gray coats were firing with rifles at
the advancing troops.
Hit them, Yank! At it," yelled
the Australian, and he hurled himself
over the parapet.
There was no necessity to urge the
Yankee. He was down among the
Germans like a whirlwind, and then
there began a furious lunging and
parrying with the %bayoners. There
we're four Germans in that pit, great
strapping fellows with plenty of fight
in them. The American was in a bat
tie rage and he fought furiously. but
with the same headwork that charac-
terized his veteran comrades methods.
1t was all over in a moment and the
enemy lay crumpled in the ditch. The
American had accounted for two of
them; he had held his own.
Good fellow, Yank, you certainly
can fight" the Australian said, but
hell man, don't never stab another
Boche through the chest. You'll bust
your steel and ther'll be the devil to
pay. Get EN- in the throat"
Out of the Hamel wood. the Ger.
mans were maintaining a wicked fire
from their machine guns but there
vas no slackening of the advance of
the Australian or the American. They
surged forward with heads down and
teeth set.
Just a little distance ahead was q
machine gun nest and q bullet from
that direction grazed the Americans
cheek. 1t angered him. He had had
his baptism of fire; he had killed, and
now there was no stopping him. He
deliberately charged the nest and
hurled a bomb among the gray coats.
Another and still another hand gren-
ade went spinning into the midst of
the enemy with the precision of a base
ball thrown by an expert. Little
spouts of earth shot up and the rapid
firer was silenced.
Two Germans appeared from the
nearby cover with their hands held
high. "Kamerad!" they cried.
The American whirled and fixed his
bayonet.
mo, Yank, no." the Australian
shouted, 1.-The blighters are trying to
surrender. Let EN- alone. We will
turn 'em over to be sent back. Pretty
creatures, amt them, these cussed sau.
sage eaters!"
So the allied pair continued on their
adventurous journey and the story of
early moments of their fighting was
the same as that at the end. They
fought CALAMITY and grimly, side by
side: they killed and they also took
prisoners, and always the American
boy did his share of the bitter work.
1t was his first journey into the land
Of death. but he did not finch. They
reached their objective a mile and a
half from the starting point, and on
their right and left their comrades
were holding positions which they,
too. had torn from the enemy.

liam asserted as he wiped the sweat

eran said with a grin: you fellows
are mighty quick"
The American blushed under his tan
and smiled ruefully. "Oh, We are
good. all right, Shortly" ne replied
through clenched teeth.
The bullets kept coming in waves.
but the American did not dodge again.
On they went down the shell torn
slope that led to the Hamel wood.
They had encountered no enemy as
yet. but they were in the zone of
barbed wire and that tore their legs
cruelty at times as they pushed
through the network Of sharp spikes.
Then came the first German trench
defense and a runway where several
