would be formed in London ere been

received With Borne surprise. __A brief
conference was held, during which
there was much vigorous eliaking Def
heads. While I awaited the decision
I thought of the steamship ticket in
my pocket. I remembered thatt

of my plans for the future and
anticipated the joy of an early home -

the recruiting officer returned to his
desk, smiling broadly.
"We'll take yon, my lad, if you want
to join, You'll' just say you are an
Englishman, won't you, as a matter
of formality?" Here was an avenue
of escape, beckoning me like an allure
ring country road winding over the
hills of home. I refused it with the
same instinctive swiftness of decision
that had brought me -to the medical
inspection room: And` a few moments
later, T`took "the King's shilling," and
promised, upon my Bath as a loyal
British subject, to bear true allegiance
to the Union Jack.
During the completion of other, less
important formalities, I was taken in
charge by a sergeant who might have
stepped out of any of the "Barrack -
Room Ballads." He was true to type
to the last twist in the s of Atkins.
He told me of service in India, Egypt,
South Africa. 7:Ie showed .me. both

"Kitchcner's Mob." '
It is not a pleasing name foe, the
greatest volunteer army in the history
of the world; formore than three mil-
lions of toughened, disciplined fighting
men, umeed under one flag, all i Ss
of one magnificept military organiza-
tion, And yet Kitchener's' own Tonz-
mies are responsible for it, the ranlc

ridicule even at theix own expense,
and their intense dislike of "swank."
They fastened the name upon them-
selves, lest ,the world"at large should
._think • they regarded themaelves too
highly.: There it hangs. There it will
hang fu' all time.-

garding the proven :fatality of third

dangerously near to the head of the

"Now, then, you! Step along!"
There is something- compelling
about a military command, givenTby a
military officer accustoined to being
obeyed. While the doctors were
thumping me, measuring me, and mak-
leg an inventory of "physical pecul-
iarities, if any,rl I tried tie analyze my
unhesitating, almost instinctive reac-
tion to 'that stern, confident "Step

ability to say no? Or. was .it the
blood of military .forebears asserting
itself after.many years of inanition?
The latter conclusion _being. the more
pleasing, `I ' decided '-that I was the
grandson .of my Civil War grandfath-
er; and the worthy descendant of stal-
wart warriors. of a yet earlier period.

I said it.
"Now s'y, `Ger hlimy, 'Jerry, 'ow's

I did.
"That's eight! Oh, you'll soon get
the swing of it." -
There was much more instruction of
the same nature:' By the time I was
ready to leave the recruiting offices I
felt that I had made great progress in
the vernacular. I said good-bye to the
sergeant warmlyy. As I was about to
leave be made the peculiar and amus-
ing gesture of a man•drinking.
"A pint o' mild an' bitter;" he said
confidentially. "The boyo always
gives me the price of a pint."
"Right you are, sergeant!" I used
the expression like a,born Englishman.
And with the liberality of a true sol-
dier, I gave him my shilling, my first
day's wage as a British fighting man.
The remainder of the week 1� spent
mingling with the crowds of enlisted
men at the Horse Guards Parade,
watching the bulletin boards for the
appearance of my name which would
mean that I was to report at the regi-
mental depot at Hounslow. My first
impressionu• of the men with whom I
was to live for three years, or the
duration of the war, was anything but
favorable. The newspapers bad been
asserting that the new army was be-
ing recruited fronyth& flower of Eng-
land's young manhood. The throng
at the Horse Guards Parade resembl-
ed an army of the unemployed, and I
thought it likely that most of them
were misfits, out -of -works; the kind
of Alen who poin the army because
they can do nothing else. There were,
in fact, a good many of these. I soon
learned, however, that the general
out -at -elbows appeararee was due to
another cause, A genial Cockney
