Not even the colonel, who had been .

But when the major-general had
collected the shattered remnant of his
forces on the safe side of the river.
he felt the need of a scapegoat, as
the colonel had OWNED, and recog-
nized the Molliecoddles as the logical
and helpless candidates for the posi-
ton.
He nominated them accordingly in
his report. and the army, bitter over
defeat and not at all understanding,
instantly elected them unanimously.
In two days the whole country knew,
beyond hope of refutation, that the
Molliecoddles had brought disaster on
the division by conspicuous cowardice
in the face of the enemy.
The Molliecoddles, battered and
still dazed, reviewed the situation
with sort of savage bewilderment.
Individually, they knew they were not
towards. Collectively they were in
articulate, uncertain, perplexed.
Consequently they suffered many
things, though by no means with
meekness. There were black eyes
and broken heads in neighboring regi-
ments, and lively lust for blood and
slaughter in the minds Of the Mollie.

In the meantime they were detailed
to the rear to guard the baggage

against their lot. But Fate had her

not astonishing either for length or

Therefore. because the spirits less
easily discerned than the flesh, their
comrades-in-arms, veterans of two

The regiment suffered the label
with only a mild resentment. Indi-
vidually, they knew they were not

in the future to justify their presence
in arms.
AS regiment they had not yet

IN the camp Of the Molliecoddles,

At the first sign Of trouble the
colonel Of the regiment deployed hil

They would show what sort Of COW

They were madmen, most OF them
at q pin-prick. They had been goadeG
and buffeted with no chance to reply
They had read ironical newspape,
comments by men who had never
smelled powder till their nerve,
were strung like hair-triggers.
Almost to man. they yearned fol

savagery. They wanted to get square
They wanted to clear themselves
They wanted to show up their critics
for the blatant liars they were.
Across a field in front of them came

hurry up the support. Tho colone
stalked along his line.
Across the open ground in front
the enemy neared rapidly. They came
almost recklessly, expecting little Cd
position. The only task they saw be
the river.
They made for the stone wall with
a yell. At sight of the guns in the road
