Sergt. Francis A. Guild.

Another of our Orleans boys has
been called upon to make the SUI
preme sacrifice for his country.
Francis A. Guild, only grandchild of
Winslow and Flora Guild of Orleans,
was born Feb. IA, 1895. He made
his home much of the time with his
grandparents. On May 2, 1917, he
enlisted for service and went to Bur-
lington for training. When the 26th
Division went overseas, he was un-
able to go much to his disappoint-
ment. He was sent to camps in both
North and South Carolina, being with
the 57th Pioneer Regiment and was
promoted to first corporal while in
camp. He went with his regiment
to Camp Merritt, N. j., from which
place he sailed for France, Sept. 20.
e. p. Doe of Orleans was at the camp
at the time and upon asking Captain
Sheperd what message he. should
bring back to the grandparents of
young Guild, received the following
reply: "He is a splendid soldier and
one Of the best disciplinarians in my
regiment. I have another promotion
in store for him and when he lands
in France, he will step on shore a
sergeant Lieut.. Alton A. Doe said:
"He has worked hard and has certain
~ made good in the service Of his
country"
On Saturday Mr.. and Mrs. Guild
received a cablegram saying that
Francis Guild died in France on Oct.
II of bronchial pneumonia. He had
been there only a few days. He was
all they had and much sympathy is
expressed for them in their bereave-
ment.

chuckled again as he counted out q
dozen Of the capsules and thought how
easy 1t would be to get this inquisitive
pair Of wolves. Two or three days be-
fore he had killed a caribou, and each
of the capsules he now rolled up in a
little ball Of deer fat, doing the work
with short sticks in place of his fin
gers, SO that there would be no man
smell clinging to the death-baits. Be
fore sundown Sandy set out at right
angles over the plain, planting the
bats. Most Of them he hung to low
bushes. Others he dropped in worn
rabbit and caribou trails. Then he re-
turned to the creek and cooked his sup
per.
The next morning he was up early,
and of to the poison bats. The first
bait was untouched. The second was
as he had planted 1t. The third was
gone. A thrill shot through Sandy as
he looked about him. Somewhere with
in q radius Of two or three hundred
yards he would find his game. Then
his glance fell to the ground under
the bush where he had hung the poison
capsule and an oath broke from his
lips. The bait had not been eaten. The
caribou fat lay scattered under the
bush and still imbedded In the largest
portion Of 1t was the little white cap
sule-unbroken. It was Sandy's first
experience with wild creature whose
instincts were sharpened by blindness,
and he was puzzled. He had never
known this to happen before. II fox
or wolf could be lured to the point of
touching bait, 1t followed that the
bait was eaten. Sandy went on to the
fourth and the fifth baits, They were
untouched. The sixth was torn to
pieces, like the third. In this instance
the capsule was broken and the white
powder scattered. Two more poison.
bats Sandy found pulled down in this
manner. He knew that Kazan and Gray
Wolf had done the work, for he found
the marks of their feet in a dozen diff
ferent places. The accumulated bad
humor Of weeks of futile labor found
vent in his disappointment and anger.
At last he had found something tangible
to curse. The failure of his poison
bats he accepted as a sort of climax
to his general bad luck. Everything
was against him, he believed, and he
made up his mind to return to Red
Gold City. Early in the afternoon he
launched his canoe and drifted down.
stream with the current. He was con-
tent to let the current do all of the
work today, and he used his paddle
just enough to keep his slender craft
head on. He leaned back comfortably
and smoked his pipe, with the old rifle
between his knees. Tho wind was in
game.
