"When we arrived nt the Run pits the buttery cninnmwler. Hie Borxennt iimjor and CtiR'ioll were UnltlnB for us. Wo fell In line and the tuncrnl nmrch to hrlKnde headquarter started. '. "Arriving at headquarters the bat tery commander win the first to be Interviewed. ThlbA'M behind closed doors. From tho ronrlni! and exp1o 'slons of Old I'epnrr It sounded as if . rnw meat was being thrown: to the Hons. CnsRell, Inter, described It s soundlnfr liko a bombing raid. In about two minutes; the officer reappeared. The sweat was pouring from his forfr. licnd, and his fnce wan the color of a beet. . Ho was - enarchh.'i&i As he pusscd the cnpialn he jerked his thumb - in the direction, cf the lion's den anil went out. Then the captain went In. : nnd the Hons were once again fed. The captain stayed uliout twenty mln utes und cnino out. I couldn't see his face, but the droop In Ills shoulders was enough. lie looked like a wot hen. "The door o( the genernl' room . opened and Old Pepper Ntood In the doorway. With a roar ho shouted: "'Whlrti one. of ..you. .lei ,CnsseU3 . D n me, get your heels together when I speak t Come In here !' "CaRseli started to sny, 'Yes sir. "Hilt Old Pepper roured, 'Shut up!' "Cussell eimie out In live minutes. He said nothing, but as ho passed me lie put his tonguo into Ills check mill winked, then, turning to the closed door, he stuck his thumb to his nose nnd left. "Then the sergeant major's turn came.: He .didn't come out our way. Judging by the roaring,. Old Pepper imiRt hnve eaten him. , "When the door opened and the gen eral beckoned to me, my knees started to play 'Home, Sweet Home' agulnst each other. "My Interview whs very short. '.'Old Pepper glared nt me when I entered, and then let loose. " 'Of course you don't know anything uliout It. You're .tust llko the rest. Ought to huvc n nursing bottle around your neck nnd n nipple In your teeth. Soldiers by gud, you turn my stom ach to- look at you. Win this war, when England semis out such snmplt'K 1 ns I have In ttiy brlgiidcl Not likely t Now, sir, Itell me what yon don't know about tills iiffnlr. Spenk up.out with H. Don't be gaping nt me llko a llsh. Spit It out.' '' "I stammered, 'Sir, I know absolute ly nothing.'; "'That's easy to see,' ho roared; 'that si upld fnce tells me that. Shut up.-. Get out; hut I think you arc a d d liar Just the same. Buck to your buttery.' "I suliited and mndc hiy exit. "That night the cnptnln sent for 9. With fear and trembling we went to his dugout. He was alone. After sa luting we stood nt attention In front of him and waited. Ul say was short, i "'Don't you two ever get 11 Into your I heuds that Morse Is a dead language. I've known It for years. The two of yon hud better get rid of Hint nervous tiiiblt of tipping triinmulttcrs; It's dun- ; gerous. Tlmt's nil.' '. i "We sultited, und were just going out ' tne door of the dugout when the cap- ! tain called up Imrk and sulci: I "Smoke Goldllnkes? Yes? Well. there are two tins of litem on my ilife. I Uo buck to the Imttt-ry, ami keep your tongues between your teeth. L'nder etuiitlT "We understood. "For five weeks afterwards our but tery did nothing hut extra fatigues. We were satlslled and so were, the men. It was worth It to put one over on Old Pepper, to say nothing of the Injury caused to Krll' feelings." When Wilson hud finished Ills story I looked up nml the dugout was Jammed. An artillery enptuia and two officers had also entered' and stayed for the tnlsh. Wilson spat out nn enormous quid of tobacco, looked up, miw tile captain, and got ns red ns u carnation. The captain smiled and left. Wilson whispered to me: "Illltue me, Ynnk, I sec where I click for ernclflilon. Thar eaptnln Is the same ne that chucked us Ooldflakes In his dugout and here I have been chucking me weight about In his hearing.' " " Wllwm never clicked his rruclllxlnn.

In his spare moments you could nlways see him' cleaning It or polish ing the vtock. Woe hillde the im'iti who by mistake, happened to E'M hold of this rlllc; he soon found out his error. Scott wiis as deaf as u mule, and It wiiB amusing ut pai-ndo to water, him In the ninmtal of urms, slyly glancing out of the corner of ids eye nt the 1111111 nc?U to him 1o see what the order was. llow he passed the doctor vim u mystery to us ; he nuiit have blulTeil his way through, because he certainly was Itul -pendent. Beside III Ul the Foiirlb of July looked like Good Friday. Uo wore at the time ri. large sombrero, hail 11 Mexican stock saddle over his tdnmldcr, a lariat 011 his nriii, and 11 "fort.v-lhv" liniiglng from his hip. Dumping this pnraplier nalin on the floor he went up to the recruiting officer nnd shouted: "I'm from 'America, west of the Rockies,' nnd want to join your il d army. I've got no use for a (lei-man and can shoot some. .At Scotland Yard (bey turned me down; said I was deaf and so 1 am. I don't hunker to ship In with a d d iiiud-crunelilug outfit, but the cavulry's full, so I guess this regi ment's better than none, so trot out your papers and I'll sign 'em." He told them he was forty nod slipped by. 1 wus on recruiting servlco at the time he applied for enlistment. It was Old ftootty's great ambition to be a sniper or "body sitatcher," as Mr. Atkhis. calls It. The day that lie was detailed as brigade sniper be cele brated his appointment b. blowing the whole platoon to fags. Being a Ynnk. Old Scottv took n lik ing to tne und used In spin some great yarns about the plains-, and the whole pluHHin would drink these In and ask for liioro. Ananliis was a rookie com pared with liliu. he evpliilnsinutt and discipline could Jot agree,- lint the officers all liked lilin. cyn If he was hard to uain nge, so when he was detailed us a sniper a sigh of relief went up from tho unicorn' loess. . .
