perhaps intermixed with little envy,

The door at the end of the ward
opened. A howl came from the cot at
my right, and a gruff Irish voice
shouted:
"Close that damned door. You
bloomin' hospital men have no sinse

shell, and the likes o. youse puts me
in bloody draft. It's good thing we
have a navy; with the likes o. you

A smoker went up from the patients.
Then a Tommy on my left answered
this outburst with:
"Bloody nerve, I call it. Ere e is,

lick the man that says they amt"
Just then, from a corner of the ward,
came the voice of a stretcher bearer :
"Jones, get the M. o. (medical Of

The man holding my hand suddenly
released his grip, and rising to his feet

direction from which the first voice
had come, but the sharp pain in my
shoulder warned me that it was use
less.
In a few seconds the door opened
the corner. I could see the Tommies
around me intently gazing in the di-
rection Of the voices. After a few
minutes the door opened again, then
closed, and Jones came back. looked
up at him and he solemnly nodded.
One more son of Britain had paid
the toll of war.
My unbandaged eye suddenly be-
came cloudy and misty and hot tear
rolled down my cheek.
The door at the other end of the
ward opened ana two Stretcher bear
ers entered, going in the direction OF
the dead man. Pretty soon they left
the ward, carrying a stretcher, on
which was a still form covered with q
blanket. The Irishman on my right
was repeating to himself:
"Poor bloke, poor bloke; he sure
done his bit, and it won't be long be-
fore he'll be pushin' up the daisies
somewhere in France. And before this
war is over, there'll be lots more in the

be brave. addressed Jones:

Jones answered:

The door opened again and two
stretcher bearers entered, carrying a

smell of ether pervaded the ward. We
knew it was a case from the Pictures

lost my prestige.
In a short while the form on the
stretcher began to humble. This
mumbling soon turned to singing; that

with laughter; so was /, as much as
