The Rookie Who Talked Too Much.
Most of the soldiers knew and had
served with and seen General Persh
ing. lie sees more of the doughboys
than most major generals and gets In
closer contact with his men. Yet they
talked little of him except to show
they had faith lu hiiu. He seemed to
be a sort of distant person who si«ut
his time lu some Indefinite place. The
captain is the soldier's friend.
There was much speculation as to
what they would do when they reached
France, and all were eager to get into
action. They wanted to try It anyway.
"We may be fed up on it a year from
now," declared one fellow who had
been watchfully waiting several
months in .Mexico, "but I hope we get
some action soon."
I was beginning to think 1 would
see the trenches myself and half hoped
so. I knew 1 wouldn't be scared, and
I felt 1 was part of the expedition by
this time. Nothing would have suited
me better than to have climbed into a
ditch beside Corporal John Carter, U.
S. A. I hail i aught the spirit of the
crowd and had half got my husband
to consent to let me go along as far
as J could make It. I was happy.
Then one morning without any warn
ing a talkative rookie, who had been
seasick, but was now better and fresh,
said:
"Did you hear there is a woman
aboard?"
"You don't say!" I answered. "Where
the devil is she?"
"1 don't know I can't make her,"
he answered. "I've been looking every
body over. All the boys on the ship
ar£ talking about it."
"Some men would make better old
maids than wouieu," I replied and
turned on mv heel and walked away.
There was a lump in my throat. The
old timers knew enough to keep their
mouths shut, but these rookies were
natural gossips The officers would
bear sure and U".:in a search. Had I
coiiie all this way in vain?
CHAPTER IV.
The Jig's Up!
WIIEX u rookie told me all the
boys were talking about there
being a woman on board the
transport I knew tilings were getting
mighty shaky fur 111c.
Itookics like nothing better than to
crack wise, as the old timers call it, on
anything connected with their troop.
They have u keener seuse for Inside
news than a bird dug lias for a tlock of
prairie chickens. This recruit was a
specially' busy one of the breed. He
was as pleased over the prospect of a
new thrill as a Mexican is over a plate
of redhot chill con carnl. It would be
red hot for me. all right, if they found
me out.
By this time Sniithers was proud of
me us if 1 was liis own private idea.
He used to chuckle as much when an
officer hove in sight aud 1 stood at at
tention and saluted and got away with
It as he did when the '-bones'' rolled
him a good pot in a crap game. Then,
If he saw me watching him, he would
1 try to look very severe and growli
"Yop .shouldn't ought to 'a' done it,
Jtl&lie. Sure 'nuff you shouldn't." .
)Vbat Cupid Smithcrs sntd when I
told film the rookies were on the scent
and wore talking sounded like a word
barrage ifuui the heavy artillery, You
could snxdl the sulphur hi the air. No
apologies either. lie was mad clean
through.
"What them young shavetails need
ls'fl set of knitting needles." he growl
ed. "I tell you what you'd better do.
You'd better find that talkative feller
who tipped you off and see If you can't
shame him out'u the idea."
That sounded fair enough. My cour
age begun to pick up. The gome was
not over yet by a long way.
I found my rookie astern. He was
with two or three other youngsters.
They were licking Germans right aud
left, a favorite pastime of new men in
uniform. The old campaigners avoid
talk about soldiering. You would nev
er know by their conversation whether
they were on their way to a war or to
a tea party. The rookies had the
boches halfway to Derlln aud were
using the kaiser's helmet for a cuspi
dor when I broke in.
"Hey there, Kid FInkerton," I rag
ged. "Found the fem yet?"
"What do you mean?' demanded my
rookie, blushing like a high school boy.
.He knew I was kidding him.
I "Didn't you tell me there was a wo
I ro*a on board?"
I "Sore I did. I heard"
I "Well, you sure are some fall guy.
I M^ybe you heard we are going to fight
the-' Frltzes with pea shooters too.
A YouV fcettej gft hen to yourself. J he
tirst thing you kuow you'll oe answer
ing to llie uuuie o' Patsy around here."
Rookie Silenced.
Ttiut last shot bit the boy bard. He
iu.spec ted tliey were stringing him.
Every soldier dreads being singled out
lor the butt of bis comrades' jokes. An
irmy Patsy has a pretty tough time of
t. I was safe from that rookie, for
lie present at least.
I sneaked forward to tlie quarters
ivbere my husband was bunking aa
ioou as "lights out" I was anxious to
:ell him what had happened. He was
ivorried, but he tried not to show ,lt
lie told rue to cheer up; that no matter
ivhat happened he would stnnd by.
IVus | happy? Ask me. After all, he
iiight weaken and let me go with him
nto France. Right then 1 wouldn't
luve traded my trusty old doughboy
>ut!it fur the swellest wardrobe in New
i'ork city, and, from what we hear
Jack in Arizona, that Is saying a heap.
I didn't sleep much. I felt there was
something iu the air. Before midnight
here was a submarine alarm. The
>ld timer in the bunk under me hadn't
lit the tloor before he begau to squawk.
"^ome sou of a sea cook has snared
ny life belt!" lie complained loudly.
lie was digging up his bunk like a
log after a rabbit. Blankets, shoes and
jlothes were (lying in all directions.
Hie alarm sergeant, whose duty It was
o see that all hands were out of quar
:ers and ou deck, was prodding him
lone too gently to hasten him. A sol
lier from II company, a pal of his.
.•ame running up.
"Aw. g'wau, you rummy!" he called,
stopping long enough to have a good
a ugh. "You've got It on you."
The old timer beat it quick. It was
the tirst tip we had be was taking no
chances on being kissed by a subma
rine. Afterward be Insisted he had
been trying it ou and left it there by
