He was aware that this sickness was providential. It saved him from a hysterical relapse and he recovered in time to entrain on a damp November day for New York, and for the interminable massacre beyond. When the regiment reached Camp Mills, Long Island, Anthony's single idea was to get into the city and see Gloria as soon as possible.
In the middle was the usual wait, a tiresome but necessary part of all military evolutions. To entrain a Signal Company sounds so simple. Here is the company there is the train. But first comes the man-handling of cable-carts on to trucks that were built for the languid conveyance of perambulators.
The yard when we arrived was full of soldiers, some about to march out and entrain for the front, others still loafing, and M. de L'Horme seemed to know each by name. The comfort packages are always given to the men returning to their regiments on that particular day. They are piled high on a long table at one side of the barrack yard, and behind it on the day of my visit stood Madame Balli, Mrs.
This warrant officer joined us at Gommecourt in 1917; his energy and fearlessness at once brought him to the front, and he soon rose from Serjeant to be Company-Serjeant-Major. His place in "A" Company was taken by Serjeant Wardle, of "C" Company. As soon as they were relieved Companies marched to Loisne Chateau, where they were to entrain.

But a herd of cattle will range four hundred miles in a season, so the cattlemen will be forced to revive the round-up, and make the long drives either back to the home ranch, or to the railroad. More cowboys will have to be employed. All the free life of the open will return.
Every step we took the excitement became more intense, and by the time we reached the Don Station where we were to entrain for Valcartier, almost all semblance of order was gone from the ranks. Young ladies carried the men's rifles, others decorated them with flowers, others clung to their arms and the sidewalks were a mass of excited cheering humanity.
After that the regiment will entrain and will go to one of the regular training camps, where you will find it on your return from the front." His American hearers looked out on a large village of unpainted pine barracks buildings. "That is a rest camp for troops when first they come from the transport," explained Captain Ribaut.
I can't move a regiment and its baggage in a day, can I? I've given them twenty-four hours to break camp and entrain." "Does the train master know which troops are going?" "He has orders to hold three trains, steam up, night and day." "I see," she murmured, strapping her soft riding hat more securely to her hair with the elastic band.
So we finally got everything off, wagons loaded and teams hitched up, and about mid-afternoon made our way through the quaint old city to a "rest camp" on the outskirts where we had time to wash and shave and eat another biscuit before we received orders that we were to march, at midnight, and entrain at Station No. . It commenced to rain about this time and never let up until we had entrained the next morning.
Yet her very composure made consolation impossible. They realized that she was sufficient unto herself. On the way to the station, where the Southards were to entrain almost immediately for the West, she talked in her usual cheerful strain to Mrs. Nesbit, Mrs. Gray and Elfreda Briggs, who shared an automobile with her.
