The column halted for q moment, and
from the ranks of prisoners came a
voice which said-not only in good

Wondering-and not knowing to
this day-how news of himself and his

It sounded like voice from home
yet 1t came from boche. And as
the officer later confessed he didn't
know whether to shake hands with
the fellow or shoot him.
