It is enough to say here that he me;rried the widow of a brother-,o1- cer, a lady, who had one little child, whom, for other reasons than for the mother s sake, Bootles loved as his own esh. But -though he marriei he did not leave the service; he was, in fact, too thoroughly and really at. T heart a soldxer to entertain that use for `a moment, and his wife, Mrs. Booties. as all the Scarlet Lancers called her. was more `I, -_, I URIXULI ll-5|-`\J \JULlr3lL1U1bLLLUllu ' He was popular, too, with every'l`ody, high and low. -He worked hardat` his les- sons--he would do anything to please Terry --and he adored Bootles. All his master s belongings were sacred in his eyes, and his orders once given were as -unaltcrable as the laws of the Medes and Persians. , In Tom s_ eyes there was no oicer in the regiment- the regiment! nay, in the whole of the ser- vice--whom he would admit to be as strong or as clever, as handsome or as rich, as his maste"; not one who could ride, or drive, or shoot, or do any mortal thing with the same de ree of excel ence to which the cap n at- . ta ed, Yes, he had very early dropped the capting. and now clipped the word as short as any soldier in -the barracks. In fact, in Tom`s eyes, Booties, like the king, A. could do no wrong. - v we winter months were away, and by and by. the Scarlet Lancers were moved from Idlexninster to Aldershot, when Toin numbered among his experiences adifferent kind of march to those which he had share I with the- traveling wagons of the circus, for his master chose him to accompany Terry with his second charger, partly because he `was an unusually light weight, ani partly. because he wanted to, keep him under his own eye._ . - .

Ah! he s all very smart and that just now, said Hartog one day to Bootles; but wait a few months until the cbangevhas had time to work. He'll get fat, and then where will your niv,o'sn1art lad be? Simply not worth his suit. 'l`I.-A_ 'l1,_,, It! . an . But Tom never did get fat, not even plump. He ate well and heartily, but though -his lips grew less tight and his blue eyes rather le :13 anxious and bri;:ht-l-less unnaturally bright, I should say-he never came to be any thing but a skinny slip of a lad, with a pinched, pale faceand a deadly sharp tongue, and he did not seem-to grow at all. No_ one was sorry for that. Neither Bootleuuor Terry wished him any taller or heavier. ` The lad "himself boasted of his small size and weight. He had no further ambitions-#he had, in fact, reached the summit. of his hopes and desires. Capt. Ferrers needed a light- weight about -his horses, and very often a. sharp groom about himself. Tom supplied both needs to ma nicety. He had no desire to grow into a man, because he was perfectly happy as Capt. Ferrers boy. He had known rough weather, and now that he had got into aport which seemed only suited for small crait he _-was not anxious to go into a. three-decker.

Thus more than two years passed away, and many changes came about in the Scar- let Lancers, such changes `as do come about in a regiment during sovlong aspace of time.

It wax here that young Tom, from being only a sharp-tongued general favorite, sud- denly grew, like Capt.

With his master s permission and some help from the sailors, he got the tailor `to make him up a set of clown s garments , and furbished up allhis oldcircus tricks with such right good will that more than once he -had the honor of appearing before the most distinguished officers on board the Clyde.` He pleased them each and all so greatly that when he ' took his white hat round. for contributions to the fund for the Wives and children who had been left behind, he obtained so good a ` sum that Booties, whose heart was tender to every man who could in any way ap- zproach or share his feelings on that subject, \ made it -up to the even and respectable amount of 5 out of his own pocket.
