sTILLED THE BATTLE.
A Touch Of Nature That Halted Wars
Carnage For Q Moment.

Carnage For Q Moment.
A day was dawning on a battlefield
In northern France through a fog 80
thick that none could see more than q
few yards from the trenches. In the
night the Germans had drawn back
their lines a little. and the French had
closely advanced. but between the two
positions q lone farmhouse was still
standing. As the sun rose and the fog
cleared and the gunners found their
ranges. heavy guns began to boom and
answer back. Thus began the old, old
wearisome story Of day after day Of
desolation and death.
But suddenly on both sides the firing
ceased, and there fell peculiar dead
stiffness. Midway between the trenches.

there was-no. It must be impossible,
It must be delusion! But. no-there
in the green meadow. crawling on its
hands and knees. was little child, a
mere baby. II appeared perfectly hap
py and contented. and In the sudden
dumbness Of the soldiers the baby's
laugh was heard as 1. clutched at a
dandelion. Not a sound was heard but
that; not shot was fired; scarcely did
q soldier on either side dare breathe.
Suddenly soldier Jumped out Of
German trench and ran to where the
child was crawling. He tenderly took
It up and carried 1t back to shelter
From the trenches Of the French there
came no shots, but there rang along
both lines a mighty cheer.
But soon. alas, the guns were boom
ing again and answering back, and the
towering bit Of meadow was plowed
by shells. for war IL war, and men
must not long yield to plty.--Cbrlstian
