l BE oold passed
reluctantly from
the v earth and
the retiring fogs
revealed an
army stretched
out. on the hills
resting. As the
landscape
changed ' from
brown to green
the army awak
ened and began
to tremble with
eagerness at the
noise of rumors.
It cast its eyes upon the roads
which Were growing from long
troughs of liquid mud to proper
thoroughfares. A river, amber
tinted in the shadow of its banks,
purled at the army's feet, and at night,
when the stream had become of a
sorrowful blackness, one could see
across it the red, eye-like gleams of
hostile campfiros set in the low brows
of distant hills.
Once a certain tall soldier developed
virtues and went resolutely to wash a
shirt. He came flying back from tho
brook wuving his garment, banner-like,
lie had heard a tale.
"We're going to move to-morrow-sure,"
ho said, promptly, to a group in
the company street. "We're going
way up the river, cut across and come
around in behind them." -
To his attentive audience he drew a
loud and elaborate plan of a very
brilliant campaign. When he had
finished the blue-clothed men scat
tered into small, arguing groups be
tween the rows of squat brown huts.
Smoke drifted lazily from a multitude
of quaint chimneys.
' "It's a thundering 'lie!" said a loud
young private. "I don't believe the
derned old army's ever going to move.
We're sot. I've got ready to move eiffht
times in the last two weeks, and we
ain't moved yet."
i The till soldier felt called upon to
defend the truth of a rumor he himself
had introduced. He and the loud one
came near to fighting over it.
Many of the men engaged in the
spirited debute. One outlined in a
peculiarly lucid rounner all the plans
of the commanding general. He was
opposed by men who contended that
there were other plans of campaign.
They clamored at each other, numbers
making futile bids for the popular at
tention. There was a youthful private who
listened with eager ears to the words
of the excited soldier and to tho varied
comments of his comrades. After re
ceiving a fill of discussions concerning
marches and attacks, he went to his
hut and crawled through an intricate
hole that served it as a door. He
wished to be alone with some new
thoughts that had lately come to him.
He lay down on a wide bunk that
stretched across the side uf the room.
In the Other end cracker boxes were
mode to serve as furniture. They were
grouped about the fireplace. Equip
ments hung on handy projections. The
smoke of the fire at times neglected
the cray chimney and wreathed into
the room. And, too, this flimsy chim
ney of. clay and sticks made endleus
threats to Set afire the whole establish
ment. The youth was in a little trance of
astonishment. So they were at last
going to fight. On the morrow, per
haps, there was going to be a battle
and ho would be in it. For a time he
was obliged to labor to make himself
believe. He could not accept with as
surance an omen that he was about to
mingle in one of those great affairs of
the earth.
lie had, of course, dreamed of bat
tles all of his life of vague, bloody
conflicts.. In visions he had seen him
self in many struggles that had thrilled
him with their sweep and fire. Hut
monotonous weeks of cump life had
made him finally regard himself as
merely a part of a vast blue demonstra
tion, lie had come prepared to devas
tate tho enemy; instead, he was mado
to sit still In one place and try to keep
warm during the winter,' lie decided
then that war was a legend.
However, he was now told that he
was going to fight. He was mutely as
tonished, and lay in his bunk trying to
prove mathematically that ho would
not run. Here was a great problem.
He was forced to admit that as far as
war was concerned he knew nothing of
himself. : ;
A little panic fear grew in his mind.
As his imagination went forward to
this fight, he saw hideous possibilities.
He contemplated tho lurking menaces
of the close future and his mind failed
in an effort to see himself standing
stoutly in tho midst of them.
He sprang from his bunk and began
to pace nervously, to and fro. "Good
Lord, what s tho
matter with
me," he said in
dismay. 4
After a time
the tall private
olid dextrously
through the
hole. The loud
young ono fol
lowed. They
Were wrangling.
"That's all us srnAsa fbou ins
tight," the. tall bunk.
soldier was saying as he entered. "You
can believe me or not just as you like."
His companion grunted stubbornly
and said: "Well, you don't know every
.thing in the world, do you."
The youth, pausing in his nervous
-walk, interrupted Oielr quarrel "Go
ing to-be a battle, sure, is there, Jim?"
"Of course there is," said the tall
(Wittier, , . i.t
Presently the youth oskeV "How do
.you think the regiment will do?"
,"Oh, they'll fight all right after they
'Once get into it," said the other with
Cold Judgment. "Thew's been heaps
of fun poked at them because they are
tow, but they'll fight all right, I guess,"
"Think any of the boys'll run?" per-
leistea-tne youth., .
j "Oh, there may be a few of 'em run,
lout tnore's them kind in every regl
imept, especially when .they first goes
under fire," said the tall soldier, In a
tolerant way. "The boys come of good
stock and they'll fight all right after
they once get dead into it"
"Did you ever think you might run
yoursblf, JiniT" remarked the youth,
thoughtfully. '
The tall private waved his hand.
"Well," said be, ."profoundly, "I've
thought it might get too hot for Jim
Conklin in some of them scrimmages,
and if a whole lot of the boys started to
run why I s'pose I'd start and run. But
if everybody was a-standing and fight
ing, why then I'd stand and fight, by
jlmlny."
