FRIENDSHIP A LA GERMAN.
Otto Repays Proffered Kindness of
Old Acquaintance in Most Re-
markable Teutonic Manner.

American Magazine: Otto and
the soldier who tells the story used
to be friends, according to John
Taintor Foote's story called Otto"
The American attacks a trench and
finds Otto in it. The end OF the
story is:
"'"Otto" I says, an all but
dropped my rifle.
He was half layin, half settin'
against the trench wall. Them blue
eyes OF his was big an round like a
child that's seein' somthin' new an
strange. lie blinked when l said
his name, but never spoke.
"'"Otto," ! says, 81 know you"
"'"Otto," l says again, don't
you know me? I'm Bill Stigers
Don't you know me-
"'"Ya," he says, Il know you"
"'"Listen," l says. "We got to
have a talk. I'll see you later. Wen

Otto?"
"'"Ya," says Otto.
"Well, look-a-here! I says
"They're trompin' on your sore laig
where you're a-layin'. I'll life you
up on the fire step, here, out of the
way, an you'll rest more easy"
~ laid down my rifle an stoop-
ed over to get a-holt of him, an
Here, I'll show you.
Bill turned to me and lifted the
patch from his eye, or rather from
his eye socket-for the eye and part
of the lid were gone.
81 gave a shocked exclamation.
"Bill replaced the patch. Otto
had got a-holt OF a trench knife
somehow, an | hadn't noticed it, he
said"
