Tom Slade Motorcycle Dispatch Bearer

CHAPTER SEVEN
3/5

My motorcycle is named _Uncle Sam_.

Did you win yet ?" For answer they laughed and slapped him on the shoulder and repeated, "You're all right, kid!" "Looks as if Snipy must have had his eye on you, huh ?" one of them observed.
"Who's Snipy ?" Tom asked.

"His rifle's named _Tommy_.

"I'd like to see him." "Nobody ever sees him--they _feel_ him," said another.
"He must have been somewhere," said Tom.
"Oh, he was _somewhere_ all right," several laughed.
A couple of the Signal Corps men jumped out of the trench near by and greeted Tom heartily, praising him as the others had done, all of which he took with his usual stolidness.
