/ had rather say as little of 1t as pos
sible. 1t was bad to see in the heat
of the fight, but now, in the cold morn
ing. with no scheer or drum-tap or
bugle blare, all the glory had gone out
of it. and it was just one huge butch
er's shop, where poor devils had been
ripped and burst and smashed, as
though we had tried to make a mock
of Gods image. There on the ground
one could read every stage of yester-
days fight, the dead footmen that lay
in squares, and the fringe of dead
horsemen that had charged them, and
above, on the slope. the dead gunners
who lay round their broken pieces. The
Guards column had left streak right
up the field like the trail Of a snail.
were lying heaped upon the red ones.
where that fierce tug had been, before
they took their backward step. n
And the very first thing l saw, when
I got there. was Jim himself. He was
lying on the broad OF his back, his face
turned up toward the sky, and all the
passion and the trouble seemed to
have passed clean away from him, so
that he looked just like the old Jim as
times when we were schoolmates to-
gether. had given cry Of grief at
the sight of him, but when / came
again to look upon his face. and to see
how much happier he looked in death
than could ever have hoped to see
him in life, 1t was hard to mourn for
him. Two French bayonets had passed
through his chest, and he had died In
aa instant and without pain, II one
could believe the smile upon his lips
The major and 1 were raising his
head. In the hope that some flutter Of
life might remain, when I heard we'll
remembered voice at my side, and
there was De Lissac. leaning upon his
elbow. among q litter of dead Guards
men. He had great blue coat muf-
fed round him. and his hat, with the
high red plume. was lying on the
ground beside him. He was very pale
and had dark olotches under his eyes,
but otherwise he was as he had ever
been with the keen. hungry nose, the
wiry mustache and the close-cropped
head. thinning away to badness upon
the top. His eyelids had always
dropped, but now one could hardly see
the CLINT of his eyes from beneath
them.
"Halloo, Jack ~ he cried "T didn't
thought to have seen you here. and
yet might have known 1t, too, when
I saw friend Tim
''It is you that have brought all this
trouble" said l.
''Ta. ta. tai" he cried in his old.
impatient fashion. "It is all arranged
for us. When was in Spain learned
to believe in fate. 1t Is fate which
has sent you here this morning"
This mans blood lies at your door,"
said l, with my hand on poor Jim's
shoulder.
'And mine on his. SO we have paid
our debts" He flung open his mantle
as he spoke, and 1 saw with horror
that great lump Of clotted blood was
hanging out of his side.
"This is my thirteenth and last"
said he. with smile. '"rhey say that
thirteen is an unlucky number. Could
you spare me drink from your flask ?"
The major had some brandy-and-wa-
ter. De Lissac supped 1t up eagerly.
His eyes frightened, and little fieck
Of color came back into each of his
haggard cheeks.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Tally Of Death.

Day was breaking, and the first gray
light had just begun to steal through
the long. thin slits In the walls Of our
barn, when someone shook me hard by
the shoulder. and up jumped. had
the thought in my stupid, sleepy brain
that the cuirassiers were upon us, and
l gripped hold of a halbert that was
leaning against the wall; but then, as
l saw the long lines of sleepers,
remembered where l was, but I can
tell you that / stared when saw that
1t was none other than Major Elliott
that had reused me up. His face was
very grave. and behind him stood two
sergeants. with long slips of paper
and pencils in their hands.
Wake up, laddie."' said the major,
quite In his old, easy fashion. az If we
were back on Corriemuir again.
"Yes, major" l stammered.
II want you to come with me. feel
that owe something to you two lads.
for 1t was 1 that took you from your
homes. Jim Horscroft is missing"
gave start at that, for. what with
the rush and the hunger and the weari-
ness, 1 had never given thought to
my friend since the time he had rushed
at the French Guards with the whole
regiment at his heels.
II am going out to take tally of
our losses" said the major, 'and II you
care to come with me ! shall be very
glad to have you"
So Off we set. the major. the two ser
geants. and I. and, oh! but 1t was a
dreadful. dreadful sight-so much so
that even now, after SO many years.

