"I don't want this man punished!" he suddenly broke out in fervent expostulation. "I have nothing against him. I don't believe he intended to do any wrong. And I hope the jury will acquit him!"

A fort flew our own regimental flag beside the pretty banner of our new nation. "Oho!" said Boyd, with an oath. "I'm damned if I care for barracks when a bed in the open is good enough.
