He didn't put it on, because Bleenoe,
didn't want lot of imbeciles coming
around and bothering him with fool
suggestions, pointed out that II the fix
lures were placed on the strip the gate
could not be opened from the inside.
"Oh, darn it." said Skundervet. You
chase yourself. I'm going to fix tho
gate in my own way-the way
started to do-the sensible way"
He was working on the hinge screws
which are eXaspcrating enough of them
selves. when he saw Kicking coming
along the sidewalk. He pretended not
to notice him at first, and when his
n4ighbor wished him good morning he
grunted. That grunt would have been
a danger signal to a sensible man, but
Kicking is the qualified opposite to a
sensible man, Skundervet says.
'If that gate was mine" Kicking be-
gan.
"Well, whatY snapped Skundervet.
"I'd just like to know what you'd do.
I'm simply aching for advice. Tell me
what you'd do"
"I'd nail it up and use the back ALLEY

two gates any more than a cat needs
two tails"
Then Kicking ran, for he saw murder
in Skundervct's eye.

CHAPTER V.

I followed the camp and took my
place in the ranks at Ogdensburg. We
went Immediately to the barracks-a
structure long and low and weather.
stained, overlooking the St Lawrence
There was a fine level field in front of
it, and a flag waving at the top of a
high staff. The men cheered Justify
that afternoon as they passed it, where
stood Gen. Jacob Brown, his cooked hat
IN his hand-a splendid figure of a
man. My delight in the life of a SOL
dier began that hour, and has never
left me.
There was a lot of horse-play that
night, in which some of the green boys
were roughly handled They told me,
remember, that all new recruits had
to fight a duel; but when they gave me
the choice of weapons | was well con-
1ent. | had the sure eye of my father,
and the last time | had fenced with
him, there at home, he said my arm
was stronger and quicker than his had
ever been. Indeed, | was no sooner
tall enough to swing a sword than he
began teaching me how to use it. In
the wood back of the barracks that
night, they learned l was not a man
to be fooled with. The tall. sergeant
who stood before me saw his sword
so flying in the gloom the second
thrust he made at me, and ran for his
life, amid roars of laughter. l he'd no
lack of friends after that day.
1t was a year of surprises In the
northern army, and D'ri was the
greatest of all That long, wiry, sober
faced Yankee conquered the smartness
of the new camp in one decisive and
immortal victory At first they were
disposed to poke fun at him.
Looks a little tired" said the SER
geant of the guard
"Needs rest-that's what S matter

The compliments he failed to hear
soon came to him indirectly, and he
had much to put up with. He kept his
temper and smoked thoughtfully, and
took it all in good part. The night

RESULT OF A PIN-PRICK.
Through 1t Information Was Oh
tanned which Led to n Great
Naval Victory.

Nelson gained his great victory of
the Nile through a pin prick. 1t came
about in this way, says Stray Stories.
Sir John Acton, then cOmmander-in-
chief of the land and sea forces of
Naples, happened to be in his wife's
dressing-room at the moment she was
preparing for dinner.
Lady Acton's French maid was also
in the room, and was so startled at re-
ceiving a letter from her brother, a
sailor in the French navy, whom she
believed to be dead, that she ran pin
into her mistress flesh.
Apologizing for her carelessness
the maid stated the cause of her sur
prise. With carefully suppressed
eagerness Sir John offered to read the
letter while the maid continued her
duties. The maid gladly consented.
Having read the letter, the COM
mander-in-chief left the house in
search of Lord Nelson, who had in
vain been seeking the French fleet.
He found him and impaired to him the
contents of the letter.
1t gave all the information the ad-
miral had so long endeavored to OBJ
tain.
Setting sail Immediately, Nelson
came up with the French, and the VIC
tory of the Nile was the result

after he came they put him on guard
duty-a greenhOrn, with no knowledge
of any orders but gee and haw. They
told him he should allow nobody to
pass him while on duty, but omitted
to mention the countersign. They in
stSucted him in the serious nature of
his task, adding that his failure to
comply with orders would incur the
penalty of Seath. Dri looked very
sober as he listened. No man ever felt
a keener sense of responsibility. They
intended, think, to cross the lines and
take his gun away and have fun with
him, but the countersign would have
interfered with their plans.
D'ri went to his post little after
sundown. The guard was posted. The
sergeant, with his party of six, started
back to the guardhouse, but they
never got there. They went as far as
Dri. He stood with his gun raised.
Come another step" said he, AN
I'll let the moonlight through ye."
They knew he meant it, and they
stood still.
Come for'ard-one ct time" said
Dri Drop yer guns n set down. Ye
look tired"
They did as he commanded, for they
could see he meant business, and they
knew he had the right to kill.
Another man came along shortly.
Halt! Who comes there?" D'ri de-
manded.
Friend with the countersign," he
replied.
Cant fool me-" said D'ri. Come up
here n set down n mex yerself t
hum. Drop yer gun fust. Drop it, er
| IL drop you"
He dropped his gun promptly and
accepted the invitation to sit down
This last man had some arguments to
offer, but D'ri stood sternly and made
no reply.
At II o'clock Capt. Hawkins sent out
inquiries for the sergeant of the guard
and his relief. He could find nobody
who had seen them since dark. A cor
poral was also missing. The captain
sent a man to look for them. He got
as far as D'ri and sat down. They
waited for him in vain. The captain
stood looking into the darkness and
