Mailman did not wish the RESPONSE
bility when the company was doing
so poorly and he sent in his resigna-
ton. This put Second Lieutenant
Vaughn in line to receive the charge
of things and he got wind of it and
sent in his resignation. The same
thing was done by First Sergeant
Dempsey and Second Sergeant Dow.
Eighteen to 20 members of the COM
pany then resigned in rapid success

40 by the rules of the organization,
which provide that only so many
members may resign at time. There
are at least 10 more members who

places ffequented by them.
one OF these was called Ne Chen
Heureux," a two-story house situated
down near one Of the auays. Lights
were blinking brightly from its small
windows. and inside several stoves
were burning. where Thiel, the land
lord. and his one assistant, were pre-
pairing supper for several civilians and
soldiers who sat about, talking and
drinking. at the various small tables.
Sitting near the fire, two soldiers
and a citizen. together with Jean and
Pierre. we're listening to a man in
their midst, who. from his talk and
appearance. seemed 10 have been an
extensive traveller. This was Laro. an
habitue Of lie Chen Heureux when
on shore from the "Aigle." a rakish-
looking brigantine, OF which he was
owner and captain.
Jean listened with an attention
which, for some reason, appeared to
amuse Laro. who. now and then. with
a Quizzicai smile lighting his black
eyes, glanced askance at the boys en-
raptured face.
Laro's story had been listened to by
others seated around the tables. who
occasionally reminded Thiel 70 hurry
their suppers.
The next minute a soldIerlylooking
man came In. the uniform Of a petty
officer showing as he u~nclasped and
threw on the heavy cloak hat had en-
veloped him. After demanding sup
per as speedily as possible. he seated
himself some distance away from the
group az the FIRE.
But Pierre had been staring open
mouthed at him: and now the sound
OF his voice caused Jean 4 start, and
turn his head quickly in the direction
OF the shsdowy corner where the sol
der was seated.
