impulsivo son of the wilds of the

enablod to maintain his grade, owing
to a peculiar tact which he piosseisced

Wilcy and the party separated.
"Never minid, Willey," said the
'ergeant-major, as they walked off
together, "'when your turn comes

' "That's well enough," grumbled
Willey, "but it iayn't bo a wet.
"That doesn't matter, Willey,"
wacin sail the sergeant major.

rial will be counted as another laurel

Willey left his superior, and foi'
in hour after was noticed wiatidering
ibout alone muttering something un,
ntelligible. At iast Willey made
traight for the colonel's tent, and
without preliminary, apostrophised
him in a twangeny voice: "Kernel,"

'IA what. ?" said Col. W.
"A lorl ?" againi asked Villcy in a
louder tone.
"1A whalt?"
"Whatt a lorl?" this time fairly

Col. W; was now nearly out of
patience, being its little informed as
beforo on the loril subjtet. "Willoy,"
said tho cholorel; "if you will tell mo
who uttered that word in your presence'
and under 'what'* eircunmstances it was
ttered-if you tell no something

rifter it was nittered--I may be able to
alighten you."
"Willey then ex-plained how the
