You'll be court mar- tlaled and shot.” \ “Do you take me?” “I certainly do, but tbe money will do you no good except to pay for your funeral.” \ I ’ll risk that; put up tbe funds.” Beabury, captain of F company, was made stakeholder, and he, with tbe two first lieutenants, wore appointed umpires. The rest of tbe day was spent In wondering how Kendall was going to get ;out of losing bls bet, for as to pulling the major’s uose ouo might as well pall; the nose of tbe sec retary of war, ths highest official an she Just hasn’t a slnglo thing lit,to wear.

But since ho oue could guess wbat Billy was np to. we dually drift ed into vlgnt et uu and were obliged to be content with this for the rest of the dny and evening: That night tbe surgeon was called np to treat Mose. tbe major’s colored striker. He found Mose throwing up his supper o f pork aud bard tack. Tbe next morning Mose remained in bed. The surgeon could not see tbat any- tblug was tbo matter with bim. but Mose persuaded him to report to tbe major thut bin striker was unable fof the present to perform hls-duties. Just before guard mounting Kemlall sent an orderly to Captain Seabur.v to sny t h ft aa soon as tbe old guard lind marched off some one of tbe umpires were to be at Old Tom’s quarters ready to observe ibe pulling of Ills uose. The major was lu a bad humor that morning In consequence of the ab sence of his body servant nnd being required to get ready his own batb and perform other uicuiui duties tbat were usually attended to by Mose. Wben tbe umpires beard the trump of the guard that hud beeu twenty-four hours on duty going to tbelr quarters all three of them moved, at different times, so aa not to attract attention, to headquarters. Near tbe door they rallied on the center and conferred. It was agreed that Scabury should make an excuse to go In. stay as long as be could, theu come out, to be re placed by oue of the others.

But Sykes wus ho full of laughtei that be couldn’t go on. Finally,.wbeo be recovered somewhat, he said: j “When I went in old Tom mild apol- | ogetlcnlly. •That infernal striker of I mlno hud lo get sick Inst night, and | the surgeon reports that lie enn't shave me tills morning.
