away the powers of motion and of speech.
The relief started from the guardhouse No
man through the darkness brought by night

the flashing of the elements blinded the vision.

of the danger of cutting one another and |
gave the order passing from one man to the

Then the order was given to secure arms and
to clasp hands 1t only by the handclasp
that one man could tell that he had a COM
panion.
Int the teeth of the tempest we edged our
way. Twice within so yards of the guard
house the little squad was thrown from it's
feet. All sense of direction was lost and moth
ing but collision with one of the low-lying
barracks buildings after ten minutes toiling
progress gave the little command knowledge
of its whereabouts. A half frozen sentinel
whose post luckily was under the lee of the
barracks, was relieved and took his place at
the rear of the hand-clasping column

of the island. Back of it along the stretch OF

many old soldiers are stationed at Fort Myer,
men who have enlisted and re-enliSted until
the sleeves of their dress coats are pretty well
covered with the stripes marking their years
of service. These old soldiers tell many stories
of the old days when the army life was not as
pleasant as it is to-day and when the recruits
lot was far from happy one. In those old
days assertions many and some of the
stories which the veteran regulars tell to-day
of the time when they were recruits lets one
know readily enough why some men under the
old conditions did not care to follow the flag.
Here is one story of recruit life in the army
20 years ago that is rewritten with no changes
of fact and with only a little change of Ian
guage from the way that an old soldier told it:
In the winter of 1883 | was stationed at
Davds island, New York harbor, a recruiting
rendezvous of the army. There were about
500 newly enlisted ones stationed there at that
time. The island is little affair lying fairly
low in the water and without any protection
from the storms which blow in from the east
through Long Island sound.
( January and February 1888, were months
Ol sunshine and flowers were peeping on the
sunny side of things before anyone could guess
whether March was to roar in like the lion or
10 bleat like the lamb. Early in the second
week of that March month New York was over
whemed by a tempest of wind and snow. 1t
was in that storm that Roscoe Conkling met
with the exposure winch caused the illness
leading to his death in few days 1t was the
worst storm known to the history of the east
ern country. The New Workers, however, did
not experience it's full fury, for their buildings
gave them shelter.
1T was left for few recruits of the United
states army the men on guard, to bear the
brunt of the blizzard and to face the elements
that gave them battle On the night of March
II the storm broke At nine o'clock the sky
over the sound was unclOuded, and there was
not a whisper of wind over the water. Within
ton minutes the black clouds had banked up,
and in another ten minutes they were shaking
ont their burden of snow, while the wind which
had sprung to its full strength almost without
warning was roaring down the sound from the
Atlantic At midnight there were great drifts
of snow against every obstacle which offered
tbe least resistance to the wind. Out of doors
soeech was impossible for the blasts tore the
words from ones lips and smothered them
with their howlings.
"On that night | was on guard as corporal
of the first relief. The sergeant of the guard
q few moments after midnight stepped from
the doorway of the guardhouse and was swept
from his feet by the wind. He saw what ter
rihle night was ahead of us, had already come
IN ms in fact and he sent man to the quar-
ters of the officer of the day to ask permission
IN take in the outlying sentinels or to give or
ders to them to seek such shelter as they could
find. The officer of the days quarters were sur
rounded with heavy evergreen trees and the

uttered word Back over the sand went
through the bowling and the ashing. We lost
our bearings and ran into an obstruction. L
traced its outline and knew what it 1t
was the hospital morgue wooden structure
not more than 10 feet square. We crawled
around it until We had reached the west side,
where the shelter gave us breath; from the
doorway of the morgue came challenge that
even the noise of the storm could not smoth-
er--'Who comes there?
THE answer Relief was yelled back by two
voices in unison, and We crawled into the dead
house. There, standing guard in the grewsome
place was a colored lad only four weeks a
soldier, and within touch of his hand, resting
on its zinc bier was the corpse of man.
Driven by the storm to seek shelter that
black recruit, rather than leave his post to
get the protection afforded by the hospital
had chosen in the blackness of midnight and
with wind and wave raging without, to take
up his watch by the dead because the place
where the body lay on his post which he
was under orders not to desert
Two army deserters convinced a certain
raw recruit that there was something more
than words in the saying he had heard
to the effect that republics always migrate
full 1t fell on this wise:
The recruit had marched on guard for the
first time. The sergeant in charge turned two
prisoners over to him with instructions to
guard them while they drove mule team and
collected the garbage from the barrels in the
rear of the quarters. 1t was the dead of
winter and for the first time in years the
channel between David's island and the town
of New Rochelle was frozen over.
The recruit plodded along after his prisoners
but, being green to such work, he kept close at
their heels instead of trailing along at dis
lance of five PAGES as he should have done
Guard and prisoners reached a point near the
shore directly in the rear of the commanding
officers quarters. There one of the deserters
seized an empty garbage barrel and an oppor-
tunity at the same instant. He threw the bar
rel over the sentines head like a candle

