where he had been passing the last
eight and forty hours and In which re-

he was ordered to betake himself to

fancy than ever for being seen by the
captain. but he was not so mad yet as
to disobey orders. and consequently
went up to the terrace overlooking the

hands as he went along a bit of the
straw that had formed the decorative
furniture Of the Black Hole.

PART /.


rN the year 1899 a relative Of
mine came limping down on
foot to this town of Chatham.
u My relative came to Chatham
to enlist in cavalry regiment If a
cavalry regiment would have him; II
not to take King Georges shilling
from any corporal or sergeant who
would put bunch of ribbons in his
hat His object was to get shot, but
he thought he might as well ride to his
death as be at the trouble Of walking.
My relatives Christian name was
Richard but he was better known
as Dick. He dropped his own surname
on the road down and took up that of
Doubledick. He was passed as Rich
ard Doubledick, age twenty-five, height
five foot ten, native place ExmOuth,
which he had never been near in his
life. There was no cavalry in Chat
ham when he limped over the bridge
here with half shoe to his dusty feet,
80 he enlisted into a regiment of the
line and was glad to get drunk and
forget all about it,
You are to know that this relative of
mine had gone wrong and run wild.
his heart was in the right place, but it
was sealed up. He had been betroth-
ed to Il good and beautiful girl whom
he had loved better than sheer per-
haps even he-believed, but in an evil
hour he had given her cause to say to
him sOlemnly: Richard, | will never
marry another man. | will live single
for your sake, but Mary Marshalrs
hps'-her name was Mary Marshall
"Dever address another word to you
on earth. Go, Richard. Heaven for
give you" This finished him. This
brought him down to Chatham. This
made him Private Richard Double
dick. with determine ton to be shot.
There was not more dissipated and
reckless soldier in Chatham barracks
in the year 1899 than Private Richard
Doubledick. He associated with the
dregs of every regiment, he was as sell
dom sober as he could be and was con-
stantly under punishment. II became
clear to the whole barracks that Pri-
vate Richard Doubledick would very
soon be fog sed
Now the captain Of Richard Double
dicks company was young gentle
man not above five years his senior.
whose eyes had an expression in them
which affected Private Richard Dou-
bledick in very remarkable way.
They were bright. handsome. dark eyes
what are called laughing eyes gener-
ally, and, when serious. rather steady
