"Swiftly and silently along the moonlit road sped the dispatch-rider. Out of the East he had come, where the battle line runs between blue mountains and the country is quiet and peaceful, and the boys in khaki long for action and think wistfully of Picardy and Flanders. He was a lucky young fellow, this dispatch-rider, and all the boys had told him so."
From Percy K. Fitzhugh, Tom Slade, Motorcycle Despatch Bearer. Illustrated by R. Emmett Owen (Grosset & Dunlap, 1918).
