pinned a
very small
and very
thin gold
medal.
But, light
as it was,
it had
represented
much
abstinence
from
estaminets
and
tobacco-shops,
on the
part of
its
donors.
"Listen,"
the Master
said,
holding
the medal
in front
of the
collie.
"Listen,
while I
read you
the
inscription:
'To Bruce.
From some
of the
boys he
saved from
the
boches.'"Bruce
was
sniffing
the thin
gold
lozenge
interestedly.
The
inscription
meant
nothing to
him.
