Charlie Brown and his escort had
not talked long before Guy Falconer
came out of his abstraction. He raised
his head all at once and looked inquir-
ingly at the civilian. Then he jumped
up and approached Charlie with out
stretched hand.
Il thought / recognized that voicer'
he exclaimed. "Do you remember me,
Charlie Brown?
"Hello, Guy" the delighted Ameri-
can cried. 80 you did come over
to the front, after all? Didn't l say
you would?"
"Yes! came over with the first
batch-bribed the recruiting sergeant!
And here l am! =. But what are
you doing at the front?"
Charlie explained how he had fallen
into the hands of the Germans, how
they had set him free and started him
toward Brussels. But his rebellious
nature had revolted; and having hid
den by day and travelled by night, he
had made straight for the place where
he understood the British to be in
trenched.
Mr.. Brown had scarcely finished his
brief recital when there followed an
ominous whistle, which seemed to
come from over his head. OF in the
distance there was a fash and an ex-
plosion.

"Oh, just one of our shells travelling
somewhere to our friends, the enemy"
the captain informed him.
THAT will probably start their eve

"They needn't hurry on my &C
count" Charlie said.

discussing the war.

"But England was forced into it,
Captain Montague interposed.
"And dare say France and Russia
and Austria all feel they were forced
into 1t, too" Charlie replied. That's
the whole trouble. Each nation be-
lieves honestly that it's in the right,
and in some way suppose ecch OF
them is. I don't know-I'm

told him.
AS they talked, a doctor, accompa-

tered the trench, and, finding that
there was no need for their services
in that quarter, they passed on.
"That's the Red Cross" Captain
Montague explained, noticing the jour.

CHAPTER XXI.
A 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 81 an atmosphere of sadness
had succeeded the air OF light-hearted
carelessness that Charlie Brown had
found when he arrived there. The
candle still fllckered upon the table
round which the poker players had
lately sat. But all thought of that
frivolous game had vanished from
their minds. 1t was not that they had
not already seen many of their men
shot down. But Guy Falconer had
quickly endeared himself to all--ofi-
GERS and enlisted men alike. And now
that he had received his billet, In the
German bullet there was not one soul
in Trench q that was not both sobered
and sad.
But they had little time TO bestow
upon contemplation Of wars horrors
Five minutes had scapcely elapsed
after Charlie Browns departure when
a sergeant appeared, holding a prisoner
by the arm.
It was Streetman-that prisoner.
And he was far from presenting the
jaunty figure that usually distin-
guished him. His ciothing-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 bis captain
that while on patrol duty be had
caught the fellow skulking around.

he said.
Captain Montague held the candle to
streetman's face.

They searched him; but found moth

when Streetman interrupted him.

Fornlnst state Printery.

Forninst state Frtntery.
Hon. Albert E. Hill appeared before
the free textbook commission and
made the statement that In seventeen
states the free book system was in
force in all elementary schools. The
free textbook system in all these
states, Mr.. Hill said, was giving satis-
faction.
He said it would be useless to adopt
free textbook system unless 1t was
made to apply to all the children. He
said any law that required the parents
Of child to appear and swear that
they were paupers and unable to buy
books would be big mistake.
Mr.. Hill opposed the idea Of the
state establishing a great and costly
printing plant for the printing of all
the states work. He said that the
plant at the industrial school might be
enlarged so that great number Of
inmates might learn to be printers and
to print the ordinary work of the
state, but 1t would cost an immense
amount of money to install first-class
printery with all the necessary depart
ments of such an establishment.
Mr.. Eugene Hendon of the state
printing commission, In answer to a
question, said the state had reduced
the states printing bill nearly one-half
in the last year or two, but this saw
ing was not due to the Industrial
school plant, but to the law which re-
quired that printing should be let UNI

close upon his words came another of
those sinister whistles.
That's one Of their shellsi" the
captain continued, meaning the Ger
mans.
At the information Mr.. Brown
promptly ducked and huddled down
upon the bench under the overhang of
the trench.
'You needn't duck, old mani It
wouldn't do you any good" the elder
oficer remarked. Anyway, that
shell was on its way toward one Of
our batteries" he added. pointing to

1t was only a flesh wound. And for
the last twenty hours I've been seek

spot-when your sergeant caught me"

que told him. Still, he was somewhat
impressed by the others glib tale,
and he allowed the captive to proceed
with his story.
'The Germans are to attack tonight
in force at your Trench q, in the hope
of cutting through the British lines,
Streetman continued. "Your only
chance is to bring up every possible
man to protect that trench. Otherwise
we'll be beaten. You see what IL

fellow replied. "Their attack was to
be at midnight"
"Indeed!" the English officer ex.
claimed dryly. "Its past midnight

more doubtful than ever Of the
strangers story.
