Came and closed the high wooden door at my back, shutting off the view of the wounded men. There appeared a little procession, headed by a priest in his robes and two altar-boys. At the heels of these three were six soldiers bearing upon their shoulders a wooden box painted a glaring yellow; and so narrow was the box and so shallow-looking, that on the instant the thought came to me that the poor clay inclosed therein must feel cramped in such scant quarters. Upon the top of the box, at its wid...est, highest point, rested a wreath of red flowers, a clumsy, spraddly wreath from which the red blossoms threatened to shake loose. Even at a distance of some rods I could tell that a man's inexpert fingers must have fashioned it. Upon the shoulders of the bearers the box swayed and jolted. Following it came, first, three uniformed oflScers, two German nurses and two sur- geons from another hospital, as I subse- quently learned; and following them half a company of soldiers bearing their rifles and wearing side arms.
