SI AND SHORTY were too glad to get their boys back, and too eager to find their regiment, to waste any time in scolding the derelicts."I have forbidden them," she said, "but I have not stopped them. Nor will I. The fact that they are forbidden adds a certainspice to the parties themselves. My 'discovery' of one of them does shake the participants up a trifle, but this is a minor damage: more important, it keeps alive the idea of 'forbidden fruit'. The parties are extremely popular. They are extremely useful. Were I to permit them, they would soon be neither popular nor useful.""Hooray! Hooray! They're gittin' some o' their own medicine now," yelled the excited regiment. "Sock it to 'em. How do you like that, you ill-begotten imps of rebels?"

ONE:"Sure it can," she said. "But democracy is a civilized commodity, Johnnyin a primitive society it's a luxury the society can't afford. What guarantees have you got that the clan will elect the best possible leader? Or that, having elected him, they'll follow him along the best paths?"

THREE:Cadnan thought for a minute. "Important is what a master needs for life," he said at last. "The masters need a slave for life, because a slave must push the buttons. Without this work the masters do not live."
FORE:Marvor seemed to lose patience all at once. "Very well," he said. "But you will not tell the masters what I say?""Look out for yourself, reb. We're a-coming," shouted Si.

THREE:"I'll walk every step o' the way, if you'll let me go on," said the Deacon."Silence," said the General, sternly. "Don't aggravate the offense. You were properly punished."
FORE:"No; he's my meat. I found him, and I'll take care o' him. But there's just one thing that reconciles me to this business. In spite o' all this sashayin' and monkeying we seem to be continually edgin' up closter to them big cliffs where the rebels are, and something's got to bust purty soon. It's jist like it was at Tullyhomy, but old Rosecrans ain't runnin' things now."CHAPTER VII. SHORTY'S HEART TURNS TOWARD MARIA
Well, friends, some of them went right back and asked to be servants againthey did so. It's a historical fact. But that was no good: the machines had taken over and there was no room for them."Where's the camp?" asked Si."Certainly; I didn't think o' that before," echoed the father.
