NO replied the sergeant, whose

that he might be relied upon as an au-

way:
You see the man who has got a

or any other time wouldn't have the
nerve to go to it as a deserter, be-
cause his folks would be respectable
and they wouldn't have any use for a
man who had run away from the army
Then again the man who has a sort
OF hankering to get to his own home
must have streak OF decency In him
that wouldn't let him desert.
And the fellows who just take the
holidays as time for a lot to eat
wouldn't desert now, for you cant beat
