FORGOT THE ENEMY'S SHELLS
Young officer, Under Terrific Bonn
bardment, Feared Only Erect OF
Swallowing Cherry Seed,

The enemy was preparing the way
for an infantry dash by pounding
the opposing line to pieces with
their heavy artillery. The lombard
ment was terrific enough to drive one
to madness or flight. But naturally
one stuck. No orders had been given
TO abandon those devastated trenches.
In a more or less bomb-proof shelter
huddled close together were the ma
ior, the regimental surgeon and
couple of company officers-one OF
the latter a mere lad whose epaulets
weren't quite a month old. Natu-
rally the mood of all was somewhat
subdued. But the young lieutenant
kept on eating a lot of cherries that
his striker had brought him that
morning from somewhere behind the
lines.
Then shell hit almost on top o.
: them. There was a binding tasi
and a deafening explosion, the sen
!. sation of an earthquake, splinters o
o wood flew about, the stout timber
i that supported the bOmb-Proo
= shook. swayed and gave way, ioos
y earth came tumbling in, the air wa
: so thick with fumes that one coul
y hardly breathe, nobody quite kne
q whether he were alive or dead. Flo
