The boys could smoke all they wante*

vere absolutely dark, and there was i
evere penalty for lighting even i

Before dark I carefully located m;
lusband's bunk since I knew I wouli

couldn't afford to stumble over some
bins, because that would get Smither

Shortly after lights out I felt a gen

whispered :
"All right, kiddie. Go up forward."

"Korget you have seen me," I urged
'aud.let me go along. I will join th<

France."
Alarm Interrupts Talk.
He finally agreed he would not re
ort me until just before we arrived
f I got away with it that long, but hi
isisted he must do It then. However
re agreed to see each other the nex
ight to have another talk, and
bought, with the whole Atlantic be
ween us and France, I could persuadi
im in the meantime. Just as I wa:
etting ready to go back the submarini
larm sounded which broke all the boy
nt nf thpir hunks seasick as most o
hem were.
I ran back to my place Just In tim*

"Get up out of there!" shouted thi

"I don't care whether we sink o

he does. Don't bother me."
The sergeant routed out the rooki*
i-ithout much ceremony, and I follow

iroceeding quietly to their places, fas

t them bad been wakened out of snoi

My seasick rookie, however, elimbei

"Don't you know," bellowed the coi

"I don't think this la a very demc

'if they're fussy what boat you get ii

The alarm was only intended as i
light drill, and we were soon orderet
jack to quarters. I trailed along wit!

Disappointed Through Failure to
I See TJ Boats.
However, these optimists were doomI
ed to disappointment, for our ship did
| not see a "German porpoise" tke wkole
voyage, nor did we hear a gun flred.
Since returning to the United States
I have beard of the attack on some of
the ships of the transport fleet, but it
was not on the part of it we were with.
It wouid have been impossible for us
to have been attacked and not to have
1 known of it As I say, lots of the boys
were disappointed because they could
not write borne to tbe folks about the
narrow escape frosa tbe subs, and the
doughboys are great letter writers.
Perhaps some of them did, anyway, so
as to let those at home know they
i, weren't missing anything.
r By this time I felt almost like a sole
dler and had learned to smoke "tailor
made" cigarettes, although I bad tried
e it only once before this trip as an eia
periment when I was at school and had
e abandoned it after a couple of puffs.
In the privacy of my bunk I devoted
J a whole lot of time to trying to roll
them with as much carelessness and
real economy of tobacco as are shown
I by the U. S. soldier. I had acquired
the "matin's" and spent hours at the
j task.
e About tbe third or fourth day out 1
I felt I was pretty proficient and got out
t my brown papers and tobacco on deck
L and went to it Near me was a sailor
3 off one of our biggest battleships who
e was in the gun crew assigned to defend
s tbe transport from attack. He was
* off duty, and i saw him watching me
>1 eloselv as I rolled the pill. Finally be
0 sidled up.
"Say," he asked, "you're a Jane, ain't
y you?"
3 "What are you doin'?kid din' me?' I
j asked him.
f- "I guess you're kiddin' me," h* ans
swered. "I pegged you by the way
7 you wrap ap one of those pills. No re1
cralt Is so raw he can't roll one better
1 than that They wouldn't let him In
3 the army If be couldn't But what
you're doing on this Joy ride is nona of
i- my business, sis. Don't be afraid I'll
s tip you off. I'm in the nary, and what
the army does ain't my affair so long
as we get you over there all O. K."
1 I didn't admit I was a girl, but he
t knew. He was a nice boy. who had
1 come from Iowa originally, and I got
e real well acquainted with him later.
He was one of the few people on the
F transport on the way back, a sad and
lonesome trip for me, and we became
e quite chummy. I saw him only the
t other night here in Hoboken.
"Well," he remarked, "it's hard luck
t they got you. The other two girls
- aboard could roll them better than you
and slipped through all right"
1, "More power to them if they did," I
a answered. "I hope they made It"
i Of course there were no more girls
on board. He was trying to kid me
and get my goat
Life on Shipboard.
It I was pretty happy and contented for
9 the next couple of days, and I guess I
became too sure of myself. Moat of
t the boys were getting over their seaI
sickness by this time, and the inev
itable crap game that follows the army
b was In progress. You could hear the
9 men calling for "Little Joe" and "Jime
my Hicks" after they got out the "hot
s and colds." and they made plenty of
f noise.
The officers were not rery strict
e aboard ship and let the crap game run
i with all the noise necessary to the successful
playing of this national pase
time. One of the boys had been in par"
tlcularly hard luck and had only a thin
r dime- left to put up for a future margin
e when he copped a big pot Just then
the submarine alarm sounded. We
i knew we were near the danger zone.
"Hurry up!" shouted one of the play1
ers as we all broke away from our
I places.
i The winner calmly collected the pot.
o "They may shoot me, and I will tell
i. the world so," he announced, "before
e I will leave this 'sugar' for a blooming
* Dutchman to put a torpedo Into. That
would be Just my luck. If It ever rains
s soup I will be caught with a fork."
e It was another drill alarm, so the
e calamltist returned to the game only
i- to be "taken" for his rolL
t "It would have been better for me if
" we had been torpedoed." he said after
!- be had been cleaned.
s And don't think the doughboy is a
piker. Many a time I've seen $1,000 in
0 a single pot
9 Besides craps, the men sang and
- played Black Jack, a favorite card
1 game of campaigners and one in which
they win and lose big. It wasn't long
i before a few of them bad all the monQ
ey. The youngsters wrote letters until
* m ?

