MODERN WARFARE

There are not wanting authorities
r-ith reference 20 things military who
aver that the Improvement in arms
has actually rendered warfare less
destructive. and that in these DAYS Of
FEARFUL engines Of war the s'a ightG-
Is much less than it was in tie Old
days Of muskets Of bows and arrows
and OF hand to hand conflicts. In ad-

l saw how you'd march right up to

And it came, two months later, in

sheepishly outside the catin. Nelly
emerged. The girl appeared trans
formed: the crisis seemed to have pro-
duced in her a store of resolution and
resource.
I'm going to take charge, joe she
said You better start a fire. Mr..
Jocelyn. you'll help US, won't you?"
But into Jocelyns head the germ
of an idea had come. He had wronged
both Joe and the girl. If unconsciously
so; now it was his duty to remedy the
wrong so far as lay in his power. And
just as Nelly had been attracted to him
in his stories of heroic deeds. so now
he could change her admiration into
contempt by displaying quite opposite
qualities.
I'D like to help" he stammered.
"but don't go inside that cottage,
Miss Nelly"
'Why?" she asked. looking at him
in surprise.
'Tm-Im afraid of smallpox" he
muttered. Isn't it very catching"
He saw Joe Porter looking at him
in wonder.
You won't help my father" asked
the girl in establishment. You're not
afraid, Mr.. Jocelyn?"
I'm not going TO risk my life" said
Jocelyn sheepishly. I'm visitor
here and pay. If were in Joe's place
it might be different"
The girl turned on her heel without
q word, leaving him standing there,
Joe set about making a fire; then he
prepared the meal, while Jocelyn sat
beside the sluice gates and watched
the torrent roaring beneath him. Dur
ing the supper nobody spoke a word
But afterward, when Joe had gone
inside the hut to speak with the sick
man, Nelly turned to Jocelyn suddenly
'You-wasn't you joking?" she fal
tered, turning upon him look full o.
anxiety. Her blue eyes were distressed
and fearful.
Not by a jugful," Jocelyn answered

thirgs in time for you to catch the
train
Jocelyn returned no answer and the
guide, bending to his oars, pulled the
boat 20 the bank and grounded her.
Jocelyn stepped out and the men stood
facing each other.
Well Porter asked, what is it to
be-"
But before Jocelyn could answer a
figure emerged through the under
brush and hailed them, stopping just
within shouting call. 1t was the sta
ton agent.
Keep back" he shouted You got
to go back to the sluice gates, both
OF you, and stay there till fresh orders
come"
What do you mean?" cried Jocelyn.
''WhOse orders?"
Board OF health's," shouted the
agent. Bill Farland's sick with the
smallpox and you're all quarantined
The doc seen him yesterday night and
posted quarantine notices. Keep back,
keep back: | amt going TO risk my
life. Go back TO the gates. It's a
year in prison if you break quaran-
tine"
He disappeared upon the run. For
awhile the two men stared at each 9TH
er in silence. AT last, reckoning to
Jocelyn to follow him, Joe Porter took
Up his pack and preceded him along
the trail homeward.
They reached their destination al
nightfail and found a horse and buggy
beside the sluice and q doctor there
chafing at the delay.
You've heard the orders" he said
you'll both have TO stay here till
quarantine removed Its a mild case
and there won't be any danger of hi:
dying. I'll be back in a week to see
what progress has been made. Now
bare your arms; I'm going to vaccinate

Before leaving he explained that

AS the two men stood somewhat

drawing back from the fire. "Keey
back, Miss Nelly. You might have
caught some OF the infection"
20, l amt a-going to catch you, Mr..
Jocelyn." she answered with intense
scorn. Don't be afraid of me. You
shall be looked after, Mr.. Paving
Guest, just as though father WASH
sick and likely to Lie-dont let that
trouble you" And she swept back
into the cottage.
No man likes to assume the coward,
and Jocelyn was sorely tempted dur
ing the days that ensued 10 go back
upon his purpose and display his prop
er qualities. Then. too. with this new
strength that had come 10 the girl
during her time of trouble, she seemed
to have acquired fresh charm and
dignity. Her very looks of scorn in
creased the young mans admiration;
her courage and cleveTness impressed
his mind. Jocelyn knew these symp-
toms from of old time; he was falling
in love with her.
So the more temptation came the
more assiduously he played his part.
He shrank from her and from Por-
tie as though he feared the cOntamina-
ton of the disease he sIouched. a
lonely figure, about the neighborhood,
unspeaking, UnspOksn to. Porter him

