Mrs. Hemingway refused to re-
tire until her husband came. l Of
Tered to sit up with her, but she
declined vehemently.

think if he found you and me sit
ting up alone together" she eX-
planned.
l agreed with her heartily, so we
liked good warm fire III the stove
and left her alone to welcome her
spouse 1t would be only a few
hours until morning, and | did not
bother to undress, but threw myself
exhausted. on my cot.
I did not sleep, however. The
storm outside was making a con-
tinuous racket around the caves and
corners Of the building that nearly
drowned the cllromatic snores OF
the veterans.
The excitement of the evening
still kept my blood racing and my
nerves at high tension. l listened
for the opening of the door which
would indicate that Mr.. Hemming-
way had arrived.
The sonorous slumbers of oui
country's ex-defenders began to
fray my temper. What right had
everybody to sleep while / strug-
gled in vain to WOO Morpheus?
I might have become accustomed
to regular snore,4 but there was
one-Comrade Pix Henwether, for
a dollar-who gurgled in his sleep.
The exasperating part about it was
that he didn't do it all the time.
Only occasionally above the diapa-
son of his fellows came this un-
earthly gurgle, as if dishwater were
disappearing down a sink.
I tried to calculate the interval
between explosions, and finally
thought I had him timed to twenty
eight seconds. Then he fooled me
by missing on one cylinder and re-
naming quiet full minute. 1t was
almost a relief when he burst forth
again.
Something had disarranged his
timer, for he Became erratic from
now on, sometimes firing twice in
succession and sometimes failing
me for two and three revolutions
at time. His compression was
wonderful. The trouble was in his
spark.
At last my brain grew curdled
with futile evaporation. I may
have dozed, or possibly I had a
fever delirium. I don't know. Any
way, it was not refreshing sleep
that came to me and it was crowded
with nightmares
Suddenly I opened my eyes and
listened intently to a new sound
that had been beating against my
eardrums for several minutes dur

ing my doze. AZ series of irregular
tappings, accompanied by a low
moaning, became audible above the
steady roar of the storm. Ny re-
laxed nerves became alert once
more.
What was it?
The irregular humping was re-
peated. It sounded far away, and
yet strangely near, as if it might be
in the walls of the building. Was it
a spisit rapping?
I had never believed in such
things, but then I had never had

you've got lot of prisoners
lin't you?" he commented.
"These aren't ali prisoners" the
colonel explained hastily. There:
only one"
He led the way to Bill who, trussec
up in his chair, had fallen asleel
peacefully.
The entire situation was ex-
planned to the sheriff while he peeled
off a layer or two of clothing
and revealed himself as a small
old man, with watery blue eyes and
considerable foliage in front of his
face. His beard was white, except
where it was stained with tobacco
juice.
"If you don't mind" said the
sheriff, "we won't go back until
morning. It's storning so hard out
now that l doubt if we could get
through. I'll just put my horse in
the stable"
"You can't" said the colonel.
8The stable is burnt up"
A compromise was effected by
quartering the horse in the cellar.
AS it happened, there was an out
side runway leading to the base
ment, down which supplies were
usually wheeled in trucks. After
considerable persuasion the horse
was induced to negotiate this and
was tied to a post in one of the
small storerooms below. .
That done, the colonel assigned
us quarters for the night. Forum
ate1y, there were enough vacant
rooms SO that each of the ladies
could have an apartment, while we
men were billeted on cots in the
general dor1nitory, where most O
the veterans slept.
