l have not sed that the study Of
these langwidges Is useless to the
children, beekaus 1t Is useful, SEQ
Mister Dixon. He looked at Pa kind
of hard for a minnit & then he went
on talking to Ma & his wife about
the show witch he had been to see.
newer cud see what good Greek
& Latin is, sed Pa. I studied Latin
for ten years, Pa sed, & I have for
got every bit of 1t that I Termed. It
newer was a single bit of use to me.
l haven't met a Latin Teller to talk
with since 1 graduated. What Is the
use of knowing a lot of Latin s.
then going out to a Hiberntan ball
&, trying to start up conversation?
Nobody thare wud be a Latin q I
wud prubly git thrown out on my

You mustn't mind my deer hus-
band, sed Ma to Mister Dixon. He
is ore of those quaint old-fashioned
peepul that gets an idee into his
he'd & talks about it all the eevning.
One of his cunning traits Is never
to admit that he is wrong about any
thing at any time, sed Ma. I always
humor him, Ma sed.
But l insist that what I am say
ing to the professor Is all truth, sed
Pa. OF course I know thare are q
few Latin phrases like la carte, table
de hotay, & Gesundheit that are
handy to use sumtimes, but on the
other hand the child's brain beecums
all clogged up with a lot of Latin
words that will never be Of any
erthly use to him
l guess Mister Dixon and his wife
seen that Pa dident know what he
was talking about, so thay jest lated
& changed the subjeck, & the rest Of
the eevning Pa was good natured &
fine gentleman, the way he cud
always be Is he wanted to. I thought
he had forgot all about the Latin
argument, but after thay was gone

made them wise Dixons shut up?

TWENTY-NINTH CHAPTER.

vises, being now enmeshed in the
threads of innumerable impulses

firmly convinced that Martins story

CHAPTER THIRTY.

the same dream as before

OF frozen regions and of the great ice
barrier, and then of the broken pen
When | awoke IN the hazy light of
the dawn l thought of what tie Pope
had said about beginning my wedding
day with penance and communion, so
l rose at once TO so to church.
The dawn was broadening, but the
household was still asleep, only the
servants in the kitchen stirring when
I stepped through a side door, and set
out across the fields.
The oew was thick on the grass,
under the gloom OF a heavy sky the
day looked cold and Cheerless. A
wind from the southeast had risen
during the night. the sea was white
with breakers, and from St Mary's
Rock there came the far-off moaning
of surging waves.
The church, too, when / reached it,
looked empty and chill. The sacris-
tan in the dim choir was arranging
lilies and marguerites about the high
altar, and only one poor woman, with
a little red and black shawl over hei
head and shoulders, was kneeling in
the side chapel where Father Dan
was saying mass with n sleepy little
boy In clogs to serve him
The woman was quite young, al
most as young as myself, but she was
already a widow, having lately lost
her husband at the behring's" some
where up by Stornoway. where he had
gone down in gale. leaving her with

ION TO MEXICO"
ELECTR|F|ES 5000
Fifth Brigade Cheers and
Bands Play When March
Order Comes.
BY Harry E. Dunn, Special War Core
spondent of the International
News Service.

SpOnQent OF the international
News Service.
GALVESTON, Tex, April 24.-Five
thousand bronzed and acclimated Am
erican soldiers, comprising the Fifth
brigade, second division of the United
States army, were electrified into sud-
den activity shortly after midnight by
the receipt of orders that meant ION
to Mexico" A great cheer went up
from the military reservation at Fort
Crockett, then the regulars settled
down to the task of getting away.
While tents were being struck, regi-
mental bands played merry airs. The
soldiers paid little attention to the
music. They had gotten what they
had been wanting: Orders to go to the
front.
Before the first private went aboard
the transport. they had been fully pro-
visioned. Piercing whistles from the
vessels had set in motion the neces-
sary machinery for completing the
work of loading the ships-a work
that had been under way for several
days.
Great yellow army automobile trucks
tore through the streets to the docks
with horns shrieking, taking the final
loads of camp supplies. Under the
glare of searchlights the men worked
rapidly on the docks. and the big
cranes swung the cargoes aboard.
Officers of the quartermaster's de-
partment worked without any sloop.
| Galveston got no sleep after midnight.
j Thousands turned out to watch the
| departure and a vast cheer went up
when the Twenty eighth infantry, I'M
der the command of Colonel E. H.
| Plummer, swung out of the portals of
| Fort Crockett into a dense fog into
Seawall boulevard and thence across
the city to the docks.
Immediately following came the
Seventh infantry, the Nineteenth and
| the Fourth. The engineers, hospital
| corps and field batteries had gone
aboard during the night.
