up at McDougal.

Lieber, with Gerry and Kemp, sat In
the shade of the veranda, smoking after
the midday meal. The stock had been
corralled, but, on Kemp's advice, the
start for Fazenda Flores was to be
made halfway through the afternoon
There was to be a great moon that
night and the drive would be robbed OF
the perils of darkness to cattle as well
as Of the horrible heat.

lent when a passing herder grunted
and pointed westward with his chin.
Lieber stood up and looked. A pillar
OF dust was coming across the desert.
He could see men riding and some
thing else. He took his field glasses
from a peg and looked again. "Fu-
neral, or a sick man." he said and sat
down to wait. Kemp started whiting
to keep himself awake. Since the hour
Of Lieber's confession he had hardly
spoken.
When the cavalcade came within
easy view Gerry stood up and watched.
He could not hide his curiosity like
Lieber and Kemp. In front OF the
horses came four men bearing q sag
ging hammock on a pole. They were
running in quick, springy steps that
made the hammock sway gently from
side to side. The pace they kept up
under the burden was marvellous.
They were followed closely by eight
horsemen. At the first signs of falter-
ing among the bearers, four Of the
riders would throw themselves OF
their ponies and run under the pole.
The change of relay was made without
a stop, without pause. The freed
ponies stood with hanging heads and
straddled legs. Even from a distance
one could see that the burdened men
had run the wiry little beasts or their
feet. They were all in, but the men
were still erect-keen. With a final
squirt the cortege drew up before the
veranda. Lieber stood up. Dead or
dyingw he asked
Master, we do not know" an
swered the oldest OF the men. their
leader.
Fever or smallpoxr' asked Lieber.

With q look Of relief Lieber went
down the steps to the hammock. A sheet
had been thrown over the pole to keep
OF the worst OF the sun. He pulled
1t OF. A CHASTITY sight met his eyes,

"Cover him mp, for Gods sake" said
Gerry.
Lieber dropped the sheet and went
or to the kitchen. Gerry and Kemp
covered the stripped body and tucked
many blankets over II. Lieber came
back and took on half the blankets.

planned. III he's going to sweat. he'll

~. A great desire to protect what

He mixed the solution in the syringe
and then, grasping Alan's arm, he
pressed 1t until the veins came out In

clutched the arm. The bones seemed
to bend to the grip. Lieber chose q

to Gerry, that's what's known as an

He went into the house and brought
out clean sheets. soft wooden blankets,

never seen such linen; Gerry had al
most forgotten the feel Of 1t. Gerry
came to life. With one hand under

ORDERS ARE NOW
TO THE COL0Rs'
ALL MEMBERS. OF THE RIFLE
MEN AND EAND CALLED TO
CAMP HARRIS.
ITO the Cclors.


The shibboleth these days with the
members 10 the Georgia state troops,
is to hurry back TO Camp Harris
Some two weeks ago orders came for
the removal of the artillery division
at Camp Harris to the Texas border
and this splendid branch of Georgia s
militia is now doing service on the
border. It was predicted at the time
that the ether units at the camp in
Macon would be called for similar ser
vice shortly and these orders have
finally been issued.
Among other organizations called to
the border is the First Georgia regi-
ment of which the Brunswick Rifle
men is a part, being known as COM
pany. G. In addition there is anoth-
er LEGAL interest because of the fact
that the First Regiment band has it's
headquarters in this city and is com
posed largely OF Brunswick musici-
ans.
But to the story.
When orders were issued to the
First Regiment to entrain for Ell Paso
many of it's officers and men were
scattered about on Burroughs. In
Brunswick there was Capt. Butts, of
company G, some six or seven of his
men Principal Musician G. c. Fennell
and other subordinates in his organ
ization All of these have been call
ed back to Macon and most of them
left last night TO join their commands.
1t is believed that the First Regi-
ment will move to FL Paso within the
next few DAYS. In fact, it was stated
in Brunswick yesterday that General
Harris, commander of Camp Harris
had not only received orders for part
of his command to move but that the
full railroad schedule and itinerary
had been FUN shed the members of
his staff That -thes--entire Georgia
brigade will soon entrain for FL Paso
there seems to be no doubt and that
Brunswick has deep interest is at
tested by the fact that perhaps a
hundred and twenty-five of her sons
are represented in company G and
the First Regiment band.
