ed there by the nurse after she had
finished spreading his blanket up
smoothly. At his question, she turned
and gave him a box Of matches and
hurried on, then remembered that the
arms beneath the blankets were with
out hands.
Nurses have to be without tears, but
there were tears In her eyes as she
turned to strike the match and light
the cigarette for him.
"Quit that" he said, "they were good
1nits, and they helped get three or four
Germans before / lost them, hut they

And the tears story that brought
smiles7 Well, that was the story of Il

canteen saw that he had tears running
down his cheekss She was curious to
know what he might be reading and
was astonished when she looked over
his shoulder 10 see that 1t was the