diligently, bringing in good catches
each evening which he would fling
down at the threshold of the cottage
keeping as far away as possible. And
al night, taking his blankets, he would
. remove as far as he could from the
danger zone 10 rest UnGeT the stars.
On the sixth day the doctor came
again. The patient had progressed ad
mirabIy: much Of his time he had
spent in the cabin. He seemed on the
highroad TO recovery, hut none was
prepared for the physicians encoUrag

man as you are, Mr.. Jocelyn. and /
guess my ways is as rough as my
clothes, and if the child thinks more
of you than she does OF me I don't
have no hard feelings toward her. But
II don't seem somehow natural to me,
sir. that a rich city man such as your
self would want to marry q girl Of
poor mountain folks like hers. And
intend to marry her"
Nothing has been said or suggested
about our marrying, Porter, Jocelyn
said calmly. but no longer making any
pretense of casting. Miss Nelly was
distressed and was trying TO soothe
her"
Porter nodded his head slowly.
I'm country bred, Mr.. Jocelyn," he
said. "and don't know city folks
ways But what | say is this" and
he brought down his fist into his palm
with a resounding thump-"when a
gentleman puts his arms round a girl
and says no word about marrying her,
why. he don't mean no good ty her"
We'll, what are you going to do
about it, Porter" asked Jocelyn.
This is what I'm a-going to do, sir, .

leave by tonight's train"
I'll be damned if l do said Joce-
Ign.
And III be damned, in this world

guide For you'll never speak TO that
girl again, If it means murder. You
think you're a fine hero with your
tales OF the battles you've seen and
you're just a common lump OF mud
Jocelyn wound up his line and dis.
jointed his rod.
Since you seem in an unpleasant
mood, Porter" he said, you may
take me home"

guide rejoined. "and I'll put you OF

Iour years. About a year thereafter
Prussia overcame Austria in seven
short weeks. and in 1871 the German
power overwhelmed that OF France in
some eight months. 1t took Uncle
Sam only ninety days to dissipate the
power Of Spain IN two oceans.
If the figures of history are correct
terrible slaughter reigned in the old
days when men met in hand-to-hand
conflict and quarter was neither ask
ed nor given. In 451 A. D.. at the
battle of Chalons, when Attila the
Hun and the Roman legions under
Aetius met. it is said that not fewer
than 100000 men We're slain. Indeed
by some the number of killed has
been placed as high as S00.000 At
Hastings some 10000 men fell
though the numbers engaged were
small in comparison with those in
modern battles
We are told that az the Netaurus
Hasdrubars Carthaginians were prac'
tically annihilated At Aquae Sex-
tiae and Verzellae the Cimbri and
Teutons were completely exterminat,
ed by Marius; a hundred years later
10000 Romans were wiped out by
Arminius in TeutOberg Forest and
10000 Roman citizens of the Greek
cities were slain in a single day by
the soldiers of Mithridates. At CreCv
there fell 1900 French knights 1.4O0

men were killed at Agincourt and
$4,000 were taken prisoners; and
about 10000 men, too, weres lain out
of the 10000 who fought at Flodden;
while out of the 100000 engaged in
reported to have fallen in the battle
and pursuit.
In all thes old-time battles. where
the weapons were bows and arrows,
swords and battle axes, and where no
weapon was available that could kill
at distance of more than few hun.
dred yards. the mortality frequently
rose to one in every three or four
fighters engaged. and sometimes ex.
ceeded this enormous percentage;
whereas in modern battles, with
weapons far more deadly. a proper.
ton of one in twenty, it is claimed,
has rarely been exceeded.
At Alma the casualties were fifty.

tyfour. In the Crimean war it has
been calculated 742 shots were re-
quired to dispatch one fighter, and at
Gibraltar 25S .2S7 shot and shell found
only 1871 human targets, of
these many were merely wounded.
During the Franco Prussian war one
fighter was disabled by every 254
