Another recruit came in Immediate
ly. Ho was a very bashful boy, with
a very squeaky voice. Ho wanted a
reprieve to sing In Mrs. Raymond's
chorus, where he was one of tho lead
ing basso profundos. Ho was told his
case would have to bo taken Into con
sideration also. The third recruit
WW. D. Stelk), who is six feet olght
inches tall, was ill every schopl day
In tho week except Friday, and really
fwaB unable to drill. Ho was likewise
compelled to wait. Tho fourth re
cruit was an officious fellow, ordering
tho captain to givo him a match and
filling his pipe right in 'tho ofllco. His
plea was religious scruples, being a
Quaker and presenting a letter signed
by Harry' G. Coffee, pastor of tho
Quaker church. This case, too, called
for deep consideration on the Tart of
the commandant.
