see her face bent over his. And it was
dawn.
i. Vague cries rang in his ears, distant
cries, blending, surging, swelling and
dying down, but never ceasing. The
rattle of small-arms was continuous,
and pNnctuated by the loud timbre of
guns.
He was lying amid heap of debris
that had been the village jail. Not far
away he saw the Colonel sitting with
eyes closed, propped up against the
fragments Of a wall, blood-stained
bandage round his head.

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; vet 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 a call.
A corporal was at the dugout door.
"Stretcher bearers!' he whispered.
The four men were on their feet
Immediately, two stretchers ready.
"a man hit between the lines" said
the corporal. "You've got to bring him
in. You can see him from this loop
hole"
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
out your stretcher in case anything
happens" he added to the two others.
The corporal led the way, crouching,
toward the gap in the wires. They
passed two lines, traversed a diagonal
lane, and emerged beyond the third
into the open. The body of the wound
ed man, which had disappeared, came
into light, black patch under the
stars.
"Get DOWN. whispered the corporal.
They flung themselves to the ground,
and proceeded to wriggle forward, I'M
der his directions, pushing the stretch
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.
'aThat amt the man. He's been
there these past three days. Dutch
man he is; every listening post party
knows him. What's the good of bring
ing him in? He amt got no head to
him."

the corporal. THAT'S the man the Ma

They flattened themselves as a
rocket burst into the air above the
German lines.
Then the machine guns burst forth.

raj.
They crawled onward. The huddled
form came into clear view. The body
seemed to be already blending with
the earth, melting into formlessness
and there was no need to wonder
whether this was of q dead or wounded
man.
The corporal swore.

companion. 81 told you so. What's he
sent US here for, the fool?"
His words ended in a gurgle. From
behind the shelter of the corpse leaped
five men. Noiselessly they flung them
selves upon the party of three. Mark
felt pistol at his temple.

ear.
In flash he realized the trap. The

tor, never suspecting resistance on his
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 a hailstorm of bullets.
Suddenly the German uttered chok-

had found him. AS he fell, Mark pre-
