When one division moved up to q

In being as comfortable as the exigen.
cies Of war will permit. He was one
OF those "sleek-headed men. and such

began to look around for a bed. In a
barn he found the village hearse. which
by some oversight had not been evac-
uated. And there he lies nightly.
Somebody else liked the idea and
tried to bunk on the roof. But the
hearse wouldn't stand Il. II threaten
