Overwhelming and splendid victory
] wish also to express regret that
Q talk l delivered over the radio III
behalf of Mr.. Pulliam was miscon-
strued and very badly misquoted. l
had a large number OF personal
friends supporting Mr.. Campbell
and this was known to me at the
time l was talking-and l certainly
did not mean to give any ottenSe
TO them or to the thousands OF other
splendid. right thinking, hard work
ing citizens who were supporting
this same candidate.
One error that has crept into the
general story l would like to correct
is that it is being said by some that
Mr.. Heald had something or other
to do with this talk Mr. Heald did
not even know / was talking over
the radio and had nothing what
ever to do with it. l was merely
attempting TO express my personal
opinion and any criticism tor what
was said should be directed at me
alone.
AS long as l am connected with

Now III open my pickle bottle
and let some sunshine OUT" cried
Bunty gaily dancing into the bun
algow. She climbed Up on 4 char,
reached for the bottle and care
fully took out the cork. But she
was much disappointed when the
clouds were as thick as before and
no golden CLEANS frightened the
, gloomy day.
I guess Unkie Wig was ri.ht, ,"
sighed Bunty, waiting a while. "Eou
can't keep sunshine in a bottle. Cut

went on with a little laugh. III

it freeze ice and then III make some

I Bunty went down 10 the duck
pond to fill her pickle bottle. Now
1t happened that little while be-
fore Uncle Wiggily had also gone
down to the duck pond TO see If it
was freezing so he could go skating.
/ There was fence around the pond
and Uncle Wiggily crawled under
TO look at the water It had not
yet turned into ice, but might al
night.
Then, all of a sudden. while the
rabbit stood there, over the fence
jumped the Bob Cat. The Bad
ChaD rushed al Uncle Wiggily, who
ran into corner hoping he might
lind a way out there. But thee
was none.
Hal Now I have youl" yowled
the Bob Cat. II have you in 4
corneri"
Yes. it's tight corner" said Mr..
Lcngears. Don't you want TO play
Puss N the Corner Cameo" he ask
ed thinking that if the Bob Cat
would 90 over in the other corner
there might be a chance to escape.
NO, I'm not going to play any
silly game like thatl' snarled the
Bob Cat. I'm going to scratch
you and then bite youl"
Baby Bunty, coming TO the duck
pond TO fill her bottle, heard this
talk Peeking through a knot hole
in the fence she saw Uncle Wiggily
IN his tight corner. And Bunty made
up her mind to save him. She fill
ed her bottle with water and then.
all Of a sudden, she tossed it over
the fence SO it fell right on the
Bob Cats head and broke The
water splashed all over him and
made him sneeze. And then the
Bad Chap was so surprised that he
never said word when Mr. Long
cars ran out of the tight corner,
crawled beneath the fence and
hurried home with Bunty
You brought a lot of sunshine
into my life by saving me just now,
Bunty," said the rabbit gentleman.
Even if you didn't have any sun
shine in your bottle"
I'm awfully gladi' said Bunty,
giggling as little girls do.

Back in the front line once more, he
followed Trotter to the further end
where lay the first sentry group OF
the neighboring company. There was
not much to see. The company guarded
a wide section of the thinly held front
line Every so yards they had sentry
group of six men, sometimes with a
Lewis gun. Two men were always
standing on the firestep, looking out
into No Mans Land; two, near by,
dozed on the firestep; two more slept
usually in a little alcove dug in the
trench side with a ground-sheet cover
ing its entrance. A corporal was in
charge of each group, and as Trotter
came along a few words passed. Gen.
orally Trotter would stand up beside
the sentries and talk to them, discuss
the land ahead. At one place they
could see the ruins of Beauvais Farm
gaunt finger of brickWork pointed to
the sky as if accusing the heavens for
what had fallen and destroyed it.
Sometimes Trotter would load the Very
pistol, crouch in the trench, and fire
the light at steep angle toward the
German trenches. He would then go
quickly down the line and jump on the
hrestep to watch the light fall brilliant
iy over the enemyS position
Always keep the pistol low when
you fire. counseled Trotter, "or they
may see the flash. And never stand
up just where you fire it, or you may
get sniped."
He turned to Raleigh and smiled.
They were standing together some
where in the center of the piece of line
they guarded, leaning back against the
trench wall in a deep fire bay. The
night had grown quieter now. The
machine guns raped out less frequent
ly, as if the Germans were growing
tired and sleepy. Once. several vicious
little explosions came from the right,
and Raleigh could see showers of yellow
sparks shoot up from the ground.
Aerial darts" said Trotter, nasty
little German shells which they fire off
rods, sort of like a catapult On "B"
Company, I should guess. Good old
b Company"
He turned and glanced at Raleigh
with a little chuckle of laughter
Raleigh returned the glance as Trotter
looked away. There was something very
likable about this fat cheerful man,

