CHAPTER XXI.
A Meeting In the Trenches.

p Meeting In the Trenches.
Charlie Brown had gone, and Cap
tain Montague had ordered his men to
place Guy upon heap of straw, where
he must lie until the doctor came. In
Trench q an atmosphere of sadness
had succeeded the air Of light-hearted
carelessness that Charlie Brown had
found when he arrived there. The
candle still flickered upon the table
round which the poker players had
lately sat. But all thought Of that
frivolous game had vanished from
their minds. It was not that they had
not already seen many Of their men
shot down. But Guy Falconer had
quickly endeared himself to all-offi-
GERS and enlisted men alike. And now
that he had received his billet, in the
German bullet, there was not one soul
in Trench ~ that was not both sobered
and sad.
But they had little time to bestow
upon a contemplation of wars horrors.
Five minutes had scarcely elapsed
after Charlie Browns departure when
sergeant appeared, holding prisoner
by the arm.
It was Streetman- prisoner
And he was far from presenting the
jaunty figure that usually distin-
guished him. His clothing-civilian
clothing-was badly torn, his face was
scratched and dirty, and his right arm
was in a sling. The mans hat was
gone, too.
The sergeant reported to his CAPTAIN
that while on patrol duty he had
caught the fellow skulking around.
HE came from the German lines"
he said.
Captain Montague held the candle to
Streetman's face.
"And in civilians clothes! A snv

MARKING Linen.

A quick and attractive way to mark
sheets, pillow cases, towels and other
flat work for the laundry, so that ugly
indelible ink markings will not be
made, is to place small initial in
cross-stitch, embroidered with dull
blue, on the inside of the hem Or in
the corner Of unmarked towels. This
catches the eye Of the laundry-marker
and prevents the unsightly linked let

JELLY OF FINEST QUALITY
How Deifeacy Should Be Made II One
Would Have It at Its
Best,

The canning-club specialists of the
States Relations service for the north
ern and western states recommend
that the following points be observed
to make certain that jelly will be of
good quality.
After the fruit has been boiled and
the texture broken down it should be
poured into a jelly bag and permitted
to drain for considerable tir1e. Fore
ing the juice from the pulp will cause
cloudy jelly. When the juice has
been collected, place two teaspoonfuls
OF cold unsweetened fruit juice in two
teaspooafuls of grain alcohol and mix
by shaking gently. Allow it to settle
for one-half hour, preferably IN a
glass tumbler. If a jellylike sub.
stance collects in the bottom of the
mixture it Is evidence that pectin is
present and the juice is suitable for
Jelly making. When the test shows
absence Of pectin, the white portion of
orange peel, apples or green citron
melon may be added to the juice to
supply the necessary pectln- Twelve
ounces Of sugar added to a pint OF
juice will make a jelly Of the proper
ffrmness and texture. Jelly is ready
to be poured into the glasses when two
rows Of drops form on the eld of a
paddle or on the edge Of spoon held
sidewise.
