popularity as the Isl Klegg"
series. From the very first
the story attracted a host OF
readers, and these increased
IN geometrical ratio as the
publication progressed.
1t is the story plainly, SIM
ply and truthfully told of the
development of two green
country boys into veteran
soldiers of the highest type.
The story is told with affec-
iionate fidelity by one who
marched, camped and fought
with them, and there is a
universal agreement that it 10

detail and incident is so
truthful, so like his own ex-
pcrience that the veteran in
stantly recognizes it with
burst of laughter or the
tears yelling into his eyes.
The abounding humor of the
book is one of its most fas-
sinating features. Wherever
it is possible to extract fun
out of any situation or hap
pening it is done in the real
old army way. The heros of
the story see the fun them
