Be wore at the time a lurge sombrero, bad a Mexican atock saddle over bis shoulder, a lariat on his arm, and a "forty-Dve". banging from bla hip. Damping tbla parapher nalia on the floor he went ap to the remitting officer and ahonted: Tm from America, weat of the Rocklea, and want to Join yonr d ' d army. I've got no use for a German and can shoot aome. At Scotland Yard they turned me down ; anld I waa deaf and so I am.

He told them h was forty and slipped by. t wn on recruiting service at the time he applied for enlistment. It was Old Scotty'a great ambition to b a anlper or "body snatrher," aa Mr. Atklna calls It. Tb day that he w nn detailed aa brlgado anlper be cele brated hi appointment by blowing the whol platoon to fags. s rtelng a Tank, Old Scotty took a lik ing to me and used to epln aome great ynrnn about the plain, and the whole plntoon would drink three In and art for more. Ananias waa a rookie com pared with him. The ex-plnlnsman and dlsclpltne could not agree, but the officer all liked him, even If he was hard to man age, so when he Waa detailed aa a sniper a sigh of relief wont up from the officers' mesa.

After-getting late - No Man'e ; Land we separated. Crawling tear or Ave feet at a time, ducking atar shells, with strays cracking overhead, I reached their wire! I aeooted along this inch by Inch, aeareety breathing. I could hear them talking la their trench, my heart waa pounding against my rtbs. One false move or the least i noise from me meant discovery aad ilmoat certain death. After covering my.aector I quietly crawled back. I had gotten about half way when I noticed tbat my revolver waa missing. It was pitch dark. I; turned about to see If I could And It; It couldn't be far away, because about three or four mlnutee previously I had felt tbe butt In the holster. I crawled around In circles and at last found It, : then started on my way back to our trenches, aa I thought. Pretty soon I reached barbed wire, and was Just going to give the pass word when something told ae not to.' I put out my hand and touched one of " t ' ( t T 111 , ' ' f'-r V. - , .""

Tne Oenuan started firing. Tb bullets were biting sll around we, when baug I I ran amaab Into our wire, and s slisrp Challenge, "'Alt, who comet theref rang out. I ganped out the paaaword, and, groping my way through the lane In tbe wire, tearing my bund and uniform, I tumbled Into our trench snd wss safe, but I wa a nervous wreck for sn hour, until a drluk of nun brought m round. CHAPTER XVIII. Staged Under fir. Three days after the lti-d-nt Juat re lated our company waa relieved from Ibe front lln and carried. We tayed In reserve billet for alniut two week wben w received the welcome newa that our division would go buck of the lln "to reel billets." We would re main In these billet for at least two month, this In order to be restored to our full strength by drafts of recruits from r.ll.tity. Everyone wss buppy and contented at these tidluxs; sll you could bear around the billets wss whistling snd singing. Tb duy after the receipt of tbe order w hiked fur five days, mak ing an average of nbont twelve kilos per day until we srrived st tbe small town of O' . It took na about three daya to get emeu, ana irotn men on our ruxiif time atnrtfd. We would parade from 8:43 lo tbe morning ontll 12 noon. Then except for aa occasional billet or brlgsde guard we were on our own. Vur the ltit four or five afternoons I spent my time In bringing np to date my neglected correspondence. Tommy loves to be amused, and be ing a Tank, they turned to me for something Aew In this line, rtatigbt them bow fo pitch borseshoes, and this gsme made a great bit for about ten days. Then Tommy turned to Amer ica for a new diversion. I waa np In tbe air until a happy thought came to me. Why oot write a aketcb and break Tommy In as an sctorT One evening after "lights out." wbeo you sre not supposed to talk, I Impart ed my scheme In whispers to the sec tion. .They eagerly sceepted the Wes af forming a stock coiniuu and could hardly wait until the morrln-; for further details. After parade, the next ufteruoon I was almost mobbed. Kveryone In the section wanted a part la tbe proposed sketch. When I Informed them Hint It would tk at leMNt ten days ot hard work to writ the plot, they, were bit terly dlRuppotnted. I Immediately got busy, made a desk out of biscuit tins In the corner of tbe billet, and put np a algn "Einpey A Wallace Theatrical Co," About twenty of the section, upon reading thl.tlgn. Immediately applied for the poxttton of office boy. I .accepted tbe tweuty applicants, and eeot them on acoutlng parties through out tbe deserted FrenchvlllaKe. These parties -were to search all the attics for discarded civilian clothes, and any thing tbat we could use In the prop of oar proposed company. About See that night they returned covered with grime and dust, bat load ed down with a mtecellaneoaa ort meat of everything under the sun. They must have thought tbat I waa going to start a department store. Judging from tb different things they brought back from their pillage. (To Be Continued 1 "C:3 'C::t?
