T H E STORY TH U S F A R : The Amvrl- caa troop« arrived io Adano, with M ajor Joppolo. the Am IO< oB cer to «horse. Sergeant Borth was in charge ot »»enti ty. The M ajo r was determined to hold the conBdenre ol the people and to re place their hell stolen by the Nasls. De spite orders Issned hy General M arvin, barring c a ru Irom the city. M ajo r Jop- polo recalled the order, to perm it food and w ater to enter the city. M . Caco- pardo asked permission Irom the M ajo r to see General M arvin and give him In form ation on G erm an troop movements. When he arrived the General refused to listen to him and had Cacopardo tossed out. The general Im m ediately recalled M ajo r Joppolo'» name. CHAPTER X IV " I don’t know whether he has been captured or killed or what. That is the bad p a rt That 1» why I wanted to talk with you. Mister Major. Giorgio and I were going to be married." “Well, what do you want me to do?" “Can you find out for me whether he is a prisoner. Mister Major?” “What do you expect me to do, go through all our prison camps and ask all the men if they are the sweetheart of Tina in Adano?’ “ You must have some lists, don t you?” “That is none of my business. I am civil affairs officer of Adano." “ Please help me. Mister Major. Not knowing is worse than having him dead.” "A hundred people come in my office every day asking me this. I tell you it is none of my business. The war is still going on, can’t you understand that? We have a cam paign to fight. We can't just stop in the middle of battle and open up a question-and-answer service for forlorn lovers.” “Oh don’t. Mister Major, don’t. You had been so nice to me. I thought—” “Is this why you were cordial to me? Is this why you sent your fa ther to invite me to your house? So that I could track down your lov er?” M ajor Joppolo stood up. " I ’m sorry that you have a mistaken idea of how I work. If you have business to do with me. do not in vite me to your home and feed me candy. Come to my office. I will give you equal treatment with all the others.” And he turned and went into the living room, where Captain Purvis was shaping a heart with his two thumbs and forefingers and then pointing first at himself, then at Francesca. " I ’m going home. Captain.” "What for?" "Oh. I ’m fed up with this, I ’m go ing home.” “Well, you'll excuse me if I don’t come. I never thought I ’d ever get anywhere talking with my fingers, but this isn’t bad. See you tomor row, M ajor.” It is very rare for an M P. to drink anything, even vino, to ex cess, but Corporal Chuck Schultz was a rare M .P. His two friends, Bill and Polack, were in the Engi neer Battalion which was working around Adano. They were billeted in the same house with Chuck and some other M.P.'s. Chuck and Bill and Polack did not drink vino in order to savor it on their tongues. They did not drink it to compare it with other wines which they had had on other occa sions. They did not drink it to complement food. They drank it to get drunk. Therefore it was not surprising that on the night when they bought three bottles for three dollars, they began quite early in the evening to tell dirty jokes, then sang some songs, then argued a little, then got restless and decided to go for a walk. Nor was it surprising that the walk was rather noisy. It was really not surprising, either, that when they found that their walk was not taking them anywhere except round and round the same block, they should have decided to go back to their billet. This was not surpris ing, but it was the thing which got them in trouble. If they had stayed in their billet and not gone for a walk, they would have been all right. So would they if they had not gone home to their billet so soon, but had walked until their drunkenness dulled theii vi sion and blurred their keenness. But doing what they did got them in trouble. Here is why: On the way home, Chuck Schultz said: “ Hell of a war.” Polack said: “Smatter, Chuck, you gonna get sick again?” Chuck said: "Oh, no, I feel good. I t ’s jus’ hell of a war.” Polack said: "Prove it.” Bill said, for the ninetieth time that night: "Uno due tre quattro cinque.” Polack said: “ Shup, Bill. Prove it's hell of a war. Chuck.” Chuck said: “M ajor.” Polack said: “M ajor who?” Chuck said: “ You know the fella. Town Hall fella.” Polack said: “ Yeah, I know the one you mean.” Chuck said: "Joppolo, that's fel low.” Polack said: "What about him? What's h« gotta do with it?” Bill said: "Cinque cinque cinque cinque cinque.” Chuck said: "He never gets drunk, never, never gets drunk. But he’s good fella.” Polack said: "Oh, he’s wonderful fella.” # Chuck said: “He’s bes' fella whole invasion.” Polack said: "Oh, he's better'n that. He’s perfec’.” Chuck said: “ No, he aln’ per fect. He don’t drink. But he's good. Oh. he's good's hell. These wops. they think he’s perfect. He's bes’ thing ever happened to this town.” Polack said: "What’s 'at prove? Prove it's hell of a war. Don’t change a subjec’.” Bill said: “ Una due tre una due tre.” Chuck said: “Shut up your count ing. Bill. I ll prove it's hell of a war. It's all ’cause of the M ajor." Polack said: "How's he prove any thing if he don’t drink?” Chuck said: "Here’s how he proves everything. He's bes' thing ever happened to this town, but he's gon na get kicked. Now is that any kind of a war?” Polack said: "Who’s gonna kick him? Show me the stiff who’s gonna kick him." Chuck said: “General Marvin’s gonna kick him. that's who.” Polack said: “Oh, he kicks every body, I don't see nothin' special about that.” Chuck said: “ Yeah, but look. Po lack. here you got a guy who’s best thing ever happened to this town. I mean he unnerstands these people.