come with them if he chose, and they started
for a saloon in the outskirts of the town,
place known to them there to wait until 1t
was time to go under cover to the depot to
take train which made no stop for many
miles beyond the place of boarding.
About an hour before the train was due the
recruit told the deserters that he had weak
ened" and that he would go back to the island
to 'take his medicine" They offered OBJ
lection and their companion started for the
shore while they took back road to the de-
pot.
The recruit had soldier-making stuff in him.
He had been maturing plan all the time that
he had been in the saloon. The deserters once
out of sight. he made for a farm house, told
his story hurredly, secured horse and rode at
a cavalry pace for hamlet few miles. east
of New Rochelle He was afraid to go to the
depot to which the deserters had gone because
he feared that they would see him and suspect
ing his motive, would take to the woods.
At the little village to which he had gone
headlong on his horse, he secured the services
of constable readily enough-for there
a reward for the arrest of -deserters-and by
telling his story and by threatening the station
master with all the penalties possible of inflic
ton by the federal government, the recruit in
duced HIM to flag the train.
The deserters were caught, handcuffed and
sent back to the island.
The board deliberated long if not wisely and
finally reached the conclusion that the coun-
trys treasury could not well bear the burden
of the loss of the money represented by the
price of one rifle, and so it was decreed that
the cost of the weapon should be taken out Of
the pay of the recruit who had done his duty
by the government and had showed pluck and
understanding even if he had lost a rife.
There was a Disguised young soldier on Da-
vids island. He was not made of the stuff
of deserters but desert he did The channel
was still frozen and the morning after he
learned of the order stopping his pay there was
one solder less to answer Here" at reveills

SON OF INDIAN RAJAH
WORLDS RICHEST PRINCE A sTu.
DENT AT HARVARD.
Jaisingrao Gaikwar, Who Will Soma
Day Rule 100000 People of
Baroda, Preparing Himself
for Future Position,

Boston.-The future ruler of 5000
900 subjects and the heir of riches
that make the famed wealth of Midas
pale into insignificance, Prince Jaisin-
grao Gaikwar, the son of an Indian
rajah, is now preparing himself at
Harvard for his future position.
When the Gaikwar of Baroda, sec.
ond in importance among the raiahs
visited America two years ago, he
was so pleased with the methods of
teaching at Harvard that his last
word to President Eliot was that his
sons would be sent to finish their ed
ucation at Cambridge.
Accordingly, Jaisingrao Gaikwar. 10
years old, elder son of the rajah, is
now installed in a sumptuous suite of
rooms in upper Westmorley court, one
of the most exclusive outside" dormi-
tories.
The heir to an annual income of
$12,OOO,0OO. Prince Gaikwar, as he is
known, asserts his democracy by a
comparatively modest college exist
ence, and an attitude of good fellow
ship which has already made him
popular among Harvard men.
Among the many heirs to vast for
tunes who have attended Harvard the
future rajah of Gaikwar can probably
boast of the most fabulously wealthy
father.
To-day the maharajahs public rev
enues reach a total of $6,000,000

snufer and tore his "Springfed' from his
hand.
Then the garbage barrel was removed and
the recruit threatened with death if he
made an cutlery. He was forced to march at
the bayonets point to the shore of the island
and then to run the ice toward the main
land with his former prisoners at his heels.
When the deserters and their victim arrived
near the New Rochelle shore a hole was
Clipped in the ice by means of the bayonet and
the rife was dropped through into the waters
of the sound. Then the recruit was told that
if he chose he might return to the garrison.
He told his former charges that he preferred to
throw in his lot with them, for if he went back
he would be certain to get heavy dose of the
guardhouse for neglect of duty in suffering his
prisoners to escape, and for the loss of govern
ment property in the shape of the Springfield
rifle which now at the bottom of the
sound.
The deserters told the recruit that he could

year, while his private resources are
said to bring him as much more.
The education of the young ruler to
American ways is but step in the
revolution of the Baroda state.
Born of race which once delighted
in most inhuman cruelty, the gaikwar
of Baroda now seeks to give his PEG
pie the best that modern civilization
of the west has to offer. He comes
from fighting ancestry being de
scendant of that great Mahratta sol
dier,> Damaji Gaikwar. His title,
Shamsher Bahadur, was won by that
warrior at the battle of Bellapore, at
the end of the seventeenth century,
when the imperial army of Delhi was
defeated. The title was conferred by
the shahu raja of Satara in admira-
ton of his bravery.
He is fond of the theater and OF the
usual freshmen amusements, but never
allows pleasure to Interfere with his
college studies.
He declares that American prosperl-
ty is the result of one of the most
equitable forms of government in the
world, and he hints that the future
progress of Baroda VIII owe much to
the example which is held up by this
country.
While the prince could have half
