gate. They were confoundedly short
good-bys. CATER Breitenmoser wasted
no words. He clapped his son on
the shoulder. Do your duty he
said-no more. And his son was
even a trifle shorter about it. He
said nothing at ALL He simply looked
at his father. But what look! And
then he swung on at q tr0t and was
gone.
THAT was yesterday. Today they
came and fetched away CATER Brei-
tenmoser's horse-for the war. The

clapped his horse on the shoulder.

And the horse was q trifle shorter

CATER Breitenmoser. And then he
