CHAPTER ~.
Times Have chanoed.

The SD of the Browns had started
for La Tir on the same day that the
12Sth Of the Grays had started fol
South La Tir. While the 12Sth was
going to new scenes, the SD was re
turning to familiar ground. II had de
trained in the capital of the province
from which its ranks had been recruit
ed. After a steep incline, there was q
welcome bugle note and with shouts
of delight the centipede's legs broke
apart Bankers. laborers', doctors
Wallets, butchers. manufacturers and
judges sons threw themselves down
on the greensward OF the embankmenI
to rest. With their talk of home, Of
relatives whom they had met at the
station. and OF the changes In the town
was mingled talk Of the crisis.
Meanwhile, an aged man was ap
preaching. At times he would break
into kind Of trot that ended, after o
few steps, In shortness Of breath. He
was quite withered, his bright eyes
twlnkling out Of an area of moth
patches. and he wore frayed uniform
coat with medal on the breast.
