The majority of this board are about equal, in point of experience and ability, to the management of an oyster stand in a market.

O for God's sake, sir!" whimpering, dancing. "Ave mercy as you ope for it. Let me ave me smack if it's only for the glory of the old rigiment." "Certainly not," said the Parson sternly. "This is war, not tomfoolery." The little man collapsed sullenly. "From the right retire by companies on your sup-ports!" shouted the Parson in measured regimental voice.
Parson and Gentleman were about to clash. Then a little figure rose out of the earth, and sullen thunder smote on the silence. Piper drew a deep breath. "I thart so," he said, comfortably.
