We We're talking with some of the
boys who shortly before had served in
the trenches with the first detachment
assigned to the firing line. They told
us of the fighting and the raids and
how young Enright and Hay had met
their death.
But how do you like life in the
trenchesY"
"Oh, not so bad! Gee! You ought
to have seen those beans. 1t was this
way. The cook had just cooked a pot
of beans for supper and had put it on
the edge of the trench to cool. when
along came a German shell and hit it
square. Gee! I guess it must have
rnined beans for an hour and we didn't
have any supper. 1t was great!'-

band came home Mrs, Mcmahon
said she never remembered Mrs
Munson being out on the streets after
Munson himself came back to the
house She didn't know where Nun
son spent his nights.
Matters crept into the testimony to
convince the authorities that Mrs
Munson's condition would have been
greatly alleviated with improved home
conditions. For this reason the peti

The testimony OF the brother show

"You go up" said the crewn prince
eagerly, turning to the countess. I'll
hold your bag, so you can climb"
He caught her handbag from her,
and instantly something snapped in it.
The countess was climbing up the lad
der. Rather diSmayed, Prince Ferdi-
nand William Otto surveyed the bag.
Something had broken, ne feared. And
in another moment he saw what 1t
was. The little watch which was set
in one De of it had slipped away,
leaving a round black hole. His heart
beat a trifle faster.
I'm awfully worried" he called up
to her, as he climbed. I'm afraid I've
broken your bag. Something clicked,
and the watch is gone. 1t is not on
the ground"
1t was we'll for the countess that the
colonel was talking to HedWig. Well
for her, too, that the other officers
were standing behind with their eyes
worshipfully on the princess. The
countess turned gray white.
Don't worry, highness," she said
with stiff lips. "The watch falls back

But long after the tour of the ram

rooms had been visited, with their long
lines of waiting shells, after the
switchboard which controlled the river
mines had been inspected and eX'

looking at the bag later on, saw the
watch in place and drew long breath
of relief.
