CHAPTER III.
Our Father Which Art In Heaven.
We rejoined the colors on Friday.
On Monday we are to move out. To-,
day, being Sunday, la full-dress church
parade.
1 slept badly last night, and am
feeling uneasy and limp.
And now we are sitting close packed
In church.
The organ Is playing a voluntary.
I am leaning back and straining my
ears for the sounds In the dim twi-
light of the building. Childhood's
days rise before my eyes again. 1 am
■watching a little solemn-faced boy sit-
ting crouched in a corner and listen-
ing to the divine service. The priest
la standing In front of the altar, and
la Intoning the exhortation devoutly.
The choir in the gallery Is chanting
the responses. The organ thunders
out and floods through the building
majestically. I am rapt In an ecstasy
of sweet terror, for the Lord God is
cc-ning down upon us. He Is stand-
ing before me and touching my body
so that 1 have to close my eyes in a
terror of shuddering ecstasy. .
That Is long, long ago, and Is all
past and done with, as youth Itself is
past and done with. . . .
Strange! After all these yearB of
doubt and unbelief, at this moment of
lucid consclouness, the atmosphere of
devoutness, long since dead, possesses
me, and thrills me so passionately that
I can hardly resist it. This is the
■ame heavy twilight—these are the
same yearning angel voices—the same
fearful sense of rapture—
I pull myself together, and sit bolt
upright on the hard wooden pew.
In the main and the side aisles be-
low, and In the galleries above, noth-
ing but Boldlers In uniform, and all.
•with level faces, turned toward the
altar, toward that pale man in his
long dignified black gown, toward that
sonorous, unctuous mouth, from whose
lips flows the name of God.
Ix>ok! He is now stretching forth
his hands. We Incline our heads. He
la pronouncing the benediction over us
In a voice that echoes from the tomb.
He Is blessing us in the name of God,
the merciful. He is blessing our rifles
that they may not fall us; he is bless-
ing the wire-drawn guns on their pat-
ent recoillesa carriages; he Is blessing
every precious cartridge, lest a single
bullet be wasted, lest any pass Idly
through the air; that each one may
account for a hundred human beings,
may shatter a hundred human beings
simultaneously.
Father in Heaven! Thou art gazing
down at us In such terrible silence.
Dost Thou shudder at these sonB of
men? Thou poor and slight God!
Thou couldst only rain Thy paltry
pitch and sulphur on Sodom and Go-
morrah. But we, Thy children, whom
Thou hast created, we are going to
exterminate them by high-pressure
machinery, and butcher whole cities in
factories. Here we stand, and while
we stretch our hands to Thy Son In
prayer, and cry Hosannah! we are
hurling shells and shrapnel in the face
of Thy Image, and shooting the son
of man down from his cross like a
target at the rifle-butts.
And now the holy communion Is
being celebrated. The organ Is play-
ing mysteriously from afar oft, and
the fleBh and blood of the Redeemer 1b
mingling with our flesh and blood.
There he 1s hanging on the Cross
above me, and gazing down upon me.
How pale these cheeks look! And
these eyes are the eyes as of one
dead! Who was this Christ who is
to aid us, and whose blood we drink?
What was It they once taught us at
Bchool? Didst thou not love man-
kind? And didst thou not die for the
■whole human race? Stretch out t.hine
arrnB toward me. There Is something
I would fain ask of thee. ... Ah!
they have nailed thy arms to the
cross, bo that thou canst not stretch
out a finger toward us.
Shuddering, I fix my eyes on the
corpse-like face and see that he has
died long ago, thai he Is nothing more
than wood, nothing other than a pup-
pet. Christ, it la no longer thee to
whom we pray. Look there! Look
there! It Is he. The new patron
taint of a Christian state! Look
there! It la He, the great DJengls
Khan. Of him we know that be swept
through the history of the world with
fire and sword, and piled up pyramids
of skulls. Yes, that la he. Let ug
heap up mountains of human headB,
and pile UP heaps of human entralla.
