Again the soldier looked him up and down. The officer could hear him panting. The smile came into his blue eyes. The soldier worked his dry throat, but could not speak.

There are two main types of cohesion: grammatical cohesion which is based on structural content, and lexical cohesion which is based on lexical content and background knowledge. A cohesive text is created in many different ways.

 In Cohesion in English, M.A.K. Halliday and Ruqaiya Hasan identify five general categories of cohesive devices that create coherence in texts: reference, ellipsis, substitution, lexical cohesion and conjunction.

This text is created upon grammatical cohesion.

The officer could hear him (reference to the soldier). The smile came into his blue eyes. (anaphoric reference).
