Rookie, Be Good To
the Mess Sergeant
He Runs ShebanQ

He is the chief cook. He buys
every bite you eat. He writes the
bill Of fare and dictates how you
shall be fed.
He sees that your vegetables
are properly cleaned before they're
cooked. He fights your battles
with the butcher, to see that you
get good meat. He haggles with
the hucksters, to see that you get
good green stuff.
He gives the first and second
cook, the dining room orderly and
the three cooks police their orders.
He runs the whole shebang for you
and 80 other rockies like you. He
works hard for you, all day long
and sometimes far into the night.
And so, IL he checks up the
plates and spoons and things and
finds you've lost a couple, and
charges you for them out of your
pay. don't grumble. he has to do
that.
Don't Get Gay
Above all, don't get gay with
him on any account. He is respon-
sible for your orderly conduct in
the mess hall. He's there to see
that you arrive in the proper quiet
and orderly manner, with your uni
form neat and clean. He looks
you over, and IL your hands are
soiled or your face unclean, or
your hair not properly brushed, he
sends you kiting back to fix your
self up, just like mother used to
do.
He sees that you sit properly at
the table, quiet and orderly, until
your food is passed to you. He
won't stand for any restaurant
rough stuff, II you are in the habit
of pulling any. Loud talking and
unnecessary noises will bring him
down on you stiff-legged, kerr

He'll Hoove, Too
He'll see that you follow
Hoover's advice about not wasting
your food too. He's an apostle of
the clean plate If there ever was
one. If you take more on your
plate than you can eat, he'll nab
you. You're welcome to all you
want, but you're not welcome to
any to waste.
Food left on plates can never
be used again. IL It is left in the
serving dish, 1t can be dished up
in some other palatable form at
another meal.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Be
good to the mess sergeant.
When you get to your canton
ment camp to be made over into q
soldier, be good to him, for he
will be Lord High Commissioner
of your stomach and everything
that goes into 1t.
He will be the arbiter of your
epicurean fate, and when, on en-
tering the mess tent, you see him
standing there in all his glory and
a fresh white coat, tug the fore
lock and scrape the foot to him.
for he is more absolutely dictator
of your food than Herbert Hoover
will ever be.

CHAPTER v.

With her knees Rugged up I'M
der her chin, her face turned up
ward faithfully to the Falls, the
bride sat alone. This was 4:30 in
the afternoon, just 10 hours after
she boarded the train at Downs
Station. She had been sitting all
afternoon with her eyes resting on
the water that tumbled down
downtown
And there the groom found her
her serene expression but an
other faggot on the fire Of his
wrath. He stood apart for q little
while, cycling her grimly.
But only unalloyed pleasure
shone from Peggy, as she caught
sight of him.
ooh, you darling Ed" she
cried, running to him. you
darling, darling, darling Ed But
-oh!-didn't you go to the
Fair?"
you know I didn't go to the
Fair" he returned.
He stood straight and grim.
What did you do with the thou
sand dollars you took from me?"
"That?-oh!-Why, l stopped
at Buffalo and gave 1t to Miss
Elliot and told her to spend it for
new furnishings for the house."

Let's not talk about that, now.
Please sit down here with me and
look at the Falls. Here"-indicat-
ing the spot-"sit here, darling"
The mist swept over them, de-
liciously cool and moist. And, as 1t
brushed him by. 1t carried some
thing hot and burning and rancor-
Gus away with 1t.
She snuggled closer till the soft
cheek brushed his. "Isn't-it-
beautiful?" she breathed, in her
voice a little note that told him
she was not speaking of the Falls.
The mist swept by again, and
again it carried something away
that it had not brought with 1t.
What is beautiful - pet?" he
whispered.
Love-" came murmuringly.
And YOU and me together for al
ways. Well quarrel about the fur
niture, and lots of other things be-

you'll be stubborn. But all the

She was his, in his arms, his
own for always!
He looked into her eyes. Then
he spoke. And what he said was:
"Just the happiest that ever
was. little wife!"
That night Peggy slipped out Of
bed and took from her satchel q
flat brown book with DIARY" gold
lettered upon 1t. And while Ed
slept, Peggy soribbled down the
happenings of the past "a mo-
mentous hours. She closed the
book, then opened 1t to add:
"Oh, II was an awful, awful day.
But it's over now-and I've start

II was a quiet wedding, only the
relatives and few intimate
friends present. Ichy Sam repre-
scented the twins, coming to the
wedding in Eds automobile, Peggy
in her wedding-dress beside him;
for, of course, Peggy had had TO
show herself to Sam Ichy in her
bridal array, and be exclaimed
over by the invalid, and receive
his blessing. Then Lefty was at
the wedding-Letty, aged As, who
had lived with the Trowbridges for
rs years, and had been in sole
charge of the house since Eds par
ents died. She was unmarried and
very deaf, but with beautiful
quiet motherliness. And Lily Up
down, Peggy's most cherished
friend, shy and fragile as a lily
herself, was there. And, keeping
closely in the background, was
"Still Steve" the big Swede, who
had worked as a "hand" for "Old
John" for Is years, and who never
spoke II he could possibly avoid 1t.
Everybody was smiling and
happy, save Peggy's mother. She
was very sober, not over losing
her daughter, for Peggy would live
only eight miles away, but because
she mistrusted what might be
going on behind the entrancingly
demure face of the bride-a de-
mureness intensified by contrast
with a saucy dimple that came
and went at the left corner of the
red mouth.
'What are you saying, Ed?"
asked Peggy, seeing his lips move
and hearing no sound.
He gazed at her face In the
moonlight.

Lord for giving you to me, little
wife"
