my stay in the trenches will be short.
I've had something on my mind since
September, 1914,'and it's been worry

story, and I'll give you my oath that
you're the first one that's ever heard
it from my lips; but I've got to have
your promise that you'll not judge me
too harshly. I've just got TO get 1t
out O. my system
Just then a signing moan could be
heard overhead. 1t was one of our
"nine-point-two" shells aimed in the
direction of Berlin. We both instinc-
lively turned our eyes toward the en-
trance of the dugout and waited for
the burst. Nothing happened.
"Another bloomin' dud," calculated
Atwell. "a few more hundred pounds
gone TO seed" and then again the
gloomy look spread over his counte-
nance. was getting nervous and un-
easy. Trying to hide my fear, ] said:
"For tn love O. Mike, Atwell, crack
a smile. Give US that story of yours, or
else III 60 bughouse. You had better
get it off your chest, because I'm
thinking that Fritz will soon be reply

need no wooden crosses for US, because
our names will appear under the cap

time TO bury our dead. The grub was

Just secuted around. BY nightfall we
were pretty tired, so when VIC came to
a village - wasn't village, either;
just five or six houses clustered
around a church, decided to go into
billets for the night.
"Riding up to the largest house,
which had four-foot stone wall run

at the gate and knocked with the hilt
Of my sword. Pretty soon light ap-
peared at the front door-the house
was on q sort of a knoll, so this door
was in plain view. Then the sweetest
voice I ever heard called out in trem-

coming toward me.

English:
"'You poor English fool! Make love
to me, will you? Goodby, my foolish
sergeant. While you are rotting in

Well, two could play that game.

my head in bcwiderment. In few
minutes the servant returned, and Ad-

him to her and said:

Captured
My Heart

I trembled all over-thought ! saw a
vision. tell you, Yank, she was besuti-

/ TO take in your arms, but won't for
fear Of crushing. No use for me to
try TO describe her, Yank; it's out of
my line; but she captured me, heart
and soul. There I stood like a great
big boob, shaking and suffering. At
last | managed to blurt out a stam-
mering Thank you, miss
"She showed US the way 10 the
stables, and stood in the door holding
the lantern so we could see to unsad-
die. l was fumbling around with the
buckles, but for the life of me couldn't
get that saddle off. One Of the men,
with a wink and broad grin, came
over and helped me. That grin got
my goat, so, on the sly, kicked him
on the shin. He let out an explosive
'damn!' After that damn the silence
was painful. The poor fellow felt like
a fool. l was sorry for him, even
though I could have killed him for his
thoughtlessness. But our embarrass-
ment wss short-lived, because a silvery
laugh came from behind the lantern, a
laugh that was not loud, but it echoed
and re-echoed among the rafters over

a dream. She futtered around the table,

with US, and making us feel at home.
