Some people are stepping out Of
midwinter coats and turning their
backs on cold weather to journey
South, and others are just stepping
into them bound for the joys of winter
sports in the frozen North. These are
the firm believers in the tonic of the
cold who have learned how to enjoy
arctic weather. Then there are all
the rest of us who intend to keep
warm and aspire to look smart, what
ever icy blasts may blow our way. We
refuse to be shut in by the weather
and require Of midwinter coats
warmth and smartness. And the de-
mand is answered with coats and 9TH

are as warm and rich as furs..

one kind or another are the mode.

Many demands are made of the lat
est sweaters-they must be coy and
pretty and they must not be bulky to
start with. They must be in line with
the styles and at the same time-if
they are to be succeSSful-they must
have attractive variations and original
touches to give them distinction
Sweaters, as a part of the wardrobe
are as much matter of course as
shoes and stockings and variety is the
spice that flavors them.

CHAPTER XII.

And he slept, though he had not ex-
pected to close his eyes that night.
He slept as soundly as his comrades,
awakening, as was his habit, few
minutes before reveille, with mind
singularly clarified by sleep. He would
ask to parade before his commanding
officer in the morning and state the
facts, leaving the rest to fate.
He was not destined to, for the same
corporal who had put him on duty dur
ing his previous afternoon "off" called
him five minutes before parade.
s'You can leave them buttons, Wes-
ton," he said with grin. "You won't
need to polish 'em where you're going.
The sergeant major wants you at
once"
Mark hurried to the Office, to find the
sergeant major in company with one
of the senior captains; then he remem-
bered that rumors Of the preceding
evening had sent the Major away with
the inspecting General. His interview
must be postponed, then.

CHAPTER XIII.

No word had come of any project of
attack on the morrow morning. In this
the sergeant's prediction had probably
proved false; yet the feeling in the air
of something impending seemed to
have communicated itself to the enc
my's lines.
A wiring party and listening post
party were out from the American
trenches. and Mark was on duty with
three others Of the stretcher bearers
company, ready for call.
A corporal was at the dugout door.
"Stretcher bearersl r. he whispered.
The four men were on their feet

the corporal. you've got to bring him
in. You can see him from this loop

Mark stepped upon the sentry's plat
form and saw, indistinct in the dark
ness, huddled form about halfway
to the German trenches.
Then he heard Kellerman's voice at
his side. .
"a man Of the-th got hit" he said.
"Bring him in, Weston. Make a quick
job Of it. Corporal Baines. you'll take
charge. You two will be ready to take

They flung themselves to the ground,
and proceeded to wriggle forward, I'M

er as noiselessly as possible across
the rough ground. Suddenly the man
with Mark uttered an exclamation.
"What the devils he sent us on this
job for?" he demanded truculently.
"Shut up, you fool! !" whispered the
corporal hoarsely.
''That amt the man. He's been
there these past three days. Dutch

Reluctantly he abandoned the search
and they rejoined the others. The SER
geant, in an ugly mood, ordered them
sharply onward, but could not resist
casting occasional looks back to see If
the missing man was coming. How

His words ended in gurgle. From

part, let the muzzle of the pistol droop,
Mark drew back his hand and struck
upward with all his might.
He felt the burn of the powder as
the discharged bullet sped under his
chin, he heard the startled cry of the
Germans; and then a furious outburst
of machine-gun fire came from the
trenches opposite. Two Very lights
went up, revealing the two struggling
men to the sentries on either side.
Mark saw a powerful man, SER
geant, he thought, with close-cropped
yellow hair and the body of a Her

fought amid hailstorm of bullets.

Mark saluted and went out just as
Hartley appeared at the door. The
sergeant major enlightened Hartley
briefly.
"You must have some pull at head
quarters, Weston" he said. 'D0 you
know Major Kellerman"
"a little, sir" answered Mark grimly.
swell, he seems to know all about
you, and he told the o. G. over the tel
ephone that he must have you. He'll
be your o. G. now for a while, so
things ought to run smoothly for you"
"He's not a doctor, SIR"
"No, but the stretcher bearers aren't
a medical corps; they're attached to
the -th."
Mark hurried away. In the barrack
room, at breakfast, the two were the
subject of mingled jests and congratu-
lations. The stretcher bearers, form
ing, as it were, the last supports of
the infantry, shared with them the
great proportion Of casualties. Keller
mans scheme was perfectly clear to
Mark.
He was in a wretched state Of mind
when the car steamed into the depot
at the end Of the narrow-gauge line.
He descended into city, mushroom
city Of the supply and transportation
department.
A sergeant and corporal, with nine
or ten men of the Stretcher bearers
company, were waiting for the two.
The little troop was returning to the
trenches after five days Of relief at a
rest camp.
"You're the two men from the base
hospital?" asked the sergeant. SAIL

march -
They moved away down a slope and
began to pick their way along the be-
ginning of maze of trenches.
The roar Of guns, which had never
ceased by night or day, and had long
ceased to be noticeable. was louder
now.
Suddenly the sergeant stopped.
'There was ten of you," he said to
the corporal.
"All here" responded the corporal.
The sergeant turned to Mark.
"Where's your mater" he asked.
Mark. who had been Flooding along
under the impression that Hartley was
following, turned round, to find that
he was the last of the party. Hartley
was nowhere to be seen.
The sergeant ran back a few PAGES,
to return breathless and red in the
face. 'sHe's gone, the silly fool!" he
spluttered. "Must have taken the
wrong turn at the bend. Go back and
get him!"
But Hartley was not at the bend.
The sergeant Joined Mark, incredulous.
They scrambled up the bank and
scanned the level road. There was no
pedestrian in sight.
Hes taken the wrong turn some
where" insisted the sergeant. "Come
along with me! We've got to find
him!"
They began doubling back, shout
ing, until they reached the end Of the
trench system. Still Hartley could not
be found.

the sergeant grumbled. Sand I'll break
