A bullet broke a piece of hardtack which a man was lifting to his mouth; without even stopping in the act of lifting it to his mouth, he ate the piece, with a jest. Suddenly the clatter of hoofs was heard from the front. Lieut. Miley dashed up and said, "Gen.
"My dear Master Miles!" expostulates the tutor, turning very red. "But you know you said he was wicked!" cried the child. "We are all miserable sinners, Miley," explains papa.
