Winthrop and Edincott blood adver- tised itself in her Bostonese, but she was sound and strong and the way she instantly got at the invoice price of Henry and his real worth. pleased me- She was genuine American. The thing that troubled me was the fear that Henry would begin too soon to lambast onion soup. But he didn't and in a few moments we were having this dialogue:
 Henry: "Oh. yes indeed we've grown fond of her. Her father was"
 Auntie: "Oh. yes. knew her father. together in New Mexican mining claims in the eighties; l believe they made some money. But"
 The Gilded Youth: Well. Auntie- would you mind telling me had"
 Auntie: Why, on her application blank, of course with her fathers name age and residence"
 The Gilded One: But yon never mentioned it to me?' Auntie: Nor to her. either. Why should I? This is hardly the place to organize the Colonial Danes, I be- lieve you said a few minutes ago that you had met her on the boat Henry: 'One meets so many nice people on the boat"
 Me: You've heard of the woman who said she didn't know the man so- cially. she had just met him coming over on the boati'
 Nice People Travel By Boat The Gilded Youth looked quickly at me. catching me suppressing a wink at Henry. who grinned at the expiring ghost of it. Then Auntie led the talk to the raid of the night before: and invited us to come up for a nights sleep in civilized bed in the hospital We were quartered for the night with the ambulance boys, sleeping in barn loft. so naturally. we accepted her in- vitation. Just as we were leaving to get our baggage. out into the court came the Eager Soul bearing a letter. We did not see the address, but it was. alas, plainly dimpled in her face. for the Gilded Youth to see. and after greeting him only pleasantly. she handed the letter to us. saying: Would you be good enough to deliver this for me at Gonrecourt next week. as you are passing? It is to friend l met on the boat.'

sense it's direction; possibly that was imagination. But anyway we looked toward the German lines and realized Henry's grave danger. And then it struck-whanged with an awful roar about seventy-five feet from us, against the bare trunk of a shell stripped tree. We knew. without look ing that the shell had hit the tree. Then our consciousness recorded the fact that a French soldier had been standing by that tree. And slowly and in terror we turned our eyes tree ward. The tree was a mass of splinters. It looked like a special sale of toothpicks in show window. Then we turned our eyes toward the place where we had last seen the French soldier. We hardly dared to look. But instead of seeing a splatter of blood and flesh upon the earth by the tree stump. we saw the soldier rise from the buck brush where he had been ducking, and light a cigarette. The shell had hit not a dozen feet above him, but had sprayed it's fountain from him, in- stead of toward him. He had some trouble lighting his cigarette and was irritated for a second at his inconven- fence. But so far as we could see. the fact that death had reached for him and missed him by inches he'd left no impression upon his mind. Three years in the war had wrought some deep change in him. Was it entirely in his nerves or was it deeper than nerves, a certain calmness of soul-or was it merely a dramatic expression of a sol dierly attitude? We did not know.
 A Tree to be Decorated
 But to Henry and me, who had been rescued from death by that tree that stopped the shell headed straight for us. it seemed that we should come back after the war was over and nail a medal of honor and war cross on the stump. and put up statue there with an all-day program. We had no de- sire to hide our fright It relieved us to chatter about the tablet on that tree stump.
 The French soldier strolled over to us helped to straighten out the camion. and when we learned that he was going down the hill we gave him lift. He was a hairy. dirty. forsaken looking poilu who, washed and shaved and classified. turned out to be an eX- change professor from the Sorbonne. who had spent year at Harvard, and it was he who told us of the bombing of the hospital at Landrecourt; we'll

 CHAPTER W Wherein We Find That "Our Faq is Sill Tha.aN

"neTein we Find That "Our Flag IS
 Still There"
 This chapter will contain the story of our visit to General Pershing and the American troops. But before we came to that part of France which holds our men we passed through divers warlike and sentimental en- terprises which lay across our path, and while we relate the story of these adventures. the reader must wait a few moments before we disclose the Ameri- can flag. But the promise of its com ing may buoy him up while the pre- liminary episodes clog the narrative.
 One afternoon we were chugging along in the Red Cross ambulance com ing down from the first aid posts where We had been talking to some American ambulance boys on the French front, when we noticed the arrives were land ing regularly so We knew that the Ger mans were after something in the neighborhood-perhaps a big gun, per haps an ammunition dump. We were speculating upon the nature of the tar get when We whirled around a corner and saw it. It was a cross-road. Four roads forked there; the Germans, of course, had it marked. It was getting it's afternoon pour parler; for they believed that the ammunition trains would be passing that cross-road at that time. And as We looked out of the windows of the ambHlance our hearts jumped-at least Henry's and mine Jumped-as we saw that between us and the forks of the road a great French camion had skidded and stalled, with two wheels over the embankment that raised the road from the swamp about us, effectually blocking our way.
 He Proved 1t
 This" said Major Murphy, taking in the situation quickly, lis a mighty dangerous place." As the word place" escaped him he was on the ground. He had slid through the window Of the ambulance. The ambulance drivers Singer and Hughes-neglecting to un- lock the ambulance doors, ran up the hGoad and began working with the drivers of the camion. to get the great van on the road again. The other oc- cupants of the ambulance also hurried to the camion-through the windows of the ambulance: no one was left to unbutton the thing for Henry and me. Henry insists that he was there alone that he was afraid to follow me through the window for fear of stick ing in it. He had not been avoiding fats, sugar and starches for year and had no girlish lines in his figure. And the arrives were certainly bouncing in rather brashly. The rest of us were out in the open where we could duck and perhaps avoid the spray of shrap- nel. But an ambulance was no more protection against fifty pounds of Ger man junk than an umbrella. And there sat Henry in the ambulance wistfully looking through the window of the ve- hicle and realizing that his exposure was less in dignified sitting posture in the ambulance than it would be horizontally half in and half out of the thing, held fast in the vain endeavor to get away. So he waited for the next arrive to come with commend able fortitude. And then it came

Soul announced:
 A Family Trait
 "Oh. yes. believe so. 1 haven't met her yet. They all say she is charming" Henry looked at me. She caught the glance. Then to cover his tracks he grinned and said; Charm seems to run. in their family"
 Yes, she returned amiably. One meets so many nice people on the boat"
 And Henry, still in pursuit of use ful social information. insisted: Well, are they as nice in the war zone as they are-on the boat?"
 We got our first dimple then. and the Eager Soul tucked in a wisp of red hair. as she answered:
 Well, really. I've been too busy To know" She turned absent-mindedly toward the figure of the Gilded Youth across the court. But the. dimples and the smile faded and she closed the door firmly and finally on romance, when she said: "On the record of service shown by my entrance card, they have made me assistant to the new head nurse who is coming over from Souilly l tonight"
 After We had told her that we were going to American headquarters soon. she smiled again. to show us that she knew that when we went probably we ! would see the Young Doctor But 1 she let the smile stand as her only response to Henry's suggestion of a message. In another moment she turned to her work.
 1 Well" said Henry. some pride. | One meets so many nice people on the boat. The idea being that her out fit at home is just as good as Auntie's group in New York. even if he didn't introduce her! You know I rather like the social spunk of our Great Middle Vest"
 Seeking a Social Basis While we were talking the Gilded Youth began moving Auntie slowly but rather directly around the court to us. l It occurred to me that perhaps he realized that we were the only social godfathers that the Eager Soul had in Europe. and that if he introduced us to -Auntie it would be an indication l that the affair of the boat. if it was an affair. was to be put upon social basis. And in two minutes more he l had docked Auntie at our pier. A l large. brusque, well-groomed good looking woman of fifty, was Auntie Her
