For them the trenches; the pitiless storms of rain and sleet; the ceaseless deafening bombard ment of the guns; hunger, cold and fever; wounds and death. v That you may dwell in peace, plenty, and security, they sacrifice everything, give everything, brave everything, and face a nameless grave with a smile and a song.

Huddenly my hind aeemed to burnt from a loud "crack" In mj car. Tltea1 my bend begnn to awlm, throat got dry, and a henvy preaaure on the lunga warned me flint my helmet waa leak ing. Turning by gun over to No. 2, I changed helineli. The trench itarted to wind like a anake, and annillmga appenred to be fl'Mitlng In the air.

Twlco the Germnna had coined a fool hold In our trench, but hnd been driven out by counter-at-tncka. The trench wim filled with their deud and oura. Through a iierlMCope I counted eighteen dead Qermnna In our wire; they were a gliaatly Ight In their horrtlile-lookliig reaplratort, I exiinilncd my drat atnoke helmet A bullet hud gone through It on the left aide, JuHt grnzlnz my eur.

Two daya after the gaa attack I waa aent to dlvlidon headquarters, Jn an awer to an order requeatlng that cap talna of unite nhoutd detail a man whom they thought capuble of panning an examination for the dlvlaloual In telligence department Before leaving for thla alignment I went along the front-line trench any Ing good-by to my matea and lording It over them, telling them that I hnd V. A Gas Helmet clicked a cushy Job behind the lines, nnd how sorry I felt that they had to stny In the front line nnd srgue out the war with Frits. They were envious but stilt gnod-nntured, and as I left the trench to go to the rear they shouted after me : "Good luck, Ynnk, old boy; don't forget to send up a few fngs to your old mates." I promised to do this and left I reported ut hendquarters with six teen others and passed the required ex amination. Out of the sixteen appli cants four were selected. I was highly elnted been use I whs, I thought, in for a cushy job buck at the base. The next morning the four reported to division beadqiiiirters for Instruc tions. Two of the men were sent to large towns In the rear of the lines with nil easy Job. When It came our turn-the officer told us we were good men nnd had passed n very credltuble exiuiilniitlon. Sly tin hut begnn to get too small for me, und I noted Hint the other ninn, Atwell by name, was sticking his chest out more than usual. The oHIcer continued : "I think I can use you two men to great advantage In the front line. Here are your orders and Instructions, also the pass which gives you full authority as special M. P. detailed on Intelligence work. Re port at the front line according to your Instructions. It Is risky work and I wish you both the best of luck." My heprt dropped to sero and At well's fuic was a study. We saluted and left. That wishing us the "best of tuck" sounded very ominous In our ears; tf he hnd said "I wish you both a swift and puinlesR death" It would have been more to the point. When we hnd rend our Instructions we knew we were in for It good nud plenty. What Aiv"!l 8ii Ul Is not ill for pub lication, but I strongly seconded his opinion of the war, army nnd divisional hctidtiunrtrrs In general. After n bit our spirits rose. We were full-licilged spy-catchers, because our Instruct Ion ami orders, said so. (To Be Continued) m Classified ron IAIJC 0. C.

TOO EARLY VBE OF RtXGE DANGEROUS Prevent Losses of live Stock Froaav Plant Poisoning by Refralnimc. Using Range Too Long- Washington, Apr. 15 That heavy losses of range cattle by poisonous plants, ss well as trampling out for- -age plants, frequently result fronai turning stock on early range whenv there Is still a scarcity of suitable forage, Is shown by investigations of the United States department of ag riculture. In many localities the first vegeta tion to appear in the spring In any considerable quantity Is, unfortun ately, a harmful kind, such as ten-, dec oak leaves and larkspur. Be cause of their craving for fresh. green feed, cattle eat it In large quantities and with disastrous re sults. Cattle kept on dry feed dur ing the winter sre especially liable to suffer If driven to the range be fore there is suitable forage. All kinds of leal blanks at tho r " ' , , 4
