Here is a story told many years
ago by an English traveller in Tur-
key, who translated it from the Ian
guage of that country:
In the tribe of Negedeh there was
a wonderful horse, whose beauty and
speed were unequaled; and u Bedouin
of another tribe, whose name was
Daber, longed to possess 1t. Having
in vain offered camels and all his
gold for it, he at length hit upon
the following device-he resolved to
stain his face, to clothe himself in
rags, to limp as if disabled and
thus to play the part of lame beg
gar.
In this disguise, he waited on the
road for Naber. the owner of the
horse, whom he knew was to pass
that way. When he say him ap-
preaching on his beautiful steed, he
cried out in a weak voice:
Il am a poor stranger! For three
days l have been unable to move
from this spot to look for food. Help
me. and Heaven will reward you!"
The Bedouin kindly offered to take
him upon his horse and carry him
home, but Daber replied
Alas, 1 cannot rise! l have no
strength left"
Naber, touched with pity, dis
mounted, leu MS morse 10 the spot,
and with great difficulty set the
seeming sbeggar on his back. But
no sooner did Daber feel himself in
the saddle than he galloped off, call
ing out as he rode
1T is 1, Daber!"
Naber called after him to stop
and listennCer that he could not
be caught3 Daber turned and halted
at a short distance from Naber.
You have taken my horse" said
Naber, "and, since Heaven has will
ed it, l give you joy of it; but 1 con-
jure you never to tell any one how
You obtained it,"
why not?" asked Daber.
Because" replied the noble Arab,
another man might be really ill, and
men would fear to help him. You
would be the cause of many refus-
ing to perform an act of carity for
fear of being duped as have been"
Daber was silent for a moment;
then, springjng from the horse, he
returned it to it's owner and begged
his forgiveness. Naber made him ac-
company him to his tent, where they
passed a few days together and be-
came friends for life.

is divided into close-order drill and
extended-order drill.
CLOSE order" is defined in the
regulations as the formation in
which the units, in double rank, are
arranged in line or in column with
normal intervals and distances" Ex-
tended order, on the other hand, is
the formation in which the units
are separated by intervals greater
than in colse order" These technical
definitions are clear enough to those
who are already familiar with mill
tary terms, but probably require
some explanation for most of the
men who are reading this course.
The diagrams below show at a
glance what is meant. Figure i rep
resents small body of men in
double rank arranged in close order.
Figure 1.
The space between men standing
side by side in rank is called the in
terval." In the American army the
standard interval is 4 inches, measur-
ed from the elbow of one man to the
elbow of the man next to him. This
