wireless message saying that every eff
fort is to be made tonight to recover
a haversack that was lost this after
noon in No Mans Land"
''It can't be! 1t can't be! Don't you
realize, Schmidt, that If these notes
are genuine all our reckoning has been
wrong, that they're going to attack
GAIA first, not at Beersheba? These
notes refer to all Allenby's conferences
for the past month. I'm certain
they're faxed. Why, look what those
prisoners told us only yesterday! And
their artillery preparation and wire
less activity"
"There are still some papers in the
wallet, sir" said the younger officer.
"Ist mir egal !" rasps the other fierce
~. Then, changing tone: "Gott in
himmel! What have we got here?"
And he reads:
''Dear K: Sorry we must delay
our little shoot as I'm running down
to Cairo for few days rest. Back
November A. Yours, e. Allenby."
Schiller looks slowly from the let
ter to the calendar.
The British offensive was expected
for October %, and here was the Brit
ish COMMUNICATIVE chief going away on
leave!
.Donnerwetter proclaims the Ger
man. "If this isn't becoming Yes,
what is it?"-this to a Junior officer
just entered.
English prisoners taken at El Tug
ger say they were warned this after
noon about the loss of haversack.
IF anyone found 1t, he was not on any
account to open it, but was to send 1T
direct to headquarters"
Schiller doesn't answer as this fur
Their evidence Of authenticity teens in.
Eagerly, almost feverishly, he re-
turns to the wallet, and takes out its
remaining cortents-a photograph, the
photograph of a woman, written across
in endearing terms, and letter.
Schiller reads the letter avidly, on
and on. 1t tells of the birth of first
born, of little hands and little feet; 1T
rambles on in that tender language
which only,a young mother can make
her own. The letter is crinkled and
has been clearly read and reread a
hundred times; it is letter in mill
lion. It's loss could only be acct
dental.
SO reasoned Schiller!
The division that had been hastily
moved into reserve at Beersheba was
as hastily moved back to GAIA.
On October % we attacked the
weakened Turkish position at Beer
sheba and, as all the world knows, car
ried everything before us.
And the letter concerning the first
born-the letter that saved hundreds,
possibly thousands, of British lives
and went far to giving us Jerusalem,
and ultimately whole country?
Has the little hospital nurse at Ell
Arish, with the girlish handwriting,
forgotten all about it?

SHEEP AS SOURCE OF PROFIT
Close Grazing Animals Will Thrive on
Short Grass and Rough Land.
Worthy of Trial.

Sheep would be a source of profit
on many farms where they have not
been given attention. They are close
grazing animals and as such will
thrive on short grass and rough land
where other animals would find it diff
ficult to live. Why not get a few
sheep and give them chance on your
farm?

The Athabasca river of British North
America has two important salt
branches, one of which rises in nat
ural salt spring and the other has it's
source in the Cariboo mountains,
which contain vast deposits of salt
rock. Another salt river, having its
origin in a similar formation. is one
of the tributaries of the Great Slave

the Turk and ourselves at this desert
end of the line was sometimes as great
as eight miles. and frequently mount
ed reconnaissance patrols were neces-
sary- the more SO at this particular
juncture in that Allenby's push for
Jerusalem was due to start from day
to day.
Followed by an orderly, the staff
officer rode about for some little time,
now consulting his leather-encased
map, now scanning with feld-glasses
the unending camel scrub and sand.
Suddenly-zip, zip, zip !-several rife
shots rang out, and the officer half fell
from his horse, then recovering him.
self, headed about. The couple had
apparently ridden right on to Turk
ish post, and the orderly needed no
second word OF command as to the
direction in which he was now to pro-
coed.
Before following him, however, the
staff officer swung round two or three
times in an effort to recover his haver-
sack, which had dropped to the ground
rs he had tilted over when hit. But
the Turkish fire was becoming more
rapid, and he apparently was getting
weaker. Finally, the haversack had
to be left there on the sand under
the noses of the Turks.
In the course of the evening a
GRO. something in this style was cir
culated throughout the three corps in
line:
"URGENT-While on reconnaissance
patrol in No Mans Land this after
noon, about 81 d 4, 3, a staff officer
lost haversack. If found, the hayer-
sack is to be returned forthwith to
general headquarters without being
opened or it's contents examined in
any way"
Later an enciphered wireless mess
age added:
Determined efforts are to be made
tonight by troops in the sector in
volved to recover the lost haversack
mentioned in G. r. o. No. 102."
That night the writer messed at a
corps headquarters and was greeted
somewhat AFTER THIS FASHION: OI,
Lord Here's one Of these CHIC.
wallahs! Nice business this after
noon. Can't go out on patrol with
out giving the whole show away to

ought to be strung up! Prancing

If that was so, then it was no
wonder that Freddie kept flashing
his light in the dark. And it was
lucky that he had light, because
like Benjamin Bat himself ne

Unlike Farmer Green, Freddie be-
