It was dusk, and on reaching a stretch of road where he 'had been warned that a German sniper concealed in a wood near by had recently shot a sen- try he gave the word to his driver for full speed ahead. The ¢ar dashed for- ward; buf at the next village a senti- | in Frenth uniform leaped to the] middle of the road, and the officer re- membered thdf the place had that day . been taken over by the French. He 'leaned out and hastily gave the pass- 'word for that night: "Abbeville. Al- 'bert "» { The sentinel, Capt. Swan relates, stood there in a crouching position at "Charge ' bayonets!" Charley after- wards swore that that piece of sharp steel was four feet long. In answer to hiss password the sentinel merely shook his bayonet 'and said, "B-r-r-h!"

For the ten minutes of the messen- ger's absence he waited, with the steel pigsticker resting on his rotund stomach, with the rifle behind if cocked, and a wild, determined Afri- can soldier behind that. When the "regular Frenchman" at last arrived, the sentry cheerfully removed his bayonet, grinned, and came to present | « arms--a salute returned with infinite relief by the United States officer.
