of the Examiner’s room. Willy like most of the family, was very short sighted
and he knew that this test would be far beyond his capacity, and that he would
certainly be rejected that on that score. He therefore arranged with a friend
who was entering at the same time that the friend should go to the Examiner just
ahead of him, and relay to him all the necessary features of the view. When
Willy's turn came, he described the view which to him was no more than a blur,
with quite remarkable accuracy passed the test triumphantly, and went on to a
long and successful career in the Army.
