The Road That Leads North

A. Secretary, somewhere in France.
This Journey marked the realization
of their hopes to get to the firing line.
They appeared confident. ready,
eager, vet withal there was a certain
ineradicable solemnity-
The trucks numbered slowly anu
steadily along. After a while they
halted for rapid inspection OF, parts.
1t was a relief to get out and stretch
one's legs. The men strolled about,
getting a drink of water and absorb
ing the warmth of the sunlight
which came through the clouds Tor
the first time in a week
The sharp order to remount rang
lout. The men obeyed with alacrity.
1t was good to have stern ofhcers on
an important journey like TINS ana
when the body yearned for action.
The line of trucks started again me
last stage of the Journey had begun.
Two hours would carry these men 10
their defamation. During that truck
ride the fighting spirit of the ~
Regiment was increased 100 per cent.
! When once the shells began to ny. &C
f., ton would take the place of thought.
! That action, however, would instinct
lively follow the law of habit and
obey the germ of will power charged
by conscious thought before the
battle.
This regiment was positively
charged. 1t spanked from the top
sergeants finger tips; it flowed
around each man with a warm Jingle
Of reinsurance. Suddenly the guns
near at hand spoke and deadly thun-
der vibrated the very benches in the
trucks on which the arriving sol
diers sat. It was the breaking OF
the vacuum tube: the generated
, charge began to flow.
The men piled down from the
trucks with smiles on their faces,
kiokine continuously as they olsen
! tangled each others equipment: Con-
/ fidence shone from their faces; as
, sr+ance from their bearing: Their
; captain dismissed them to their posts
Half the battle was already won.
