I thought it was just about one of the
finest things I had ever heard of a man
doing, and l want to say right here
that such things as this are typical of
the true British officer. There are men
holding commissions who couldn't do
such a thing as this to save their necks,
but they are the ''pikers'' found In ev-
cry country, temporary gentlemen"
- they are called by the real men who
are obliged to associate with them.
Ny officers generosity did not help
me any, but I appreciated it more than
I can tell. / had orders to take him to
Potijze and to bring him back, and ii
stayed behind and anything happened
to him I would be worse OF than If l
were lying beneath the ruins Of Ypres.
/ explained this to him and said that
I would rather take him. God knows
whether it was true or not, but ] said
II, anyway. While we were talking an
other car passed us, and as my officer
jumped In I resolved to follow the man
who was now ahead Of me.
I noticed as the a passed us that
there were two officers in it. One, q
major, was sitting beside the driver
and the other, a colonel, was in the
back. The car was about 200 yards
ahead of us, and I let him keep about
that much ahead all the way up to the
outskirts Of the city. AS we got nearer
the noise became deafening and the
smoke began to bother us too.
Before one enters the city proper one
must cross q double line OF railroad
tracks. The machine ahead of us had
Just crossed these when a big fifteen
inch shell screamed over and burst just
beside the a in front. From where
we were it looked as If the car and its
occupants must have been wiped off
the face of the earth.
I stopped our a to wait until the
smoke cleared away before going on.
It seemed like hours before we saw
the spot again, but when the smoke
was finally gone you can imagine our
surprise at seeing the car turned com
pletely around and coming toward us.
The chauffeur was gathering speed
all the time, and when he passed us his
car was going at a fairly decent pace.
We had time enough, though, to see
one of the most horrible sights that !
witnessed during the whole time l was
ut the front.
The a itself was in awful condi-
ton. The two rear doors were torn
away, the body was full of Jagged
holes, the front and rear mud guards
and the running board on one side were
torn of and the wind screen had been
swept away. ...

driver, had his head and the whole side

CHAPTER TX.
1he Fate of q Spy.

WE reached E%lverdinghe as quick
Wv ly as W. could and got out
without a scratch, which is
more important than anything else.
We went back along the road until we
came to the turning which leads to the
village of Boesinghe. This village is
on the bank of the canal, but it is a
mighty unhealthy place to visit, as it
is in full view of part of the German
lines. Our plan was to go as close to
the village as we dared and then leave
the a and try to get through on foot.
1t was almost as dangerous as it would
be to go through Ypres, but we figured
that here we would at least have a
fighting chance.
We left the car under some trees
about half q mile from the village and
set out on foot. We hadn't been going
ten minutes when a sentry stopped us
again and informed us that the road
was closed and we would have to go
back. The officer explained things to
him and told him that it was abso-
lutely imperative that we get through
and that this was the only way it
could be done. The sentry said that
he was very sorry, but he had strict
orders from the assistant provost mar
shall and he dared not let us pass.
There was nothing left for us to do
but to turn back.
We went straight to headquarters,
and the officer explained that it was
impossible for us to get through. He
ordered me to report to him the next
morning and we would try again. The
next day they were bombarding just
as heavily, and the city was still burn
ing, SO all I had to do was to stand by
and hold myself in readiness all day
long.
We saw q very exciting incident that
day. There was a big ammunition col
umn near our headquarters, and It was
waiting there, all ready loaded, until
sent for. 1t had been there several
weeks then, and the chaps who belong
ed to It were having the softest time
they ever had in their lives.
About 2 O'Clock In the afternoon I
was standing on Z orner nea this
column when 1 saw nj Of the police
80 MP and speak to Z chap who was
walking around It with 4 notebook In
his hand. They talked for ! few mo-
ments, and then q policeman sauntered
down to where I was standing and
came up and spoke 70 mi.
60 down to the guard ROOM" he said,
.sand have the corporal fall In two men

