It appears that Collingwood and Marsland were both in love with the same girl, and she preferred Col lingwood though her parents didn't approve of him. Collngwood was gentleman, like a great many more of the rankers in Kit chener's army. He gave Frank letter to this girl and her photograph, and asked Frank to see that she got them if he himself was killed. And killed he was that night through the treachery of Marsand. While they were listening they heard the Germans getting ready for an attack. They crept back to warn their comrades but there was no one to warn. The trench had been evacuat- ed. When Marsland~ sent Frank and Col lingwood out a listening patrol he had an order in his pocket to vacate the trench, as it had been decided to fall back half mile to better position He thought he was sending Collingwood and Frank to their death Coingwood was killed. The Ger mans attacked before he and Frank could get away, but Frank, as you know, was taken prisoner. I was taken prisoner the same day, but at different sector about a mile away. Subsequently Frank and I met as prisoners -and after being tortured by the Germans we got away"
 "And did Frank deliver Collingwood's letter to the girl"
 'No, that is the sad part of it. The Ger mans took all his papers from him and he never saw them again. He did not know the address of the girl or even her name."

 "What makes you suspect Marsland? He had no grudge against Frank. Why should he kill him?"
 "If Marsland didn't kill him, who did?"
 "Any one might have done so. A tramp, for instance, who had broken into the house and was there when Frank came home."
 Do tramps in this country carry revolv- ers?"
 "Not usually. But since the war, many of the men discharged from the army do."
 "There you've said it. Many of the off, ficers who have been discharged carry re- volvers, but not the men. They have got used to doing it. At the front only officers carry revolvers. And Marsland is an officer "a captain. He was captain in the Lon don Rifle brigade, in the battalion to which Frank and I belonged.

 "No, I was waiting for him down the path. After seeing poor Frank felt too frightened to stay in the house."
