Author Description

Excerpt from The Tattler, 1923 The army was camped in the south ern hills of France, and Jimmy was doing sentinel duty. The night was close and oppressive, and the hoarse voices of the frogs came in an never ending chorus to his ears. Suddenly he heard a faint sound in the bush behind him, but not even by the twitching of a. Muscle did he show he had heard it. He seemed always absorbed in contemplation of the sleep ing camp. A thousand pla'ns rushed to his mind, only to be rejected. Oh! How -his head throbbed and his pulses beat. There was a click, a shot rang out and was followed by a struggle in the brush. A body fell to the ground, and then Jimmy fell fainting with an ugly wound in his side. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
