Not greatly different from you or I was this boy. He was cast in no heroic mold, nor ever had the current of his life departed from the commonplace. He held a petty clerkship, or some such thing, in a great office. There he toiled, as do you and I, humble, unimpressive, yet ever dreaming dreams. His name was Smith. What name with less magic than that name—Smith ? Smith was an American; thru and thru he was an American, and he loved the things that Americans love. Even as I write, the day is blue and gold on Puget Sound. Such days as this one, Smith loved with all of his heart and with all of his soul. They made him to dream that upon some day such as this the greater things of life would come to him; that wealth, or fame, or happiness, or whatever phantom it is that we chase, would on some such blue and gold day be his. So it is with blue and gold days. Pause for a moment, and consider Smith—humble, unim- pressive, bending over a desk and dreaming of wealth, or fame, or happiness. You see, Smith was like you and me, and, ah, but he loved the days of blue and gold. There came a great war. * * * «¢#e The major whirled abruptly, at the break of dawn. “We've got to hold this village till the division moves up!” he snapped. “And we've got to get that se gun in the ruined farmhouse. Who'll get it?” The corporal spoke to Smith as the little squad skirted the stone fence: “Company C holds the fork in the road. We turn left and cross the open field.” “We can never make it,” said Smith. “Hell! Do you want to live forever?” snarled the corporal. Smith made no answer. They found Company C engaged in a desperate skirmish. The captain lay at the fork in the roads, on his back, his arms extended as the arms of a cross, his sightless eyes staring at the sky. Smith’s squad crossed the open field—all but two, who lie in that field.to this day—and they took the ruined farm- house and the enemy machine gun. Directly a big gun got their range, and soon came the tram-car sound of big shells. One burst close, and the next nearly buried them with dirt. It seemed to Smith that one world could not endure so appalling a sound. From out a nearby wood came a gray line, like a gray snake, writhing, writhing. * * * Smith looked to sec the corporal lying very still. All were down but four. Then something entered the soul of Smith—who had held a petty clerkship in a great office—which never before had been there. Gone were his dreams, gone all but the thought of that gray line, like a gray snake, writhing, writhing. * * * “Send ’em to hell!” screamed Smith, swinging his machine gun. The gray line, like a gray snake, crawled on, writh- ing, writhing * * * closing up as Smith's ma- chine gun barked. Two men of Smith's squad slipped to the floor of the old farmhouse, and then another. The boy at the machine gun with Smith started to speak—and rolled over on his face, his words for all time unspoken, Smith clung to his machine gun. He knew that it was the end—that for him the days of blue and gold were forever gone. * * * Smith’s machine gun jammed. In the swirling chaos he drew his automatic. Gray figures were all about, countless and without cease. With the butt- end of his automatic, Smith clubbed one of the gray figures. to unconsciousness. He whirled to meet an- other and another, and another. He smiled. * * * Suddenly he sensed a savage pain. * * * The smile went from his eyes. * * * The breast of his uniform was crimson. * * * His throat was hot. * * * With blood. * * * He gasped, choking. * * * Smith had thought that there was a battle—at dawn. * * * But this chill hush, * * * This serene thread of light—dimmer, dimmer. * * * He was tired, and he wanted everlasting rest, a trillion years. * * * A trillion, * * * A tril. -* * * A, * * * Silence and dark- ness engulfed him for all the ages. * * * And overhead the day was blue and gold. * * * Nevermore will Smith dream thru days of blue and gold, That you may dream such dreams, he died. And what of you? Does the spirit of Smith, who held a petty clerkship in a great office, live in the hearts of men? Your answer can be in dollars, Nevermore will Smith dream thru days of blue and gold. What of you?
