Poor Peep of Day used to begin fur
bishing up Ids clothes and accoutrements
at dawn, and sweat at it all tho morning.
Ills comrades Invariably put him through
a preliminary inspection beforo parade;
but all to no purpose. The major e Anger
was suro to pounce upon the incompre
hensible spot, which changed place, but
not color, and always found means to fix
Itself on some part of the uniform. V3
One morning. Daybreak having twi.
ted hi bayonet in hi iron gripe, went to
have it repair) by tho armorer during
the hour of parado ; and whilst the arm
orer was straightening the weapon, Uay.
break moved softly to tho window, whence
ho could sco tho company drawn up iu
line, with their backs towards him, and
the major alternately halting and striding
forward with his heavy step. When he
camo to Peep of Day, tho major stooped aa
usual, and and Daybreak, lurnlna sud
denly to tho armoror, with his faoe u pale
a a ghost's, asked if he happened to hava a
loaded musket by him. As the armorer
naturally expressed surprise at tlio ques
tion, Daybreak fortunately recovered his
self.potaession and seemed lo think belter
of tho matter.
Guess what Daybreak had acen. He
had seen how Maior Lorpinierv. as Jm
walkod along the rear of tho line, rublaM
his finger silly on tho blacking of his
shoe, then laid it on Poop of Day'a uni
form, and so made tho spot ho pretended to

When parade waa ovor. Daybreak told
hla brother coolly what

"Study, now, my lad," said he to him.
"don't let your fust resentment boil up

And, suro enough, reop or Day was

up from i.is sick bed in a manner, and

no mention of any exception, and that
there should bo none. Daybreak then

"What do you nam ?"said the king.
"Sire, I am come to ask pardon of your

The king having granted him permission
to explain the case, Daybreak related tho

coming to tho end of his talo, ho said hi
bad asked pardon for Peep or Day of his
captain ; that hla captain having refused

bad likewise refused hint, "and thoreforc,"
he concluded, I am come to aak it of your

tho discourse with a solemnity that madei
