Phonograph, the confusion over the wash lists, scampering cadets noisily returning from hops and concerts all keep a sentinel from thinking of himself. It is not until the three taps of the drum, when the camp is magically plunged into obscurity and silence, that the plebe begins to feel the monotony of his duty and, while walking mechanically back and forth on his post, to become introspective.
The stillness of the camp only accentuates his slow nonchalant step on the path. In his imagina- tio
...n the air seems to be filled with invisible spirits the spirits of the night that have come forth. First he is conscious of only a few timid ones here and there, but as the hours wear on they seem to grow bolder and bolder, filling the surrounding at- mosphere and whispering in his ear their ghostly messages. Each nerve becomes more alert as he listens for the crunch, crunch, crunch of some official step on the gravel. Plow vivid and eerie seem his surroundings! The lonesome hours of 140 West Point the night strike a sympathetic chord in his sensi- tive nature and the balmy stillness calls forth his starry fancies.
