CHAPTER l.
II was an odd, weather beaten craft
miniature ark which, on December
morning in 1906, pushed its ungainly
way to shore and moorcd at a small
island In the Ohio
From IL a dozen young men disem-
barked. They were armed with rifles,
but wore civilian dress which. rough
and showing the stains of travel was
out of keeping with their jaunty air and
gallant bearing There was, too. an
air of suppressed excitement-almost
of stealth--in their movements as, the
boat safely tied, they fell into line, and,
skirting the briary tangle that surround
ed the beach, went up through groves
and fields to a garden.
Here the company paused. Through
the vista of bare trees, a-sparkle with
frost, they could see the house 1t was
a low, broad dwelling, its wide piazza
! extending from wing to wing, like arms
Hospitality outstretched.
But the inviting porch, the smoke
beckoning from the chimney. were the
only signs of welcome. For everywhere
about the place were marks of recent
ruin. The newcomers stood aghast to
see havoc in every quarter, Shrub, lat
tice and fountain had been wrecked. it
seemed in sheer wantonness of spirit.
and through the open windows they
caught glimpses of the desecration and
| pillage that had been wrought within
doors.
The cause OF all this vandalism was
not far to seek. On every step. on every
garden seat, lounged a soldier, and this
mansion seemed surrounded, possessed,
by noisy, brawling crowd of militia
men.
The visitors had barely time to note
this. when they. too, were observed,
Halt" was the command of a sentry
on guard near, and dozen or more
soldiers rushed to the rescue.
In the midst of the alteration which
followed lieutenant of the militia
strode up with an air of authority.
What the devil is all this row
about?"
Two or three priva;es, the worse for
liquor, began noisy explanation, but
the superior officer stopped them.
who are you ard what is your bust
ness here?"
The man addressed was of medium
height. but so spare of flesh that he
seemed tall. Out of his long face, blaz-
ing eyes and white, prominent teeth
shone conspicuously He had not yet
spoken but his undaunted behavior and
calm air Of superiority attracted the
officers attention.
This latter repeated the question in
solently.
who are you and what is your busi-
ness here?'
The other advanced slowly and sur
veyed him in silence. Then:
For the first, sir, we are American
gentlemen; for the second-you are
right in speaking of it as cur business. -
Before the furious lieutenant could
reply a militiaman burst through the
crowd. eXclaiming:
Il know who they are. Lieutenant; it's
a gang O. the same sort IS gave us the
slip last night. I'll warrant these cal
clate 10 jine the others"
His superior officer smiled mock
ingly.

Close Second to American Tramp.

The American tramp must look out
for his laurels in the matter of steal
ing rides. A Roumanian recently sue
ceeded in lodging himself on the pipes
underneath a dining-car of the Orient
express at Costanza, on the Black
sea, these pipes affording a sort of
shelf about 20 inches wide. He left
his bed in Paris SO hours later. 1t
is remarked that at the end of the
Journey he was very dusty, hungry
and thirsty, and possessed a capital
amounting to five cents.
