It was loo much like playing 'possum. When the l/uA?ruielsier came Into the ortskonunnntmntur, the ahl told him that. In so far as lie behaved him self, he would have nothing to fear from the American army; and that In ho far as It didn't Interfere with the. satisfaction of American interests, he was to continue governing I he town as usual. The hurgcrmelstor stiffened himself and withdrew. The aid was pleased. His first ofll clnl act, he fell, had been kindly, .vet firm, just hut not harsh. If he had his way, It?? would not suffer as north ern France had suffered. He was go ing to show these bodies that the Americans weren't there to terrorize, or to Americanize, but simply to oc cupy territory according to the terms of the armistice. Hut by could m?t see the scene in the bgrgermelster's oflice overhead-?the holding of cheeks in hands, th;? strik ing or chesls. the weary and rapid breathing of bewilderment, the grouus of despair. And the next morning, when he went to the ortskonnnandun tur, he was met by a request that he grant an audience to his Herman col league. It wsis 10 o'clock, the exact hour of yesterday's meeting. lie granted the request, and in a moment the shaved rat slid in through n slit in the. open door and ran his tongue over his pink lips. Ills little black eyes shone like shoe buttons, and he kept scratching the palms of his Imnds. He wanted to know *lf the Herr Choriontnunt- bad any orders for him. The Herr Oberlcutiinnt wanted to know why. "Aeli!" cried the hurgeriueister, "he fore the Americans came we had n government. Now weJuid none. How, then, can i run the town of H ns I used to run it? There is no one to tell me what to do. If only the Ilerr Ober leutnant would express his wishes!" The aid narrowed his eyes and looked at him In disgust. "Have the streets cleaned." he said, and turned to his work. The lace of the burgomaster was radiant. He had found a boss. In less than thirty minutes a platoon of bodies was assembled In the street before the ortskonnnandantnr. 1*1 very other man carried a broom at .right shoulder arms and the man at his side :i shovel.
