CHAPTER VI.

-...... CHaPTER- W.
My next dream in tie order Of sue
cession begins always with the fight
of Lop Ear and myself through the
forest. The Fire Man and Broken
Tooth and the tree Of the tragedy are
gone. Lop Ear and |. in a cautious
panic, are fleeing through the trees.
In my right leg Is burning pain, and
from the flesh, protruding head and
shaft from either side. is an arrow Of
the Fire Man. Not only did the pull
and strain of it pain me severely. but
ii bothered my movements and made
il impossible for me to keep up with
Lop Ear.
At last gave up, crouching in the
secure fork of a tree 1.op Ear went
right on. called to him most plain
lively, remember, and he stopped and
looked back. Then he returned to me,
climbing into the fork and examining
the arrow He tried to pull II out, but
one way the flesh resisted the barbed
head, and the other way 1t resisted the
feathered shaft. Also it hurt grievOus-
ly and l stopped him. .~
For some time we erouched there,
Lop Ear nervous and anxious to be
gone, perpetually and apprehensively
peering this way and that, and myself
whimpering softly and sobbing. Lop
Ear was plainly in funk, and yet his
conduct in remaining by me in spite
of his fear / take as a foreshadowing
of the altruism and comradeship that
have helped make man the mightiest
of the animals.
Once again Lop Ear tried to drag the
arrow through the flesh, and angrily
stopped him. Then he bent down and
began gnawing the shaft of the arrow
with his teeth. AS he did so he held
the arrow firmly in both hands so that
it would not play about in the wound,
and at the same time held on to him.

when we were hungry, drank when
we were thirsty, avoided our carniv-

caves at night and for the rest just
sort of played along through life. We

it for three consecutive days and
nights and no sanitary arrangements
were provided to meet such eondi-
ton So there we were, with but lit
tie to eat and it cold, stale and full OF
sand and grit. No water except that
from the barrel wells and it, bad
enough at best, was now impregnated
with powder from exploding shells
and bloody sand from the dead scat
tered everywhere by exploding shells,
and every one who went out or was
sent out to the wells took nine to one
chances of never getting back. And
SO it went on for three days and
nights with conditions growing hour
ly more and more horrible and unen-
durable; and to make it all the more
terrifying the big shells hammerlng
on the bomb-proof had knocked away
the sand covering it until in one place
it was off to the bare timbers. Every
time large shell struck it, it shook
TO its foundation and there was con-
slant apprehension that it would col
lapse and bury the whole garrison in
Its ruins. The unburied slain were
purifying out in the open parade in
the hot September sun, and again and
again struck by fragments of shells

found out that the enemy intended tt
make the assault at dawn of day or

all preparations for us to leave on the
