bringing the little ones from his horne.
He said that the affection was un-

could break them between his thumb

One Of the boys legs has been frac.

many fractures. They knit very bad.

the caisson when the shell struck-to

He returns with it, triumphantly,

horses and brings back the caisson.
Some chasseurs come up the street,
and there are more signals and more
shells. The artilleryman beside me is
