answers roll call, is inspected by his

pany or goes on fatigue according to

Sometimes, while engaged In a
"cootie" hunt, you think. Strange to
say. but II Is n fact, while Tommy is
searching his shirt serious thoughts
come to him. Many time, when per-
forming this operation, I have tried
to figure out the outcome of the war
and what will happen to me.
My thoughts generally ran in this
channel:
VIII | emerge safely from the next
attack? II do will skin through the
following one, and so on? While your
mind Is wandering into the future 1t
Is likely to be rudely brought to earth
by Tommy interrupting with, whats
good for rheumatism"
Then you have something else to
think Of. VIII you come out OF this
war crippled and tied into knots with
rheumatism. caused by the wet and
mud of trenches and dugouts? You
give II up as bad job and generally
saunter over to the nearest estaminet
to drown your moody forebodIngs In a
glass OF sickening French beer or to
try your luck at the always present
game Of "house." You can hear the
sing-song voice Of Tommy droning
out the numbers as he extracts the
little squares OF cardboard from the
bag between his feet.

CHAPTER XIII.
My First Official Bath.

Right behind our rest billet was a
large creek about ten feet deep and
twenty feet across, and II was habit
OF the company To avail themselves of
an opportunity 10 take swim and al
the same time thoroughly wash them
selves and their underwear when on
their own. We were having a spell of
hot weather, and these baths TO us
were a luxury. The TOmmles would
splash around In the water and then
come out and sit in the sun and have
what they termed "shlrt hunt" At
first we tried TO drown the "cooties,"
but they also seemed so enjoy the bath.
one Sunday morning the whole sec
ton was in the creek and we were hav-
ing gay time, when the sergeant ma
Jor appeared on the scene. He came
to the edge OF the creek and ordered /:
Come out of 1t. Get your equipment
on, drill order and fall In for bath
parade. Look lively, my hcarties. You
have only got fifteen minutes" A howl
OF Indignation from the creek greeted
this order, but out we came. DlScl-
pllne Is discipline. We lined up In
front of our billet with rifles aud bay,
onets (why you need rifles and buyo.

quota Of ammunition, and our tin hats.
Each man had piece of soap and n
towel. After an eight-kllo march along

bank of creek. Nailed over the door

Over the TOP.

On my second trip to the trenches
our officer was making his rounds OF
inspection, and we received the cheer
we were TO go over the top and take
the German front-llne trench My heart
turned to lead. Then the officer car
ried on with his instructions. To the
best Of my memory l recall them as
follows: AT eleven wiring party will
go out In front and cut lanes through
our barbed wire for the passage of
troops In the morning. At two o'clock
our artillery will open up with an In
tense bombardment, which will last I'M
til four. Upon the lifting of the bar
rage the first of the three waves will
go over" Then he left. Some of the
Tommies, first getting permission from
the sergeant, went into the machine
gunners' dugout and wrote letters
home, saying thrt in The morning they
were going over the top, and also that
II the letters reached their destination
1t would mean that the writer had been
killed.
These letters were turned over 10

killed Some Of the men made out
their Wills in their pay books, under
the caption, "Will and Last Testa-
ment."

There was Certeis, who as secret
