he went on with sudden seriousness,

I'm afraid he's not we'll"
Raleigh's feeling of well-being, fol-
lowing on his shave, wash and hot
drink, suddenly vanished. The fact
that he had got through his first night
in the line without incident ceased to
give him satisfaction; for there was
still the mystery of Dennis, and the
misery of finding him like that after
his turn in the trenches with Trotter.
He wished the other two would talk of
something else-it seemed, somehow.
disloyal to hear Dennis discussed. His
platoon sergeant had given him a pile
of letters and post cards to be censored,
and he began the hateful, mean duty
OF reading them to make sure they con-
veyed no military information. What
ever precautions were taken, the
civilians in the back villages knew far
more of the movements of troops, of
the likelihood of attacks than any in
fantryman, but the farce had to be
kept up. Raleigh waded through the
ill-spelt, pathetic letters, trying con-
Scientiously to Judge their possible value
to the enemy, and to forget the sight Of
Dennis the night before, sitting on his
bed drinking whisky.
After you come up to relieve u.s."
Trotter went on with steady persistence,
me and Raleigh came back here, and
there was Stanhope sitting on is bed
drinking. E was as white as a sheet.
Awful, e looked, didn't he, Raleigh?"
Did hep" said Osborne before Raleigh
could speak. Then he went on hur-
hiedly: Look at the sun on those
sandbags. Itll be quite warm soon"
Yes" agreed Trotter, land I'll get
1t 'ot If I don't go and relieve Stanhope.
He'll curse like hell if I don't. Bet he's
got a red-'ot liver this morning"
He rose slowly to his feet and exhaled
deeply while he buttoned UP his tunic.
''Lord!" he painted "I must get me
fat down Then having put on his
helmet and gasmask satchel, he NUT
tered "Cheero!" and disappeared up
the steps.
Raleigh pushed his letters aside. He
wanted to talk, but did not know how
to begin. Things seemed so different
after his one night in the line. and
Osborne was the only man who would
understand. The boy took a cigarette
from his case and lighted it deliberately
to give himself countenance.
We'll" said Osborne, as though he
could read Raleigh's thought. What do
you think about it alp"
"Oh, all right, thanks. But feel
I've been here for ages. And Trotter
says we're here for six days. I just
can't imagine what it's like at the end
of them"
Anyhow, we've done IL hours al
ready. It's fine when you're relieved and
go down the line to billets. and have

tea. And the Germans were only the
breadth of q Rugger field away.
ITS funny to think Of It like that, !"
unused Raleigh.
Il always measure distances like that
out here. Keeps them in proportion" I"
Did you play Rugger?"
'Yes. But mostly refflng at school
in the last few years"
why, are you schoolmaster then?"
Osborne laughed at the others look
of astonishment. Yes" he admitted.
Il must apologize"
"Oh, I don't mind schoolmasters. !"
Then. red with confusion, he stumbled
on. II mean, I've never met one out
side a school,"
They do get out sometimes"
Who did you play for?"
THE Harlequins,"
Raleigh whistled through his teeth.
II say, really!"
Il played for the English team on one
great occasion"
Whey! For England"
Il was awfully lucky to get the
chance. It's long time ago now"
But how simply toppinei II never
realized you'd played for England"
Osborne smiled to himself, and the
fine little wrinkles appeared a. the
corners of his eyes. "Tuppence to talk
to me now" he said. Anyhow, don't
breeze 1t about"
Don't the others know? It'd make
them feel jolly bucked."
1T doesn't make much difference out
here"
NO" Raleigh agreed. trying again to
adjust his values to this new standard.

where, and sit and read under trees.
1T must be-" agreed Raleigh.
After those tragic, blackened stumps
to the right of the trenches, 1t seemed
almost impossible to believe that real
trees, with leaves and branches, still
existed. The splintered stumps had once
formed a little larch wood, and, some
where, other larch trees would soon be
covered with fresh feathery green and
the wood pigeons would be building
their untidy nests among their branches.
Dennis could say all that sort OF thing
in words, but Raleigh only repeated his
short sentence with lingering emphasis.
"Yes, 1t must be!'
"And how did you feel in the front
line?"
"Oh, all right. But it's funny to think
of the Germans being so close. Only
about 70 yards, isn't it?"
Prom the actual front line? Yes,
about the breadth of a Rugger field"
The senior Rugger field at Barford
had been away to the right, near the
row of elm trees. Along one side OF 1t
ran two rows of benches for the masters
and their families, and the monitors.
The smaller boys crowded the ropes
along the other side of the field some
10 yards away, and yelled enthusias-
tically: PLAY up, Barford!" "Oh. well
run. Stanhope!" "Oh, offside there"
well collared, sir!" until they were
hoarse, and almost as tired as If they
had been playing themselves. When
that little worm, Lindsey, didn't cheer
enough, he got scragged up and rolled
in the mud so that Matron lost her
hair with him when he came back to
