rigging of the supercargo (quartermas-
ter sergeant snoring), so / was safe.
| set my course due north to the ra-
ton hold, and got my graphing irons
on a cask of milk, and came about on
my Unconventional passage, but
something was amiss with my wheel,
because l ran nose on into him, caught
him on the rail, amidships. Then it
was repel bOarders, and it started to
blow big guns His first shot put out
my starbOard light, and keeled over.
l was in the trough of the sea, but
soon righted, and then it was a stern
chase, with me in the lead. Getting in
to the open Sea, I made port tack
and hove to in this cove with the
milk safely in tow"
Most of us didn't know what he was
talking about, but surmised that he
had got into a mixup with the quarter
master sergeant. This surmise proved
correct.
Just as Bill finished his narration a
loud splash was heard, and Happy's
voice came to us. 1t sounded very far
off:
Help, I'm In the well! Hurry up,
I can't swim! Then few unintelli-
gible words intermixed with blub !!
blub and no more.
We ran to the well and away
down we could hear an awful splash
ing Sailor Bill yelled down. 'Look
out below; stand from under: bucket
coming!" With that he loosed the
windlass. In a few seconds splut-
tering voice from the depths yelled to
u.s. Haul away!'
1t was hard work. hauling him up.
We had raised him about ten feet from
the water, when the handle of the
windlass got loose from our grip, and
down went the bucket and Happy. A
loud splash came to us, and, grabbing
the handle again, we worked like
Trojans. A vOlley of curses came
from that well which would have
shocked Old Nick himself.
When we got Happy safely out, he
was sight worth seeing. He did not

have bad a bloody poor heart and died
that way"
Curly answered: 'It sure is so, be-
cause I got it from leftenant in
Aunted Jerry's section
Jim was still whimpering. This got
on keys nerves; he gave him sharp
cuff Oh the side Of the head. This
was the first time hand had been
raised against Jim since he had joined
us months back. He gave key pite-
GUS look, and sticking his stump of a
tail between his legs disappeared from
the fire bay. Two days later key
made up for that slap, because at the
risk of his life. during an attack, he
raced into No Mans land under heavy
fire and brought in the bleeding body
of Jim.
All afternoon we tried to be as
cheerful as possible, but Our merri-
ment was very artificial. Every laugh
seemed forced and strained. Haunt
ed Jerry had sure put the ''kibosh'
on us.
That night Curly, Happy and were
on watch from ten to twelve, and, be-
lieve ME, we never spent worse two
hours in our lives. There was not a
word spoken among us. / was think
ing of Haunted Jerry, and no doubt
the other two were doing likewise.
A few days later Jerry's brother
was sent back to Blighty, and no
doubt right now is in some insane asy-
lum in Blighty communicating with
Haunted Jerry and his spirits.

Hungry suggested giving it something
TO eat, while key wanted to play on
his Internal jew's-harp, claiming it was

met our approval, and there was a
general scramble for haversacks. All

We were in quandary. 1t was evil
dent that the dog was starving and in
a very weak condition. It's coat was
lacerated all over, probably from the
bites of rats. That stump of tail
kept sending S. o. S. against my mess
tin. Every tap went straight to our
hearts. We would get something to
eat FOR that mutt if we were shot for
it.

was gone about twenty minutes. Dur

bandage and capsule of iodine, We
cleaned the wounds made by the rats

of thanks that that dog gave with it's

Then the billet door opened and Sail
or Bill appeared. He looked like the
wreck of the Hesperus, uniform torn,
covered with dirt and flour, and a
beautiful black eye, but he was smil-
ing, and in his hand he carried the
precious can of milk. We asked no
questions, but opened the can. just as
we were going to pour it out Happy
butted in and said it should be mixed
with water; he ought to know, because
his sister back in Blighty had baby,
and she always mixed water with it's
milk. We could not dispute this evil
dence, so water was demanded. We
would not use the water in our water
bottles, as it was not fresh enough
for our new mate. Happy volunteered
to get some from the well, that is, if
we would promise not to feed his royal
highneSS until he returned. We prom

he was an authority on the feeding of

section were awake and were crowd

tons and admiring our newly found
friend. Sailor Bill took this OppOrtun-

quest of the milk.

