"'Well. sir?' he replied. I have come to
the conclusion that politics in this sec.

politics together. l haven't seen a man

whole story Of his escapade, for he
couldn't keep anything from me to save
his life.
THE fleet surgeon kept to his resolu-

ings while in the west. but after the
war. when he had returned to Maryland
he again became an ardent politician. and
at one time attempted to run for Con-
gress. which he insisted was his legiti-
