much time and trouble seeking influence
to be a private as some men have to
obtain a commission. That, to Oolam,
was beyond earthly hope. He gave it
no thought. but his longing to be in kits,
when he saw friends in the
Camerora staggering through the streets
of Inverness, fired him with an intense
fury for those who pretended to be doing
the Kings bidding by holding him back.
He had written stirring appeals to
Lochiel, a veritable power and a man so
high that Oolam, when he saw him pass
from the station to the hotel opposite,
stood erect and still He had not the
right to salute because he was a civilian.

What time?" asked Oolam.
'-Ten or eleven" said the kind DR..
Miller.
Oolam hesitated. and then turned be-
fore he made his exit. thinking that the
iron might not be SO hot tho next day.

his belongings and slept in the hallowed
atmosphere of Killed troops and blasting
buglcs in the depot.

emphatically, and with a smile, by the
surgeon after he had pulled all strings
was enough to make him Sired of life.
Moreover. he had been more or less sar-
casticaIly reminded that he had better
wait till he was twenty-one. True. he
was too youna but so was Jock. but the
latter had lied to get into the Camerons
on that same day and they had believed

could think Of but much TO his disgust

The last words were ELECTED by an ex-
preston Of sorrowful contempt from Jock,

Aboard the Channel boat the two men s
contingent was kept with Lochicl and
his brother There was n bit of breeze
which felled the giant Jock. but it had
no effect on Oolam. The result of this
was not in favor of Jock. he being re-
minded that, after all, big man meant
big belly. Aud when Jock was very. very
pale OOolam compromised by swearing
that he would not torment the big Jock
regarding the effect Of the sea so long
las the giant never mentioned his lack Of
inches
Mainly because the two were known as
bosom companions, despite he disparity
in their size, il was consented that they
should -be in the same company. Oolam

their friends say that it was strangely
ludicrous sight TO see the two chums
marching along together, the same equip

were billeted in place where Jock could
not get comfortable. but Oolam managed

The big man did not answer.
It was n few weeks after their post
training that Jock and Oolam found
themselves in the trenches. Lochiers

first time Oolam found himself tn close

Al The Hohenzollern RcdOubL

You've seen lot for so young a man,
observed O6lam.
"A deal, aye" He then told oolam
how the Camerons took the Hohenzollern
Redoubt and held it for forty-cight hours
against great odds at a time when Ger
man artillery was infinitely superior to
the British. They were relieved by the
English Grenadier Guards. who retook
possession of the lost trenches and finally
they. too, had to give up the redoubt.
Winston Churchill declared that there
vas nothing finer than the conduct of
the Camerons. not even the British at
Balaclava and Badajoz. Jock had seen
this mention and added that in one in
tance out of 500 men who went into
battle only 100 came out unwOunded and
only two of the officers we're unseathed-

The big man puffed on his pipe and
shook his head. "Irs all a matter OF

After that the big Jock told oolam
something of the fighting around Loos
and Festubert, where many fine Scots
were laid low. Oolam listened in awe to
the stories of the devilish Hun. and he
wanted to hug the great Jock when the
big man told of taking twenty boche pris-
oners He gIowed all over at the thought
of the Germans being shocked at the sight
Of the Ladies' from Hell in a bayonet
charge and longed to be in it.
"Tir nan gleann nan BEAM IS nan

Jock agreed to "The Land of the

with a sip from his glass.
