THREE
ON one murky, thunderous day, under a sky
ribbed with lightning, in a woeful land
scape of cropped trees, mournfully erect
, like accusing, defiant fingers charred and burnt,
"Golden Eyes" lost her way as many a "better
man," less tired than she, has done before this.
Anxiously bumping along a strange, pitted road,
her ambulance was struck by a Boche shell and
the world went dark for a little while. But the
girl and the dog that Love was keeping for "Bill"
crept and staggered out of the wreckage with
nothing wrong but tattered uniform and beauti
ful dog-coat, and a "fleck of bright blood on a
grazed shoulder.
After dazed hours of crouching through
6tony, brambled ground, "Golden Eyes" "wound
up again at her crippled car, and fell promptly
into the amazed hands of a German patrol ! Their
officer, bereft of every other sense in his astonish
ment, except his vanity and appreciation of a
blonde girl, with fallen gold hair and golden eyes
staring out of a white, tired face, with a daunt
less sot to its chin, ordered his patrol at a distance.
Interested, intent, he never saw the girl rip off
her brassard and a dog's white teeth close on it.
Even while he saw the fright in her face he found
time to wonder why her eyes were not in his, but
behind and beyond him, where a white and sable
dog was deserting! "Golden Eyes" prayed for
her fled "Uncle Sam," remembering the officer's
inevitable automatic. And only at quick shouts
and a shot of his patrol did the Boche officer
understand ; and by then an anxious-eyed dog was
a vanishing streak of white and gold that rose and
fell, up and down dale, and out of sight.
Tn his teeth he carried her Red Cross on white
and on its back was a message to "Bill,"
"somewhere in France," from "Golden Eyes."
