"Oh, no you haven't" replied Captain Bob quietly I'm your man. You want me for cowardice. I'll come along, if you are ready"
 Captain Bob faced his superior officer with a crash of heels and then stood at attention, eyes to the front. The gray haired colonel tugged his stubby moustache and glowered, just as he had done a thousand times before, at this lad whom he long had known and loved
 Dammit all, man, don't stand there like an Egyptian mummy" growled the old chap. Sit down and try to look intelligent. Whats all this anyway? Whats it all about? They tell me you're afraid of Germans. That so, what?"
 "I-that is-yes, sir" replied the unhappy captain. T refused to go over the top"
 Refused, dammit, refused!" roar dthe colonel. Why, there isn't such word in the kings English, you young brighter You're a sol- dier, not blithering lexicographer feller"
 Captain Bob opened his mouth to speak
 Shut up, sir" snapped the col onel. I'm talking. What really was the matter, anyway? You've been over the top hundred times. Old tummy give out on you? Nerves | just sort of snap? That's it. Had it myself plenty of times. Funny what stomach will do to feller what? Leaves him without warn ing, sometimes. And dammit, a man can't fight without a stomach It isn't done, what?"
 The colonel glowered over his nose glasses and added word; That's all. You may go. They need you back in the trenches. Bet ter stop at La Belle Sauvage for 24 hours though, and get rested up. Get some good food. Get some good wine. Laugh. And next time you're on leave drop in and see me"

THE ZERO HOUR By DE WITT MACKENZIE

(Copyright, 1929, Associated Press)
 The first grey streaks which heralded a sunless dawn were just beginning to rear themselves mush- room like into the sky from the far off edge of the stinking sea of mud called Flanders.
 Down to the south of Ypres salient, in this cockpit of Europe, the British front line trenches over a stretch of perhaps five miles were manned with grim tipped, silent soldiers who were waiting for the signal to "go over the top" The zero hour was almost there.
 There was scarcely sound with in the trench itself. Occasionally a German shell found the British front line-a moment of living hell, moans and then silence.
 Within the trench was silence, but out in front, and just in back was a ceaseless crash of splintering steel.
 For hours the British gunners had been bombarding the enemy in preparation for the infantry at tack. A tiny bit more light was all they needed. Then would come the British barrage, behind which Tommy Atkins would make .his way blindly out across no mans land to do or die.
 No man spoke. No man looked ;at his comrade. No man had slept ,for 24 hours-a day and a night in Sthe crater of seething volc ano They were shell shocked and ex- hausted, and only raw nerve kept |. their tired bodies erect at the para Ipet. Many could have screamed with the anguish of it, but the ;horrid nightmare held their throats in an unrelenting grip.
 The broad shoulders of Captain Bob hunched against the trench among his lads. His eyes were on the illuminated dial of his wrist watch, counting off the seconds and minutes. His men saw the big fellow standing there as they 'shad seen him scores of times be- fore, calm and steady. It gave a fellow courage just to look at Cap tain Bob.
 But Captain Bob was far from sbeing as calm as he appeared. He was waging a mighty battle with himself, counting-God, how long would it be before the hands of his watch touched the zero hour?
 Something queer had come over 1Captain Bob, something he had never experienced before. His nerves were playing havoc with him. He was filled with terror-stark horror of that coming rush out across no mans land He, the hero of a hundred fights, was afraid. He tried to crush the feeling, but it would not down. And not only was he afraid, but he was suffer

Ketchikan Elks were right in the middle of initiating H. B, Carbray into the order the other night, when the fire siren sounded md mad scramble ensued. The call was from Newton where q fisherman had walked off the dock into the water. Though the pull motor was called for and taken to the spot, there was no neces- sity of using it as the man had been pulled from the water and seemingly suffered no bad effects.

Inasmuch as most securities, at their recent high levels, yielded in a majority of cases less than five per cent, it became a serious ques- tion as to how long spectators could carry them and pay seven to 10 per cent on the balances owed their brokers. As long as there was a good prospect of capital ap- preciation, monthly carrying charg- es meant little but when the mar ket faces a general recession, or q sharp break such as the market sustained on March 26, the carry ing charges becomes an important item, particularly to large opera tors who are carrying thousands oi shares on margin.

