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 27 an atmosphere of sadness
had succeeded the air Of light-hearted
carelessness that Charlie Brown had
found when he arrived there. The
candle still fickered 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-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 q that was not both sobered
and sad.
But they had little time to bestow
upon contemplation of wars horrors.
Five minutes had scarcely elapsed
after Charlie Browns departure when
sergeant appeared, holding prisoner
by the arm.
1t was Streetman-that prisoner.
@AAA AC was Lax AIOm presenting the
jaunty figure that usually distin-
guished him. His clothing-ciyilian
clothing 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 suy.
eh?' he exclaimed.
mo, no, captain! An Englishman-
a loyal Englishmanw Streetman pro-
tested.
They searched him; but found moth

Hes got some kind of cock-and-
bull story about being wounded and

when Streetman intercepted him.

the daytime, and then at night they
shoot at the same range"
Charlie Brown and his escort had
not talked long before Guy Falconer
| came out of his abstract 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.
''I thought recognized that voice?'
he exclaimed. ''Do you remember me-

''Hello, Guy!' the delighted Ameri-
can cried. $50 you did come over
to the front, after all? Didn't 1 say
you would?'
eyes! I came over with the first
batch-bribed the recruiting sergeant!
And here I am! But what are
you doing at the front?'
Charlie explained how he had fallen
into the hands Of the Germans, how
they lad 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. Off in the
| distance there was a flash and an ex-
plosion.
"What's that?" the American asked.
ooh, just one Of our shells travelling
somewhere to our friends, the enemy"
the captain informed him.
''That will probably start their eve
ming song" Guy remarked.
"They needn't hurry on my ac-
count Charlie said.
For a few minutes they stood there,
discussing the war.
whats it for?" the newspaper man
asked. There's no individual hatred
no great, soul-stirring emotional
crisis behind it ALL"
"But England was forced into it,
Captain Montague interposed.
"And I dare say France and Russia
and Austria all feel they were forced
into it, too" Charlie replied "That's
the whole trouble. Each nation be-
lieves honestly that it's in the right,
and in some way 1 suppose each of
them is. I don't know-I'm
not a big enough man to attempt to
say. And what good is it alI?''
ut Is that militarism shall cease
that never again can there be another
war like this" the English captain
told him.
AS they talked, a doctor, accompa-
MED by two stretcher bearers, en-
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

you've looked at my papers. Don't
they convince you?'
"Papers are easily forged" Monta-
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

he commanded. And, turning to the
sergeant, he ordered him to take the
prisoner to headquarters. "You can

fellow replied. Their attack was to

there has been working for several
days a well known New York sur
geon, who belongs to the American
medical corps and volunteered, his
services for the present battle. Most
of his work has been done among
the German prisoners, who have
come to look upon this big, cheerful
officer as almost superhuman be-
cause OF several remarkable opera
tons he has performed.
The Germans all swear by the
big American" and treat him with
the utmost difference. It fell to the
lot of this surgeon to operate upon
a German who had left the Russian
front only thirty-six hours before
He was among the reinforcements
rushed from the east. 1t took him
"a hours to get into the battle before
Cambria and twelve hours later he
was prisoner in a British clearing
station.
