was the saddest thing that he ever

He had been a long time in France,

gers to him. But when he spoke of
the sergeant and the private that they
had found dead beside Their machiue
gun he couldn't control his emotion.
1t seems that the sergeant and the
private had been caught in pocket.
The Germans, in force, were In front

Held Of Whole Company.
When they found them there was
pile of empty shells several inches
high around the gun and not single
round of unexpended ammunition re-
manned. The two had held off whole
company of Boche machine gunners
for several hours
The enemy had been around a bend
in the road. scant so yards away,
and hadn't been able to advance be-
cause of the brisk fire of the lone
American gun manned by the ser
geant and the private. The sergeant
had been evidently pointing the gun
and the private had been feeding 1t.
Their only protection had been lit
tie ridge where the dirt had been
thrown up beside the road.
The underground just behind them
had been cut to ribbons by the Boche
bullets and the trees near where the
enemy had been were SCARED by Yam

of fight and the Americans had been
winning against the terrible odds I'M

killed both.
Whether 1t was a Boche shell or
one of our own, nobody ever will
know. Both sides had been firing into
that Fart of the wood. Whatever the
source of the shell. 1t had done its
work quickly and thoroughly, for the
men were badly torn. Death prob
ably lad come instantaneously. They
had gone while the Joy of battle was
still upon them.
Death Not in Vain.
1t was glorious death but a sad
one because a few minutes after the
shell landed, the Boche had been
obliged to retire. Another half an
hour, and the heroic pair would have
been safe. But they had not died in
vain. The company that they had
held at bay carried back to the Ger
man lines story of American hero
ism that will do much to convince the
Boche that the men from across the
sea are going to decide the war. The
sacrifice of these two lives will save
others
They called on the Y. NJ. G. A. man
to help bury these two heroes. 1t was
not his first experience as a member
of burial party because he had been
at the front all through the big push.
As he aided in the burial he could not

engaged In that battle these two might
