For days she had been on the trail
OF the wandering lad. At first she
started to cry and threw her arms
about him. At reporters, goums and
French officers she stared with in
describable scorn, leaving no ques-
ton but that she considered them
all lowly and loathsome forms OF
animal life.
This was terribly embarrassing to
Ernest in the moment of his glory.
He had just been telling how he
bagged his second German while
the goums, who couldn't understand
much French, nodded frequent con-
flrmation. This was the first time
I ever saw goums smile.
The child broke angrily away from
his mother, and that was the last
STRAW so far as she was concerned.
She dragged him away by the collar,
with a TRADE on what she thought
of us.
Tears were rolling down Ernest's
fair cheeks then. But behind the
old lady's anger we seemed to detect
a CLINT of pride in her eyes. So it
may be that the lad was not switched
after all.

principal element of the French
forces engaged in this part of Cor

boy must have appealed to the
Berber tribesmen. Perhaps they
have a sense of humor, though
ordinarily one would never suspect
1t from their cold, emotionless faces.
At any rate they dressed up Err

BY the time the French got around
to investigate, the fighting Was over
and the goumS brought Ernest back
out of the maquis. They affirm that
the little boy accounted for at
least two Germans. The tribesmen
made much of the angel-faced lad
and said that he was A worthy
recruit to their organization.
1t was all very well until they
got back to Babarggio. I happened
to be IN the village that afternoon
just after German strafing when
Ernest was brought around to the
village blackSmith's house to be
interviewed. He was swelling with
pride as, prompted by his goum
comrades, he told his story. It was
broken off, however, by the unex-
pected arrival of angry Nine. Buo-

that the firing effort of climb

do little in the way of taking

but how about the regular daily
schedule of exercise that does
reduce?
None of us is going TO look

would be a foolish procedure
except for an athlete in training.
We must, however, know the
way to keep all muscles alert
