q Picture of Niqht.

Along the high hedged lane John
Strong swung. the June cleaning deep
ening into night. He loved to shove
his face into the night He gloried in
the uncertainty of night, the indefi-
niteness OF night. and his soul cried
back q wild answer to the cry of the
nighthawk and the owl. Night is more
primitive than day; night is more
calamitous; night is ii savage; night
everywhere Is the true aborigine. Day
has taken on civilization. Night hurls
the world back to the day of the war
club. the flint arrowhead. the painted
yisage. John Strong loved the night
with an almost malevolent love. In
the night he could hear the Vakyries
screaming. the witches riding their
broomsticks, the ghouls scraping the
mold from off the new buried coffin.
John Strong swung along, his face set
to meet oncoming night-Adventure.

HE PUNISHED GRANT.
The Cadet Was Guilty of Dsmounting
Without Leave.

Without Leave.
While a student at West Point U S.
Grant excelled in mathematics and
horsemanship. He jumped his horse
over a bar five feet six inches high,
which made a record for the academy
and a close second to the highest jump
ever recorded In America. He receiv-
ed little honor for some of his efforts,
however. notably in the case recalled
by Nicholas Smith in Grant, the Man
OF Mystery" But perhaps the humor
of it reconciled him.
The riding master was one Hersh-
berger, "an amusing sort of tyrant,"
and on one occasion. whether seriously
or as joke. he determined to take
down" the young cadet
At the exercise Grant was mounted
on a powerful but vicious brute that
the cadets fought shy of and was put
at leaping the bar.
The bar was placed higher and high
er as he came round the ring till it
passed the record. The stubborn rider
would not say enough" but the horse
was disposed to shy and refuse to
make the leap.
Grant gritted his teeth and spurred
at it, but just as the horse gathered for
the spring his swelling body burst the
girth, and the rider and saddle tumbled
into the ring.
Half stunned, Grant gathered him
self up from the dust only to hear the
HI
ger calling out:
cadet Grant six demerits for dis.
mounting without leavew
