The boy in the third wagon was suffering from exhaustion. The days and days of walking over the rolling prairie, under a brassy sun, the hard food of the train, and the short hours of rest, had put too severe a trial upon his delicate frame.

With the early history of the present ruler of Egypt, and with his projects of military reform, our readers are doubtless well acquainted.
