enemy's lines had commenced. The
roar of the guns was deafening
Lloyd's fears came back with a rush,
and he covered on the earthen floor
with his hands over his face.
The sentry, seeing his position. came
in and tried to cheer him by talking to
him:
"Never mind them guns, boy, they
won't hurt you. They are ours. We
are giving the Boches a dose Of their
own medicine. Our boys are going over
the top at dawn of the morning to take
their trenches. Well give 'em taste
Of cold steel with their sAusages and
beer. You just sit tight now until they
relieve you. I'll have to go now, lad
as it's nearly time for my relief, and
don't want them to see me a-talkin'
with you. SO long, laddie, cheero."
With this, the sentry resumed the
pacing of his post. In about ten min
utes' time he was relieved, and a D
company man took his place.
Looking into the guardhouse, the
sentry noticed the covering attitude Of
Lloyd, and, with a sneer, said to him:
"Instead of whimpering in that cor
ner, you ought to be saying your pray
ers. It's bally cOnscripts like you
what's spoilin' our record. We've been
out here nigh onto eighteen months.
and you're the first man to desert his
post. The whole battalion is laughin'
and pOkin' fun at D company, bad
luck to you but you won't get another
chance to disgrace us. They'll put
your lights out in the mornin'."

TIN bell in question In Peter Clark
i Macfarlane's new novel, The
Crack IN the Bell, is Liberty Bell, which
symbolizcs American democracy and free
dom in politics. Philadelphia is the scene
of the story, which Is enough to suggest
that events connected with municipal af-
fairs may have dramatic interest. Ac-
cording to this story there is large and
visible crack in Philadelphia as well as in
the bell which makes its home there.
All sorts of men and women figure in
this stirring story, from policemen to
the aristocratic boss of the city, from
Jewish sidewalk merchants to young girls
IN society. The humble characters are
realistic and convincing, but the cultured
ones are mechanical and unlifelike.
The plot is rather complicated. 4
