Dr. Watson had made him my special charge, "Because he's sandy-haired," the doctor said with a smile that ignored the sudden pain in my face. The name on Hank's card said, "Charles Pierre Henri L'Atour." But that was for France; now, he told me in very halting English, his name was "Hank," for America. Since my French was as bad as his English our conversation lagged. It didn't matter. We understood each other quite well, Hank and I. He was seven, with hair that really was like Bob's and deep-set blue eyes that took in everything. He was scheduled for the Cavell ranch about forty miles out of town.

Bob had had sixty-three missions in Europe. If this news were true he would not. have to go to the South Pacific. That, at least, he would be spared. Going out to the Cavell ranch, Hank sat beside me with his sturdy little legs straight out in front of him. Every once in a while he would say something very fast in French but all I could catch was the word "Pop." He was obviously excited. He tried to tell me something and his cheeks grewT redder and redder. Finally he began bouncing up and down on the seat yell JANUARY RADIO MIRROR ON SALE Wednesday, December 12th Transportation difficulties are still a problem, and we find that it helps lighten the burden if RADIO MIRROR goes on the newsstands each month at a slightly later date.
