They wasted little conversation on the stag. It was much more exciting to exhibit letters on blue-lined paper with the red emblem at the top. Chuck's last letter had contained the news of his sergeancy. Angie Hatton, home from the East, was writing letters, too. Everyone in Chippewa knew that. She wrote on that new art paper with the gnawed-looking edges and stiff as a newly laundered cuff.

But my name will go on living and you'll wear my clothes back to civilization and tell McDowell how you got your man and how he died up here with a frosted lung. As proof of it you'll lug your own clothes down in a bundle along with any other little identifying things you may have, and there's a sergeancy waiting. McDowell promised it to you if you got your man. Understand?
"I still owe the Service a month or so before my term expires, don't I? After that yes I believe I shall reenlist." "Good!" approved the Inspector. "I'll have you a sergeancy within a month.

Then he spoke to Walker. "There is no doubt in your mind that I hold a sergeancy in the service, is there, Walker?" he asked. His tone was no longer one of comradeship. In it there was the ring of authority. Walker was quick to understand. "None, sir!" "And you are familiar with our laws governing insubordination and conduct unbecoming an officer of the service?" Walker nodded.
At first Jimmy thought they were the perpetrators of the deed, but almost immediately he recognized one of them as O'Donnell, the erstwhile traffic officer who had been promoted to a detective sergeancy since Jimmy had first met him. "Compton has been murdered," said Jimmy dully. "He is dead." "Put up your hands," snapped O'Donnell for the second time, "and be quick about it!"
For this act Barlow complimented Joyce, and then and there promoted him to an orderly sergeancy in another company. I shall mention Joyce again, when he next appeared with the regiment at Fredericksburg. The fighting was prolonged until late into the evening, and the usual amount of ammunition taken into the battle was exhausted before we left the field.
