The artillery behind the lines sud-

LIoyd's fears came back with a rush,

in and tried to cheer him by talking to
him:

own medicine. Our boys are going over
the top at dawn of the morning to take
their trenches. Well give 'em a taste
of cold steel with their sausages and
beer. You just sit tight now until they
relieve you. I'll have to go now, lad,
as it's nearly time for my relief, and
don't want them to see me a-talkin'
with you. So long laddie, cheero."
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
Lloyd, and, with a sneer, said to him:
Instead of whimpering In that cor
ner, you ought to be saying your pray
ers. It's bally conscripts like you
what's spoilin' our record. We've been
out here nigh onto eighteen months,
and you're the first man to desert his
post. The whole battalion is laughin'
and pokin' fun at d company, bad
luck to you but you won't get another
chance to disgrace US. They'll put
your lights out in the mornin'."
After listening to this TRADE, Lloyd,
in faltering voice, asked: They are
not going to shoot me- are they? Why,
the other sentry said they'd pardon
me. For Gods sake-don't tell me I'm
to be shotI'' and his voice died away in
a sob.
"Of course. they're going to shoot
you. The other sentry was jest a-kid-
6iraf TA-A IL
a-tryin' to cheer some one You amt
got no more chance o. bein' pardoned
than I have of gettin' to be colonel of

When the fact that all hope was
gone finally entered Lloyd's brain, a
calm seemed TO settle over him, and
rising to his knees, with his arms
stretched out to heaven, he prayed, and
all of his soul entered into the prayer.
20, good and merciful God, give me
strength to die like man! Deliver
me from this towards death. Give me
q chance to die like my mates in the
fighting line, TO die fighting for my
country. / ask this of thee"
A peace, hitherto unknown, came to
him, and he crouched and covered no
more. but calmly waited the dawn,
ready TO go to his death. The shells
were bursting all around the guard
room, but he hardly noticed them.
While waiting there, the voice of the
sentry, singing in a low tone, came to
him. He was singing the chorus OF the
popular trench ditty:
want to go home 1 want to go home.
don't want TO so to the trenches no
more.
Where the ''whizzbangs'' and "sausages"
roar galore.
Take me over the sea. where the Aliemand
can't get at me.
oh. my, don't want TO die. I want to go
home.
Lloyd listened to the words with a
strange interest. and wondered what
kind of home he would go to across
the Great Divide. It would be the only
home he had ever known.
Suddenly there came a great rushing
through the air. binding, a deafen-
ing report, and the sandbag walls of
the guardroom toppled over, and then
-blackness.
