Torn Raymond sprang to his feet

"What Jack says I say!" he cried. "But I double the toll. If Harry
Leroy is dead he leaves a sister. You all saw her here! Well, I'll
get five Huns for her, and that makes ten between Jack and me!"

"Success to you!" cried several.

comrades farewell and started for Paris, whence they were to journey
to the headquarters of General Pershing and his men.





CHAPTER VI

IN PARIS


Attired in their natty uniforms of the La Fayette Escadrille, which
they had not discarded, with the double wings showing that they were
fully qualified pilots and aviators, Jack Parmly and Tom Raymond
attracted no little attention as, several hours after leaving their
places on the battle front, they arrived in Paris. They were to
have a few days rest before joining the newly formed American
aviation section which, as yet, was hardly ready for active work.
