 Washington, Nov. 16.-John @ Citizen may be assigned to the cav airy by the officers if they find he understands horses or is familiar with motor lorries or other gasoline driven vehicles.
 He will have a great surprise when he learns that the Ameri- can cavalry is 40 per cent mo- tOrized and stiIl SO per cent horse-mOunted. American army officers still hold that for broken ground, away from roads, for charges on a disOrganized enemy, for certain kinds of scout ing duties and for rear guard acc tiOns, horses are superior to motor vehicles.
 John will also learn that the sword and the lance have been dropped. The American cavalry man is 8 mounted rifeman. He is taught the first clements of drill exactly like the infantryman.
 Then he learns the care of cav- airy horses and mounted drill. He learns to fight either mounted or dismounted. His shooting practice is considerably different from that of the infantryman. He shoots at targets made like the silhouette of man kneeling on the ground or crouching. These targets are par italy concealed in the grass or bushes.
 The new cavalry has machine gun troops armed with 12 of the 30 caliber machine guns. Men attached to such troop have gun drill and field fire. There are scout troops each with five armored cars, each car carrying one of the 50 caliber machine guns and two of 30 caliber.

"The path of the righteous is as

way of the wicked is as darkness:
they know not at what they stumble"
Isn't that a vivid figure of speech?
When we walk in the light of day
or brilliantly lighted paths at night,
we sec where we are going and do
not stumble. But if we walk in dark

while Tommy's razor blades were
now so blunt that it was impossl-
BILE to shave without hot water and

men arrived, and began to build a
new section fence which, extending
from one existing fence to the
other, cut the lawn off from the
bungalow.
"Now, what's the idea of that ?"
Tommy asked.
Gun shook his head.
1.-THE only thing I can think OF IS
that they don't want to reduce us
in health too much-otherWlse
they'd have to nurse us before we
could be of any use to them. so
they're going to allow us the re-
stricted exercise of the rest OF the
garden without the lawn" ,
When they rose next morning II
looked as though this theory was
correct, for the doors of the bung-
allow were unlocked, and the
guards had been taken away, and
were beyond the outer fence, as
usual. .
But the queer part of it was that
in the new fence the gate STOOD
open also, so they could wander
about, or lie on the lawn as usual
When Trent made his morning
visit he seemed fairly amused
about something, and Cur felt that
he had something up his sleeve
especially as no deprivation had
been made that day.
In the evening they were loung-
ing on the lawn, when a sudden
sound made Gun look quickly
around. The gate had just been
closed on them, and guard was
securing a paddock on it!

The Book of Proven, s generally
assigned 10 Solomon, who fiourished
about the year 1000 B. c. No geo.
graphical place is mentioned in the
chapter.
In the first of this fourth proverb
the writer pictures a happy home,
with mother and father tenderly
watching the growth and develop
ment OF their only (maybc their firsD
child. For l was my fathers son,
tender and only beloved in the sight
Of my mother" he says.
1t is wonderful thing to be born
into family that loves one tenderly
from the start. And even more SO
to be a member Of family in which
both parents are honorable, upright
people, who are good neighbors and
good citizens, as well as good, kind
and loving parents. Such parents set
| a standard for their children may do
wrong for a time, they will seldom,
if ever, sink so low that they cannot
right themselves.
This father taught me Also" says
the writer, land said unto me, Let
thine heart retain my words; keep
my CON- amendments and live"
Get WISDOM" the proverb states,
get understanding" And again:
wisdom is the principal thing;
therefore get wisdom: and with all
thy getting, get understanding"
When you study in school, you are
trying to get wisdom out of your
books and the teaching Of your in
structor. But if you do not under
stand the problem in arithmetic or
the thing you are reading, you will
not gain much, will you? "A good
teacher is always glad to answer
questions and explain the lessons,
and if you understand, you will gain
the sort of wisdom for which you
were sent to school.
But there is another kind OF wis
dom which is more important Tor
the children to learn than what we
call book learning. 1t is the wisdom
that recognizes the right and good
way to live. That kind of wisdom
often is possessed by men and Wo-
men who have very little education
from schools.
Of wisdom the writer says:
"EXalt her, and she shall promote
thee: she shall bring thee to honor,
when thou dost embrace her.
"She shall give to thine head an
ornament of grace: crown OF glory
shall she deliver to thee"
Then this wise father says to his
son:
81 have taught thee in the way Of
wisdom; l have led thee in right
paths. =,
when thou goest thy steps shall
not be straitened; and when thou
FUNNIEST, thou shalt not stumble"
This means that the person who
walks in the way Of uprightness and
wisdom may walk freely and proud
ly. He need not be timid and afraid.
His conscience is clear.
Enter not into the path OF the
wicked, and go not in the way OF
evil men.

