The same high purpose was in his service that controlled Thaine Aydelot now. "I don't like being at the tail-end of this procession," a big German from the Pennsylvania foundries declared, as he trudged sturdily along under the blazing sun. The courage in his determined face and his huge strength would warrant him a place in the front line anywhere. "Nor I, Schwoebel," Thaine declared.
"I came out with Funston's 'Fighting Twentieth. I'm used to being called back, not tolled along after the rear." "Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K U!" roared Schwoebel in a tremendous bellow. "Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K U!" a Pennsylvania University man named McLearn followed Schwoebel. "Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K U!" went down the whole line of infantry.
He remembered how big Schwoebel, and Tasker, and Binford, Goodrich, and McLearn, with himself and another man whom he recalled afterward as Boehringer, a Kansas man, had clubbed self-respect into a few of them and kicked the other whining cowards from their way.
"Yes, yes, with the William Penn Quakers and the Pennsylvania Dutch," Schwoebel roared, striking McLearn on the shoulder. Men think of many things as the battle breaks, but never do they fight less bravely because they have laughed the moment before. Thaine was in the very front of the battle lines.
He knew that Schwoebel had been grievously wounded and was being taken back to Tien-Tsin with many other brave fellows who had been stricken that day.
