It had been months ginco such an

roll was followed by a discussion In
which quite a number took part, and
this wns followed by a unanimous

The following nrticlo concornlng
Homer and John Rldonour, whosa
homo Is nt Wnllnco, Is taken from tho
soldlor's paper published at Camp

Months of fighting In Franco did
not glvo Homer Rldonour as much n
thrill as that which ho oxperloncod
last Thursday aftornoon In Ward 30,
linse Hospital, when his brothor, John
also an ovorseas wounded man, whom
he had not seen for two years, awoke
htm from a long sleep and poorod
In his faco. Homer wiped his oyes,
blinked and pinched hlmsolf to make
sure It was not all a drenm. Ho wns
staring at his brother, who ho know
had also been wounded but did not
know he had returned to tho United
States. Both boys wiped away tears
as they tried to smilo.
Tho brothors hnd been in civilian
clothes nt their last meeting. Now
they each had overseas sorvico nnd
wound stripes. They both sailed for
Franco ln, April, 1918, and fought at
tho battle of Chateau Thierry, but
neither knov tho othor was there.
They were pntlonts nt Baso Hospitals
at Bordeaux, Franco, nnd still did not
seo each other. Neither know In
which outfit the other wns and had
no communication between each
other while they wero in Frnnco.
Homer reached tho local Baso Hos
pital tho night of Jnnunry 29 at 10
o'clock and the following morning nt
10 o'clock, John arrived hero on
hospital train. Ho was taken to Ward
27 with othors from his train. Cap
tain McCrelght glanced at tho list of
arrivals nnd saw the name of "Rldo
nour." Ho hart seen tho snmo last
nnmo the snmo morning.
"It Is rather odd to havo two Rlde
iiours together,'' said Crtptalh Mr-
freight. John looked at the receiv
ing desk, saw tho uamo of his brothor
Ami their native state, Nebraska, and
lie lost no time In hurrying to Ward
30. Part of tho bedshoet covered his
brother's face, but ho pulled it hack,
awoke lilm nnd tho recognition fol
lowed.
John wns wounded on October 31,
1018, whon a ploco of high explosive
struck him at tho battle of Verdun,
entering his right arm- Homer was
shot through tho abdomen and hip in
tho fighting of Chateau Thierry, July
22, 1918. A machine gun bullet put him
out of action. Homer was taken to
Base Hospital 22, at Bordeaux, while
John became a patient nt Baso Hos
pltal B, Bordeaux.
Homer 'left Bordeaux on Christmas
day for tho United StatOB, whllo John
followed from Bordeaux on Jnnunry 6
John has been sent to tho convales
cent center and expects to bo dis
charged soon. Ho- will return to his
Homo nt Wallace, Nob., whllo Homer
will go to Mellon, Nob., whon he i1'
musterod out of service.
Another brothor was recently di-
charced nt Cninn McArthur, Texas.
