Life is full of ups and downs, mused the colonel, as he laid on the littered desk before him an official communication just received from Department Head-Quarters, especially army life, -and more especially army life in Texas. Now, what are you philosophizing about? asked his second in command, a burly major, glancing over the top of the latest home paper, three weeks old that day. D'ye remember Pigott, that little cad that was court-martialled at San Antonio in '68 for quintuplicating his pay accounts? He married the widow of old Alamo Hendrix that winter. He's worth half a million to-day, is running for Congress, and will probably be on the military committee next year, while here's Lawrence, who was judge advocate of the court that tried him, gone all to smash. And the veteran officer commanding the -th Infantry and the big post at Fort Worth glanced warily along into the adjoining office, where a clerk was assorting the papers on the adjutant's desk. It's the saddest case I ever heard of, said Major Brooks, tossing aside the Toledo Blade and tripping up over his own, which he had thoughtfully propped between his legs as he took his seat and thoughtlessly ignored as he left it. Damn that sabre, -and the service generally! he growled, as he recovered his balance and tramped to the window.
