eign land" he said to himself in a grim vein
Of pleasantly.
He let his eyes wander up toward the sky
hoping to find something there which would
relieve his mind from the terror of solitude,
from pain and rage-some thought, snatch of
sleep, perhaps dream.
From branch overhead golden leaf drops
slowly through the air. How it futters and
shimmers in the sunlight! 1t falls right on
the mouth Of the wounded man, and from it ex
hales an odor, faint and delicate, yet plainly
perceptive to his excited nerves. of impending
decay.
Something like nausea attacks him. Not

He tried vainly to lift his body.
"No? Well then, must stay here"
Somewhere in the hip there was trouble

arm. So one must wait. But they will advance
again. they will come back and help.
There was rifle fire agan-off to one side.
Single, scattering reports. Oh, to be there
once more! To aim, to fire, to hit the mark
How it recalled his hunting days! And now
he himself the hunted-God be thanked, not
pursued and not trapped, only wounded.
"If / could only lick the inflammation out Of
my wounds as animals do! What is this dane

play with me- The sun mirrors itself in the
faded white poplar leaves. These cast their
rays on me like the little rehectors with which,

and very reassuring.
Yet it was hard to understand why they
didn't stand firnr-why, at least, they didn't
grasp the arms raised peadingly toward them
did not lift the crawling bodies and care for
them. For were they not comrades?
They could run away They were still sound
in limb. But were they not still comrades?
They had not suddenly become enemies of those
with whom they had hitherto fought side by
side and whom they now left lying here, just
at the moment when they most needed asss-
lance, when they were wrthing hepessly in
agony, when, with eyes growing every minute
duller, they saw their own precious blood flow
ing away, without the strength to staunch it?
For a moment the wounded men felt no
longer the pain in their shattered bodies; their
mental suffering was sharper. Only gradually
the idea penetrated their clouded brains. They
can't do anything else; they must go back with

a golden leaf, into the blue, into the void
There-was not that his name?
Kraft, Volunteer Krafft!'
1t was his captain who called.
The sleeper raised himself and made a mo-
ton as if he would give salute. But it was
a failure. And, merciful heaven, the man
whose head ne saw plainly through the black
berry bushes did not look as if he expected
such demonstration of respect. So sallow-
his eyes distended as if he had seen something
horrible.
Once more the call: "KrafftW
But why 80 smothered?
In a loud voice he answered: Here, cap
tain!"
But the other turned around as if In terror.
"Hush Not so loud!" he said
He had not yet seen Kraft. The creepers
which had penetrated the latter's uniform and
into his body must have furnished first rate
cover.
The captain looked anxiously behind him.
Could there be somebody on his trail?
Kraft comprehended now that he ought not
to speak loudly. He grasped some of the black
berry bushes in his hand and rustled them.
Now the captain, who was crawling on all
tours and every now and then stopped to press
his hand to his breast, had caught sight of
the soldier under the brambles Dragging
himself closer, he whispered:
Man you have good hiding place there. |
saw you fall and felt that you must be some
where in the neighborhood What's that you
say? Accused blackberry bushes? You ought
to be glad that you are lying in them"
His face became distorted again.
"Can you ee-there-below there?"
He pointed toward the trench in which the

vanished skirmish line had sought temporary
shelter. and then, after losing fight had re-
treated further to the rear to make connection
with the main body.
"No? You see nothing?"
A ptiful cry came to their ears. As fright
ened women scream-or tortured beasts. So
shrieked nova man.
The volunteer felt as if snake had struck
him-over his heart. He mumbed single
word and the captain nodded.
Again the fearful cry came, this time more
smothered. The two wounded men clenched
their fists. Alas, the shattered breast the
broken hip! Not to be able to help! What
must the torment be when soldier cried out
like that!
What atrocities had they devised this time
the franc-tireurs?
Along with his compassion for tortured
comrade there rose in Robert Krafft's mind
the horror which he had already seen written
in the captains bullying eyes-the horror Of
similar fate.
"They will come back; they will save US yet,
captain
He pointed in the direction in which the
herman troops Hdu ulSdppedIeu. DuS hio
teeth chartered as if with bitter cold. Good
God, he did not himself believe his own words!
This terrible fearl 1t was thousand times
better to be dead, beyond pain, like the COM
rade killed in action for whom only few hours
ago he had felt real sorrow.
What curse had fallen upon them that they
should not fall as brave men ought to fall, but
shuddering with fear of mutiation, tortured
like the poor victim in TIE abandoned trench?
Captain, get in here quickly! Here nobody
can see you, any more than you could see me-"
The captain measured the tangle of creepers
with a doeful look y
Impossible, my good man. 1t is too small
to cover two of us. Stay there, it is sufficient
cover for you
The volunteer felt thankful that he had not
worked his way out of the blackberry brambles
Perhaps he was really in a safe place? Then
his concern for his company commander was
again awakened.

the thick trees, captain" he said.

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poIsons and toxins from
system before putting moro
food into stomach.
Says lnsIde-bathlno makes any.
ono look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This Is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impurl-
ties into the blood. eausing illness
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce Of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be car
ried out of the body. II the waste
material Is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment
to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure Is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass Of real hot water with tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in 1t,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach. liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathins. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with dull, aching head or
have furred tongue. bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach or
constipation are assured of pro-
nounced improvement in both health
and appearance shortly.
