The trio formed for q rush. The

even smiled. The next moment he was
pushed to one side, and Captain Elisha
stood at the top of the steps.
"Herep he said sternly. whats all

The three sailors, astonished at this
unexpected addition to their enemies
forces, hesitated. Pearson laid his hand
on the captains arm.

He began descending the ladder,
Whether the sailors were merely too
surprised to resist or because they rec

Not One Came Down.

The day was dull, as. days can be
dull, sometimes only in the trenches.
Suddenly, high up in the sky, sailing
over the lines, was discerned a flock
Of wild geese. In a moment, rifles
were blazing upward from all quar-
ters; even machine guns were requisl-
toned, while away at the other side of
No Mans Land the German, too, was
reused to action. But the flock of
geese sailed on, their long necks out.

falling in undisturbed rhythm. And

A HOT OLD POEM.

The devil sat by a lake of fire, on .
 pile of sulphur kegs; A look of shame was on his face his
 tail between his legs s His head was bowed upon his breast,
 sparks dripping from his eyes, He had sent his resignation to the
 throne up in the skies. "I am down and out,'s the devil said;
 he said it with a sob. There are others that outclass me and
 I want to quit my job. Hell isn't in. it with the land that lies
 along the Rhine; I am old and out of date, and therefore
 I resign. "One Kruppy intuition maker with his
 bloody shot and shell Knows more about damnation than
 any imp of hell. Give my job to. Kaiser Billy or to
 Ferdinand the Czar. Or to Sultan Abdul Hamid or some
 such man of war. 'T hate to leave the dear old place
 the spot love so we'll; But feel I am not up to date h the
 art of running he'll And the devil spat a spurt of flame at
 a birthstone bumblebee, And murmured: I'm outc1assed by
 Hohenzollern devilt-y.
