Chapter Four
The weeks and the months passed and gradually the raw recruits were whipped into shape, with Sergeant Doan being mainly responsible. Tanks began to arrive and the ex-cavalrymen and the selectees became cogs in the Steel
Cavalry.
Then, when a new shipment ol eighteen light tanks were to be delivered, the Troop Commander ordered Sergeant Doan to take a detail to the railroad spur, and unload them. The stables where the horses retained by the olticers and some of N.C.O.'s were kept were close by the spur and Doan went to pet his mare, Cantigny. He ordered Sergeant Stone to start getting the lashings off to unload the tanks and to fuel up, but not to move them till he returned. Two of the tanks were off the cars and an army tractor was
lowering a third when Doan got w back. Joe Hanson was in the sergeants were back and that driver’s seat of the first tank. Doan was with them. Fueling was just completed and, -show them in," said the Colonel. Doan gave the order to turn over 1 -j^ow, Susie, you’d better go.” No. 1 and take It away. The motor “Please, Colonel!

when smoke began pouring out of it. At the same moment the tank was shifted into high. There was a

“One of ihfjc day* you'll promote yourself a iou! of laruml feiilherr,” ti'anwil Hap ’’We'll go on extending his pass,” said Col. Lawton. "I hope Doan appreciates it, rob ling around in some gin mill!” "That gives me an idea,” said the Colonel and lie sent'fcr three Sergeants hard - bitten men past middle age, and friends of Dooms. He sent them out
with orders tol
pick Doan up and bring him in.
“Boggin' the Colonel's pardon,” said Sergeant Klims, "if, due to circumstances. Hup don’t just see things our way, was . . . was we to employ force?” "No, absolutely Bo force!” said the Colonel in an equivocal tone. "Those are my orders, but — ” with sudden vehement impatience —"bring him in!’’ . . . Washington sent an F.B.I. man to co-operate with the military authorities in running down the saboteurs. He told Col. Lawton that Washington regarded this as a big case — that arresting small fry would only tip the government's
hand.
"They are operating right across the country,” said the F.B.I. agent, "all along our lines of military production. We have reason to think they've moved their headquarters out into this general locality. Their 'Mr. Brains’ may be keeping an eye on things right here
on this post!” . . .
Col. Lawton granted Susie’s request for an interview. She had come to plead for Doan. "Colonel, soon as you catch up with him, I’ll take right over and straighten him out for you! Only don’t let some court-martial throw him right clear out of the army! I don’t think poor old Hap could stand that . . . You see. Hap don’t think too clear sometimes, and now
he's hurt pretty deep.”
The Colonel was still trying to comfort her when Lieut. Col. Seton ■ entered to announce that the three
burst of flame and the machine swung off at an unexpected angle.
Tlie top was thrown open and lerea lrl Hanson and his companion jumped p rese nce
for their lives just ahead of an-
Other burst of flame.
Th# tank rushed on, out of control, pouring flame and smoke. It crashed, full speed, into the stable, passed clear threugh, half demolishing it. A few yards beyond the stable the tank blew up with a terrific explosion, just as the
Colonel’s car drew up.
Sergeant Doan, staring in horror, gave a hoarse cry, "Cantigny!” and ran to the ruins of the stable. Col. Lawton shouted to the men in and about the tanks: "Stay where you are! And don’t turn ! those motors over!" He ordered 1 his adjutant to throw a guard 1 about the tanks. "Those machines have been tampered with! There'll ! be an investigation by Washington. No talk from anybody.” When the Colonel readied the ! stable, Doan, aided by soldiers who bad run up, had cleared away part of the wreckage and was soothing Cantigny while sweat poured down his face. "It’s all right, Cantigny.
Go along, Susie. I promise you that you’ll get your soldier boy back one day, with all his stripes
on.”
At that she left. It was a battered trio that came into Lawton’s ( presence a moment later; their civilian clothes were in ruins; Stone had a black eye; Krims’ nose was all but covered with court plaster, and Dillon, who at first appeared undamaged, spoke with slobbering thickness, due to missing teeth, as he saluted and said. “Well, we brung him back,
sir."
"Yes, and it looks to me as though you three — ” "It was a runaway milk wagon, sir!” said the three Sergeants in
chorus.
Col. Lawton sent Hanson for the veterinary surgeon. By the time
he arrived
i had pinnec
’been raised. The mare could not rise, both her front legs were broken. Doan was still pleading
with her to lie still.
■T’m afraid it doesn't matter, Doan,” said the veterinary. "Cantigny's days of service are over.” He got a big syringe to inject a lethal dose of drug into the horse. „ _ Doan interposed. "Not for Cantigny, thank you. There’s only one good end for an old soldier.” He drew his gun and the vet cried: "Hold on! That’s against regula-
tions these days."
Col. Lawton spoke quietly. “Well
waive regulations in this case. Doan stood up. "Thank you, sir.
He waited expectantly. Col. Lawton turned and left the stable. The others followed. Doan picked the mortal spot in Cantlgny’s fore-
head. He drew his pistol.
1 “Now just try not to look at me
for a minute, old girl . . .’*
The silent group, waiting at a distance, sort of nhivered when a single shot came from the ruined
stable ... ...
It was nearly a week later and Lieut. Col. Seton was reporting to Col. Lawton that this ’"’as the fifth day Sergeant Doan had been
absent without leave.
“Of course he’s not absent without leave,” said the Colonel. "Just go right on extending his pass. "But, Jack, it’s five whole days
“No need to look so grim, Doan,” said the Colonel. "Colonel Seton tells me your pass is more or lese
in order."
"I ain't been on pass.’ Doans
voice was contemptuous.
"Well, there’ll be no charges,” said the Colonel in a friendly voice. 1 "I think I understand what you’ve | been through.” . 1 "You don't understand nothn, said Doan in an ugly voice and
took a step forward.
"Sergeant!’’ warned Col. Lawton! sharply. * • "Yeah, and it ain’t ’Sergeant' no ’more," Do aft continued, dogged and defiant “And it ain’t Private’
Just lay still. You're goin’ to be all right.' You'll only hurt yourself thrashin' around." (

