For all this I warn’t sorry when it began to grow a little lighter; and about an hour before dawn they began to see it was no use; so they gave me one long, loud farewell aforc they went. l But, squire, the most curious part Of the story has got to come.

He had his tail atween his legs, jest like a dog when he’s beaten, and had a coward look, as if he were ashamed and afcard like. All at oticct, he made a spring out of the burn, but the rest of the pack were after him like lightnin’. ‘Squirc,’ concluded the Yankee, laying his hand impressively on my sleeve, ‘ you may believe it or not, jest as you please; but beyond some hide and bones, they didn’t leave a piece of that ’erc wolf as big as my hand.â€"-â€"I-Ie was the scout as give the signal to the others, and they doâ€" voured him of hunger and re venge, wolf separate lilmSelf from the pucltl other armies in uh‘cli it was retain- ed by the members of the Army and mad“ by Ourselves i" Navy Ulttb that it was impossible to 100 mars orvmrtuunn Maseru: counts :â€" ubolish the lush, or they would have the whole army and navy in a state of mutiny; but that was the old story.

" What was good for the goose was good for the gander,’ was an old proverb, and therefore if= flogging was good for the private it was good for the officer. But he contende there was no necessity for flogging at all. In the French army it would not be submitted to, and the only ed were those of Austria and Russia.
