"Five bunks and only four of us," remarked Earl. "I wonder who is going to use the extra bed."
"Don't call that thing a bed," laughed Leon. "I wouldn't insult a bed."
"That's all right," exclaimed Earl. "It looks pretty good to me after the trenches. At any rate I can sleep on anything."
"So can I," agreed Leon quickly. "Don't think I'm complaining. I'd like to know who is going to use the other bunk though."
"Turn around and you'll see," said Dubois.
His three companions followed his bidding and a shout of welcome went up to the newcomer. He limped slightly but there was a grin on his face and he appeared to be very happy.
"Armande!" cried Dubois joyfully. "I am glad to see you."
He rushed up to his comrade and following the French custom, kissed him on both cheeks.
Jacques did the same but Leon and Earl, though they were not less glad to see their friend, contented themselves with welcoming him with a hearty handshake.
"How is your leg?" inquired Jacques solicitously.
