THE QUIVER 25 tance away, wistfully watching the noisy group, and called to him to join them. The little fellow was shy, but the rest drew him in and gave him a gun. Suddenly, one of the group demanded to know what his father had done in the war. The boy’s head lifted proudly as he replied, in halting English, ‘We are Belgian. Mon pere, h e was a private in the Belgian army since the very first. Just before I was sent over here he was killed in Flanders. My mother and my sister were taken away by the Germans when they burned our village. I tried to save them, but the soldiers kicked me. Our King gave mon pere le Croix de Guerre for bravery before he died. He was un brave homme, mon pere.’ “Each boy's eyes and mouth were wide open with astonishment and wonder. For a moment, not a word was spoken, then one of the boys shouted, ‘Hurray! He shall be our captain. ’Cause, even though his dad was only a private, he was killed in the Avar. Give him the sword and cap; he shall be our captain!’ “And a great shout of approval went up from the group as they made the little Belgian their leader.” HELEN SMITH, ’20 EXTRACTS FROM THE SENIOR DIARY If you’ll but read these records kept, Of the class of Nineteen-tAventv, You’ll find that there is much Avithin, To cause you laughs a-plenty.
