THE RUSH.

Consider the Squad as one unit of a company on the skirmish line. de- ployed for the Fire Attack. If it is impracticable for the company to ad- vance as a whole against the enemy's lines. it may advance in rushes. This is done either by Platoons or by Squad.
 The new line to be occupied is in- dicated by the Platoon Leader or the Captain or the Company. who gives the command "By Squad, from the Right tor left) RUEH!" This means that the Squad on the extreme Right of the Company is to move, or rush. to the new line first.
 The men of the Squad. who may be lying hat on the ground, or in a kneeling position, gather themselves in readiness to spring forward. The Corporal at the word "Rush" cries "FOllow Me" and, running at top speed, and bent over to offer as small a target as possible to the enemy, leads the Squad to the line. Here the men drop to the prone position at the CorpOrals command or the signal for "Halt,'' made by thrusting the arm up vertically from the shoulder, and at his command reopen fire. Unless tho platoon or company commander has designated the distance to be. covered in the rush, the corporal of the Squad selects the new line.
 After the first Squad has taken up the new line, the other Squads follow in succession, each starting the Rush when its immediate predecessor has gained the new line. The variouus positions that the soldier takes in the skirmish line for firing, such as lying prone or kneeling, will be explained in another article. It should also be stated that knowledge of the rifle must be assumed in this and later of Extended Order work, since the Manual of Arms, loading and firings cannot be adequately put down on paper for young recruits. More so than any other part of the Drill Regulations, this must be taught by concrete example. In other words, the new soldier can familiarize him.

THE FOURFLUsHER.

Among the Cavalry horses there had been generated spirit Of unrest. They had growp tired of routine. Day after day. life Ito them was all the same. From "Boots and Saddles in the morning to Taps" at night was an old. old story.
 At last big stallion, ridden by a sergeant, decided to mutiny. At night. when the stars came up and the cavalrymen were all at rest in their tents, he confided his intentions to his companions of the flesh. No human heard him neigh but the sentry: and he did not understand the language of the Morgans.--that was the name of the breed.
 The message was taken up all along the line. The horses and mares, tied to long community rope, twisted their halters so as to hear the con- versation. After some reluctance on the part of . few, it was agreed upon to formulate plan of action. A com
 
 campaign.
 None of the cavalry horses slept that night. They stood up, or lay awake awaiting the report Mean while the sentry paced his beat.
 Just before the morning sun stuck it's red nose over the distant hills and chased the dewdrops from the grass. the report was filed.
 The plan, as outlined, suggested that the big stallion lead the rebellion. He was to start on, a rampage while the troopers led the horses to water. All the mounts agreed to this except the Atallion, so 1t was practically unanimous.
 The morning bugle was blown. The sergeant came and united the stallion. And that night the horses were all bake in their places again, the same is usual. Trust not too much in leaders.
