CHAPTER v.
Mud, Rats and Shells.

l must have slept for two or three
hours, not the refreshing kind hat re-
suits from clean sheets and soft pil-
lows, but the sleep that comes from
cold, wet and sheer exhaustion.
Suddenly, the earth seemed to shake
and a thunderclap burst in my ears. I
opened my eyes-I was splashed all
over with sticky mud, and men were
picking themselves up from the bottom
of the trench. The parapet on my left
had toppled into the trench, completely
blocking II with a wall of tossed-up
earth. The man on my left lay still. l
rubbed the mud from my face, and an
awful sight met my gaze-his head
was smashed to a pulp, and his steel
helmet was full Of brains and blood.
A German Minnie" (trench mortar)
had exploded In the next traverse. Men
were digging into the soft mass of mud
In a frenzy of haste. Stretcher-bear-
ers came up the trench on the double.
After a few minutes of digging, three
still, muddy forms on s~tretchers were
carried down the communication
trench to the rear. Soon they would
be resting somewhere in France" with
a little wooden cross over their heads.
They had done their bit for king and
country, had died without firing a shot,
but their services were appreciated,
nevertheless.
Later on, l found out their names.
They belonged TO our draft.
/ was dazed and ~motionless. Sud
denly a shovel was pushed into my
hands, and a rough but kindly voice
said:
'Here, my lad, lend a hand clearing
and look out for snipers. One of the
Fritz's is a daisy. and he'll get you If
you're not careful"
Lying on my belly on the bottom of
the trench, l filled sandbags with the
sticky mud, they were dragged to my
rear by the other men, and the work of
rebuilding the parapet was on. The
harder | worked, the better / felt. Al

UNLUCKIEST CITY OF WORLD
6agdad, Where British Are Now Firm
iy Established, Has Been Drenched
In Blood Of Citizens.

Bagdad, where the British are now
firmly established, has well earned it's
reputation of the worlds unluckiest
city, according to q writer In Pear
sons. Not a square inch of the soil
on which it stands but has been soaked
with the blood of its citizens.
When the Mongols, under their ter
rible Chief Hulaga, took the city in
1858, 100000 of it's inhabitants were
put to death. Worse still, Hulaga
ruined the whole system OF irrigation
canals which made Mesopotamia per-
haps the richest country in the world.
thereby destroying the work of 300
generations in as many hours"
In 1893 Timur the Tartar sacked the
city. He killed all its inhabitants,
save only the holy men," and 10000
skulls were piled up in pyramids be-
fore the walls.
The Persians, under Shan Abbas,
captured Bagdad In 1923, after a des-
perate resistance, and in revenge he
ordered 500 of the principal citizens
to be tortured to death In public, the
executions lasting over an entire week.
Three hundred others were executed
by hanging them head downward In
the city's 300 wells, thereby poisoning
the water supply.

sWaaaer Stick BETRAYED.

A discussion, which began with &C.
tual preparedness In America and
which has continued now and again,
here and there, pro and con, was re-
vfved, writes a New York correspond
ent, with the arrest of a fictitious army
officer, who, let 1t be known here, car
ried a swagger stick. The question,
"Why. oh, why, do they carry them?"
was intensified by the fact that one Of
the detectives asserted In English that
had 1t not been for the swagger stick
he would never have suspected the
camoufiage captain. Luck was with
the detectives, and when the prisoner
was taken to police headquarters he
admitted he was not a captain at all,
but a bold, bad young man who had
been telling naughty lies and stealing
automobiles and other knick-knacks
ever since war was declared. However,
he Indignantly asserted that he was IL
legally arrested to begin with, for the
reason that army officers do not wear
swagger sticks right now. He seemed
to think that his arrest shouldn't count,
inasmuch as the detectives we're mis-
taken In their first and mostimportant
clue.

The wisdom of erecting huts on Full
for refuge in case of sudden storms
of nov and rain was proved recently
when a violent fall of sno and hail
burst upon the crest of the sacred
mountain. During two days more than
10000 climbed the mountain and sud-
den arrival of the storm caught sew
eral hundred of them upon the hilltop.
They sought safety In the numerous
refugees. When the storm burst the
police compelled all ex%cursionists to
wait for better weather at Cotemba
and Tarobo. Relief parties were sent
out but were unable TO get through the
drifts. Anxiety was felt for the food
supply, but the Adventures came
down safely. For two days the peo-

cado, owing to the destruction OF the
