"Nothing, only the left side o' my head tore out," said Alf feebly. "Something struck me, probably a bomb-shell, just as I was going up the bank after you. I went down to our Surgeon, but he was too busy to attend to me. I then found the brigade hospital, but the Surgeons there were too busy, too. They gave me a roll of bandages, and told me to fix it up myself. I did it with the help of one of the men who was waiting to have his leg dressed.

She paused. "Good Lord, girl, I've got to know if I'm getting through!"
"Good! Good!" yelled the rest. "So we will. Old Jeff's right for once. What else do you see?""Take out the gag, let him up, and let me hear what he has to say," said the General.Norma felt suddenly frightened. "What's wrong?""Better do something with that cow right off," advised the first-comer, as he walked off. "You can't keep her in camp all day.

THREE:"No, no," said Sandy Baker, desperately. "It's just that blame fool Pete. Come on! Come on! We've got to. We were ordered to. Le's make a rush for it, like the men in the Indian stories done when they was sent for water."
