The Twins, regular bad men of the regiment, have been condemned to the military prison, and it goes much against the grain of the kind-hearted Captain Hurluret to see these poor fellows confined to their cells. His leniency toward them, however, is speedily taken advantage of with most amusing results. Consequently, when the General of the regiment, another kind-hearted officer, comes to inspect the barracks, he finds that the regiment are all heartily enjoying themselves and that breach of the rules and regulations is rife. He reproves the Captain, but the latter merely replies that he cares not for the rules and regulations, as his ambition is not promotion, but to be beloved by his men. Under such an officer the men would boldly court, without fear, the death that lurks in waiting for them. Truly, the Captain's ambition is realized, for his men love him with all their hearts.
