'along' in'jhe road from the front creasing numbers and when the head of a column of about five hundred appeared down the road, the machine gun crew and Eadle adjourned to tbe edge of the road to watcb them pass. Arent yon afraid theyll bite you? asked Eadle as the M. P. went by him The M. P. looked darkly up at the sergeant on the bank above him. Boy," said he, "if I was to yell right l?ud at them theyd ruin their clothes. AH the same. said Ham to the sergeant, Its klnda dangerous to have one guy guardin' all that bunch." I aint guardin em," called back the M. P., who had heard, Im .show-iem the. road I Another long column went by and as Eadie watched If out of sight, he saw-thcaptain approaching down the road. Ah." said Eadle, "fareweM leisure. Here comes the Old Man." He hobbled back to tiie fire and put on his shoes and stockings.' Hang your eye on my slicker and. overcoat awhile,, will you, Ham? asked Eadle, wrapping bis puttees about his legs. Ill go report and then Ill come back." The captains eagle eye had lighted on Eadle, however, and he beckoned to the sergeant. Instead of going Into the trench. How did It go?" asked the captain, when Eadie stood before him. Good? I hope It keeps on this way. The Indications are that if will. Well. now. . Im going to give you a Job. The battery Is to move forward within hour. Our transport, kitchen and jn all that, wont leave camp until tonight And well be gone when they get here. So then, you come up with us and when we find out where the battery will take up position, you come back and guide our transport to the new position. It will be a nice Job." con eluded the captain, because youll be out of range most of the night. Of course, If a counter attack starts, you'll, hold the transport here. A few minutes later the machine gunners could see a runner arrive at the battery, the lone piece ceased fir Ing, and preparations were at once made for an advance. The limber came up from some place In rent where they had been In shelter and the guns were wheeled out of theii positions. The machine gunnershe-gato dismount their guns. Eadle again surveyed the sectoi from the little knoll.

On your way, the skippers lookin for yon." Dont let him kid you, sergeant," said a section chief. The men all grinned at Eadle. At the post of command Eadle was told that the captain had gone to the battalion for officers' call. The order had come by telephone some time before to cense firing, with the exception of one gun that was to shell a patch of woods on the left, where no advance bad been made and where the French troops who held that section of the line reported strong machine gun concentrallons. Wheres Ham and the machine gunners!" asked Endle. Over In the field, gdldbrlcklng." Eadle directed his course thither. Across the road the machine guns had heeD set up. their muzzles pointing skyward, ready to cordially receive any prowling German plane that came their way. "Hey. Hararr called Eatlle, bows the battle!" The machine gunners received him uproariously. They had broken open a case of emergency rations the garrison of the trench had left behind and were regaling themselves about a small fire, heating the beans In a mess kit and eating handfuls of sugar. Sit down, said Ham. 1 hear the boche lit out for Berlla Is that so! "Ill say It Is Is," agreed Endle. He spread his slicker and overcoat In the sun to dry out, untied his gas mask and let It hang In the carrying position and began to unwrap his puttees He happened to catch Ham's eye and a slight jerk of the head brought the machine gun sergeant to Eadles side. Ham," said Eadle. removing his wet shoes and stockings, I want the low down, now. Give It to me straight. What does this outfit think I pulled off up tu the Marne?

What a fool 1 was," muttered Endle. Well, Im never going to be scared again. This may b.e the last drive of the war. For all I know the German army has collapsed. Ill say the German army has deteriorated since Chateau Thierry. Well, whether It hns or not. Ill never be scared of.lt again."