thing to speak Of. There is no doubt
that on certain occasions both sides
have refused to take any prisoners, but
I would not care to place the RESPONSE
bility of the beginning Of the practice
In any one particular place.
There is no doubt Of the fact that tho
Germans hate and fear the Canadiana
A peculiar thing happened o after
the Canadians so distinguished them
selves. A certain English regiment
received orders to take some trenches
at a given time. The officers Of this
regiment had the men tx their bayo-
nets and stick them " the parapet
Of the trench several minutes before
the attack was to be made. They did
. and kept clashing their bayone<o
one against another and making IN
awful row generally.
When the whistle blew a young sub
altern was the first man owe the para
pet, and he yelled at the top Of his
voice, "Come on, Canadians!"
This got the Germans goat, and our
fellows took three lines Of trenches
without losing a nan All of which
goes to show that the Germans. while
they may hate the Canadians. fear
them also.
There was considerable hand to hand
fighting on the dead ground between
the two lines Of trenches. A bomb
landed in our trench and lay there with
the fuse sputtering. Quick as .
thought a big. burly Welshman picked
it up and threw it back over the para
pet.
It hit q German officer right in tho
small of the back just as it exploded.
OF course it spread him all over the
landscape.
One Of our officers turned to this big
Welshman and shouted: MAN alive, do
you know what you've done? Why,
you deserve the Victoria cross for
that!' To which the Welshman replied
rather sourly: AYE. sir, mebbe so
Anyhow, ia rather have the Victoria
cross than one O those wooden uns!'
Our headquarters were still in Pope
ringlIe. and the German aeroplaIes
continued to visit us every morning.

tack we commenced to advance again
This time there was no denying the,
Canadians. and they went righ,|
through until they had retaken all ths
ground that had been lost. They also
recovered four guns which the Ger.
man had captured.
As nearly as | a tell, It was at this
time that the reports began to fly
around that no prisoners were being
taken. This is an extremely difficult

say. "For Gods sake take this thing
away from me!'
It was horrible beyond description. l
saw that poor fellow a couple OF weeks
later, and he was bad enough to look
at even then. He was walking around
alone all right except that his face was
continually twisting and twitching hor-
ribly. His nerve was completely gone,
and he was discharged almost at once.
For all the shock he had his was q mi
raculous escape.
When we saw that the driver was
being taken care of we started back to
make u attempt to pass through the
burning city.
AS we got nearer the city l seemed to
have lost all feeling Of fear, and in fact
didn't have any feeling at all.
I triedJt to think about what was go
ing to happen to us, for it worried me
that l didn't seem to have a nerve
in my body. I kept telling myself that
l was going to my death and that in a
few minutes I would be lying some
where in those smoking ruins. But 1t
was no use, / didn't a r one way or
the other. Before n comes to the
railway track just outside Ypres there
is a road which branches of to the left
and leads to the village Of Elverdinghe.
Before we came to where this road
branches of the officer spoke.
II think 1t would be worth while try

Elverdinghe," he said, land from there
we would perhaps be able to leave the
car, swim the canal and get through to
Potijze on foot. It will take longer,
of course, but the main thing for us to
do is to get there safely, nc matter If
1t takes a great deal longer. Let us
try that way, anyway"
l was willing to try anything, and 80
we turned or the road and headed for
Elverdinghe. It was only a few kilo-
metres, and we didn't take long getting
there, but when we arrived we found
that we had jumped out of the frying
pan into the fire, for Elverdinghe was
getting it hot and heavy from the Ger
man field batteries.
We rushed into the town, and as we
swung into the village proper we came
very ear having one grand smashup.
A field ambulance was moving out Of
the place, and the road was blocked
by ambulances which were loading up
with wounded. 1 damned on the
brakes and pulled over almost into the
ditch, but the brakes stopped the car
before we got clear in.
A sentry informed NJ that the road
through the village was closed and
that we would have to turn around and
60 back. l tried to back up, but my
two front wheels were stuck away
down in the ditch, and she wouldn't
pull ont under her own power.
I appealed to the driver Of an empty
ambulance to help me, and he quickly
got his towrope around M back axle.
and we came out with the first heave.
I noticed while we were taking the
towrope of that the car was a big six
cylinder American make.
l asked the driver how he liked q
Yankee car, and from the way he re-
piled l knew that he was an American
himself. l asked him where he came
from, and you can imagine my surprise
when he said Boston"
I say him again, and when /
left him he was in one hot little corner
of the map. I hope he gets through all
right.