THE VISIT WITH CLUB NO. I

Dear Social Corner Friends: A week ago today CMay 12) the morning was So 1cautiful and the sunshine So alluring hat although l had thought that l could not afford the time or expense to attend he May meeting of Club No. 1 in Willi- mantle. the thought of seeing smiling 'aces of the Sisters of that club was so snticing that I could not resist the temp

Tho wait at Tafts was not as dreary as . sometimes Is for I borrowed char rom the waiting room and sat cut in the .lorlous sunshine on the sunny side of hc station until the Willmantic car same 1t was such a rarity having such a bright warm sunshiny morning hat ] did not mind so much as usual the ang wait there.

THE SOCIAL CORNER
A Life Spent Worthily Should Be Measured
 By Deeds Not Years

before She sat down two or three seats in front of me and from the very first look that I had of her face when she turned around to see who was in the car I was sure she was a Social Corner ite or ought to be and felt sure that she was going to the meeting of Club No. |, and that I should see her later. When nearing the home of Remember Me she joined me on the car, 1 asked,her if she knew the lady that had so interested me. She said no she had never seen her be- fore but she too, thought that she WAS a Social Cornerite in spirit if not letter. When we reached Willimantic we found that our surmise was correct for she was enquiring the way to the meeting place of Club No, of the Social Corner She said she thought we belonged and she would follow us and find the way. We | found her an agreeable addition to the company as she had the, true Social | Corner personality. The company at the hall was not as large as the beauti- nice day to do the belated house clean 1 full day had predicted but as it was sucf ! ing work at home that accounted for the absence of many that we hoped to see The hostesses were Lonsome Pine, chair. man; Olga, Aunty, No. 1, Birch, Theods and numerous other helpers, so it zoe. ] without saying that the 0lnner was SC attractively arranged that nothing wa, left to be desired.

BE oN5wArcH FOR GOOD

Social Corner Folks. There is much to commend.3in what Jennie has to say regarding consideration for others. There, is much. that, we can all do in the way of guiding our actions. checking bad inclinations and correcting our mis- takes.
 How delightful it would be to be infal- lible If. We might go about our daily duties knowing. that we should never make a mistake; never suffer an. error of judgment, how comparatively easy life would be- But we have this for our com fort-if we do not approach perfection neither does any one else.
 Of course we are not infallible. Equally, of course, we at times do the right thing. But it's a sad comment on human nature when we have to admit that for one cordial appreciation of hard work. one. helpful or constructive crit icism, there are always dozens of the merely faultfinding kind. Why should we fix our eyes on the defects? Why not be on watch for the good instead
 It's all right to be severe with our selves We shall seldom overdo that ten dency But when we look abroad let's temper criticism with mercy. We mas not always quite understand the cir cumstances. Our knowefge of affairs maS not be. all-illuminating. Many centuries ago a blass was pro
 nounced on the one who deigned not tc i sit in the seat of the. scorners. We .oi l today shall find life sweeter if we, too abstain

SOME MORE HELP ON FLOWERS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: What have to say may not help Inexperience very much, but I feel called upon to say it just the same. I find the bulbs dahlias and gladioti give me the most satisfaction for the time I have to spend on them For annuals I use asters, bal sams, zinnias, nasturtiums. four O. clocks. verbenas, sweet peas. 1 use the dwarf nasturitums I usually buy the verbena plants and as it is late, it is better to buy the aster plants. Some times I raise salvias, but the seeds are slow to germinate and it is easier to buy the plants. If you want the Social Cor ner color raise coreopsis,
 The balsams will be more double if transplanted once or twice.
 I have two callas in my window flow CT garden and the rest are geraniums. Some of the sisters have given me al- most all my geraniums. My sweet peas were planted May 10th. but I expect to have some nice blossoms.
