Once more Mr.. Wrinkle fired the
machine gun. BY moving it about
sufficiently he managed to send sew
eral bullets where they were sup
posed to go. He clung to the trig-
ger desperately, hoping to do well,
if only by accident.
The Sergeant had to yell for him
to stop. Pop" the Alphabet told
him fondly, IF it was anybody ex-
cept you, I'd know he was gold

into the best machine-gunner on the

Freddie sat nonchalantly at the
gun. 1t was the first time he had
followed an order with any kind of
grace. He looked around. The Lieu
tenant was far down the line.
"You see that target?" Freddie
asked Sergeant Czeideskrowski.
"That's you"
"Shoot the gun instead of your
mouth" Jack advised.
Freddie glared at him.

They hadn't seen Jack or Freddie
