The ancient Chateau or Castle of Vineennes twelve
miles from Paris is the place where Spies traitors and all
persons convicted of capital military oenses within the
military district of Paris are taken for execution An in
and tragic interest centres about it just The
majority of French military executions not for oenses
committed at the 'front.' have probably taken place at Vim
eennes OF course spies discovered the field Of
action are executed on the spot.
The old Chateau Of Vineennes has been the scene of
many historic tragedies in the past In its stonewaed

However in the of MataHari and other women the

The executions the artillery ground accompanied
with many circumstances that strike into the
traitor. The ground is surrounded by high, close
wooden fence to prevent observation from without at all
times At one end is steep wooded hill into which SOL

ground.
At the base Of the hill three large holes. Into
these stout wooden posts fitted and in the posts

is accommodation for executing three persons time

Dear Friends:

appreciate them. The watch was just
the thing l was needing, for ] was all
the time asking some one what time
of day it was. The tobacco, too, was
appreciated. l don't use it myself, but
gave it to some of the other boys in
the tent, and they were certainly glad
to get it, for you can't imagine what
it means to be without money. and
without money you cannot buy tobacco
in the army.
l have been assigned to the 127th

myself.
When we first came here [ saw sew

we are all separated and very seldom
get to see each other any more. Each
fellow is chosen for the job that he

it did in this case.

Dear Mrs Smith, received the

wonderful to keep up fund such as
you have in Ray. And believe me, us
fellows sure do appreciate the spirit,

an easy matter to have kept you
posted as to my address.

all had to come in.

go to school for various subjects. l

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

Inconsistencies.
On the next day, he came to; far
distant voices sounded in his ears.
Opening his eyes, in the entrance of
the dugout he saw corporal and two
men with fixed bayonets.
The corporal was addressing him:

Curse you and the day you ever joined

ord! It'll be you up against the wall,
and good job too. Get hold of him,
men, and if he makes a break, give him

ardly sneak. Come on, you, move,
we've been looking for you long
enough"
Lloyd, trembling and weakened by
his long fast, tottered out. assisted by
soldier on each side of him.
They took him before the captain,
but could get nothing out of him but:
'For Gods sake, sir, don't have me
shot, don't have me shot!''
The captain, utterly disgusted with
him, sent him under escort to division
headquarters for trial by court-mar-
tial charged with desertion under fire.
They shoot deserters in France.
During his trial, Lloyd sat as one
dazed, and could put nothing forward
in his defense, only an occasional
'sDon't have me shot!'
His sentence was passed: "TO be
shot at 3 :38 o'clock in the morning Of
May 1S, 1916" This meant that he
had only one more day to live.
He did not realize the awfulness Of
his sentence; his brain seemed para
lyzed. He knew nothing of his trip,
under guard, in motor lOrry to the
sandbagged guardroom in the village,
where he was dumped on the floor and
left, while a sentry with fixed bayo-
net paced up and down in front of the
entrance.
Bully beef, water and biscuits were
left beside him for his supper.
The sentry, seeing that he ate moth
ing, came inside and shook him by the
shoulder, saying in kind voice:
"Cheero, Iaddie, better eat some
thing. You'll feel better. Don't give
up hope. You'll be pardoned before
morning. I know the way they run
these things. They're only trying to
scare you, that's all. Come now, that's
a good lad, eat something. It'll make
the world look different to you."
The good-hearted sentry knew he
was lying about the pardon. He knew
nothing short of a miracle could save
the poor lad.
Lloyd listened eagerly to his sentry's
words, and believed them. A look of
hope came into his eyes, and he raven
ously ate the meal beside him.
In about an hours time, the chap
lain came to see him, but Lloyd would
have none of him. He wanted no par
son; he was to be pardoned.
The artillery behind the lines sud
denly opened up with everything they
had. An intense bombardment of the
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

BEAUTIFUL HAIR THICK, NAVY, FREE
 FROM DANDRUFF
DRAW A MOIST CLOTH THROUGH HAIR AND DOUBLE ITS
 BEAUTY AT ONCE
SAVE YOUR HAIR! DANDRuFF DISAPPEARS. AND HAIR STOPS
 COMING OUT

Immediate ?-Yes! Certain?-that's the joy of it. Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as soft, lustrous and beautiful as a young girls after an application of Danderine. Also try this-moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt or excessive oil, and in just few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair. A de- lightful surprise awaits those whose hair has been neglected or is scraggy. faded, dry, brittle or thin. Besides beautifying the hair, Danderine dis solves every particle of dandruff: f: cleanses, purifies and invigorates the scalp, forever stopping itching and falling hair, but what will please you most will be after few weeks ~se. when you see new hair-fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. Its exhilarating, stimulating anI life-pro- ducing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful.
 You can surely have pretty charm ing, tustrous hair, and lots of it, if you will spend a few cents for bottle ot Knowlton's 'Danderine frol any drug store or toilet counter and try it as directed.
