Ten minutes of really hard concen-

A man named Smith In our section
had been detailed as runner" to our
captain and was not present at the
distribution of the mail. Three par
cells and five letters were placed on his
pack so he would receive them on his
return to the dugout.
In about ten minutes man came
from the trench loaded down with
small oblong boxes. Each Tommy, In
Guiding myself, received one. They
were presents from the queen Of Eng

plum pudding, cigarettes, couple Of
cigars, matches and chocolates. Every
soldier in the British army received
one of these boxes on Christmas day.
At last Sailor Bill announced that
Christmas dinner was ready and we
lost no time in getting to our respec-

Smith was the only absentee, and his
parcels and letters, still unopened,
were on his pack. He was now half
hour overdue.

begin, held up his hand and said:

Art to Be Recovered

One of the arts which must be re-
paired after the war is the art of con-
versation. A subcommittee in the min
lstry of reconstruction might look into
1t. 1t will be to small purpose that we
have reclaimed thousands of acres,
achieved the citizenship Of women,
improved the art of cooking and per-
formed many other unexpected feats,
Il the genial reflection of all this, and
indeed the very stimulus to action, Is
dried up or muddy. The link between
cookery and conversation is notorious
and not a freakish one. 1t is the

pleasures. We must talk at meals,
but we need not talk about our food.

better to wait a few minutes more for
Smith,"
We all assented, but In our hearts
we were cursing him for his delay.
Ten minutes passed-flfteen-th
twenty. All eyes were turned in Sailor
Bilrs direction. He answered our looks
with:
$50 to 1t, boys, we can't wait for
Smith. I don't know what's keeping
him, but you know his name is In Or
ders for leave and perhaps he Is so
tickled that he's going to see his wife
and three little nippers in Blighty, that
he's lost his bearings and has run
aground"
We started In and waxed merry for
a few minutes. Then there would be
an uncomfortable pause and all eyes
would be turned in the direction Of
the vacant place.
Uneasiness seemed to prevail.
Suddenly the entrance to the dug
out was darkened and form came
stumbling down. With one accord we
all shouted:
"Come on, Smith, you're missing one
of the best Christmas dinners of your
life."
Our sergeant entered the dugout.
One look at his face was enough. We
knew he was the bearsr Of i'll tidings.
With tears in his eyes and catch in
his voice, he asked:
(which is Smiths pack?" We all
rection of the vacant place. Without
word the sergeant picked up the let
tiers, parcels and pack and started to
leave the dugout.
Sailor Bill could stand 1t no longer,
and just as the sergeant was about to
leave he asked:
"Out with it, sergeant, what's hap
pened?
The sergeant turned around, and In
a choking voice, said:
Boys, Smiths gone west. Some
bloody German sniper got him through
the NAPIER as he was passing that
bashed-in part in Yiddish street"
Sailor Bill calculated:
"Poor old Smith Gone west !" Then
he paused and sobbed out: "My God,
think of his wife and three little nip
pers waiting in Blighty for him TO
come home for the Christmas holi-
days"
I believe that right at that moment a
solemn VOW of vengeance registered
itself In every heart around that fes-
tive circle.
The next day we buried Smith in
little cemetery behind the lines. While
standing around his grave our artillery
suddenly opened up with an intense
bombardment on the German lines,
