To ride for months at a high rate OF

rightOfway occasionally. the motor
cyclist can take an ordinary pace with
no great strain But it is quite differ
ent when the cObbles are creased by
the oil and slime OF months Of traffic
and weeks OF rain and fog; when a 10
or u inch drop into oily mud waits on
either side Of the narrow roadway;
when every road is crowded with great
motor trucks which claim the road and
take it willingly when orders are-they
always are, apparently-tO travel not at
q leisurely gO-as-you- please. but at the
top speed Of which the battered machine
is capable.
Add to these little difficulties
binding rain, pitch black night, no
lights a few shell-sWept stretches Of

holes, and other disturbing matters, and
there is the picture Of the ordinary life
OF the dispatch rider. Sldeslips and
collisions, broken forks and headers in
to shell holes, are all in the DAYS work
But what the dispatch rider really OBJ
jects to. is being shot at by his own
sentries. This is by no means excep-
tional. for the sentry's challenge is
