Captain Johnston broke the silence
that followed.
You were speaking of Captain Boyd,

tell a story about his being in China in
1905. A bunch OF natives got him and
were deciding what particular method
they would use 10 cut his throat. Well,
sir. he pulled off some sort Of tremen-
dous bluff. and the end Of il was that
he reviewed some Of their troops, had
some honors given him and was finally
sent home with special troop as a
guard of honor"

Private Matthew German sat in the
sun on the porch of the post headquar-

admired his new army shoes. He un-
buckled his belt and loosened his bay
