The Front Rank Good Enough
for Poor Jere.

Jere Dyer of Company ID of GER
tain Massachusetts regiment was very
thin. He was also very narrOw-shoul-
dered, and not being even tall, could
not be considered in any way of impos-
ing appearance. He never felt that
touch of pardonable pride that came to
fortunate men who were singled out
from their fellows for guard duty in
front of headquarters because of their
soldierly bearing. Yet Jere was a
pretty good soldier, nevertheless. He
did his duty better than many others,
and at all times, particularly just before
payday, was able to pass muster. Jere
got along well enough in the rear rank,
having plenty of room there, but when
the company line was being formed,
and the men were being counted off in
two ranks" one, two; one, two HE
almost invariably managed some way
to become number one. This, when
the sergeant gave the order in two
ranks form company" brought Jere
into the front rank. Then his rear
rank man had no end of trouble. 1t
was fun, though, for bystanders to
watch proceedings in Company d when
.Jere was in the front rank. Those be-
hind him, when the men were march
ing company front, wavered like tall
grass in a cyclone. They usually stood

tain the required thirteen inches from
breast to back, treading now and then
upon the heels of their file leaders and
