job worthy of his own high fame! And the dog's wonderful

condition had done the rest。



Apart from scars and stiffness; Bruce was none the worse for his

year on the battle…front。 He could serve no longer as a dashing

courier。 But his life as a pet was in no way impaired。



〃Here's something that came by the afternoon mail; Bruce;〃 the

Master greeted him; as the collie ranged alongside。 〃It belongs

to you。 Take a look at it。〃



The Master drew from his pocket a leather box; and opened it。 On

the oblong of white satin; within the cover; was pinned a very

small and very thin gold medal。 But; light as it was; it had

represented much abstinence from estaminets and tobacco…shops; on

the part of its donors。



〃Listen;〃 the Master said; holding the medal in front of the

collie。 〃Listen; while I read you the inscription: 'To Bruce。

From some of the boys he saved from the boches。'〃



Bruce was sniffing the thin gold lozenge interestedly。 The

inscription meant nothing to him。 Butstrong and vivid to his

trained nostrilshe scented on the medal the loving finger…

touch of his old friend and admirer; Top Sergeant Mahan。
