"You know, Schmidt, that our leftenant has been garried down the river," continued Meyer. The bushwhacker responded with a grunt which expressed neither pleasure nor sorrow, but merely assent. "You know," went on the sergeant, "that such things cannot habben to officers without investigations." "He war a squar man, an' a white man," said Texas.
" And half of ’em unruly Yankees the most objectionable half, you know." "A bad lot," remarked the Honorable Algy. "Not at all," said the B. M.

I won my bet, but the Anchor was so eternal heavy it broke my heart.
"Sure, Little One, and I'll app'int you First Leftenant, Company B, San Leon Life Guards. Halt!" He stopped and faced his followers: "It has been proposed 't we make this a regular company, same as Company A, of the boys. I second the proposition.

"Ride back like a streak o' lightnin', and tell Leftenant Lyon that the gorrillas is cleanin' out a house over yender!" said Life in hurried speech. "How fur back is the platoon?" "Not more than half a mile," said Fronklyn. "Go it, and don't let the grass grow under your hoss's irons!"
