was time to go under cover to the depot to
take a train which made no stop for many
miles beyond the place Of boarding.

his story hurriedly, secured horse and rode at
a cavalry pace for a hamlet a 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 a constable readily enough-for there was
a reward for the arrest OF deserters-and by
telling his story and by threatening the station
master with all the penalties possible OF inhic-
ton by the federal government, the recruit In
duced him to flag the train.
The deserters were caught, handcuned and
sent back to the island.
The board deliberated long II not wisely. and
finally reached the conclusion that the coun
try's treasury could not well bear the burden
OF the loss of the money represented by the
price OF one rife, and 1t was decreed that
the cost Of the weapon should be taken out OF

The recruit had marched on guard for the

prisoners over to him with instructions to
guard them while they drove a mule team and

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 rs
pleasant II is to-day and when the recruits
lot was far from a happy one. In those old
days desertions were 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 II:
"In the winter OF 1855 I was stationed at
David's island, New York harbor. n 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

OF 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
TO bleat like the lamb. Early In the second
week Of that March month New York was over
whelmed by tempest of wind and snow II
was in that storm that Roscoe Conkling met
with the exposure which caused the illness
leading to his death in few days. II was the
worst storm known to the history Of the east
ern country. The New Workers.. however. did
not experience its full fury. for their buildings
gave them shelter.
1T was left for a 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
mot a whisper OF wind over the water Within
ten minutes the black clouds had banked up.
and in another ten minutes they were shaking
ont their br. zen OF snow, while the wind which
mad sprung 10 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
tho least resistance to the wind. Out Of doors

words from ones lips and smothered them
with their howlings
"on that night I was on guard as corporal
