 Even while the old cavalry leader was swearing a delegation of civilians sent to visit the camp officially, was gathered at headquarters. The visitors were haggard and worried; but, with the ever ready optimism of the ex- traordinary American race, the most worried one of them all said: "A splen- did army Looks fit to fight for its life. We are sure that you will give good account of yourselves, general, against any force''
 The major general did not reply. In the immediate line of his vision lay the sanitary camp. There, beside his own regulars, lay sanitary troops of the state militia that had come into camp without ambulance companies, without field hospitals, without medi-

 A. grizzled colonel of cavalry rode by. Under his shaggy eyebrows he shot a. glance at the helpless battery and swore. He dated back to Indian times, and they said of him in the army that he knew nothing except cavalry tao tics and horses. But he knew them, and he was breaking his old heart over the militia cavalry that had come un- der his command.
 Some he had that were good enough to win his full praise, but none of these was full as to quota of men. The colo mel of the best of the regiments was riding at his side. It was an organized force of rich men, each of whom had brought his own mount, trained as carefully as any cavalry horse and perfectly equipped. sFine, sir, f1ner' said the old Indian fighter.

DEER LAW IN EFFECT AUG. |.
Farmers Then May Shoot Animals on
 Their Own Land.

The new deer law. which goes into effect Aug. 1, says: t'The owner of real estate, or the lessee of land leased for agricultural purposes for a period of not less than one year, or any member of his family or bona fde employe, with the permission of such owner or lessee, may kill with a. shotgun or capture any deer, buck, doe or fawn on land owned or so leased by him, provided this act shall not be construed to permit any per son to set or use a salt lick or cap ture, take or attempt to take any deer, buck, doe or fawn by means of any trap, snare or device Any deer killed or taken pursuant to the provisions of this act shall be the property of the owner or lessee of the land upon which the same was killed or taken, provided the person who shall kill or take such deer, shall within twenty-four hours there after report the same to the commits sioners of fisheries and game.
 l. Amy person who shall fail to re- port the killing or taking of any deer to the commissioners of fisheries and game, or who shall kill or take any deer, except upon land owned or leased by him as herein provided, un- less he shall be a member of the owner or lessee, shall be fined not more than $1Oo or imprisoned not more than sixty days or both.''
 The act .repeals the laws which have made the state responsible for damage done by the deer. Salt Hcks are forbidden but there is nothing to prohibit a sturdy and honest farmer from sprinkIing salt in the back pas ture for his cattle and, if the deer wish to risk their lives by nibbling at it so much the worse for the deer. It may also be guessed that the far Ioy a good many more bona fde employees ] than they did under the first com pensation law. If a city man comes out to a friend and desires to work l for a couple of days no kind hearted l farmer will have the heart to refuse
 to hire him, especially if he brings a l shotgun along.

 The volunteer, emerging from a fog bank, saw ships. Instantly he went up, up, up. It was a racing one man biplane. He thanked heaven for its speed, for even as he was looking down on the ships little things detached themselves from the decks and arose. They were specks at first, but in a moment they had grown. He watched them grow out of corner of his eye, but with all the vision, all his concen- trated attention. he looked at the fleet
 There, surrounded by war vessels, he saw a long line of immense two funneIed, three funneled and four fun neled steamships, and he knew that ne was the first American to see the troops transports of the enemy.
 He was turning in sharp circle to flee even while he counted them. He was darting toward the coast with five navy planes behind him, coming on the wings of their explosive storm.
 He wondered if they were firing at him. All that he knew was that his world just then was only one blur of whistling, strangling, smiting air and deafening roar. He struck hole in the air and pitched sharply. He swept over the fog bank. It could not help him now. He dared not sink low enough to hide in it. Shining brightly in the bright air, he volleyed straight on, as if he were going to dash into the blue wall of sky ahead.
