The top of the carrot was shaped as
is ordinarily the case, but about two
inches below the top the carrot enter
ed neck which had been broken off
from a bottle and which happened to
lay just right in the garden so that
the growing root entered it and grew
through it. When it emerged from
the bottle it took on the shape and
size of a regular carrot again. As
far as the thing being freak, it is
doubtful if ever any such a growth
has ever been heard of.

Lloyd, trembling and weakened by
his long fast, tottered out. assisted by
a soldier on each side Of him.
They took him before the captain,
but could get nothing out of him but:
''For Gods sake, sir, don't have me
shot, don'tshave me shotl"
The captain, utterly Disguised with
him, sent him under escort to division

He did not realize the awfulness of
