send him over. The kind that believes
anything anybody tells him. Then they
over there will believe him. And what we
are going to do nobody but you and will
know. Well, have you any such 'steed OF
God'?"
The sotnik strikes his body with both
hands. smiles and mods. There is a Ras-
kolnik here"
as that SO, Little Brother
Both burst into violent peals of laughter
as if overcome by the humor Of the situa-
ton.
They would send the Raskolnik-the
sectarian who was prepared to die at any
moment rather than sin in any particular
against the teachings of Jesus, who even
in war abhorred attacking the enemy and
wanted only to defend himself-one Of
these religious enthusiasts who had to be
driven into military service with whip.
What Joke for these two Orthodox Slavs
to load upon this "steed Of God" the blood
guilt of their stratagem
They laugh-laugh till their eyes fill
with water.
Half an hour later young cavarryman
trots away into the murky dawn.
The fresh wind of the steppe whistles
about his ears. Over his head 1utters the
little white flag, which they have fastened
to the top of his lance.
"How is it that he has found so much
favor in the eyes of his commander as TO
be sent as parlamentaire to the enemy!
But he puzzles little about that. He is
glad that the poor creatures Of God VINO
have been driven like mice out of their
holes will be allowed to go tomorrow over
into the camp of their friends. He must be
a real man, the colonel, even if so far the
soldiers have found little good in him.
In the east it is getting lighter. Already
silyery wave spreads over the plain
from the edge of the horizon. By the time
he arrives at the first entrenchment 1t Will
be so light that the enemy can easily see
the flag on his lance.
1T is cold" he muses.. "But yet it is
already spring, and where my horse steps
the snow gives way. Soon the steppe will
be green again, just as it will be back in
Russia"
And in the midst of the deep silence
which surrounds him, in sight of all the
horrible traces which war and death have
left upon his pathway, there blossoms out
of his innocent soul a pure, sweet memory
of home. He recalls the straw-covered hut,
the calm and mighty waves of the distant

Crocheron is himself an American by birth.
He is one of "London's Owns" most pop

Newspapermen have not "been back

arms, and on the staff Of officers Of the
142d are no less than three former Lon

Hart, formerly connected with "The Lon

of brotherhood among all ranks.

Don, the peace of the steppe purllng ike
a breath from heaven through the tall
grasses.
He was only pious PEASANTS son-not
a Cossack. But now they have put him as
a supernumerary in Cossack regiment,
and he must go along, through all the
blood. through all the horror.
With slight shudder he puts his hand
upon the crucfix beneath his soldiers coat
and crosses himself.
"God grant me His grace"
On the other side they had caught sight
of him. A sentinel advanced to meet him.
Soon he stands before the Austrian officer.
The latter is handsome, sturdy man.
Everything neat about him, although he
has lain so long with his men in the
trenches. Close up to him the soldier
stands, so that he can feel the others
breath-but it doesn't smell of brandy
The grey eyes hold him fast while he
speaks. Not muscle moves. But sud
denly he laughs in the messengers face.
"Good Now ride back. And say 70

know my duty, and should innocent blood
be shed the blame will rest on you"
He speaks and turns upon his heel The
sentinel leads the detected messenger back
to his horse and calls scornfully after him:
Are you really so stupid or did you think
that we were so stupid?"
The latter makes no answer. But few
steps further on he strips the white nag
from his lance and throws it in the muck.
Then that was the colonels idea. And he
will stick to it. At his command they are to
hide like towards behind the victims who
are to be pushed-as living wall--up to
the enemy's trenches
"They are, of course, only Jews" he says
to himself. "But yet-but yeti
Why does he feel that way about it!
Suddenly he realizes.
Like a picture it stands before him.

frozen Jews are huddled together-women.

sentinel to guard them. He, too, one Of
the guards.
Like shadows they crouch about the fire,
rub the freezing hands Of the children
between their own, weep, groan, pray
softly. One has prayer boxes bound on his
brow and on his arm and mods and bows
increasingly, so that his shadow dances like
curious grotesque against the light Of the
fire. The Cossacks laugh. He, too, has
laughed, carelessly, unconcerned.
Laughed until he has suddenly noticed
the woman at the side of the bearded Jew
with the slumbering child at her breast.
Something in that sight appealed to him
strangely. But then they had summoned
him before the sotnik. And he had thought
of it no more.
How sharply that whole picture stands
before him now-and among the other de-
tails especially these three: The man in
prayer, the shivering mother bent toward
the fire, her head cloth like veil drawn
deep over the unconscious, slumbering
child.

and crosses himself.

hands together with satisfaction. And

we shall rush in on the enemy. We shall

submissveness and admiration.

As an example Of what tactfu handling
cf a difficult situation will accomplish
there is perhaps no better illustration than
the manner in which the officer command
ing "London's Own" treated an enforced
confinement to barracks which the 142d,
in company with all other overseas units
now training in London, was compelled TO
undergo a few weeks ago as q result OF
disturbance downtown.
Instead Of allowing the men to congre-
gate after drill hours and brood on the
hardship Of having TO remain in barracks
for day or two, Lieut. Col. Graham ar
ranged for two concerts to be given in the
mems mess. Each proved success, and
at the conclusion Of the second evenings
entertainment, as the men filed out, they
thorused: "If this is c. B. give US some
more Of it,"
With the coming Of spring a more elsb-
crate programme of training also comes.
At present "London's Own" Is
aroused from its slumber at 80 a. m.
Soon it will be at $50 a. m. At z o'clock
comes the physical drill parade. This is an
important feature of the training, as the
present war has demonstrated that with
out physical fitness all else is practically
useless. The constant pounding Of the big
guns and the long hours Of suspense in the
trenches are nerve shattering.
