been in his leg five weeks
He amt had the care you d
give a sick dog, all because
you won't let him go to a
regular doctor. "
Go to a regular doctor
with a gunshot wound"
Wilkes said. THAT would
be a swell idea, wouldn't
it?"
"But the doctor you sent
don't know what he s doing,
and Mikes off his head
with fever"
She stood her ground with
a look of determination.
Don Wilkes reached into his
pocket and pulled out a roll
of bills.
Here 5000 for you," he
said. See how long you
can make that last. And
lay off that regular doctor
talk. I'll get him one, but
not for couple of days"
She took the money. He
noticed that she did not
thank him for it. But Mike
was a valuable man. He
couldn't afford to lose him.
Bess seemed satisfied with
his promise. When she was
gone, Don Wilkes was about
to return to his half-finished
toilet, when sudden sound,
coming in through the
opened windows, halted him.
He went into the bedroom
and looked out upon the
side street.
An Italian organ grinder
was making melancholy
hash of last seasons popu-
lar tunes. A monkey with
a strange little withered
face jumped with familiar
agility to the ledge of Don s
apartment. Between his fin
gers he held not a tin cup,
but a folded note. Don
took it from the tiny paw
and signaled to the musi-
clan quickly, who gave no
sign that he had seen-but
presently wandered away.
It was between IL and II
when the racketeer finally
stepped out of his apart
ment, and hailed a cab. The
address he gave was Beebe
Barrett S.
When he arrived there, he
found both girls in, though
Mary was on her way out
] to shop. Looking at them
with eyes that never missed
a trick, it seemed to him
they looked happier and
fresher than he had seen
them before. Even Mary
had gained a certain con-
fidence, talked and laughed
all too easily.
And in Beebe s face there
was an unmistakable radi-
ance. Don Wilkes chewed
his lower lip thoughtfully,
but his eyes and voice did
not betray him.
He waited until Mary was
gone. His manner with
Beebe was gentle and SYM
pathetic as if he were talk
ing to a child. She was
obviously glad to see him,
though he took care not to
meet her gaze for fear his
own would linger too long
and too significantly.

"I-I don't know exact

her promise to Johnny.

"Who made you prom

"I'd rather not tell you. "
The door had opened be-
hind his back. He stepped
aside quickly, and whirled.
Johnny the Hop had come
in without knocking.
The racketeer glanced
from the face of the addict
to Beebe and back again.
A sudden passion broke
out in his voice. "You
don't need to tel1 me- he
snapped. II know. This
rat here! I"
At the look in his face,
Johnny covered back
against the doorway.

that now, while we are still in the
war, sink down in us like stone;
after the war shall waken again, and
then shall begin the disentangle-
ment of life and death.
The days, the weeks, the years
out here shall come back again and
our dead comrades shall stand up
again and march with us, our heads
shall be clear, we shall have pur-
pose, and so we shall march, our
dead comrades beside us, the years
at the Front behind us-agalnSt
whom, against whom?
Some time ago there was an army
theater in these parts. Colored pos
tiers in the performances are still
sticking on a boarding. With wide
eyes Kropp and I stand in front
Of it.
We hardly can credit that such
things still exist. A girl in light
summer dress, with a red patent
leather belt about her hips! She
is standing with one hand on a
railing and with the other she holds
a straw hat.
She wears white stockings and
white shoes, fine buckle shoes with
high heels. Behind her smiles a
blue lake with white horses, at the
side is a bright bay.
She is a lovely girl with a delicate

death, yes; but that is different
matter, that is physical.
But our comrades are dead, we
can not help them, they have their
rest-and who knows what is wait
ing for us?
We will make ourselves COM
Portable and sleep, and eat as much
as we can stuff into our bellies, and
drink and smoke so that the hours
are not wasted. Life is short.
CHAPTER XVII
THE terror of the front sinks
i deep down when we turn our
backs upon it; we make grim,
coarse jests about it; that keeps
us from going mad; as long as we
take it that way we maintain our
own resistance.
But we do not forget. It's all
rot that they put in the war news
about the good humor of the troops,
how they are arranging dances al
most before they are out OF the
front-line.
We don't act like that because we
are in a good humor; we are in a
good humor because otherwise we
should go to pieces. If it were not
so, we could not hold out much
longer; our humor becomes more
bitter every month.
And this I know: All these things

