He waited until none of the employes was watching, and. taking out bls handker chief. he erased the letter "b” from the word beat The transformation was complete, and It was not until a crowd had collected that the proprietor of the restaurant discovered why there was a larger crowd outside than inside.

During the advance he had the bad luck to fall into a deep hole, au<l when he crawled out found him self on the enemy’s side. As he emerged he was met with such a show er of bullets that he slid back in short order. After a few minutes he came out again, and, amid a vigorous volley, ran for his life. He was nearly 300 yards from the British line, ami was hit three times before he reached a place of safety.—Youth’s Companion.
