They have been plodding into camp in droves, from where, nobody seems to know or care. And once here, they fall into as many hands, each of ’em, asa book from a circulating library. They are alternately welcomed and kicked out. They are the one-night stands of dogdom. Life for them isn’t always made up of long naps and big meals. | But— Rover and his friends hang on. Every morning the assorted and unattached candidates for regular mascot jobs show up on one or another of the several drill fields. There they squat on their lean haunches and wag- gishly review the business of squads this way and that. They are comparing the possibilities between companies. At the end of the drill period they decide on an outfit and string along behind it, their watery eyes brimming with hope. On its way to quarters the company so favored gives one the impression of a huge kite; the dogs forming the tail. When the “topper” bawls, “ Dismisssst!” and the men start for their tents, the canine crew makes its bid for favor.

Next, Rover finds himself with a hank of rope round his neck and tethered to a cot, with a voice speaking to him in this fashion: “Now, you sonuvagun, yore name is Maitland” (naming a fellow squad-member) “and yore my dawg. If any guy in the tent says ‘Boo!’ or any- YOU'D THINK WE WERE GOING TO A BALL OR SOME THING {INSTEAD GF OUT IN_sTH' Myp!! —Weadsworth Gas Attack. thing else you don’t like just you up and chav’ ‘im in the leg. up to the cookhouse and rustle a bone for you" Now, the bow-wows round the regiment a almost invariably even-tempered.