Az QUTtT on 1HE Wf)1fRN FRONT 1S EESSgtr||

Yesterday We were under fire, to-
day We act the fool and go foraging
through the countryside, tomorrow
we go up to the trenches again.
We forget nothing really. But so
long as we have to stay here in the
field, the front line days, when they
are past, sink down in us like a
stone; they are too serious for us
to be able to reflect on them at
once.
If We did that, we should have
been destroyed long ago, I soon
found out this much-terror can be
endured so long as a man simply
ducks-but it kills, if man thinks
about it.
Just as we turn into animals
when we go up to the line, because
that is the only thing which brings
us through safely, so we turn into
wags and 1oafers when we are out
resting.
We can do nothing else, it is a
sheer necessity. We want to live
at any price; so we can not burden
ourselves with feelings which
though they might be ornamental
enough in peace time, would be
out of place here.
Kemmerich is dead, Hale Westhus
is dying, they will have job with
Hans Kramer's body at the Judg-
ment day, piecing it together after
a direct hit; Martens has no le- 5
any more, Meyer is dead, Max is
dead, Boyer is dead. Hammerling
is dead, there are 100 wounded men
lying somewhere or other; it is Il
damnable business, but what has it
to do with us now-we live.
If it we're possible for us to save
them, then it would be seen how
much we cared-We would hav~ q
shot at it though we went under
ourselves; for we can be damned
quixotic when We like; fear we do
not know much about-terror Of

/ company commander. He has one
too, his arm is in a sling. We go
over to him and I recognize Kat and

against each other, and look at one

And We hear the number Of our

this way!"
And then more softly: Nobody
else, Second Company"
He is silent, and then huskily he
says: "Is that alp" and gives the
order: "Number!"
The morning is grey. 1t was still
summer when we came up, and we
were $50 strong. Now we freeze, it
is autumn, the leaves rustic, the
voices flutter out YEARLY: "One-
-three-four-" and cease at
thirty-two.
And there is a long silence before
the voice asks: Anybody else?"-
and waits and then says softly: I'm
squads-" and then breaks off and
is only able to finish. Second
Company-march easy!"
A line, a short line, trudges off
into the morning.
Thirty-tWo men.
They have taken us farther back
than usual to field depot so that
we can be reorganized. Our COM
pany needs more than hundred
reinforcementS.
In the meantime, when we are off
duty, we loaf around. After a
couple of days Himmelstoss comes
up to us. He has had the bounce
knocked out of him since he has
been in the trenches and wants to
get on good terms with us.
I am willing enough, because I
saw how he brought Hale Westhus
in when he was hit in the back.
Besides he's decent enough to treat
us at the canteen when we are out
of funds. Only Tjaden is still re-
served and suspicious.
But he is won over, too, when
Himmelstoss tells us that he is tax
ing the place of the sergeant-cook
who has gone on leave.
AS a proof, he produces on the
spot two pounds of sugar for us
and half-pound of butter spe-
cially for Tjaden. He even sees to
it that we are detailed the next two
or three days to the cookhouse for
potato and turnip peeling. The
grub he gives us there is real Off
GERS fare.
Thus for the moment we have
the two things a soldier needs for
eontentment: Good food and rest.
That's not much when one comes
to think of it. A couple OF years
ago we would have despised our
selves terribly. But now we are
quite happy. 1t is all matter OF
habit-even the front line.
Habit is the explanation Of why
we seem to forget things so quickly.

They want place of their own, shack,
shanty or club room. They want to be where
others of their own age are and have good
time.
That is why many churches have social build
ings with gymnasiums ample for basket, volley
or indoor baseball, large enough to have physical
culture classes.
