Gated upon the use of the rifle, for ne
can carry through the squad or com
pany movements with broomstick.
For various reasons, depending upon
the immediate situation, 1t may be nee
essary for the squad to increase or de
minish the interval at which the men
are deployed. For instance. the space
to be covered may be wider or mar
rover than the ten PAGES which the
normal interval would give for the
squad front, or, 'he fire Of the enemy
may at this point be so hot that, In
order to advance against 1t, the
chances Of casualties must be reduced
by widening the space between tho
men.
If the latter be the case, or II, as
previously stated, II is desirable to
cover q wider front, instead OF the
command, "As skirmlshers, MARCHV
(when the men deploy ct half-pace in
teryals), the command may be, AS
skirmishers, at two PAGES, MARCH!"
This would mean that, instead of the
half-pace, or Is inches, twice the full
pace, or 60 inches, would intervene be-
tween each two men. This would ex-
tend the squad front over distance OF
approximately 20 PAGES, or 80 feet, and
thus increasing the front Of, or the te?.
ritory covered by, the squad, reduce
materially the chance of each man be-
ing hit.
1t is essential for the new soldier to
pay the closest heed to extended-order
drill, for 1t symbolizes real fighting
He must be so grounded in the details
of 1t that he will execute them auto
matically when in action, for, once un-
der fire, he will have plenty of things
to think about besides how he is to
reach the designated point at the des-
ignated time. The use of his rifle will
require his full and active attention.

CHAPTER xl--Continued.


It had been day Of nngging distrac-
tions. A rumor had been sent afoot-
by Stanton, as Smith made no doubt
limiting that the new dam would be un-
safe when 1t should be completed; that
It's breaking, with the reservoir behind
II, would carry death and destruction
TO the lowlands and even to the city.
Timid stockholders, seeing colossal
damage suits In the bare possibility,
had taken the alarm, and Smith had
spent the greater part of the day In
trying to calm their fears. For this
cause, and some others. he was on the
ragged edge when Baldwin dropped In
on his way home from the dam and
protested.
Look here, John; you're OVERRIDING
this thing world without end You
break II of short, right now, and go
home with me and get your dinner and
n good nights rest. Get your coat and
hat and come along. or I'll rope you
down and hog-tie you"
For oace In a way, Smith found that
there was no fight left in him, and he
yielded, telling himself that another
acceptance Of the Baldwin hospitality,

But no sooner was the colonel's gray
roadster headed for the bridge across
the Timanyoni than the exhilarating
reaction set In. In twinkling the

After dinner, meal at which he ate
little and was well content to satisfy
the hunger of his soul by the road of
the eye, Smith went out to the portico
TO smoke. The most gorgeous of noun
tain sunsets was painting itself upon
the sky over the western Timanyonis,
but he had no eyes for natural
grandeurs, and no ears for any sound
save one-the footstep he was listen

tried to look as tired rs he had been

his desk and leave the office; tried and
apparently succeeded.

OF d, l.. Easterly. has procured jobs

hind the government employment
bureaus at st. Louis and San Fran
cisco where a superintendent and half
u. dozen assistants are in charge of

himself, with only one assistant He
has saved the jobless fully $4,000,

alto employment bureaus in commits
sions, had they been forced to seek
work thru these bureaus.
The Cosden refinery maintains an
employment bureau of it's own, with
n superintendent and two assistants,
each of whom Is paid $125 a month.
Notwithstanding this Mr.. Easterly is
continually furnishing labor to Cos
den as well as TO other big Industrial
plants in Tulsa
Because of the great amount Of
work his office has done, friends of
the bureau will make an effort to
persuade the next legislature to in
crease the allowance for expense of
