■ •'■ i g*a mi was i rariK i ar iugh
ot I!rniirastle, I'a,. a member i the
7th Machine-gun Sanitary detachment.
His mother is Mrs, Carhaugh. ami no
mother ever reared a braver soi
Didn’t Talk of Deeds.
The Sergeant, who was a teacher
of mathematics before the wty\ was i
wounded when tits outfit was rushed
Into action near Chateau Thierry.
None of his hunkies knew just how,
because, as one of them explained,
"The Sergeant wasn't the kind of a
fellow who'll talk of himself You
can bet he was wounded doing some
thing for somebody, though.”
They did know that the Sergeant
lay out in the open a long time after
he was wounded Medical records
showed that. His leg was badly
smashed, and they operated at the
first hospital he reached. Hut gan
grene had set in. and four operations
had followed in an effort to save him.
They have hud lots of brave patients
that doctors and nurses and patients
admired alike in that hospital, hut
never one just like the Sergeant, who
said little, was always joking and
cheerful, and never had a complaint, j
The rest of the hoys in the ward
would do anything in the world for
"the Surge."
The little grout) sitting on the cots,
with the nurse, had been talking of
tlic Sergeant tor a long time when one
ot the Im.vs said. "You ought to write
to his mother, Miss Cutter. The
Surge thought tin- world of his mother
you know."
"I’m going to." replied the nurse. ;
"Vou hoys write out what you think
of the Sergeant, and I'll send that,
too.”
What the Boys Wrote.
Thr hoys did, and here are a few
lines from them:
Private Klincr Hyland wrote, 1
was with him as soon as he tame
from tin* operation, and I cried when
he went. He was a great boy a
clean fellow through and through I
«ish my foot was so 1 could walk
with him to the cemetery.”
\\ agoner John Trask wrote, "Our
Sergeant is gone Why, I loved that
fellow like my own brother. I've seen
other fellows go but 1 never felt like
Ihls."
Sergeant Vincent Sauer wrote, "I
never felt worse since I came in the
tight. He was game to the last, al
ways cheerful, and when 1 called
'Good luck to you' he answered me,
Thanks, I'll he O. K soon.' We al
ways had fun around his bed, he was
so cheerful. He was one of the linest
follows I ever knew."
Arthur Strain, who knew the Her
goant better than the rest, the hoys
say, because "he and the Serge liked
to dabble in poetry," wrote a poem
to send the Sergeant's mother.
They buried the Sergeant in the lit
tie American graveyard in a pretty
Lorraine valley, with an American
(lag over tin- codin, as eighteen sol
dlers tired three shots over Ihe grave
and the bugler gave "taps." Then
some of the hoys whose injuries per
milted their attending the funeral,
gathered flowers in the valley and the
nurses placed them on the grave with
red, white and blue ribbons around
them.

The Drive Is On
Hy CH ARLES R. DRISCOLL
Our boys are beaded for the Rhine.
The Huns are homeward turning.
And every night the sky is bright
With towns the Roche is burning.
Full soon the trail of blight and death.
The path of devastation,
Will point the way. by night and day.
Across the German nation.
Drive on brave boys from Yankeeland!
Our hearts with pride are swelling;
Today we dare to do our share
With something more than yelling
We’re going to back you up with < ash,
As much as may be needed ;
We’ll give > mi gulls to beat the Hun-,
Till vic'fry is conceded
The home-front drive is unde! way;
Your voices set-ill to c all 11 >;
We’ll change this tiling the Heinh

SERGEANT
LOSES LAST
GAME FIGHT
AN A M KII 1C AN HOSPITAL IN
FIIANCK. Sept. 2. (by mail).—"No,
they're not going to bring the Ser
geant back to the ward, boys."
Those were exactly the words the
nurse used Put the tone of her voice
and the look In her eyes said more
The little group in the ward which
had been playing cards on one of the
beds to forget the tension they felt
while the sergeant’s operation was
taking place, stopped suddenly, all
attention, till hungering for good news.
"You don't mean the sergeant’s
gone, do you?” exclaimed one.
"Yes. boys, the Sergeants’ gone.
Four operations were Just too much
for his strength. He never regained
consciousness.”
The little group of patients and the
nurse were silent.
The chap with one leg gone had
half a deck of cards in his hand.
Hazed, he relaxed, and the cards fell
to (he Moor, scattering over half the
ward. The chap with one leg gone
never noticed them.
He Was a Game Boy.
"(lee, the Sergeant's gone." he said
huskily, "he sure was a game boy."
"He was the best follow 1 ever
kimw." said another, "and tile < heer
fulest, too. I've seen them dressing
his leg time and again, and gosh I but
it hurt Hut did the Sergeant ever
say anything? Not the Sergeant- he
never batted an eye."
".lust io think." mused the third, "it
wasn't half an hour ago when we saw
him go out. I shouted, 'Good luck.
Surge.’ wiien tile Stretcher wa car
ried through tile door, and he : allied
and said, ‘Thanks, i’ll be back in a
few minutes with you.’ ”
They s.if there together, tile half a
dozen of the Sergeant’s hunkle all
inavlids, with the nurse of the ward,
just musing and talking like that, try
ing to realize that the Sergeant was
gone .Mess time came and went,
ami no one paid any attention to it
'bey were thinking only of tie Ser
geant
