m Deep water.
 The dawn thrust aside nights som. Der curtains while they ate. revealing a sky overcast with slaty clouds. What with her wanderings of the night be fore and the journey through the dark with Roaring Bill, she had absolutely no idea of either direction or locality. The unfolding timber shut off the out look.
 Do you suppose I can get home in time to open school?" she inquired anxiously.
 Roaring Bill smiled. "I don't know" he answered. Tt all depends"
 "You know where you are now, don't your" she asked.
 Mot exactly" he responded. "But I will before long-I hope"
 The ambiguity of his answer did not escape her. She puzzled over 1t while Silk ambled sedately behind the other horses. She hoped that Bill Wagstaff knew where he was going. If he did not-but she refused to entertain the alternative. And she began to watch eagerly for some sign of familiar ground.
 For two hours Roaring Bill trampled through aisles bordered with pine and spruce and fir, through thickets of berry bush, and across limited areas of grassy meadow. Not once did they cross road or trail. Eventually Bill halted at small stream to get drink. tah half past eight.
 Aren't we ever going to get thereT' she called impatiently.
 Pretty soon," he called back, and struck out briskly again.
 Another hour passed. Ahead of her, leading one pack horse and letting the other follow untrammeled, Roaring Bill kept doggedly on, halting for noth- ing, never looking back.
 They crossed a ravine and slanted up a steep hillside. Presently Hazel could look away over an area of wood land undulating like a heavy ground swell at sea. Here and there ridges stood forth boldly above the general roll, and distantly she could descry a white-capped mountain range. They turned the end of thick patch of pine scrub, and Bill pulled up in small opening. From case swinging at his belt he took out pair of field glasses and leisurely surveyed the country.
 "Well?" Hazel interrogated. j. ''Nothing in sight, Is thsre?" Bill said thoughtfully. "If the sun was out now. Funny can't spot that Soda Creek trail"
 Don't you know this country al all" she said gloomily.
 "I thought did" he replied. 'But can't seem to get my bearings te work out correctly. I'm awfully sorry to keep you in such a pickle. But i, can't be helped"
 He took up the lead rope and moved on. They dropped: over the ridge crest and once more into the woods Roaring Bill made his next halt beside a spring, and fell to unlashing thu packs.
 "What are you going to doT Haze asked. +'.'
 "Cook bite, and let the horses graze," he told her. Do you realize that we've been going since daylight It's near noon. Horses have to eat ant rest once in a while, just the same a. human beings" ''''' '>
 The logic of this Hazel could no we'll deny. since she herself was tiret and ravenously hungry. By her watcl 1t was just noon.

to catch ball? Well, the girls team
alongside Of some of these Tommies
would have looked like the winner in
our worlds series. 1t was hard work
keeping their interest up.
Two weeks later we went ,lp info the
front line; then came back again for
another rest. The interest in baseball
was dying out and we were at our wi, s
end. Time passed, and we figured out
that we ought to be hearing from our
appeal, but nothing came. Then, once
again we went into the front line
trench.
The Tommies were very skeptical
and every time baseball was men,
toned they would gaze in our direction
with a sneering look. This completely
got our goats.
One evening we were sitting in a
dugout of the support trench; it was
raining like the mischief, and we were
cold and downhearted. Pretty soon
the rations came up. The ration party
generally brings the rations down into
the dugouts, but the two men carrying
our ''dixie" set it down in the mud Of
the trench and almost "shot the
ehutes" down the entrance to the dug
out. They were breathless with ex-
element. One of them yelled out:
'Yank, there's a timber full Of par

They're all addressed to you,s h En-
pey, and they're from America
Stewart let out shout and l felt
over those poor Tormies. That night
we were to be relieved and go back
to rest billets. We could hardly wait
>for the time.
The next morning was Sunday, and
after church parade we made a mad
rush to the orderly room to get our
mail.
The quartermaster sergeant was
waiting for me, and behind him stood
every officer in the company, trying
to disguise the eypectant look on their
faces. Every eye was turned in the
direction Of heap OF parcels. I
thought the quarter" never would
start. Even the captain could snot
stand it, and giving way to his eager
ness, said: Sergeant, you had bet
ter issue the mail"
Stewart and 1 were all anxiety.
Then, STOPPING down, the sergeant
took up parcel and read off: "Em-
pey, No. $685." and threw it over to
me. / caught it on the fly. The SER
geant kept on reading out ''Empey,"
and parcels came through the air like
a hOmbardment.

tor OF baseball. There was a rea-
son.
Inc readers of the newspaper ap-
pealed to had nobly responded to our
appeal. There were enough gloves
and balls for two teams, and even a
chest protector and mask. The mask
was nm article of great curiosity to all.
Some of them thought it was bomb
protector. Every one in turn tried 1t
on, and every one, upon learning that
the catcher was. to wear the mask,
wanted Immediately to sign up for
the position. Stewart and I could
have been elected to parliament right
there, if these Tommies could have
had their way.
The next afternoon the candidates,
forty in all, and the whole company,
turned out en- masse on the baseball
field, which we had laid out during
our previous stay in rest billets.
From that day on, Stewart and /

Our hopes were dashed; could see

nearly smothered with laughter in
my gas helmet. To the rest, not being
"in the know" it was genuine alarm.
Shortly after the stampede it was dis
covered that the alarm was false, and
rigid investigation Immediately took
place. But the Canadians had left and
our money was safe. 1t certainly would
have gone hard with the culprit had
he been caught. AS it was, our bat
talon got two weeks as extra fatigue
on working and digging parties.
Afterward, was let into the secret.
Stewart had given Stein ten francs to
sound the gas alarm, which, with his
fifteen francs bet on the game, Stein
did not have it in his heart to refuse.
Many time, Stewart, Stein and my
self had quiet little laugh when we
pictured the Canadians stampeding for
their billets.
Then orders were received to take
over new sector. of the line, and base
ball was forgotten. The work in front
of us was to be of the grimmest nature.
Not long after that, in my first going
"over the top" Stewart was killed and
Stein was wounded. was also slight
ly wounded.
Thus ended the career Of the Fusilier
