Wee Wait Is Adopted by British
Soldiers.
Little Girl Found In Firing Line Plays
In Safety on Parapet-Sleeps
Peacefully Amid Bursting
Bombs.

London.-The story of how a little
girl, found in the firing line, was adopt.
ed by a British regiment has been
told by a soldier back from the front
to a traveller who relates his expert
ences in the Northampton Daily Echo.
About eight months ago." he said,
the company was trudging along for
the first line of trenches when one of
the men-his name was Philip Impey
found the child in a ditch by the
roadside. No one could go back, and
the soldiers took the girl into the
trench and made her as comfortable
as possible. In few days she had re-
covered from the i'll effects of the vet
and exposure and was running up and
down the trench, the pet of all the off,
GERS and men.
One day a bomb nearly filled in part
of the trench. When the men had re-
covered from the shock the sergeant
major asked a man to go and see that
the child was safe. They had left her
asleep in a snug corner, and there they
found her. still sleeping.
The German trenches were about
$50 yards on, and the level, open space
between the two lines wasn't healthy.
No man who valued his life would 20
there unnecessarily. or recklessly put
his head above the parapet. One morn
ing. to their horror, the men, through
the periscope. saw the child standing
above the trench on the German side.
Cries came from the enemy, but they
were not hostile. The sight of the girl,
little more than an infant, had touched
their sentimental side, and she had
offers of chocolates and invitations to
go and see them.
After that the girl went over the
parapet quite often. She was as safe
in that danger zone as II she had been
behind the lines. No German would
harm her. and once she went close up
to their first line trench"
The eight days trench duty ended,
the little daughter Of the company was
taken back and was not allowed to get
between the lines again. She was
taken charge Of by the company store
keeper, who had children of his own
and was nightly proud of his skill in
dressing and undressing the child and
his strictness about the morning bath.
All the men made q fuss of her, and
she Of them. The boys in khaki are
her playmates and she goes up to
any Tommy with a smile of complete
trust.
A month after she was found the
men thought that she ought to have