' able to handle a gun on account of
" writer's cramp. One young fellow
lldn't slight a girl In the state of Texh
us, and I suppose be told each she was
' the only one. He ought to get lots of
i mail "over there."
9 Because of the breaks in the sleep on
f account of submarine drills and for
e other reasons I am ordered not to discuss
some of the boys slept in the daya
time a good deal. There were not
1 many duties aboard ship, and the offl- <
cers let all bands take it as easy as
e they could. They knew there would be
t plenty to do in France.
k That is why the American soldier is
- fighting for bis captain and not to
t make the world safe for democracy
Q He knows his captain as the fellow
t who looks out for bim. I speak of the
t. regular, the neat, soldierly looking fele
low you can always tell from a guardsQ
mac, when I say this. And I don't
>f mean that as a reflection. Soldiering is
o the regular's business.
In the daytime I saw little or my
> husband, but with the aid of Cupid
it Private Smlthers I sneaked up to his
d berth often at night. He still Insisted
n he would report me. The old timers
y who knew me covered me up, and all
e the iQen were very decent. Wheue_ver
9 t
an" officer came along they would fliid
an excuse to gather around me, and
they did very little swearing. If a fellow
forgot and cut loose he got a ciill
from somebody. The loyalty of the:>e
boys I had known on the border
pleased me very much and flattered me
a little, I guess.
My headquarters were the kitchen,
where I was rated as one of the cooks
and did my share. Here they called me
"Silent Joe" because I talked so little
?afraid my voice would betray me.
Glad that they gave me this reputation.
I was ready to live up to it
Fools Husband.
One day I was folding up my blanket
when I saw mv husband comine
down between the tiers of bunks.
"What are you doing there, rookie?"
he demanded. "Don't you know there
Is drill on deck?"
My back had been half turned toward
him. I swung around and tore off my
hat My hair had been clipped short,
but he recognized me and laughed.
The joke was on him.
"You fooled me, kiddle," he said.
"You'd better go up to drilL"
But the best I could do was to help
myself to a good cry on his chest
There was no one who could see us.
He was gentle with me as always, and
I was happy. I had needed that cry
a long time. I think he was a little
proud, too, to know his wife would risk
so much and follow him so far just to
be near him. I enjoyed that moment
I didn't care if all the officers on board
saw me, but none did.
It was easy for me to go through the
simple drills on shipboard, for I was
familiar enough with the army to show
up a lot of the rookies at It Some of
the men who did not know I was
aboard were curious about my shaving.
"When do you get out your razor?"
a youngster asked me one day.
"I don't have to use it except once
- ? a irr? - 1.1
a ween, i answereu. i m a uu ;cu
You go to It every day to look manly."
Once I did try to shave to play my
part. i
Of course there were always the sol- .
dier songs, and we had quite a collec- ,
tion of musical instruments aboard,
manned by amateurs. One doughboy
who had recently returned from service
In Hawaii had brought a ukelele
along, and he went big, for the boys 1
liked those dreamy tunes.
It Is a strange thing about a soldier 1
that he does not sing the stuff written i
for him, but prefers the tear Jerkers ,<
and sentimental biillads. The soldier
songs In France *rill be about back
home and not about beating the boches.
Tet these boys were going to th9
trenches and that hall with a smile and (
a song. If any reformer kicks cm that
crap game he ought to go himself. The
men are gambling their lives. Why not i
their money? ]
The Rookie Who Talked Too Much. 1

served with and seen General Persh'?

than most major generals and gets in
closer contact with his men. Yet they
talked little of him except to show
they had faith in him. He seemed to
be a sort of distant; person who spent
his time in 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." ' J
I was beginning to think I would
see the trenches myself and half hoped 1
so. I knew I wouldn't be scared, and
I felt I was part of the expedition by i
this time. Nothing would have suited ]
me better than to Lave climbed into a
ditch" beside Corporal John Carter, U. ,
S. A. ]( had caught the spirit of the i
crowd and bad half got my husband ,
to consent to let me go along as far
as I could make It I was happy.
Then one morning without any warn- 1
lug a talkative rookie, who bad been I
seasick, but was now better and fresh,
said: J
"Did you hear there Is a woman ;
aboard?" ]
"You don't sayf I answered. "Where
the devil Is she?"
"I don't know. I can't make her,"
he answered. "I've been looking every- '
body over. All the boys on the ship
are talking about it."
"Some men would make better old
maids than women," I replied and
turned on my 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 .
hear sure and begin a search. Had I
come all this way In vain?
CHAPTER IV.
The Jigfi Up!
WHEN a rookie told me all the
boy* were talking about there ]
being a woman on board the
transport I knew things wero getting j
mlehtv shaky for me.
Bookies like nothing better than to 1
crack wise, as the old timers call it, on 1
anything connected with their troop. 1
They have a keener sense for Inside ]
news than ? bird dog lias for a flock of <
prairie chickens. This recruit was a (
specially busy one of the breed. He j
was as pleased oyer the prospect of a ,
new thrill as a Mexican Is over a plate
ei redhot chlli? con carni. It would be
red hot for me, all right, if they found '
me out.
By this time Smithers was proud of <
me as if I was his own private idea.
He used to chuckle an much when an (
officer hove In sight and I stood at attention
and saluted an 1 got away with
It as h? did when th<> "bones" rolled
him ? good pot 1m a crap game. Then,
If h? taw me watching him, he would
try to look Ye.ix severs and growl; ' J
