Grand
prize
for
the
championship
,
one
hundred-meter
sprint
.
'
"
He
had
actually
come
back
to
my
seat
and
pinned
it
on
my
chest
.
"
There
!
Are
you
happy
?
You
value
it
--
or
do
n't
you
?
"
I
was
sore
.
First
that
dirty
crack
about
rich
kids
--
a
typical
sneer
of
those
who
have
n't
got
it
--
and
now
this
farce
.
I
ripped
it
off
and
chucked
it
at
him
.
Mr.
Dubois
had
looked
surprised
.
"
It
does
n't
make
you
happy
?
"
"
You
know
darn
well
I
placed
fourth
!
"
"
Exactly
!
The
prize
for
first
place
is
worthless
to
you
...
because
you
have
n't
earned
it
.
But
you
enjoy
a
modest
satisfaction
in
placing
fourth
;
you
earned
it
.
I
trust
that
some
of
the
somnambulists
here
understood
this
little
morality
play
.
I
fancy
that
the
poet
who
wrote
that
song
meant
to
imply
that
the
best
things
in
life
must
be
purchased
other
than
with
money
--
which
is
true
--
just
as
the
literal
meaning
of
his
words
is
false
.
The
best
things
in
life
are
beyond
money
;
their
price
is
agony
and
sweat
and
devotion
...
and
the
price
demanded
for
the
most
precious
of
all
things
in
life
is
life
itself
--
ultimate
cost
for
perfect
value
.
"
I
mulled
over
things
I
had
heard
Mr.
Dubois
--
Colonel
Dubois
--
say
,
as
well
as
his
extraordinary
letter
,
while
we
went
swinging
back
toward
camp
.
Then
I
stopped
thinking
because
the
band
dropped
back
near
our
position
in
column
and
we
sang
for
a
while
,
a
French
group
--
"
Marseillaise
,
"
of
course
,
and
"
Madelon
"
and
"
Sons
of
Toil
and
Danger
,
"
and
then
"
Legion
Etrangere
"
and
"
Mademoiselle
from
Armentieres
.
"
It
's
nice
to
have
the
band
play
;
it
picks
you
right
up
when
your
tail
is
dragging
the
prairie
.
We
had
n't
had
anything
but
canned
music
at
first
and
that
only
for
parade
and
calls
.
But
the
powers-that-be
had
found
out
early
who
could
play
and
who
could
n't
;
instruments
were
provided
and
a
regimental
band
was
organized
,
all
our
own
--
even
the
director
and
the
drum
major
were
boots
.
It
did
n't
mean
they
got
out
of
anything
.
Oh
no
!
It
just
meant
they
were
allowed
and
encouraged
to
do
it
on
their
own
time
,
practicing
evenings
and
Sundays
and
such
--
and
that
they
got
to
strut
and
countermarch
and
show
off
at
parade
instead
of
being
in
ranks
with
their
platoons
.
A
lot
of
things
that
we
did
were
run
that
way
.
Our
chaplain
,
for
example
,
was
a
boot
.
