SEND-OFF TO DRAFTEES

The second contingent Of Philadelphia
drafted men left for Camp Meade, Admiral,
Md, today. One hundred and sixty-fve
men from the Twelfth Registration Dis
trict, with headquarters at Fourth and York
streets, entrained at North Philadelphia
amid cheers ard tears of wives, sweethearts,
families and friends.
Earlv this morning the men of the Twelfth
District assembled at the board headquar-
ters. From there they marched to the sta
tion. The parade was led by Lieutenant
Keith. with a squad of policemen from the
station at Fourth and York streets. A band
had been obtained for the occasion. They
were escorted by Birney Post, No SO, and
Schuyler Post, No. 81, Of the G. A. R.
Most OF the men were accompanied by
members of their families, by sweethearts
and by friends As the parade marched on
the ranks were swollen by men and women
falling in to give the future soldiers a
hearty send-off By the time the parade
reached the station it is estimated that
nearly 1000 persons were marching in line.

with millions Of dollars worth Of prop.
erty Of various kinds to protect here. Major
Robert B. Brown, the new commander of
the military police. has turned his atten-
tion to the creation Of a system Of fire pro-
lection. Hundreds of frame buildings,
which are being utilized for various pur-
poses, lie scattered out about the big reser-
walton and the area that contains them
embraces something like ten or more square
miles.
Insurance may take care, of the none
tary loss that would accompany a fire Of
big proportions, but il could not make up
for the very serious handcaps that would
ensue were numbers of the buildings and
some in particular. destroyed. 1t is a
part Of the duty of the military police
organization to provide protection against
fire, and although the job is a big one,
Major Brown and his officers have set
themselves to the task with fair prospect
of accomplishing their purpose
As yet there has been established no
adequate system of signaling, but before
long a plan will be evolved whereby warm
ings of fires in the Businesses of the Ala
bama hills can be quickly and easily
sounded by the range riders.
Troops OF the other States contributing
to the Twenty Division are openly
envious of the New Jersey boys who are to
vote here. Under the provisions Of an old
State law, adopted during the Civil War,
the troops of the Garden State no matter
where they may be at the time of the State
elections, may vote.
To a man from the District of Columbia
has been intrusted the work Of organizing
a dental corps for the Twenty-ninth Div-
sion. He is Lieutenant Minot e Scott,
Il. S. A., who is here to form the large
number of dental officers who have come
here with the various State units into a real
organization. He will start work mme-
diately.
Lieutenant Colonel W. w. Crosby, who
is to be the lieutenant colonel OF the new
regiment Of engineers which is being formed
with the New Jersey battalion as nucleus,
is here and has jumped into the job before
him. II is very likely that he and General
Barber, of New Jersey, will work together
to certain extent, because General Barber
has been asked to designate six companies
of the New Jersey Infantry organizations
for transfer to the engineers. and It is likely
that he will confer with Colonel Crosby
before submitting his recommendations.
Colonel Crosby is from Maryland

KINGDOM GOULD HELPS

BIZ O stoG Correspondent

CAMP DIX, wrlghtstown N. J., Sept 20.
The first duty assigned the 1000 new
rockies who arrived here yesterday was to
police the grounds and streets around their
barracks. Very inglorious work, to be
sure, but the new rockies went at the job
like a flock of seventeen-year locusts, and
in a short time the grounds were as clean
as a hounds tooth. Following the police
duty, many of the men were taken cut and
initiated into the simplest military founda-
ton under the tutelage Of the rockies OF
two weeks ago who are now classed as
soldiers.
good deal of time is being taken up
by physical examinations, for the examina-
ton is very thorough, and in spite OF the
number of men waiting in line, the doctors
do not rush, but give each man as thorough
an examination as IL he were the only APP

KINGDOM GOULD IN GOLF SUIT
The most conspicuous arrival in Camp
Dix is Kingdom Gould, who arrived yester-
day evening with sixty seven selected men
from Ocean County. He wore a golf suit
but that was all that distinguished him from
the others of the rockies. In fact, his APP
pearance and quiet manner came rather
as a jolt to the mastering officer After
registering George Wakefield, a carpenter,
they enrolled next Kingdom Gould, mining
engineer.
But in Camp Dix there is no social con-
trast-every man is treated the same
his neighbor. Gould's entrance into camp
made a very favorable impression on the
officers in Company d. of the 311th In
fantry. But most important is the impress

CHAPTER XIX.
A Try-out.


Sleepy Cat is not so large a place
that one would ordinarily have much
trouble in finding a man in it if he
searched well. But Duke Morgan
drove into town next morning and had
to stay for three days waiting for a
chance to meet De Spain. Duke was
not man to talk much when he had
anything of moment to put through,
and he had left home determined, be-
fore he came back, to finish for good
with his enemy.
De Spain himself had been putting
of for weeks every business that would
bear putting off, and had been forced
at length to run down to Medicine
Bend to buy horses. Nan, after her
uncle left home-justly apprehensive
of his intentions-made frantic efforts
TO get word to De Spain of what was
impending. She could not telegraph
publicity that she dreaded would
have followed at once. De Spain had
expected to be back in two days. Such
a letter as she could have sent would
not reach him at Medicine Bend.
AS 1t was, distressing amount of
talk did attend Dukes efforts to get
track of De Spain. Sleepy Cat had
but one Interpretation for his inQui-
ries-and a fight, if one occurred be-
tween these men, it was conceded,
would be historic In the annals of the
town. Its anticipation was food for
all of the rumOrs of three DAVIS of Sis
pense. For the town they were three
days of thrilling expectation for Nan,
Isolated, without confidant not
knowing what to do or which way to
turn, they were the three bitterest
days of anxiety she had ever known
Desperate with suspense at the close
or the second day-wild for q scrap OF
news, yet dreading one-she saddled
her pony and rode alone into Sleepy
Cat after nightfall to meet the train
on which De Spain had told her he
would return from the east. She rode
straight to the hospital, instead OF
going to the livery barn, and leaving
her horse, got supper and walked by
way of unfrequented streets downtown
to the station to wait for the train.
: When the big train drew slowly, al
most noiselessly, In, Nan took her
place where no incoming passenger
could escape her gaze and waited for
DE Spain. But when all the arrivals
had been accounted for, he had not
come. -.
