Come with income with me this
instant, and I'll soon let you see what
mean"
The sergeant followed his chief,
wondering what was going to happen.
Halt, Who goes there?" rang out
clear and sharp in the night air from
the now wide-awake Paddy.
This was more than "Old Daddy"
had ever dreamed Of For moment
he was paralyzed. Then he marched
straight up to Paddy. gazed into his

even the emperor regards the with

the best paicy. as soon as some definite
undertaking has been reached in re-

that this attitude Is mainly due to the
fear Of clash between Germany and
Russia, owing to the latter's hostility,
lately Displayed. This should simplify

And then he added that even the for

all surprises and that there are cer-
tain disagreeable symptoms, notably
the Bulgarian agitation about Mace

Has Germany taken the hint? II so,