Sooner or later you'll have to take

‘Maybe you didn’t see him hanging around the empty stables with that confounded sick glare In his eyes. Then, Just as soon as they bad his horse underground, and 1 that concrete grave-marker set up. . . Seems to me a couple, of old cavalrymen ought to understand
what tie’s feeling.”
"This Isn’t like you, Jack. This ts an emergency! You'll likely be

grin. "Jfe, / like it!” The three Sergeants took a step closer to
Doan, ready to grab him.
"Doan, don't do this to youri service record!” pleaded Lawton, whereat the three Sergeants ex-
changed nonplussed glances.
"Service don’t mean nothin’ In this Army — just tanks!" continued Doan bitterly. "Well, I ain't standln’ for it. I’m still a yellow-1 legged Cavalryman, even if you've
forgot haw to be one!”
"Hap!” warned Krims hoarsely.
“Shut up!”
Doan wheeled contemptuously upon him. "What for? I’ll bust! out of any guardhouse you put me in . . . And then it won't be on. no pass, and It won't be A.W.O.L. It'll be over the hill for good!" \ "So help me, Hap — ” said Sergeant Stone, starting for him. “Keep away from me, you gasoline cowboys, or this time I'll mark you up right! This Army ain't big, enough to hold me no more — nor that old guy sluin' there!” He glared at the Colonel, then seised; the inkwell from the desk, spatter-
ing ink all over It.
"That's enough!” cried Col. Lawton. ’Tve sat here regardless of) my own duty, trying to save an old soldier.” His voice became grim and vindictive. "Well, whatever your service record has been. Doan, you've used up your last bit of 1 credit with the Army now!” He turned to three bewildered and angry Sergeants who had brought Doan In. “Take this man to the
guardhouse!”
Doom and the Colonel glared at each other across the desk. Rraat tomorrow’s chapter of this comedydrama of Army Ufa. jj
