the trench walls and led by steps down
into the earth. Candles glimmered be-
low; from one dugout came the cheer
full strains of mouth organ, from an
other the odor of frying bacon, from
all @ hot breath of Stagnant air. Two
grizzled soldiers sat at the top of one
fight of steps, smoking their evening
pipes. and talking quietly.
They passed the last dugout of this
cheerful little settlement and moved
into the solitude again. Sometimes
they stopped to rest awhile, dropped
their packs in the trench, and sat on
them until the order came to move.
Raleigh began to think no end would
ever come, when suddenly they reached
deep, open space where several
trenches met.
A voice came out of the night:
Corporal, take these officers to bat
talon headquarters"
Yes, sir" A dark figure peered at
them, and said, will you come along,
please"
Raleigh fell in behind, and followed
along a trench until corporal halted
before a sand-bagged by-lane, labeled,
ITO Bait. H.Q." The lane ended alb
ruptly before a curtained doorway,
through which the corporal disappeared.
AS they waited, q soldier in shirt
sleeves emerged through the curtain
with two empty soup plates in his
hands, glanced at them, and disap-
peared into a hole A bullet passed like
a whip-crack overhead.
In few moments the corporal reap
peared and ushered them through the
curtain. They stood In a square,
timbered place where some officers were
seated at dinner.
Good evening" said a little gray
haired man at the farther end of the
table. IT hoped you'd arrive in time
to have come in with us. Never mind,

you?" he said to Jackson. Before my
time, though"
Jackson explained that he had been
with "a" Company, and would like, If
possible, to return to it.
That's all right" said the colonel.
'They want another officer. Mr.. Dawes,
you report to Capt NARROW of "B''
Compary-and Mr.. Raleigh, report to
Capt. Stanhope, of C. Company" The
colonel jotted the names in his book,
and turned to an officer bv his side:
60 and get runners to take these
gentlemen to their companies"
It may have been the sudden close
ness of the little dugout after the crisp
night air, or the darkness and the
curious Quietness of 1t ALL that gave
Raleigh a sudden, odd sense of I'M
reality. The colonel's words came as If
from q figure in q dream--"Capt. Stan

A sergeant arrived to report the ration

put on their mackintoshes, slung on
their packs, and went with the quarter
master into the street. Some mule
drawn limbers and hand carts were
standing in readiness.

quartermaster, as he clambered on to
his horse. Dump your packs on that

They followed the convoy out Of the
valley and along a straight road be-
tween dark fields. They passed big
roofless chateau, standing behind tall
ratings in q garden of dank, coarse
grass and ragged trees. Gradually the
road grew rougher, until 1t became no
more than a cart track over what
seemed a vast fiat plain. Sometimes
the track bridged deep trenches, or
wound by narrow avenues through belts
of rusty wire.
They halted In the shelter of wood,
and a party of :1en rose from the
shadows to help unload the limbers.
In a few minutes the whole convoy left
the empty limbers and filed on foot
along q twisting blackboard walk-each
man with two sacks slung over his
shoulder.
At first the very lights had been a
faint, luminous foam above the horizon;

or a gas pocket formed in pipes beneath

The name of the new co-ordinated
group is to be Veterans Administration,
and will supplant all three of its sub
ordinate groups-the Veterans Bureau,
the Pension Bureau, formerly in the In

Homes for Volunteer Soldiers.
An exception is made, however, in the
fact that the Soldiers Home, located in
