one thing now. He wanted to
gain the top and see what was
there. Then-well, they could
shoot and shoot and shoot. He
cared not. The information he
might get would help no one. But
this was war!
Jimmy got up and ran. II was
a crazy thing to do. He realized
that, and wondered II he was
crazy. Then he tripped and fell
and was content to lie still again.
He became penitent-more sane.
He heard the tramp of feet and
sensed the presence of humans.
They passed close to him. He
could even hear the men breathe.
1t was a small squad, evidently a
change of guard. The sound of
their marching was sufficient to
cover any noise he hight make,
SO Jimmy started on.
Worming like a snake, keeping
his body tight against the ground,
stopping only when a shaft of
brilliance swept over him, Lieu
tenant Crogan, scout extraordi-
nary, worked his way forward.
For long time he encountered
no entanglements. Finally he
showed his head and shoulders
into thonged wire; rather than
risk rising, he scraped away the
earth and crawled underneath.
1t was the last one. A dark
hump rose before him, and when
he raised his head he could see II
running in both directions, like
long welt, across the hilltop. He
crawled to 1t, touched fresh earth,
and knew that he was before the
trenches No men we're there. He
made sure of 1t. Then he crawled
up to the top of the embankment
and slipped down inside, shelter
ed from the searchlight. He
crawled along the trench eau
tiously. He was in the heart Of
the enemy's stronghold.
The return; it was agony.
Jimmy wanted to run and dance
and sing. He worked carelessly
through the first few yards of
grass. Then a swoop Of the light
brought him to himself and he
went cautiously. Then he laughed
and looked to the east, where the
yellow moon glowed on the hori-
zon.
But the laugh died. To the
left he heard a shot. Then
shout. Then silence. After a mo-
ment he distinguished footsteps
descending the hill hurriedly. He
stool still and reeked cold sweat.
vaguely aware that he had been
acting as though in a dream. The
searchlight riveted itself on n
group of men in uniform. They
were clustered Informally about
some central object, evidently of
engrossing interest.
I'm glad 1t wasn't me-" said
Jimmy, half abound. A sob was In
his voice.

breakfast leaving him in a sod
den, orumpled mass where he had
fallen on the sofa.
did not try to keep quiet,
but opened the windows with
bang as the room was full of the
smell of a liquor-laden breath and
the stencil of dead tobacco. Dick
stirred uneasily and turned him

that he would fall off the sofa,
and l really hoped he would. l
was SO disguised with him that

again. The mere thought of that
man, who seemed total stran-
ger, carressing me, nauseated me.
Some way, getting drunk seems
such a senseless operation. 1
think l can see where the stimu-
lation of glass of wine might
give the world a more roseate
hue, but drinking until one loses
ones memory, ones self-respect,
ones identity, is something l can
not understand.
Perhaps this is one of those
follies which Dick told me about
when we were first maI1ied-One
of those foolish relaxations which
men seem to think they deserve
to make up for the hard grind of
business.

And then smile came to my
lips as l remembered what Annie,
my washerwoman, had said to me
Just few days before about her
husband:
"Shure, Miss Margaret, Il
couldn't be shaming him before
his friends"
Here was doing the same
thing for Dick.
We women all are alike-rich
and poor-those who call them

make no pretense of culture.
