Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you NEST will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes- really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with DAN
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time. The effect is amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance Of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
Of it If you will just try little Dan.

CHAPTER XlI-Continued.

NO one man can see all Of an attack,
which may extend over miles of
ground, but during the three weeks
l was in the trenches on the Gallipoli
peninsula we made four grand attacks
and many minor ones, so I know in
general way what they are like. Each
wave is organized like the others.
First come three lines of what you
might call grenadiers, though they are |
not picked for size as the old kings |
grenadiers used to be. They are de-
ployed in skirmish formation, which |
means that every man is three yards |
from the next. They were armed only
with grenades, but, you can take it
from me, that is enough! Behind them
come two lines, also in skirmish for
nation, and armed with machine guns
and grenade rifles. The first men on
the left carry machine guns, then come
three rifle grenadiers, and then anoth-
er machine gun and so on down the
length Of the line. After these come
two lines of riflemen with liked bay
onets.
Then come the trench cleaners, or
moppers-up, as we call them. They
were some gang, believe me. Imagine
team Of rugby players spread out in
two lines-only with hundreds of men
on the team instead Of eleven, and
each man a husky. capable of ham

handed. These fellows were armed
with everything you could think of,
and whole lot more that you could
cot dream about in a nightmare. II

CHAPTER XIII.
Limeys, Anzacs and Poilus.

One night, while we were expecting |
an attack, the word was passed down |
the line to have the wire cutters ready |
and to use hayonets only for the first
part of the attack, for we were to try
and take the first enemy trench by
surprise. The first trench was only
about eighty yards away. Our big guns
opened up and at zero we climbed out
and followed the curtain of fire too
closely, it seemed to me.
But the barrage stopped too soon,
as it does sometimes, and there were
plenty of Turks left. We We're half
way across when they saw us. and
| they began banging away at us very
hard. They pounded at us as we came
on until we were given the order to
retire, almost as we wers on them
what was left Of us.
AS we turned and started back the
Turks rushed out to coursser-attack us,
the first of them busy with bombs.
Then I tripped over s.mething and
rolled around a while and then saw
it was Philippe Pierre. His left leg
was dangling, cloth and flesh and all
shot away and the leg hanging to the
rest of him by shred. Two or three
of our men who were on their way
back to our trenches tsipped over me
as l tried to get up, 2nd then a shell
exploded near by and I thought had
got it sure. but it vas only the rocks
thrown up by the explosion.
Finally I was sl1e to stand up. Sc
I slung my rifle over one shoulder
and got Philippe Pierre up on the
