As they set the stretcher down, Uncle John came over.
"Shall we put him inside ?" asked Mr.Merrick.
"No use, I think," panted the Belgian.
"Where's the doctor ?" asked Ajo.
Kelsey, who had been busy elsewhere, now approached and looked at the soldier on the stretcher.
"The man is dead," he said.

"He doesn't need us now." "Off with him, then!" cried Maurie, and they laid the poor fellow upon the sand and covered him with a cloth.

"Come, then," urged the little chauffeur, excitedly, "lots more out there are still alive.

We get one quick." They left in a run in one direction while Kelsey, who had come to the ambulance for supplies, went another way.

Mr.Merrick looked around for the other two girls.