Great DJengls Khan! Thou, our pat-
ron Balntl Do thou bless us! Pray to
thy blood-drenched lather seated
above the skies of Asia, that he may
lawcep with us through the clouds;
that he may Btrike flown that accursed
nation till it writhes In Its blood, till
lit never can rise again. A rod rniBt
*wlms before my eyes. Of a sudden I
gee nothing but blood before me. The
Jieavena have opened, and the red
^ood pours In through the windows.
mood wells up on the altar. The
walls run blood from the celling to the
tloor, and—God the Father steps out
of the blood. Every scale of his skin
stands erect, IiIb beard and hair drip
blood. A giant of blood stands before
me. He seats himself backward on
the altar, and Is laughing from thick,
coarse lips—there sits the king of
Dahomey and butchers his slaves.
The black executioner raises his
sword and whirls It above my head.
Another moment and my head will
roll down on the floor—another mo-
ment and the red Jet will spurt from
my neck. . Murderers mur-
derers! None other than murderers!
Lord God In Heaven!
Then—
The church door opens creaking
Light, air, the blue of heaven, burst
In.
I draw a breath of relief. We have
risen to our feet, and at length pass
out of the twilight Into the open air.
My knees are still trembling under
me.
We fall into line, and In our hob-
nailed boots tramp In step down the
street toward the barracks. When I
see my mates marching beside me In
their matter-of-fact and stolid way, 1
feel ashamed, and call myself a
wretched coward. What a weak-
nerved, hysterical breed, that can no
longer look at blood without fainting!
You neurasthenic offspring of your
sturdy peasant forbears, who shouted
for Joy when they went out to fight!
I pull myself together and throw my
head back.
1 never was a coward, and eye for
eye I have always looked my man in
the face, and will do so this time, too,
happen what may.
stretch out my arms toward the van-
ishing figure. A sob chckes my throat.
Then I start, and am sitting up In
bed, resting on my elbow. Through
the window sounds the long-drawn
reveille. Dawn Is peeping through the
panes.
So I did nod off after all, and I did
have a pleasant dream. But I have
no tlmo to be grumpy over It, for foot-
steps are ringing along the corridor.
Hobnail boots clatter across the floor.
The door is flung open

CHAPTER IV.
The Last Night.
I am lying in bed, and counting a
hundred slowly. It must be close on
midnight now, and I am still unable
to get to sleep
The room resounds to the noise of
snoring. They are lying to the right
and left of me, and if I turn over on
my back, I am Btaring up at the wood-
en planking of a bed. For the cots
extend all along the wall from door to
window, one above the other, and in
every cot a soldier is lying asleep.
Now and again one or other tosses
about, and rolls heavily over to the
other side.
Further away, near the window,
some one la mumbling in his sleep
Suddenly he shouts out aloud; "And
that wasn't me. I ain't touched a bit
of the wire. D'you take me for a
thief?"
it sounds exactly as If he were wide-
awake. I am on the point of speak-
ing to him. Then all Is silence again,
and I lie listening Intently for what
Is going to happen next. But he keeps
quiet, and goes on dreaming. He Is
still In the midst of his workshop;
yet tomorrow he Is going to be carted
out to war.
And nothing but sleeping and snor-
ing men all round me.
Wonder If any one else In barracks
Is lying wide-eyed and Btaring Into
the future?
My thoughts flit homeward. Won-
der whether she slept well tonight?
Wonder if she has chanced to be
thinking of mo? Wonder how the lit-
tle chap Is getting on? His teeth
were giving him trouble. . , . ' It
Is not good to marry so young; the
unmarried men who are called out
now are better off. Wonder whether
the war will last long? We have put
by a little nest-egg. But what's the
good of that In these time of famine
prices? The allowance for wife and
children Is so small that It won't even
cover rent. Where's she to turn for
money when the post office savings
book is finished? She will have to go
out sewing. But what's to happen
when- hundreds of thousands of oth-
ers have to go out sewing too? Well,
then she will have to start a little
business, open a greengrocer's shop.
But what's to happen when hundreds
of thousands of others have to start
a shop?
The state is taking charge of your
wives and children, that's what It said
In the regimental orders yesterday.
Well, there is no use In imagining
the very worst from the start. The
war may be over quickly. Perhaps It
will never get as far as big battles.
Perhaps they will think better of It,
and give way yet.
And then my mind feels at ease
again. In spirit I see myself b ck
again at my office desk and writing
Invoices. A glance at the clock—it's
close on the hour—only a few more
strokes of the pen. So let's finish up
quickly. Let's hang up our office coat
on the nail and Blip Into another.
And then get out Into th street, for
Dora must bo waiting supper.
By this time we have already
reached the brldg* by the town hall,
with the two big triple lamps. . . .

