A few days later I had orders to re-1

about thirty kilos behind Ihe line. I
reported to (he A. P. M. (nsslslani pro

him away to the army.
One morning his fears were realized, j
finre enough, there stood a iollceman I
with Ihe fatal paper. Taking It In his
trembling hand he read that he, Albert !
I.Ioyd. waa ordered to report himself!
to ihe nearest 'recruiting station for I
physical exiibilnallon. He reported in-1
meilintcl), because he was afraid to ;
disobey. (
The doctor looked with approval,'

fection, and thought what a fine I
KiniriNcmin he would make, but exam-
Ined Ills hrart twice before be passed j
him as "physically fit;" It was beating j
so fast. j
' From Ihe recruiting depot Lloyd was
taken, with many others. In charge of j

of klmki, and drew his other equip- i
men!, fie made n fine-looking soldier, !
except for the slight shrinking In his ,
shoulders and the hunted look In bis j
eyes. . '
At the training depot It does not '
take long to find out a man's character,
and Lloyd was promptly duhlied
."ttlnily." In Ihe English army windy"
means cowardly.
The smallest recruit in the barracks
looked on hii.i with contempt, and wus
not slow to show It in many ways.
Lloyd was a good soldier, learned
quickly, obeyed every order promptly, j
never gmmed at the hardest fatigues
He was afraid to. He lived In deadly
fear of the officers and "noncoms" over
him. They nlso despised him.
One morning about three months
uftcr his enlistment Lloyd's company
was paraded, and the names pietced out
for the next draft to France were read.
When his name was called, he did not
step out smartly, two paces lo the'
front, ami utiswer cheerfully, "Hero,
sir," na the others did. He Just faint
ed In tlie.rnnks and was carried lo bar
rack amid tltc sneers of Ihe rest.
That night was an ngnny of misery
to him. He could not sleep, .lust cried

on the morrow the draft was to soil
for France, where he would Kee death
on all sides, and perhaps be killed him
self. (In the steamer, crossing the

In the trenches, Lloyd, with two of the

one of the traverse. Not a shot was

On th first time in, a new recruit Is
not reqnlred to stand with his, head
"over the top." He only "sits ft out,"
while the older men keep watch. (
At about ten o'clock, ell of a sudden,
lie thought hell bad broken loose, and

Imagined, right in their trench, when In

One of the older men on guard, turn

I wonder If the fool knows he can be

post?"
Lloyd bad gone. When the trench
mortars opened up, a maddening ter-
ror r,ZPr) nim fln,i ne wanted to run,
to get away from that horrllile din,
anywhere to safety. So quietly sneak
ing aronnd the traterse, he came to the
entrance of a communication trench,
nnd ran madly nnd blindly down it,
running Into traverses, stumbling Into
muddy holes, nnd falling full length
over tronch grids. .
Groping blindly, with his arms
stretched out In front of him, he at
Inst enmc out of -the trench into he
village, or what used to lie a village,
before tho German artillery razed It.
Mixed with his fear, he had a pe
culiar sort of cnnnlng. which whis
pered to him to avoid all sentries, be
cause If they snw him he would be
sent back to that awful destruction In
the front line, nnd perhaps be killed
or maimed. The thought made hlra
shudrter. the cold sweat coming out in
bends on his face.
On his left. In the darkness, he could
make ont the shadowy forms' of trees;
crawling on his hands nnd knees, stop
ping nnd crouching with fear at each
shell-burst, he finally reached an old
orchard and cowered at the base of a
shot-scarred apple tree.
He remained there all night, listen
ing to the sound of tne guns rind ever
praying, praying that his useless life
would be spared.
As dawn begnn to break, he could
discern Utile dark objects protruding
from the ground all nhont him. Curi
osity mastered his fear and he crawled
to one of the objects, nnd there. In the
uncertain light, he rend on a little