when a sergeant doomed round the
corner and stood beside them.
"Barton's got a bad cough. sir. I
was thinking we better keep i'm out of
the sap and put i'm on duty back here. "
Yes" agreed Trotter; 'e's making
too much row up there
Raleigh had noticed thin. hacking
cough each time they had passed the
group which held the sap
The sergeant accompanied the two
officers to the dugout where Barton
lay, and Trotter crawled in to see the
man.
Raleigh found the sergeant pleasant
companion as they waited outside.
Just got here, sir?"
Eyes"
you've come to the right company,
sir"
Perhaps it was this remark by the
sergeant which led to 1t, but quite sud-
denly Raleigh found himself telling his
companion that he had been at school
with Stanhope and that they had long
been friends.
Trotter reappeared and instructed
the sergeant to remove Barton to a
post in the support line where his
cough was less likely to be heard.
And when the two officers started
upon another tour Of their trenches,
Raleigh walked with light heart be-
cause of some things the sergeant had
said of Capt Stanhope, his friend.

who gave off a faint odor Of carbolic
soap. During supper Raleigh had had
a back view of Trotter, who had sat
sideways to the table to get more room
he had seen a rough red neck, pitted
with little scars: a large fold of fat
projected when Trotter raised his head
He had made good deal of noise with
his food and wiped his mouth with the
back of his big red hand. Raleigh S
instinct for friendship had never per-
mitted snobbery to become part of his
creed, but his upbringing had made it
impossible for him to meet and under
stand those who had been cast in
rougher molds. At home he had learnt
to enjoy, under his fathers encourage
ment, the society of every one round
Alum Green, no matter what their
station. Often he had accompanied
old Medley on his round of delivering
letters but these associations had never
extended to their homes and eating
with them. Trotter had surprised him
considerably at first-the only Lon
doner of this kind he had met before
was the school porter at Barford who
often on dark Winter evenings sighed
loudly for the lights of Bermondsey.
Raleigh was never for an instant con-
scious of a class superiority; he simply
felt that such a gulf must exist between
himself and these people that no effort
of his or theirs could bridge it. AS
they dressed differently, spoke different
ly, walked differently, must even think
differently, then for each others sakes
they should go their different ways. 1t
was only natural that he should re-
gard Trotter as an odd being which had
never crossed his path before; it was
natural, too, that the thought of pass
ing three hours alone with him in the
trenches should be a source of keen
embarrassment. What could they talk
about? what possible link could they
find to join each other on common
ground.
And now, as they stood resting to-
gether in this deep fire bay, Raleigh
realized that over an hour had passed
without the slightest embarrassment
True, there had been a great deal to
see, an amazing experience of mystery
and excitement, but they had talked
steadily all the while, always quietly,
sometimes in a whisper, when at the
sap head-although the best whisper
Trotter could manage was an odd
husky. croaking sound. Trotter. of
course, had done most of the talking.
He never tired of explaining the equip
ment of trench warfare to the boy, the
odd sounds, the mysterious lights. He
listened attentively to Raleighs ques-
tions, and answered with measured care.
But now, as they stood alone, with
nothing for the moment to distract
them. Raleigh began to feel a longer
pause between Trotter's explanations:
he realized that Trotter was fighting as