mistake, but the boys wouldn't llsteu
to him. You're just as likely to get
tltted to a cotlin and forget about hav
ing it on as one of those seagoing life
preservers. They had bis uumber.
The next morning I decided not to
risk going up for drill. The rumor
ibout the woman was too fresh to be
safe. If It had reached any of the offi
cers they would be on the watch.
We turned out at 5 o'clock. Pulling
an our shoes, we next folded our blan
kets, placed them at the bead of our
bunks and prepared for Inspection.
Everything was as ueat and clean ae a
|iin. Not a scrap of paper or a bit of
refuse could be found anywhere.
American soldiers are always clean. It
Is a hard and fast rule of the service.
They never wait until Saturday night
to take a bath. A regular always looks
as If he had just been laundered.
I remained below, busying myself
... J I rp|,^ llo^ ,loan
jut only a few minutes when I beard
roices. I glanced toward the entrance
of our bunk room. Two lieutenants
were coining toward me between the
tiers. I slipped in between two bunks
so I would be out of sight as much as
possible and became very Industrious.
One of them saw me. I know now he
was looking for me, but then there was
a faint hope he was merely on regular
inspection. Since I have been told ev
ery man on deck was carefully gcru
ftnized. lie strode up.
"What are you doing here?" h# te
rn anded.
I knew In a minute the rookies' rn
110rs had reached the C. O.'a. I decid
ed to bluff it through to the end. There
was nothing to be lost by trying.
"I'm room orderly, sir," I replied,
coming promptly to attention and sa
luting. The room orderly stays below
to see everything Is in order and ship
shape.
"Your name?"
"Carter, sir—K company."
"Let me see your chest."
"Well, look at it"
I stood up squarely in front of him.
It wns my last chance.
"1 will," he said, at the same time
reaching out and grabbing my shirt to
rip It open at the thoat I clutched his
hand with both of mine and held on.
The jig was up. I was not frightened.
My only thought was for my husband.
What would they do to him? I could
not cry, although I tried my best Be
ing a woman, I thought it was expect
ed of me. The lieutenant loosened hia
grip on my shirt. He took me gently
but firmly by the arm.
"Don't worry, Httle girl. No one la
going to hurt you," he said. His vole®
was husky. "You were certainly a
game one," he added, which I took as
a compliment
Then, turning to the other one of the
officers, he gave the order that ended
my career as a doughboy—
"Send for the major!"
I did a Lot of thinking during thaw
silent ffew minutes while we were wait
ing fdt the hinjor. Neither of the offi
cers said a word. They seemed to be
unable to realize such a thing could
actually have happened right under
their eyes. What! A woman come all
the way from Douglas, Ariz., to "some
where In the Atlantic-' without they
getting wise? Nonsense! But there I
was. They had to face the fact So
did 1. What more I was going to face
I did not know.
Facing the Musio.
The major came in on the double
quick, and he wasn't bothering much
about his military bearing either. He
was too excited to be anything except
Just natural. When he quickly con
vinced himself 1 was real and not a
fake scare he sent for the quartermas
ter captain of the ship.
I wanted to see my husband pretty
bad by this time. If he hud appeared
on the scene I guess I would Just nat
urally have broken away from that
bunch, officers or no officers, and grab
bed him. They would have had to pry
me away from Corporal Carter with a
bayonet.
The quartermaster captain came in
all a-bluster. He was as mad as a
bear with a sore ear. A U boat would
have been welcome alongside of me.
"What are your intentions'/" he de
manded. lie gave me a swell Imita
tion of a chip of thunder. He expected
me to drop dead of fright, but I fooled
him. This didn't help his temper any.
"I want to go to France and Join the
Red Cross," I said.
"Why didn't you join it at home In
stead of trying to make a goat out of
the army?"
"I'm not trying to do anything but
get to France with my husband," I
answered. "If he is wounded I want
to be there to take care of him. That
goes for the rest of the boys in K com
panj too. Why should I sit back home
m a rousing cnair and \vait frnue sumo
strange woman is nursing the one I
love and his comrades? I'll go right to
the trenches with him. I'll fight with
him, and if he or any of the other boya
are hurt I'll drop my gun and take care
of them."
"We'll see about that," snapped the
quartermaster captain. "Right now
you'll come with me. Fall In there,
men."
I marched up to the orderly room oh
the top deck with an advance and rear
guard of one officer each. The Q. C.
was in command of the ship. The oth*
ers were trailers.
Without further ado court went ltito
session. Of course they thought my
whole trip had been fixed up by my
husband and some of his men. They
tried their best to get me to name my
allies, but 1 never did. IIow could I
when I didn't have any at the start?
I told my story straight, exactly as It
happened, and thai Is all there was to
it. Not once did they trip me up.
Finally they gave it up as a bad Job
and ordered me to a stateroom on the
first deck, under guard.
Then they sent for m.v husband. The
boys told me later that when an order
ly came and told him he was wanted
by the quartermaster captain he turned
as white as a sheet and almost collaps
ed, but In a second he bucked up like
a regular soldier. He couldn't obey
orders quick enough, because he want
ed to know what they had done with
me. It was a shame, for he had never
been up for anything before, and this
hurt his record.

"Hipress" outwears any boot ever

for "Hipress" isn't "built up" like
other boots. It's welded into one solid

made of the same extra tough rubber
that goes into Goodrich tires. Also it's
