THE MOLLIECODDLES
By FREDERICK WAIWORTH BROWN

vance was in skirmish formation and
far more difficult to stop.
Men began to fall behind the
breast-work Bullets sang over their
heads and spat yiciously into the wall
IN front Of them.
But fifteen of the needed twenty
minutes had elapsed II they could
| hang on for five more!
They were firing at will now. The
volleys had ceased, but there was a
steady. continuous rattle of musketry
The colonel walked back and forth
behind his line. liercely chewing his
mustache. pausing to glance at the
cloud Of skirmishers coming steadily
on, or noting with a groan that his
left was overlapped for a quarter OF
a mile and must speedily be turned.
II could not be helped. He was
holding what he could, but his line
was woefully thin and every moment
becoming thinner The singing bul-
let's took a steady toll
Down the slope before the stone
wall a mass e men pressed forward
yelling. The thin line behind the wall
concentrated all its fire upon them,
but II no longer availed. On they
came, dogged, determined.
Men dropped steadily, but still they
came on. The twenty minutes were
up Where were the reinforcements? &?
The colonel glanced about. Woods
behind him shut out all view OF the
regiments and brigades hurrying
breakneck TO the rear that had be.
come the front.
All he knew was that he was alone.
protecting the army from overwhelm.
ing defeat. Cowards, were they?
Even In that red, fiery moment he
had time for an instant of bitter pride
and exultation as he viewed his dead
behind the stone wall.
The rushing mass IN front was
close up now He knew he could NOT
stop them. He lacked the men. He
had held them back for more than the
time demanded of him.
Should he order his men 10 fall
back The regiment had done fits
work. More could not reasonably be
asked OF them.
lhey were outflanked on either
hand, and about TO be overwhelmed.
Should he order them back?
There came to him another thought.
They called us cowards." and with
that he hurried along tho line with
the command Fix bayonets."
lie would stay there and meet
them. II 1t cost him every man. They
called us towards, boys" he shouted
This is our chance"
On came that yelling wave in front
Loading ard firing as fast as thev
could the remnant OF the regiment
could not stop 1t. But not a man be.
mind the stone wall finched before II
The inevitable weakllngs that are
IN every regiment had long since
sought the rear Those who staved
would stay to the end.

They were lamentably Jew, bu,
those few were bad men TO face. Al
their colonels call they rose, grippivg
their weapons, whole men, men witt
bleeding heads, men with limp arms,
men who rose only to fall again and
again struggle to rise.
With yell the wave broke over
the stone wall, and in an instant the
MolHecoddleS were overwhelmed
Fighting like demons, madmen, OF
heroes, they went down before su
perior numbers, but not before they
had taken full toll for their defeat.
Through his glasses the general in
command saw their heroic stand. The
regiments breaking from the woods
behind saw 1t and burst into cheers.
A sudden wave of firing broke out on
either hank, and then the conquerine
enemy reeled before the charge OF
the advancing regiments.
A moment of fighting hand to hand.
bayonet to bayonet, and then the
fresh troops dropped behind the stonsJ
wall and poured calling fire into
the retreating foe. The day was won,
the army was saved, and it was the
Molliecoddles who had done it.
In the camp of the Mollecoddles
that evening men sat weary and de.
Jected about the fires. Their attitude
seemed much the same as on that
other evening There were gaps In
every group, and mems voices were
low and awestricken.
They discussed their casualties with
an appearance of wonderment. Tuck.

What regiment is that?" called an

The Molliecoddes," came the de.

OH" said the officer, and the bat.

But every gunners eyes turned sud.
oenly toward the camp-fires. and the
Moiliecoddles returned the gaze with

Organization I'm North Dakota -

to Produce Better Seed.
ID bontantcal department of the
North Dakota agricultural college,
after some years Of seed selection
methods and definite cropping expert.
mcnts, has produced strains Of max
that have the power to grow on old
fax cropped wilt-stick lands and pro-
duce approximately normal yields OF
fax.
In order. that North Dakota may
have direct benefit of the methods and
So much money to obtain. it has been
suggested that these methods be car
ried direct to the farmer. and in such
manner that the benefits will come
in the shortest possible time, and in
such manner that the benefits will be
of permanent value to the state as a
whole. i.
In order to accomplish this, it. lie
proposed that q Flax Growers ASSOC
citation be organized, the membership
of which shall be composed Of actual
growers. II to several. operating
members in each county. Each grow
err would operate five or ten acre plots,
breeding disease resistant fax, which
would supply the seed for increase"
fields. which in turn would supply
the state.
Prof. H.L.Bolley of the agricultural
college, who has charge Of the work.
desires to hear from farmers who will
undertake the special methods neces-
sary to produce reliable resistant seed
so that this work may get a good
start this coming spring. He believes
that the farmer will reap q greater
yield. and be otherwise benefited.