plan of yours into action, Gun?
I mean this is getting a bit too
thicki"
VERY soon, now" Gun comfort
ed him. "But it won't do to be too
precipitate. They mustn't suspect
anything"
The sun disappeared, and dark
ness came, and with it the cold.
The two men, devoid of any shelter
or extra covering, shivered, and
tried to keep themselves warm by
trotting around their pen. But they
were getting so weak from lack
Of proper food that they couldn't
keep it up long enough to really
warm themselves.
"One comfort" remarked Gun,
as they sat down, painting, there
ought to be dew in the morning,
and We'll be able to get some sort
of.an imitation wash from it."
Trent did not make his appear
ance at the usual time, but lights
suddenly sprang up in the bunga-
low. Theyfsaw Sambo, aided by an
other man, laying a table for
three. From the kitchen came
sounds, and worse still, succulent'
enticing, torturing smells were
waited to them on the nlght
breeze.
Presently Trent and TWO other
men made their appearance. one
of them was an American who had
formed part of the crew OF the
black plane, the other was a
stranger, square-headed like a Ger
man.
Within the lighted room every
thing could be seen through tne
uncurtained window, and although
Gun and Hazeldeane strove desper-
atelv not to look, the fascination
was too great! They saw the three
making merry over steamihs
dishes; saw the cool, bubbling
champagne poured out into cut
glass goblets: watched with hun
gry. distended eyes the mon loung-
ing comfortably back in their
chairs, replete with food, while the
blue cigar smoke curled up IN
spirals toward the ceiling.
Gun rasped, with dry throat:
"Pn say one thing for the fellow
he's certainly ingenious"
THE swine's lived too late
crowled Tommy. He would nave
made a fortune in the days of the
Spanish Inquisition."
Suddenly Trent's voice came 10
them:
Il hope you fellows enjoyed the
show!"
He was standing by the open
window, putting cigar smoke into
the night air. II reached the two
! starved, sl.::rcring prisoners-a fra
grant, tantalizing message. Ihey

with Julie, the beauteous tray doll

hard with the company and be promoted -
soda chief supervisor, and so on - until he
was one of the 99's himself Somewhere along
that road he'd ask Julie to marry him. Now
the fear that it wouldn't turn out that way
stayed with him almost every waking hour,
accompanied by all the stories he d ever heard
about the man whose best friend took away
his girl
SO there they were now. Ray was cutting
the sandwich for big boss McCutcheon in
way sure to put him neatly out of Mack's
way. Mack was meeting jules eyes, realizing
that she knew he'd betrayed his friend and
knew why he'd done it. The big boss was
sitting there with his nose in the newspaper.
Two vice presidents had hustled in and taken
seats at the counter right in front of Ray.
To Mack it seemed as if all time hung sus-
pended while he watched Julie stand there
opening her lips and pressing them together
again She had to make her choice in the next
few seconds She had to choose between Mack
and Ray If she kept still, she was letting Ray
take the disaster that was ready for him. If
she spoke up to warn him. the vice presidents
couldn't help hearing. Then there'd be ques-
tons, and Mack would be on the carpet, his
own job competently ruined, his future
neatly demolished
Mack watched her, saw her face waver and
then harden She formed her mouth for speech.
He dropped his eyes to his own board, chopped
sandwich automatically in two. and heard
what she said to Ray over the shoulders OF the
two vice e-presidents Hey, Roman she
