CHAPTER Y

Between Mr.. Tinker and the ir-
reducible fact that they were actu-
ally off to one of the various wars
going on, Mr.. Winkle didn't sleep
much that first night. He lay there
precariously on the edge of the berth
trying to adjust himself to the situa-
tion and regretting a little that he
had not taken the chance of getting
out of the Army when he had the
opportunity.
This was, as the saying went. it.
This was what he had ira ned for.
He was going to where battles were
being fought. He was going to help
fight them. The realization struck
him so forcibly that he nearly fell
out of the berth, especially when
Mr.. Tinker gave him an extra hard
push.
Then, again, he endeavored to look
on the bright side of it.
He was hardened soldier, wasn't
he?
Well, maybe not hard, but with
plenty of preparation.
The additional months as a mem
Der of a service company had
brought the confidence of experience.
They had brought a Corporars
stripes, and finally those of full
fiedged Sergeant. He and Mr.. Tink-