of the bridge, and gazing down into

time he has already reached the next
door. And sleepy figures are rising
from their cots, yawning and stretch-
ing their arms: are turning out and
slipping, shivering with cold, into their
clothes. Yawning, they stretch their
limbs and flap their arms until the
second more welcome morning signal.
"Breakfast rations," lends life and ani-
mation to fasting men.
CHAPTER V.
The Departure.
We are already drawli up In the bar-
rack-yard in service kit. We have
stacked our rifles and have fallen out.
No one thinks of kit Inspection or
anything of that kind today. Every-
thing is now being pushed on at racing
pace.
"Fall in!"
"Stand by your packs!"
How heavy the full knapsack weighs
In one's hands, and yet as soon as It is
settled in the small of your back you
do not notice It so very much.
"Stand by arms!"
"Slope arms!"
As If we were marching out for pa-
rade, the captain's orders sound as
crisp as that. We shoulder arms as
#martly aB If we were moving out on
parade.
"Form sections! Right about turn!
Quick march!"
And we swing round smartly in four
at the command.
"Fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth com-
pany!" shouts the major, who has
pulled up In the middle of the yard.
We are the eighth company, and are
following on the heels of the seventh
The gates of the barrack-yard are
open. We are marching out. Our legs
mark time on the pavement of the
street In the goose-step of grand pa
rade.
"March at ease!"
And the muscles of our legs relax
and advance at more natural gait
The streets are full of people. They
are lining the pavement on both sides
and watching us march past. Though
It is still quite an early hour of the
morning, yet the whole town is up and
about. They weren't able to stay
abed. They wanted to see the soldiers
march out.
And they welcome ub with their
eyes and wave their hands to us
A fifteen-year-old lad Is running
along beside us. His brother is
marching In our file.
"Mother sends you her love; she
says she Is feeling better again—but
she wasn't well enough to get up yet,
else she'd have come with me this
morning—but I was to give you this
from her."
And the lad stretches his open hand
out to his brother, and tries to hand
him something wrapped up In paper-
money! But the elder brother waves
it aside.
"Put It away. Tell her I said Bhe
was to Bpend it on herself, and to
look after herself properly, and be
well and fit wl en we come back
agal%"
Reluctantly the lad puts the money
in his pocket.
A little ahe#d of us a young woman
Is tripping alongside. We have set a
pretty smart pace, and she has to
break Into a run to keep up. But
though her feet may stumble over the
uneven pavement she never turns her
eyes from her husband. What they
may have to say to each other at the
very last moment we can't catqh. But
we catch the expression of her face,
and her comically touching devotion.
And now the crowds accompanying
their soldiers through the streets be-
come denser and denser. A few folk
who are seeing memberB of their fam-
ily or are running beside every sec-
tion. White-haired fathers and
mothers, with anxious looks, sisters,
sweethearts, wives.
There is one among them of whom
you can tell at a glance that she Is
about to become a mother. Well, she
will be brought to bed lonely and deso-
late.
The man marching on my right, a
taciturn yokel, who until now has been
staring gloomily straight ahead of him,
half turns to me.

recover the money, and a Judgment
againts Anderson was given.
It was contended by Anderson that
a suit against him to recover the
money could not be maintained, be-
cause the claim for the extra compen-
sation had been duly approved and
ordered paid by the commissioners.
The court holds the commissioners
acted without authority of law, and
therefore their act had no legal force
and effect.
The additional duties imposed by
the legislature on the county treas-
urer were germane to the regular
duties of the office and could properly
be imposed without providing addi-
tional compensation; this according
to Judge Phil D. Brewer, who wrote
the opinion.
No officer of the state or county,
the court holds, is entitled to receive
compensation for services unless he
can show some specific authority of
law for receiving such compensation.
CHOCTAWS HOLD A CONVENTION
Want Common Property Sold and Pro-
ceeds Divided.
McAlester.—The exclusion of Miss-
issippi Choctaws from the tribal rolls,
an immediate per capita payment suf-
ficient to meet the necessities of the
Oklahoma tribesmen and the sale of
all property held in common in order
to hasten final settlement of tribal
affairs are urged in resolutions adopt-
ed by the general convention of Choc-
taw Indians held here last week. The
resolution asking for the sale of tribal
property includes even Indian board-
ing schools, the coal and asphalt de-
posits under the surface lands which
are to be sold in November. Amalga-
mation and not segregation of citizen-
ship is what the Indians desire, says
the resolution referring to the aboli-
tion of boarding schools. The conven-
tion urges that Indian children be
sent to public schools. The proposi-
tion for the sale of mineral deposits is
that the United States government
should buy them.
