A jacket with hanging sleeves, slashed with velvet at the neck and wrists, showed that he was a man of some consideration, an under-officer, or file-leader of his company. "I cannot think," said he, "why you English should be so fond of your six-foot stick.
There was nothing like a track, with the exception of occasional foot-prints left by ourselves; but it was evident the Onondago paid not the least attention to these, possessing other and more accessible clues to his course. Guert marched next to the Indian, and I was third in the line. How often, that busy day, did I gaze at my file-leader, in admiration of his figure and mien!
He had slipped Donohue's fingers aside from the key to cut in with a peremptory "G.S." order suspending, in favor of the fast mail, the rule which requires a station operator to drop his board on a following section that is less than ten minutes behind its file-leader.

"AVEST POLLI, thou hadst chickens!" "Fine! Next!" "EBBE POLLI, he had chickens!" "Moltimoltissimo! Go on, the next!" "AVEMMO POLLI, we had chickens!" "Basta-basta aspettatto avanti last man CHARGE!"
His repeated misfortunes. Amusement of the party. The awkward squad. Merriment of the company. The file-leader and the letters. Remark of Cyrus. Animadversion version of Aglaitadas. Aglaitadas's argument for melancholy. Defense of the officers. General character of Xenophon's Cyropædia.
