mat, as was evidenced by the fact
that he steered a safe course and
kept as friends the famous club
enemies, Colonel Horton and
Major Sherwood. And the en-
NIFTY between these two doughty
veterans was of such long stand
ing that the members of the club
took pride in it, and when all
other topics failed returned to it
as the one unfailing subject OF
interest.
I IKE everything else about the
place, the quarrel had "seen
its best days. In the early '7O's
it threatened to split Sheridan
Post in twain at each election
when commander was to be
chosen. Once or twice the Colonel
and the Major almost took to
arms, and were dissuaded from
doing SO only by their common
friends. In the course of the
sos the five hundred began to
fade away so rapidly that even
the thought of a split became
abhorrent, and in the COS an
endeavor was made to induce the
two veterans to bury the Ratchet;
but without success. In the
1905 the factions themselves
came together and compromised
by electing the leaders alter
nately to the highest office Of
honor at their disposal, leaving
to the alternate out of office the
regulation perquisite, SO dear to
all those out of Office, of criticiz-
ing the administration. Colonel
Horton was for the time being
Commander of Sheridan Post,
and Major Sherwood the virulent
carper.

this that the criticisms uttered

had left his family was so like thou

Finally Dawson went to police sta

absolutely could not. Then some one
brought a newspaper into the station
