strength was at low ebb and his

to help the officer was exhausting him
and his fatigue was SO great that he
had to rest at frequent intervals. Now

query. Besides. it did not particu-

phases were very remote from him
at'that moment. His job was a simple

Presently the officer moved, groan-
ed and sat up. He fixed look on
Tubby Shook and lay down again.

boy. "Just have a drop of this and

AS he spoke he unloosened his
water-bottle from his belt. drew out
the cork, and held 1t to the officers

but when he felt the water trickling
round his lips he drank. Then he
opened his eyes again.

He lay down. utterly exhausted, and
closed his eyes. His wounds-how many
he had got he did not know-were pain

was continually rising to an excruciating

Tubby Snooks had Just passed his nine
teenth year. and had only recently come
out to France and the fighting.
He was using his bayonet In hand

who was twice the size of the cock

for the man who holds a bayonet op-

many a sleepless night the mind is
apt to see things not altogether nor

-. 1t was at the moment when he was
on the point of getting the steel home
that Snooks fell to the street and
passed out of the world of conscious
things. After while he came to. and
found the place deserted. He rose to
his knees and looked down the long
perspective of street where the ma
chine gun bullets were rafting on
the cobbles and the dead were lying
In all sorts of queer attitudes. Not a
living soul was in sight. They had
all disappeared as IT the very ground
had swallowed them. Tubby looked
round him, noticed the cafe, and
crawled into 1t.
The room in which he found himself
was a large apartment. crowded with
stools. chairs, benches and an old
rickety billiard table. All around
these articles of furniture bricks and
tiles were scattered, and lying amid
the rubble was an officer of the Brit
ish army.
Snooks crawled up close to the Off
Ger and looked at him-at the tunic
saturated with blood, at the crown
and stars on the sleeve. and at the
pale and drawn face with the blood
trickling down his forehead.
Poor chap" said Snooks, in q
compassionate voice, and he began to
pull the broken tiles and bricks off
the colonels body. The officer was
not dead. He breathed deeply, stir

Delay in Gas Matter.

At the continued hearing of
the gas rate affecting Lambert
vile and other places held at
Newark on Wednesday, Octob-
er %, additional testimony was
offered, and the company was
granted time to give further
information on their part, the
understanding being that, if
necessary, the DIRECTORS to an
increased rate were to be given
an opportunity to answer, and
when all the evidence is in both
sides are to have the opportun-
ity to file briefs in the case.
Nothing of special import
ance was developed, except that
it appeared that the period of
the year which had been selec-
ted by the company on which
to base their claim for higher
rates included the time Of two
accidents to their plant, and
did not include the portion Of
the year which is supposed to
be most profitable on account of
higher consumption of gas for
domestic purposes. 1t also APP
peared that their claim to have
voluntarily reduced the gas rate
was not substantiated, and it
was claimed that their purchase
of the control of the Lambert
vile plant in particular was up
on a promise on their part to
reduce the rate to $1.50,which
they did not do, and only when
proceedings were commenced
against them did they reduce it
by allowing a 5 per cent dis
count for cash payments on
their SLIGO rate. The question
was also raised as to whether
any further increase of the
rate would not decrease their
profits by a large decrease in
consumption.