'.'Shucks!" snorted the loud private,
Ecornfully. But the youth felt grate
ful for these words of hlu tall comrade.
Ho had feared thct all of the untried
men felt a great and correct confidence.
He was now in a measure reassured.
CHAPTER tt
The next morning the youth discov
ered that his tall comrade had been the
fast-flying messenger of a mistake.
He felt, however, that his prob
lem was in no . wise lifted from
him. There was pn the contrary an
irritating prolongation. The tale had
created in him a great concern for him
self. And now, with' this newborn
question in his mind, ho was compelled
to sink back into his old place as part
of a blue demonstration.
For days he made ceaseless calcula
tions, but thoy wore all wondrously
unsatisfactory. He found that he could
establish nothing. Finally he concluded
that the only way to prove himself
wus to go into the blaze and then, fig
uratively, to watch his legs to discover
their merits and faults.
Meanwhile he continually tried to
measure himself, by his comrades. The
tall soldier, for one, gave him some as
surance. This man's serene unconcern
dealt him a measure of confidence, for
he had known him from childhood, and
from his intimate knowledge he did
not sec how this man could be capable
of anything that was beyond him.
The youth would have liked to have
discovered another who suspected him
self. A sympathetic comparison of men
tal notes would have been a great joy
to him. He occasionally tried to fathom
a comrade with seductive sentences.
He wus afraid to make an open declar
ation of his condition, because it might
place some unscrupulous confidant
upon the high plane of the unconfessed,
from which elevation he could be de
rided. One morning, however, he found him
self in the ranks of his prepared regi
ment. The men were whispering spec
ulations and recounting the old rumors.
In the gloom before the break of day,
their uniforms glowed a deep purple
hue. From across the river the red
eyes were still peering. In the eastern
sky, there wus a yellow patch like a
rug laid for the feet of the coming sun.
And against it, black and pattern-like,
loomed the gigantic figure of the
colonel on a gigantic horse.
From off in the darkness came the
trampling of feet. The youth could
occasionally see dark shadows that
moved like monsters. . The regiment
stood at rost for what seemed a long
time. The youth grew Impatient. It
was unendurable, the way these affairs
were managed. He wondered how long
they were to be kept waiting.
At last he heard from along the road
at the foot of the hill the clatter of a
horse's galloping hoofs. It must be tho
coming of orders. . He bent forward,
scarce breathing. Tha exciting clickety
click as It - grew louder and . louder
seemed to be beating upon his soul. Pres
ently a horseman with jangling equip
ment drew rein before tho colonel 01
the regiment. The two held a short,
sharp-worded conversation. The men in
the foremost ranks craned their necks.
As the horseman wheeled his animal
and galloped away, he turned to shout
over his shoulder: "Don't forget that
box of cigars." The colonel mumbled
in reply.-. The youth wondered what a
box of cigars had to do with war.
A moment later the regiment went
swinging off into the darkness. It was
now like one of those moving monsters
wending with many feet. The air wus
heavy and cold with dew. A mass of
wet grass, marched upon, rustled like
silk. ' .
There was an occasional flash and
glimmer of steel from the backs of
all these huge crawling reptiles.. From
the road,, camo crackings and grum
blings as some surly guns were dragged
away.
Tho men stumbled along still mut
tering speculations. . There w&s a sub
dued debate. Once, a man fell down
and as he reached for his rifle a com
rade, unseeing, trod upon his hand. He
of the injured fingers swore bitterly
and aloud. A' low, tittering laugh went
among his fejhws. ' .
Presently they passed into a road
way and marched along with easy
strides. " A dark regiment moved be
fore, them, and, from behind, also,
camo tho tinkle of equipments on tho
bodies of marching men.
Tho rushing yellow of the develop
ing day went on behind their backs.
When the sun rays at last struck full
and mellow ingly upon the earth,
the youth saw that the landscape
was . streaked with two long, thin,
black columns, which disappeared on
tho brow of the hill In front and rear
ward vanished in a wood. They were
like two serpents crawling from the
cavern of the night. ;
The river was not in view. The tall
soldier burst out in praise of what he
thought to be his powers of perception.
"Didn't 1 tell you?" .
The youth ook no part La them. As
he walked along in careless line, he was
engaged with his own eternal debate.
He could not, hinder, himself from
dwelling upon it ' He was despondent
and sullen and threw shifting glances
about him. He looked ahead often ex
pecting to hear from .the advance the
rattle of firing.
CHAPTER HI
When another night came, the col
umns, changed to purple, streaks, filed
across two pontoon bridges. A glaring
flre wlne-tlated the waters of the river.
Its rays; shining ' upon .the moving
masses of troops, brought forth here
and there sudden gleams of silver or
gold. Upon the other shore, a dark
and mysterious range of hills was
curved against the' sky. The insect
voices of the night sang solemnly.
Presently, the army again sat down
to think. The odor of the peaceful
pines was in the men's nostrils. The
sound, of, monotonous ax-blows rang
through the forest and the insects,
nodding upon their perches, crooned
'. like old women. The youth returned
.to his theory ox a blue demonstration.
