Then comes a delicate touch of local color, a glowing description. "At he writes, "from one of those low hills by the river it looks like one of the great fairs of Southern Russia, for in the twilight the veldt ha.s something of the djar.kness, "silence and mystery of the steppes. Its purples are not so deep as those that twilight we-arss above the -black earth the Volga, but they have clear-njess and epace." And the resemblance is strengthened when the floating silvery veil of dust, which seems to rise with the evening, gives to all within it a masic distance- the tents, the tethered horses, the ungainly carts, the orange brightness of the camp' fires while out on the dark ening veldt, the laboring spans of oxen cbn be seen to move by the growing trail of dust behind them. man could paint that picture and paint into it the sense of war.

That and not the camp bugle gives the real 'last post." the night cali of this bird country into which iwe have come." But it is the plague of dust and flies that mJke life so unbearable.

From Modder river MV. Batterrfby writes: "When the first shot was fired across the Modder tfce 1-andi was green in its way. It had at least on it a make-biiieve of grass, a sparse, dried, untoothgome looking herbage, which man and beast accepted as fodder. Now it is a biasing red -waste of sand. The waste extends, the sand is ia intensified, as regiment is added to regiment, battalion to battalion, battery to battery, troop to troop.

The dust, which was once a nuisance, is now little lesss than a plague. It is always" being stirred by the strings of horses on their way to watering, which pass and. repass to the river almost every hour of the day, by the kicking, squealing droves of mules, by the long spans, of oxen. It rises on the stillest days without warning in thin, twistin? spirals of yellow sand, which take 'their own way, beauti ful end abominable" across the camp, befouling everything, upsetting everything that stands across their course, and reaching for hundreds of feet upward into th still blue sky.