the vicinity, and we mad to go QaSn1ng
along through the inky blackness at
breakneck pace. 1t was impossible to
g more than a yard or two ahead,
and so 1t was q case of ride like the
dickens and trust to luck. The road
was covered with shell holes, and the
first intimation we would get of the
fact vas when we would feel the mo
torbike drop beneath us and feel our
selves shooting through the air like
amateur s~kyrockets.
We would pick ourselves up, drag
the motorbike out of the hole and, II 1t
would still run jump on it and get
away again. We certainly got some
terrible spills, and there were . good
many who got broken bones and q few
who had their necks and backs broken.
Imagination cannot conceive Of our
utter misery. Everywhere I looked at
Al hours Of the day and night It was
Just nightmare. Most Of the time We
were kept too busy to sleep, and We
would be 10 tired we could hardly
move. The constant din Of the guns Of
III sizes and Of the exploding shells was
enough to drive nearly all OF as insane
Perhaps this little incident will show
what condition our nerves were IN. A

London, June 16. - Banished from the British Isles by the frown of popular disapproval, the God dess Terpslchore was observed sadly winging her way westward early today.
 The British Lion has put his paw down on dancing and the light fam tastic will be tripped no more in these parts until the last Hun hesi- tation has turned into head-long flight.

 The recent wrath aroused by Lord and Lady Curzon, who enter tained dozen guests at an informal dance in their home, has put the fear of the malcontents who write letters to the editors in the hearts ot any who would dance in the future.

MINING NEWS
John C. Outlet of DeaSe Creek Talks of Con- ditions in the Cas- siar Region.

Mir. John G. Outlet of Dease Creek, B. C., arrived Sunday on the Hazel B. II en route to his home in Oklahoma. MT. Outlet has been prospecting in the upper country for the past five years, and is we'll informed concerning present mining developments in that section.
 w eather conditions have fav- ored work on the claims, though the supply of water is limited" he declared, in summing up results obtained this season. On Tibbet's creek Mir. Fenton's hy- draulic experiments are meet ing with success and nine miles farther up. at the mouth ot Dease Creek, Hanneman and Roupe are operating. At McDames' Creek Oscar Anderson Is going ahead with his hydraulic proposition, but the Ula Creek claim, owned by the Mitchell Brothers, is idle this year.
 About seventeen men are em- ployed at Tibbet's, the former property of w. Pike and Lord Beauxclerk. The present owners find the location profitable and are making satisfactory progress this summer.
 Hanneman and Roupe are work ing alone on their claim. purchased from Billy Ryan. The formation is sandy loam containing some coarse gold, which can be taken out with comparative ease. Their method is much like that used in Dawson in the early days. Having accumulated dump carried out from the face of the property during the winter months, they sluice it all summer with water from the Creek dam.
 MT. Outlet thinks that there are plenty of paying propositions in the ! Dease Creek district. The upper country will yet have its day, he afirms.
 In the past, 25,ooo men rushed to the Cassiar country and there is every reason to believe that there is sufficient gold NOW, to warrant investments in the future. At present the white population is small, a hundred whites and per- haps a thousand natives would compromise all the residents at the various posts and stations. Young men are no longer found. those eligible for service having entered the army. This condition retards work and lack of necessary ma- chinery is felt, besides, and at this point Mir. Outlet smiled, we have to contend with the high cost of living.
 But as long as faith in the country's resources is sufficient to keep practical mining men inter- ested and laborers busy we shall continue to regard these difficulties as trifles.'
