the incident to the commanding Of
ficer, who Immediately took the proper
steps to have the youth discharged
from the service. The discharge was
three weeks in coming from Washing
ton, and during that time the young
man walked in his sleep several times
again. Just six weeks after he had
entered the army handed the young
man his discharge with expressions of
regret, and he left the post.
"On the night following his discharge
dropped into the Bohemian Club. In
the grillroom, surrounded by about
forty hilarious members of the Bo-
hemian, my young soldier, with sheet
wrapped around his evening clothes, a
candle held out before him, and fine
ly simulated fixed stare in his eyes,
was going through a sleep-walking
scene that evoked storms of laughter.
He was giving them a somewhat exag-
gerated imitation of how he had con-
trived to get out of the United States
army after less than two months with
out deserving or being 'bob-tailed,' to
win a large bet which he had made

besieged with inquiries about the young

of how extremely good looking the

surgeon on the following day and ques-
toned closely about the sleep walking
business. The subject seemed to be
such a painful one with him that ne
couldn't be got to say much about 1t.
When he was dismissed from the pres
ence of the commanding officer and the
surgeon they conferred for a while
about the case. and they decided that
the young man should have another
chance.
"Three days later I was officer OF

in my quarters at midnight, accord

the guard and visit the posts. l was
strolling sleepily toward the guard

the sentry, and still no reply came

direction, too, and there, slowly ad-

young soldier in his pajamas, with his
hands stretching out before him. In
another instant the alarmed sentry
would have bayonetted him. That's
all right, sentry l said to the man
on guard. and then walked over to
the young fellow in the pajamas and
again snapped him awake.
This about finishes your career in

then with a look of distress, he scam
pered off to the barracks. I reported
