The other girls having been passed or rejected as tflliie case-migfijt he, the physician took this particular candidate in baud, with the result that he soon arrived at the conviction that the young person belonged to the sterner sex. It took the heroine, or, now more properly, the hero of this advenxure some time to decide on abandoning ,» voluminous hat and liobMe skirt for the more sober and less faiiitaßtLc attire of an ordinary citizen, but it had to be done; and, what' is equally , interesting in its way, the French/ Army wall next year be the stronger by one recruit than it would have been if this incident had not occurred.
