In a trench rnld there la quite aufflclent reaaon for your fuce to be pule. If you don't believe me, try It juat one. , Then another renaon for blackening your fare and bamla I that, after you hava entered tbe German trench at night, "white face" mean German, "black fnce" English. Coming around a traverae you aee a white fare la front of you. With prayer and wish ing Frltt "tbe beat o luck," you Intro duce blm to your "persuader" or l:nuckle knife. A little later we arrived at tbe com munication trench named Whisky atreet, which led to the Ore trench at the point we were to go over tbe top and out In front. ' In our rear were four tretcher bear er and a corporal of the R. A. M. C carrying pouch containing medicine and flrat-ald appliance. Kind . of t grim reminder to us that oar espedl tlon waa not gnlng to be exactly a pic nic. The order of thing was reversed, la civilian life the doctors generally corns first, with the undertakers tag- King In tbe rear and then tbe lnrar- nnce man, but In oar case, tbe under taker were lending, with tbe doctors trailing behind, minus the Insurance adjuster. The presence of the R. A. M. C men did not seem to disturb the raiders, be cause many a Joke made In aa under tone, waa paeaod along the winding column, a to who would be first to take a ride on one of the stretchers. This was generally followed by a wish that, If yon were to be the one, the wound would be a "cushy Blighty one." Tbe stretcher bearers, no doubt, hoping that If they did hnve to curry nnyone to the rear, he would be small and light Perhirp they looked at me when wlnhlng, because I could feel an uncomfortable, boring sensation be tween my shoulder blades. They got their wish all light Going up this trench, about every nlxty yunla or sn we would pass a lone ly sentry, who In a whisper wouM wish us "the best o' Inck, mates." We would blind at him under our hrenths; that Jonah phrase to as sounded very ominous. Without any casualties the minstrel troop arrived nt Suicide ditch, the front-Une trench. Previously, a wiring party of the Royal Engineers had cut a lnne through our barbed wire to en n hie us to get out Into No Man's Lund. Crawling through thla lane, our party of twenty took up nn extended order formation about ono yard apart. We had a tap code arranged for our movements while In No Man's Land, because for various reasons It Is not safe to carry on u heated conversation a few yards In front of Frits' lines. The ofllcer was on the right of the line, while I wns nn the extreme left. Two tap from the right would bo piiKKitl dnwu the Hue until I received them, then J would scud back one tup. The olllrer, la receiving this tine tup, wculd know that hi order bad gone down lha whole line, bad been under stood, and that the party was ready to obey the two-tap signal. Two taps meant that w were to crawl forward slowly and bellrv me, very alowly for nve yard, and then hairio await further Instruction. Three tap meant, when yot) arrived within striking dis tance of the German trench, rush It and Inflict as many raauallle aa poa Nllile, emr s couple of prisoners, and then hark to your own line with the peed clutch open. Pour tp meant "1 have gotten you Into a position from whlrlf It I lniMMlhle for me to extrl rnte you, ao you are on your own." After getting Tommy Into a mean on the western front he Is generally told that he I "on hla own." Thl mean. Have your skin In any way possible." Tommy love to be "on hla own" behind the lines, but not during a trench ruld. The star shell from the Germaa line were fulling In front of u. there fore we were safe. After about twen ty minutes we entered the star shell sons. A star tlitil from, the Germnn 1 1 iwa fell about five yard In the rear wild to the right of me; we hugged the ground and held our breath until It burned out. The smoke from the stur sin II traveled ulnnv the ground and crossed over the middle of our lino. Home Tommy sneewd. The smoke hud gotten up bis d. We crouched on the ground, cursing the offender under our breath, and waited the volley that generally envues when the German hnve hennl a noise In No Mun'i Land. Nothing huppeiit'il. We received two J tupt and crawled forward slowly fur live yards; im doubt the r nicer be lieved whnt Old Pepper had i-..itl, "Per annuity I believe tlmt that part of the Oerimin trench la unoccupied." By be ing direful and remaining motionless when the stur shells fell behind us, reurhed the German barbed wire with out mishap. Then the fun began. I wu scurcd etlff ns It Is ticklish work cutting your way through wire when about thirty feet In front of you there Is u line of ItiH iit k looking out Into No Man's I-and with their rifles lying across the pnrniMt, straining every sense tr. s." or hear what Is gu'.r.S 'U In No Man's Laud; because ut ulgbt. Krllz m ver knows when a hoiuh with his name und number on It will come hurtling through the air aimed In tha direction of Berlin. The man on th right, one mnn In the center and my aetf on the extreme left were equipped with wire cutters. These are Insulated with soft rubber not because the Ger mun wire are charged with electricity, but to prevent the cutter rubbing against the barbed wire stakes, which are of Iron, and making a noise which may warn the Inmates of the trench that someone Is getting fresh In their front yard. There Is only one way to cut a burbed wire without noise and through costly experience Tommy has become an expert In doing this. Tou must grasp the wire about two Inches from the stake In your right haud and cut between the stake and your hand. If you cut a wire improperly, a loud twung will ring out on the night nlr like the snapping of a banjo string. Perhaps this noise can be heard only for fifty or seventy-five yards, but In Tommy's mind It makes u loud noise In Berlin. i To Be Continued) SWIT7.KIUi.4Xl) WILL NOT PHKSH CLAIM FOR Ml t'h Washington, Apr. 24.

Good, pure, rion, red blood is the best insurance against ills of all kinds, Altmwt all diseases come from impure and impov erished blood. It is to be nutioed in the pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard appearance or the listless manner.
