Raleigh had known at Barford. The
smell of stale whisky almost made the
newcomer feel sick, and he stared in
bewilderment.
"'Ullo. skipper" said Trotter. mot

Stanhope made no reply. He emptied
the mug Of whisky and turned round
had had time to ask Mason for two
cups of cocoa. Raleigh followed Trotter
miserably into the other dugout, where
Hilbert lay asleep, only a little tuft of
hair showing above the blankets.
While they were waiting for their
cocoa, Trotter gave him the advice of
an old campaigner. First of all he
pointed out how newspapers spread out
on the bed made it appear less hard
him to hang a little parcel of his pro-
visions by string from the ceiling, so
that the rats could not get at them.
Lastly, he produced large biscuit tin
which he fixed up against the wall to
act as a larder for those timed things
which the rats could not eat and as a
book case and dressing table combined
Raleigh enjoyed turning this one corner
OF the dugout into q temporary home,
for it all added to the feeling of roman
tic adventure In q place which was so
much more prosaic and sordid than he
had ever anticipated While he sat on
Q rough wooden box drinking cocoa with
Trotter he was reminded of the drinks
he and Dennis and other children had
warmed up in tins over camp fires in
the days when they had played at
Indians and cowboys.
Trotter explained that they must keep
their boots on, but that collar and tie
might be removed. In q moment or
two they were both rolled up in their
blankets and the candle had been blown
out. The stiffness was occasionally
broken by the muffied tapping of a
machine gun and once, by the bursting
OF heavy shell, which made the walls
of the dugout shiver. Raleigh, listening
for these noises of war, told himself
that he would never fall asleep. 1t was
all too big and exciting. After so many
efforts to picture to himself what it
would be like at the Front, here he lay
within 100 yards of the Germans. All

"Cheero, sir"
The colonel disappeared. followed by
his orderly, and Stanhope spent half an

they must spend all their time between
now and Thursday morning putting out
new wire, even down both TANKS.
The sergeant-maior wrote down all
orders with stubby little pencil in a
dirty note book. When Stanhope had
finished he hesitated cleared his throat,
and admitted there was one point on
which he was not quite clear.

course, we beat 'em off, But what If
they keep on attacking?" he asked.
Then we keep beating them off,"

"oh, think they will" stanhope
agreed cheerily.
We'll then, sir, if they don't get

Stanhope nodded.

awoke to find Hammond, the servant he
shared temporarily with Trotter and
HILBERT, standing by his side.
Hammond held q candle in one hand
and was gently nudging his ofiicer or,
as he would call him in the security
of his own dugout, his "bloke," with the
first finger of the other. "It's time to
get up, sir" he said STAND to- in a

Stand to"-that meant the moment

sides of No Mans Land, from the coast
to the Swiss mountains, men waited
on the alert. For perhaps an hour,
until darkness gave way definitely to
daylight, there was the danger of I'M

Raleigh, fully awake at last, struggled

came down the dugout steps almost

half alphabetically.

explained.
The dugout itself was lit by one
candle, which stood on the table IN an
empty fruit tin. the top of which had
been bent to the perpendicular to act
as a reflector. Stanhope was within its
small zone of illumination, and, with
his tousled, untidy hair and the dark

Robbers Use Machine Gun to Hold Up Customers Waiting to
 Place Bets On Horses

Chicago, July A (P - Regardless of whether the horses were running we'll there were no profits yesterday for racing followers in Argo, a southwest suburb. Five bandits, armed with machine gun. took all the money.
 The bandits slipped into a bookie's office, in the rear of a barber shop, lined up the bettors against the wall, took s2,70O from the propri- etor and an unestimated amount from the patrons.
 Whenever another patron would knock at the door, he was allowed to enter and then showed into line and made to disgorge his money.
 The bandits fled in an automobile. The patrons summoned police and gave chase and for a mile down the suburban avenue the pursuers and the pursued engaged in a gun battle, with residents deserting the streets. The bandits finally outdistanced pur- suers.