One gray dawn, however, he was
kicked in the leg by the tall soldier and
then,' before be was entirely awake, he
found himself running down a wood
road in the midst of men 'who were
panting from the first effects of speed.
His canteen banged rhythmically upon
his thigh and his haversack . bobbed
softly. His musket, bounced a trifle
from his shoulder at each stride and
made his cap feel uncertain upon his
head. ,'
He thought the! damp fog of early
morning moved from the rush of a
great body of troops.;; From the dis
tance came a sudden spatter of firing.
He was bewildered. As he ran with
'his comrades he strenuously tried to
think, but all he knew was that if he
fell down those coming behind would
tread upon him. All his faculties
seemed to be needed to guide) him
over and past obstrustlons. He felt
carried along by a mob. .
The sun spread disclosing rays and,
one by one, regiments burst Into view
like armed men just born of the earth.
The youth perceived that the time had
come. He was about to be measured.
For a moment he felt in the face of his
great trial like a babe. And the flesh
over his heart seemed very thin.
The regiment slid down a bank and
wallowed across a little stream. The
mournful current moved slowly on and
from the water, shaded black, soin
white bubble eyes looked at the men.
As they climbed the hill on the fur
ther side artillery began to boom.
Here the youth forgot many things as
he felt a sudden impulse of curiosity.
He scrambled up the bankwith a speed
"JU.v 1 'hat could not
uu uxceeueu vj
a bloodthirsty
man.
He expected
a battle scene.
There were
some little fields
girted and
squeezed by a
forest. Spread
over the grass
and in among
the tree trunks,
iieee tub youth for- he could see
oot want things, knots and wav
ing lines of skirmishers who were run
ning hither and thither and firing at
the landscape. A dark battle-line lay
upon a sun-struck clearing that gleamed
orange color. A flag fluttered.
Other regiments floundered up the
bank. The brigade was formed in line
of battle and, after a pause, started
slowly through the woods in the rear
of the receding skirmishers who were
continually melting into the scene to
appear again further on. They were al
ways busy as bees, deeply absorbed in
their little combats.
The youth tried to observe every'
thing. He did not use care to avoid
trees and branches, and his forgotten
feet were constantly knocking against
stones or getting entangled in briars.
Ho was aware that these battalions
with their commotions were woven red
and starting into the gentle fabric of
softened greens and browns. It looked
to be a wrong place for a battle-field.
The skirmishers in advance fascinated
him. Their shots into thickets and at
distant and prominent trees spoke to
him of tragedies, hidden, mysterious,
solemn. ,
During this march, the ardor which
the youth had acquired when out of
view of the field rapidly faded to noth
ing. His curiosity was quite easily sat
isfied. If an intense scene had caught
him with its wild swing as he came to
the top of the bunk he might have gone
roaring on. This advanco upon nature
was too calm. Ho had opportunity to
reflect. He had time in which to won
der about himself and to attempt to
probe his sensations.
Absurd ideas took hold upon him.
He thought that he did not relish the
landscape. It threatened him. A cold
ness swept over his back, and it is true
that his trousers felt to him that they
were no fit for his legs at all.
A house standing placidly in distant
fields had an ominous look. The shad
ows 0 the woods were formidable. He
was certain that in this vista there
lurked fierce-eyed host The swift
thpught came to him that the generals
did not know what they were about.
It was all a trap. Suddenly those close
forests would bristle with rifle barrels.
Iron-like brigades would 'appear in the
rcur. They were all going to be sacri
ficed. Tho generals were stupids. ' The
enemy would presently swallow the
whole command. He glared about
him, expecting to see tho stealthy ap
proach of his death. ,L ,
He thought that he must break from
tho ranks and harabguo his comrades.
They must not all bo killed liko
pigs. And he was sure It would come
to pass unless they wero informed of
these dangers. The generals wero
idiots to send them- marching into a
regular pen. There was but one pair
oi eyes in the corps. - He would f tep
forth and make a speech, '- Shrill and
passionate words came to his Hps.
Tho line, broken into moving frag
ments by the ground, went calmly on
through fields and woods.' The youth
looked at- the men nearest him and
saw, for the most part, expression of
deep interest as if they were Invest!
gating something that had fascinated
them. .' One or two stepped with ' over
valiant airs as if they were aheady
plunged into war. Others walked as
upon thin ice. The greater part of the
untested men appeared quiet and ab
sorbed. They were, going to look at
war, tho red animal, war, the blood'
swollen god. . And they were deeply
engrossed in this march.
' As he looked, the youth gripped his
outcry at his throat- He saw that
even if the men were tottering with
fear, they would laugh at his warning,
They would jeer him, and M practicable
pelt him with missllos. Admitting that
he might be wrong, a frenzied decla
mation of the kind would turn him into
a worm. ' .
.- He assumed, then;" the demeanor of
one who knows that he is doomed,
alone, to unwritten responsibilities.
He lagged, with tragic glances at the
sky. . .-.''
