MISSION THAT WAS GRUES0ME
Task Of Burying the Dead ls Graph.
icaliy Described in Diary Of
French Lieutenant.

March %. Last night I was detailed
with half my section to bury the dead.
The task was not a pleasant one. but
1t was accomplished without reluctance
or hesitation. Having to do the work
at night made 1t a shade more lugu-
brious. A guide conducted us to a little
thicket all laid bnre by grape-shot. to
the south Of Perthes, and about three
kilometers from the first lines. There
was no moon, and it was very nearly
p%itch-dark. Trench-rockets streaked
the sky here and there, and from the
distance came the crack Of musketry.
Shells were laboring by with the heavy
breathing of wild beasts In q rage.
A little trench was made into a large
n to receive the bodies, and then we
had to set out In search Of them. They
had been lying there for a very long
time. and 1t was only the recent ad.
vance Of our lines that made 1t posi-
BILE to bury them. With some difficulty
we managed to make out these notion
less heaps on the ground. 1t was nee
essary to search the pockets and take
out papers. money. etc. also to unfas-
ten the Identification badges that are
worm on the arm like n bracelet. It
was not an easy thing to do. In this,
also. I was obliged to set the example.
I had to put my gloved hand into the
pockets Of a foul mass that fell to
pieces ut a touch. / found nothing
but a pocketbook and diary. The men
then took courage and overcame their
aversion.
When our task was finished the
abbe.lnHrmIer who had accompanied
US Of his own accord, stepped to the
edge Of the grave and said a blessing.
And that priest, standing out against
the darkness, lifting his voice shove
the noise Of battle In a Inst solemn
duty to those pitiful fragments, was
very hne. Every man Of 10. whether
moved by religious conviction Or not,
felt the solemnlH of the moment. and
knelt to hear tina words Of forgiveness
and Of life.-From q French Lieuten-
ants Diary, 10 the Atlantic.

''That never can be-" she declared

He had risen from the bench and

She struggled to escape. She knew
what was coming and fought to keep
her face from him. With resistless
strength. and yet carefully as a mother
with an obstinate child, he held her
slight body against his breast, relent-
lessly drawing her head closer. Let

ed head from the hollow of his arm.
Drinking In the wine of her frightened
breath, he bent over her in the dark
ness until his pulsing eagerness linked
her warm lips to his own. She had
surrendered to her first kiss.
He spoke. 'The CULTS crossed. Are
YOU SO awfully wretched?'
They sank together down on the
bench. what" she faltered, "will be.
