had been wounded and was then in a
French convalescent hospital at Gras-
Sc and that he spoke no French, and
from then on, during my stay we were
inseparable
Unfortunately two days later thru
my usual clumsiness / had d fall and
broke my left arm and wrist and had
to go back to Cannes and report my
self TO the American army hospital
there. The arm was set and | was in
due course retained as a patient. When
had left camp there was pretty
substantial rumor that my unit was
to leave for the states at an early
date and | did not look at my con-
finement in hospital with very much
satisfaction but the chief surgeon told
me that there was no help for it and
he further took care TO point out that
one could have far worse luck than
to have the run Of such a hospital as
ours of the French Riviera during the
months of January and February. And
soon found that he was entirely
right. We were quartered in fa-
nous English hotel, set in wcnder-
full park and just a mile from town.
My room overlooked the sea and early
in the morning on the clearest days,
before the sun had risen high enough
to dazzle the horizon, away off to
the south east | could make out the
dim outlines of Corsica. You have
heard of the blue Of the Mediterran-
can, and take my word for it, that it
is just as blue as that if not more SC.
And the green of the shores, the light
green of the palms, the darker green
of the olive groves and the deep
green of the cedars and expresses

Of the villas and the brick red of the
lateen sails of the fishing boats, fur
nished a daily riot of color that we
iseldom see on this s.se OF the Allan
tic. We were permitted to go down
to Cannes and to Antilles and ! even
ventured to go once more to Nice, this
time by street car and so avoided
the troublesome M. p. at the depot.
My luck was good that a few days
later | went to Monte-Carlo by train
and had a look around in the famous
Casino whose bank it has been many's
ambition to break. American soldiers
in uniform are not allowed in during
the gambling hours, but that is
scarcely a hardship as none of us ever
had enough francs in our pockets to
more than pay eights francs to a
waiter for a five franc chip to carry

spare to survey the contents of my
prize package and to comment on
its contents. If it did nothing else
it thoroughly broke the conversations

was a small loaf of bread about the

piece Of Rochefort cheese, small but
potent, slab of jellied tongue, two
apples and last of all a black bottle

cents. There was also included a

of these were eatable you can scarce

started in, but as the tongue was very
salty | had recourse at once to the
bottle which promised to be the life
of the party. / opened it with a pop
and found it was highly carbonated
mineral water, which according to the
label, was very beneficial to the liver.
My liver was quite normal, il was my
stomach just then that was bother
ing me the most. ] am still curious
to know just how badly / would have
Jared at the depot buffet for seven
francs.
The late comers in the compartment
were three members of an opera
troupe on their way back &c Marseilles
where they were booked for the next
evening. All Of them had been to the
States and one, an elderly gentleman
who might have been the chief villain
but who actually was the clarinet in
the orchestra, had been as far inland
as Chicago. He took great delight in
telling the others how their train
compared with the Pennsy's eighteen
hour flyer. OF the ether two Ma
danes the elder spoke fairly good
American and translated for me while
l endeavored to get into the good
graces of Madame, the younger who
disliked New York, thought Boston
"tres jclie" and who was herself very
restful to the eyes.
We reached Cette, on the Mediter-
anean about dark and just in plenty
of time to miss the express. That
mishap required us to take the omni-
bus, type of train that for speed
compares very unfavorably with To-
cal freight. The trainmen forgot to
charge the gas containers in cur car
so we made the four hour run to
Tarascon by the light of candle. A
tragedy was nearly thrust upon us
in that time. l had passed some
chewing gum around and beyond ex-
planning that it was our favorite
American confection (not to say in
door sport) had spared them any in
structions as to its manipulation.
Finally a grunting and gasping that
had been going on in an undertone
from the old chap in. the green velvet
coat took on more serious note and
he began to gargle and cough most
alarmingly. He managed to explain
that the gum after chewing refused
to be swallowed and had stuck fast
in his throat. Every one took hand
in his restoration. Those who had
bottles or canteens offered them and
those who had neither contented
themselves by whacking him on the
back. When he was breathing nor
mallv again presented him with
another cigarette and although it was

| too dark to be certain, fancy he
eyed it suspiciously before he finally
| lighted it.
After two hour wait on the depot
platform at Tarascon where every
one tried to keep warm, watch their
luggage and catch a short nap, the
crowded Lyons Mas,seille exl>'ess
pulled in and some two hundred more
of US fought cur way aboard. My
recent acquaintances proved friends
indeed at this time for by means to-
tally beyond my comprehension they
found seats and Madame, the elder,
sent the Clarinet to tell me that there
was also room for me If i did not
mind little squeezing. We got tc
Marseilles at three a. m. and before
I'VE left the train / was asked to call
at the Comedie that after noon where
tea was to be had for the performers
and their friends.
Since my destination was Grasse, a
short destination from Niece, the As
sistant Provost Marshal on duty at
the depot would only allow me a "a
hour stopover here and it took about

Jammed to the guard rail and in the

all his equipment with him, his steel

mask to convert the garliced atmos-
phere into breathable medium.
The special feat is to get seat by

off the double exploit very easily by
being the first one in the compart-

chilly at this stage of the game and

conceed the victory and relapse into
a better humor. However one must
still remain on guard for if you desert
your post for even a moment you will
hnd your place prompted when you
return. And always beware of the
affable person who asks to use your
seat while he or she speaks out of the
window to a friend on the platform of
