An officer recently ordered to make a
change Of station found that his lease
would not expire until several months after
the date of his departure from the post at
which he was serving. Having been ordered
away, the officer expressed the expectation
to the War department that his landlord
would endeavor to collect the rent due I'M
til the expiration of the term of the lease.
and asked that the office OF the adjutant
general represent him in his absence in
case such suit was brought. This Is rather
a novel proposition and it is not under
stood by the department by just what pro-
cess Of administration it is expected that
the adjutant generals office can repre-
sent an officer in a civil suit. Where an
officer needs the services OF an attorney
to defend him in a case connected with his
public duties, same will be arranged for
through the adjutant generals office with
the Department of Justice. However, the
case under consideration was not Of a
public nature but had to do entirely with
the officers private life. lie had leased
a house for a fixed term and is responsible
for the rent of that term. whether he oc-
cupied the house or not, unless the lease
provides otherwise. 1t is recognized that it
is a hardship on an officer to be called
upon to pay rent for a house which he has
been forced to abandon through military
orders, but this hardship is one which the
law does not recognize. The officer will,
therefore,, be compelled to pay the balance
of the rent or hire an attorney to contest
the rights of the landlord.

CHAPTER XIV.

Walter, by advice of Mr.. Pusher,
bought q ticket to Cleveland. There was
resident agent In this city, and a de-
pository of books published BY the firm.
As Walter would be unable to carry with
him as large supply Of books as he
needed be was authorized to send to the
Cleveland agency when he got out, and
the books would be sent him by express.
"I will give you a letter to Mr.. Greene,
our agent In Cleveland" said Mr.. Pusher,
"and you can consult him as to your best
field of operations"
Walter went downstairs. and emerged
into the street. He had no particular
motive for remaining in New York, and
felt eager to commence work. so he
bought through ticket to Cleveland, via
Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Though he
had not much money to spare, he deter
mined not to neglect the opportunity he
would have of seeing this great natural
wonder, but to stop over a day In order
to visit the falls.
He selected comfortable seat by
window, and waited till the train was
ready to start. He realized that he had
engaged In quite large enterprise for a
boy of fifteen who had hitherto had all
his wants supplied by others. He was
about to 20 a thousand miles from home
to earn his own living-in other words,
to paddle his own canoe. But he did not
| feel In the least dismayed. He was am
bilious and enterprising. and he felt con-
fdent that he could earn his living as well
as other boys of his age He had never
been far from home, but felt that he
should enjoy visiting new and unfamiliar
scenes. So he felt decidedly cheerful and
hopeful as the cars whirled him out Of
the depot, and he commenced his western
journey.
Walter put his strip Of railway tickets
into his vest pocket, and his pocketbook,
containing the balance of his money, into
the pocket of his pantaloons. He wished
to have the tickets at hand when the con-
ductor came round. He sat alone at first.
but after while a lady got in who rode
thirty miles or more. and then got out.
A little later a young man passed through
the cars, looking about him on either side.
He paused at Walters seat, and inquired,
els this seat taken?"
"No. SIR" said Walter.
''Then. with your permission, l will
take it." said the stranger. '-Tiresome