ing that greater torture-fear of being afraid.
 Two minutes more and he would be giving the signal, would have to lead his men into action. Could he make it. He tried to pull him self together.
 Came the great moment. Cap tain Bob raised his hand. With cry his men swarmed over the top of the parapet. Out there ahead the welcome British barrage crash ed down and began it's steam roller progress.
 But Captain Bob didn't move. He slumped weakly up against the wall of the trench. Tommy, stand ing next to his captain, hesitated in surprise and terror seized him, too The sergeant majors quick eye caught the situation.
 Over the top, you bloody" he snarled at Tommy. "Or I'll shoot you through the guts." The sergeant leaned over his cap tain
 Whats the matter, sir?" he ] asked. Get hit?" Captain Bob shook his head
 TT just can't make it, sergeant major" he whispered. I'm done. My nerve is gone"
 The sergeant barred his teeth. He didn't like the captain anyway.
 For tuppence I'd shoot you, too, you yellow swine" he grated But I'll leave you for the firing squad, you .
 The assistant provost marshal of Cassel tucked the order into his tunic pocket and sighed. Another i, trip to the front line to arrest a man for cowardice; another court martial; another firing squad. i The A. P. M. didn't like his job. It was captain fellow this time, too, Captain Bob. What pityl The A. P. M. wondered who Cap tain Bob might be, and sighed again as he started on his unwel- come journey.
 The sergeant major guided the A. P. M. along the trench and fin ally pointed to broad back down { the line
 There's your man, sir" said the sergeant and he licked his lips.
 The A. P. M. walked up and tap ped the captain on the shoulder and announced:
 I've come for you"
 The big chap turned and faced the A. P. M The latter's eyes en- countered first the captains chest and there they rested in amaze ment, for strung across the stained tunic was a row of ribbons, won for valour in battle There were medals from the British. medals from the French, medals from the Belgians-each a tribute to great bravery.

THEFT CHARGE AGAINST
 MASON TO BE DROPPED
Ann Street Man Involved in HOldup of Piorn owSki When he pawned
 stolen Watch.
lsnecial to the HeraIdl

Hartford. Oct. lit was announC- ed at the office of the states attor- ncy today that the prosecution of William Mason, 2l, of 1 Ann street, New Britain. on the charge of theft, will be dropped. Mason was impli- catcd with IgnatZ kowalski of 5T Sexton street, New Britain, in the theft of a watch, a chain, a ring, and s25 in cash from Frank Pior- kowski of 132 Cleveland street, New Britain, on May IS. Both were bound over from the New Britain police court but, before their cases were reached in superior court kowalski was sentenced to states prison for a term of two to four years in super for court at Waterbury on a charge of breaking and entering store in Cheshire.
 According 10 Mason'S testimony in the New Britain police court, he had no connection with the theft except that he pawned watch given to him by Kowalski. which was later identified by Piorkowski.
 The states case against both men was based largely on CirCumstanual evidence, because Piorkowski was unable to identify them as the men who had robbed him.

s. s. Berengaria. Oct. 1 P-The Bercngaria plowed steadily through q gray restive sea today, three days out from New York, with the Brit ish prime minister, Ramsay Mac Donald, and his daughter, Miss Ish- bel aboard.
 Since leaving Southampton Satur- day the premier and his daughter seem to have enjoyed every minute of their trip. They have spent hours in walking about the spacious decks, in reading, and in converse tion.
 Miss Ishbcl danced most of last evening with both British and Amer ican passengers with whom she has made friends. During the day her 1athcr found time for several con fcrenccs with his staff and also to sit for a portrait for the artist Tom Van Oss.
 The premier received the news paper men in conference for the first time yesterday and lunched with them afterwards and permitted more photographs 10 be taken. Some of the group pictures newspaper men were included.

SOCIAL DIFFICULTY
 FINALLY SETTLED
Seating Arrangements for Din-
 ne7 Make Further Progress

Washington. October lP)-The extremely complicated questions of prorodorco involved in the core mouial functions which will attend the visit here of Prime Minister Macdonald seemed, today to have been answered to the satisfaction of everybody directly concerned
 A a result, Washington society Was asaurad today that any embar- rassing revival during the Iiatin- guished viitor's stay. of the contro- ynrsy over the rank of Mrs. Edward Everett Gam. sister and official hos tess Of th. vice president. had been made extremely unlikely, the big question. who would sit next to whom at the White House dinner, having uoon settled.
 More Courtesy Found
 The end. Of the state depart mcuts worries and the eager spccu- lutions of others interested came about through series Of courteous withdraw walls cf precedence rights. Vice President Curtis waived his right to sit next 10 Mrs. Hoover at the White House dinner. and Mrs. Cam r"linqushcd hers to occupy a similar position with the president. Mr. Macdonald will he Mrs, Hoover's escort and Lady Isabella Howard. wife of the British ambassador. will dine at the right of the chief cX- ccutivc.
 Previous waivers of precedence had come from ST Esme Howard, who outranks his prime minister be- cause, as ambassador, he is the per sonal representative of their king. and from the prime minister on be- half of his daughter. Ishbcl. with the request tha, she be given no official rank
 Secretary Stimson, whose state de- pertinent is responsible for the cor rect seating of official guests at ruch functions as the White House dinner 10 the British cabinet head will be, expressed his cOmmcndation of the vice presidents indication of his de- sire to take any action necessary 10 make the British statesman's visit successful and pleasant.
 Howard Issues Ruling
 Ii was the British ambassador who ruled, on behalf of the diplo- matic corps, that Mrs. Gam should have the same recognition at .ccrc- monial diplomatic functions as if she were the wife of a vice president and her friends sec in the temporary character of the waiver of her pre- ccdence at the White House dinner more general recognition of the rank thus accorded.
 The difficulties the social experts have encountered in arranging the | White House guest list were less concerned, however. with Mrs i Gann's place at the table than witt 1 that of the vice president, whose