To Increase Supply of Salmon.
Important experiments have recent-
ly been made by the fisheries expert
for British Columbia in connection
with the hatchery operations. Last *1
year at Seaton lake, instead of plac-
Ing all the sockeye salmon eggs in
trays, as has been the custom hereto-
fore, a plan was adopted more iu
keeping with the natural methods fol-
lowed by the fish. The eggs, after
having been inoculated with the
lurnyh, were buried under five to sev-
en inches of sand and gravel. Over
200,000 ova were thus treated iu tanks
especially made therefor, and as a re-
sult 180,000 healthy fry have been
taken out with the possibility of more
to follow. This is a splendid record,
as compared with the old pan sys-
tem, and it is believed by the experts
that the new method will revolution-
ize the business of the hatcheries.

To Concentrate in Cholera Fight.
What county in Oklahoma wants
hog cholera absolutely exterminated
within its borders? There is an oppor-
tunity for some one county in the state
to have a corps of trained experts in
the federal bureau of animal industry
invade its borders and chase Mr. Hog
Cholera to his everlasting lair.
This is made possible under the
appropriation of half a million dollars
recently created by congress to be
used in combating the dread disease
that has already claimed hundreds of
hogs in Oklahoma this year, not to
mention the thousands dying from it
in other states of the union. Dr. F.
B. White of the bureau, who has of-
fices in the Federal building in Okla-
homa City, is at the head of the work
in this state. He has done a great d"al
of general extermination work, but
will now individualize by counties af-
ter the manner of the cattle tick ex-
termination campaign of the same
bureau.
Would Cut Assessment.
A reduction of $45,000 in the as-
sessed valuation of its properties for
the last fiscal year is asked by the
Henryetta Gas Company, in an appeal
filed with the supreme court from an
order of the state board of equaliza-
tion, which assessed the company on
a valuation of $75,000. It is asserted
by the company that the fair cash
value of its properties is $30,000. the
price it would likely bring if offered
for sale, and that the order of the
board of equalization fixing its value
at $75,000 is excessive.
More Complaints On Ginning Rates.
Five ginning concerns are made de-i
fendants in as many separate com-
plaints, alleging excessive charges for
ginning cotton,, wilich were filed with
the corporation commission. The com-
panies are the A. H. Davis and Son
uin Company of Gracemont; Guthrie
Cotton Gin Co. of Blackburn, Brink-
ham Gin, and Williams & Miller Gin
Co., both of Brinkham, and the Plant-
ers Gin Co. of Hammon. Each of the
complaints asks the commission to
issue an order fixing the price at 50
^nts per 100 pounds.
Horse Shipment Bound For Greece.
Twenty-five cair'loads of Oklahoma
City and Bliss horses left for Galves-
ton and thence by ship to Greece last
week. The cars will average twenty-
five horses each, making a total in
the shipment of C25 head valued at
close to $100,000, The Rock Island
lines recently shipped 120 car loads of
horses to Galveston for French and
British syndicates, the animals being
assembled at Fort Worth. Oklahoma
Greeks will accompany the horses and
the ships will sail under the Greek
flag.

Asking County to Pay Penalties.
Arapaho. — Many Important issues
of law are to he decided when district
court convene November 4, including
the demurrers in four cases in which
the cities of Weatherford and Clinton,
together with school districts, are
seeking Judgment against Custer
county for penalties on their taxes for
several years back. The eases are
similar to those ponding in Oklahoma
county, in which the county is being
sued for penalties Already collected by
the county treasurer and turned into
the sinking fund of the county.
The Pioneer Mother.
The school children of California
are saving up their pennies to pay
for the monument to the pioneer
mother which is to be erected by
Charles Gradfley for the Panama-Ba-
ltic exposition. The woman's board
of the exposition suggested that such
a statue be erected and the children
were the first to respond, sending in
an avalanche of pennies. The cen-
tral figure is that of the pioneer moth-
er dressed in a homespun gown and
at her knees are two sturdy little
children.
The average woman may not be
much at mathematics, but she does a
lot of figuring in trying to perfect
her figure.
