Again German reinforcements rushed to the attack. The French met them in
the open, beyond the third line German trenches. The fighting was
something terrible; but flushed with victory as they were, there could be
but one ending.
A German bugle sounded a recall; and at almost the same moment the
evening sun settled beyond the distant eastern hills.
The French had won the day!
Hal and Chester looked at each other. Then, even as the entire French
staff broke into a loud cheer, the two lads grasped hands.
"We've won!" said Hal.
"Verdun is saved!" exclaimed Chester.
So there, upon this historic field, we shall take our leave of these two
friends for the time; but we shall renew our acquaintance later, in a
succeeding volume, entitled: "The Boy Allies on the Somme; or, Courage
and Bravery Rewarded."
