it was the smell of the oil that did it

But Gordon continued to look at him
doubtfully.

ing to his friends, ''if a man changes

What is it, orderly?" he finished, sud-
denly, as the tent flaps parted and a
soldier in complete uniform girt with
his belt of glistening cartridges, stood
at salute, some visiting cards in his
gloved hand.
Lieut.. Gray here, sir?" was the com
prehensive answer. Then, catching
sight of the young officer, who stepped
quickly forward, he held forth the
cards.
"The adjutant generals compli-

Gray took the cards, curiously stud

the other, and placing the topmost un-

"I'm sure l never met any of them

"that" was the only name now in sight.
'I'm off" he suddenly announced, and
vanished.
There was a sound of light, quick
footsteps on the flooring of the rear
ward tent at the same time. The SER

the clock, then, inquiringly, at his regi.

just the hour of the day at which all

from division and brigade headquar-

stacked up for the colonels action.
This was the young clerk Morton's
especial function, but Morton had left

WICKED-LOOKING WEAPON.
Description of the Mauser Pistol
That Is to he Used by United

THE new Mauser pistol, with which
our cavalry is about to be armed, is a
horrible looking piece of machinery"
said an esthetic sportsman the other day.
at doesn't resemble a firearm at all,
but looks like some strange scientific
instrument, such as one might see in
laboratory. Imagine cigar box,
japanned black, with handle at one
end and n short tube at the other, and
there you have it. The box contains
the mechanism and the tube spouts
bullets. The cavalryman of the past
was a dashing figure. He wore a steel
cuirass and helmet with nodding
plumes, and while he carried brace of
pistols in his holsters, his real weapon
was his trusty saber. Do you remem-
Der the splendid fellows who are gallop-

Since then science has gradually sucked
all the poetry out of war and the Mauser
pistol is the last work of brutal utii-
tarianism. The cavalryman of the
future will carry nothing but small
black walnut box, and will closely re-
semble a surgeon going out to operate
for appendicitis. when he gets to the
right spot, designated by the engineer
corps, he will dismount, open the box,
take out his hideous Mauser machine.

INK ROLLERS USED IN 1oA1.
Not Until Few Years Ago, However
Were They Made of Glue and
MOlnsses.

AS long ago as the year 1041, SO
history tells us, Chinese blacksmith,
Pl-Ching by name, made a paste of
glutinous earth upon which he en-
graved separate characters. These
he baked, making movable type of
earthenware.
Even to this day in China the i'm
preston is made by linking the type
with brush; n thin absorbent paper
is then laid upon the face of the type
and pressed lightly with dry brush.
We have now the first way by which
ink was transmitted to type.
This way of taking an impression
continued until about 1474. when pelt
balls were introduced. If in perfect"
order these would do good work.
They We're made in the following
way:
a piece of strong grain pelt or skin
was selected, and from this the grease
had to be entirely removed. 1t was
then soaked IA or Is hours and after
ward "curried" by drawing it across
a post until every particle of the
dampness had gone. Then long tread
my ny Ine 1eeJ followed.
Wool was wrapped under the skin
and the pelt was tightly placed over,
but the great difficulty of the opera
ton led to the introduction, about
1907, by Mr.. Maxwell, of Philadelphia,
OF the dressed sheepskins or skin
rollers" as they were called. But
they, too, were abandoned, being
fpnnH too hnny-1y hn hop
About 1915 Mr.. Fanshaw, of New
York, introduced an improved roller
made by wrapping blanket some
eight times around a piece of wood
3H inches in diameter, turned true,
and with an iron spindle on each end.
The skin was then tightly wound
around the blanket and afterwards
nailed to the wooden end.
1t was in 1917, by the merest chance,
in one of the potteries in Stafford
shire, England, that the composition
of glue and molasses first saw the
light. This composition was used in
the pottcries for what are commonly
called "dabbers.'
Mr.. b. Foster, of Weybridge, Eng
land, was the first printer to apply
this composition to letterpress print
ing; but even he did not understand
it's great usefulness. He merely
spread it, when in a liquid state, upon
a piece of canvas and then made a
ball of it, This is the only way in
which it differed from the pelt ball.
The inventors of printing machin-
cry were not quite so slow, however.
About 1890 the composition was used
as coating on wooden cylinders;
and here we have the first application
for printing presses worthy the name
of roller" without which printing
machinery could never have reached
the state of perfection it has attained

those fellows at headquarters unload
them on us in less than no time, but a
brace of pretty girls! Why, they
double the gate guards so that no out
slider can so much as see them. Biay,
here, knows 'em. Ask him."
By this time the youngster had ranged
up alongside the adjutant and was
laughingiy enjoying the latest arrivals
TRADE at the expense of the headquar-
ters' staff, but at his closing words
den left his face, giving way to look
of blank amaze.

"They asked for you, just the same,
just after you started. Least one of 'em
did-for What's s-his-name ?-the chief
military legal adviser, came out bare
headed and called after you, but you
were out of hearing. He said the cousin,
the prettiest one, recognized you as you
skipped away from the generals tent,
and pointed you out to her friend.
Somebody explained you were running
an errand for one of those aids too lazy
to go himself, and that you'd be back
presently"
Then go at once, young man." said
the adjutant, laying a mighty hand on
the juniors square shoulder. Stand
not upon the order of your going, but
git! Never you mind about the colonel
He won't be here until after he's been
there, and he's in for a rasping over this
mornings inspection. Just look at the
report, Sergeant major send me Col
Colts report" he called aloud, tossing
his head back as he spoke. "5ome in,
Parson, come out of the wet" And,
eager enough to read famous inspec-
tors criticisms of the appearance of the
regiment, the officer addressed as Par
son showed brislly into the tent.
The young soldier who had opened
the tent flap few minutes before came
forward with folded paper which,
in silence, he handed the adiutant and
turned back to his desk. Mr.. Gordon
took the paper, but his eyes followed
the soldier. Then he called, somewhat
sharply:

The young fellow stopped at the di-
viding crack between the two tent
floors and slowly faced the three Off