One sunny afternoon our guns crew
was sitting on the fire step of front
line trench, just in front of CONNIE
court wood.
Happy Houghton was busily engaged
in rigging up.a fash screen to hide the
fare of our gun, which we were to
mount On the parapet that night.
Sailor Bill was sewing a piece of
khaki cloth over his tin hat, because
the night previous, while on sentry
go, standing in the moonlight, with his
head over the top the rays from the
moon had reflected from his steel he'll
met and a couple of German bullets
had knocked up the dirt within few
feet of his head.
AS was usual with him, Hungry Fox
craft was wrestling with tin of bully
beef, while "Curly'' Wallace was hunt
ing for coolies.

was sitting On the fire-step, his back

bay, picking mud OuC of his harmOnica
with a silver of wood. Jim seemed
happy and contented, not knowing the
fate in store for him. Two days later
poor Jim was killed by a German bull
let and we buried him behind the lines,
placing a little wooden cross at the
head of his grave. After working a
few minutes at the harmOnica, key
would pause, put it to his lips and
blow into it; squeaky, rattly noise
resulting. Then, with deep sigh, he
would resume the picking process.

was signing for the time to come when
once again l would be able to say ''hel-

right hand guarding New York har.
Dor.
Although it was warm and sunny,
the floor of the trench was about three
inches deep in soft, sticky mud.
On my right heard low mutter-
ing and a Splashing in the mud, and
around the traverse, into our firebay,
carrying a box of ammunition on his
shoulder, came the most weird-l0oking
soldier / had ever seen. AS he passed
in front of me he turned his gaze in
nv direction and a cold shiver seemed
to run up and down my spine as L
looked into his eyes. They were I'M
canny; a sort of vacant stare, as if the
owner of them was looking into the
Great Beyond. AS this soldier stag
gered through the 1re-bay, almost bend
ing double under the weight of the
ammunition and passed from view
around the traverse, it seemed to me
as if the Grim Reaper had stalked
through.
Shuddering a little, I instinctiveiy
turned my eyes in the direction OF the
rest of the crew. They were also
staring at the traverse around which
the gloomy-looking soldier had dis
appeared.
My heart sank to zero and l had a
sinking sensation in the region of my
stomach. and on the parados in front
of me, like moving picture on a
screen, flashed cemetery, dotted all
over with little wooden crosses. / felt
queer and uneasy.
Curly Wallace, in low, half-fright-
ened voice, exclaimed:
"Blime me, that was 'Aunted Jerry's
brother, the one who clicked it by the
old lone tree. If you blokes want to
get the creeps you ought to ear i'm
talk. Some o. the fellows claim that
it's unlucky to get i'm started. They
sye that one o. is carers is sure to

chance, I'll go over to is section, which
is occupying the second firebay on our
left, and see if | can get i'm to tell
us about is brother. But, now mind,

per, so don't myke fun of 'im."

Just then Jim started to whimper; :
I guess if the truth were known, we all
felt like whimpering.
Without another word, Jerry's broth
er got up, and, muttering to himself,
passed out Of sight around the trav-
erse. AS he disappeared from view,
Sailor Bill exclaimed:

wHY colds ARE DANGEROUS.

You are often told to beware of a
cold" but why? We will tell you {:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People who con-
tract pneumonia first take cold. The
longer cold hangs on the greater the
danger, especially from the germ dis
eases, as a cold prepares the system
for the reception and development of
the germs of consumption, diphtheria,
scarlet fever and whooping cough. The
quicker you get rid of your cold, the
less the danger of contracting one of
these diseases. Chamberlain Cough
Remedy has a great reputation as
cure for colds and can be depended
upon. 1t is pleasant to take.
