One Minvve Test Answers an officer with both hands In my pockets. I was as surly as a porcupine with ingrown quills. I was gold-bricking twice around the dial every day. Finally, a Jiggadier- Brindle gave rne a working over. he said to his best epau- leted voice, "Discipline is the army's backbone.

When you let it get round-shouldered you are up Salt Creek with your whiskers around the propeller shaft. "The way to win battles Is to enforce discipline. The way to starch discipline is to give orders. The Jiggadier tells-the Colonel and the Colonel tells the Major and so on right to the end of the pup's tail. "One guy steps on the other bird.

Nobody in the army has his foot on the ladder. Only his fingers." Well he spilled a lot more nutritious information and I began to inherit a vague idea of whv I wasn't allowed to play leap-frog with the Colonels. The big boys say. "You salute tlie uniform and not tli; man." I told them, 'That means when you get a boot in the pants you are kicked by the foot and not the shoe?" They answerecl, "Kid. you got the idea." I refauttled, "It feels just the same." Then we saluted and marched off arm-in-arm in opposite directions.

He went to his luxurious quarters while I had as much fun with my thin dimes. Down near the fag end of the conflict I three officers earmarked for cauliflowered calisthen- tics. I started in on the first and most obnoxious and got my ever- Joving whiskers barbecued. He kicked me around a forty acre lot and wound up with right swing that centrifugalated me into a whirling-Dervish.

You can tell the time whenever you please." "The time? Yes. it's important to know the time. And you do need clocks." "That's what I said. Blinky. you do need clocks." Two Clocks "In the country." said Bimky.

"we've only got two clocks--two very big clocks." Willy looked puzzled. "Yes. two big clocks." Blinky went on. "the Sky and the Earth. The Sky tells you the day-time and night-time.

"You don't say," said BJinky in go for miles and miles and not ccme to the end of it!" Blinky Agrees "I suppose that's nght." agreed Blinky. "Still it's not such a very short walk either if you go down the road past the mushroom where you live.

I hear the road goes around the hill and across the river and past the woods and it still seems to keep on going long after you're too tired to go any farther." "H'mm," said Willy, "but there aren't any houses. In town there are houses one next to the other." "It all depends on what kind of houses you mean. Willy. If you mean places where folks live, then I guess there are just as many here around us as there are in town. Every tree is a house for a robin or a wren or a sparrow or some other kind of bird.

There are as many flies there as there are here, perhaps even more. Boodbye. Willy." "Goodbye?" exclaimed Willy In astonishment. "Did I say I was ing away? Why should I move away. Blinky?
