I Jiuitt Imvu slept for two or lliroo Iiours, not tlm refreshing kind Hint r ultH from rleiiu sheets mill soft pil lows, hut tin) sleep Hint comes from cold, wet mid sheer exhaustion. Suddenly, the cnrtlt seemed to shrike 'C.'id ii thunderclap burnt In my rum. I nii'iii'(1 tny eyes I win sploshed nil over with sticky mud, nnd men wen picking themselves up from tlm bottom of tint tri-nch. The ptirnput on my Iff t luid toppled Into tho trench, completely tilockliiK It with n wnll of toHxcd-up earth. Tint innn on my left lny still, I rubbed tlm mud from my fnce, nnd nu nwful sight met my gaze his lirnd was smashed to n pulp, nnd IiIh hIim-1 helmet wnn full of brains nnd blood. A -German ".Minnie" (tri'lirh inortnr) lintl exploded In Ihn next traverse. Mm wero dlKRliiK Into tin soft mass of mud In n frenzy of lutnto.

Hoon Ihey would lio resting "somewhere In France," with n llttlo wooden cross over their bends. They hnd done their tilt for king nnd country, hnd died without firing n idiot, liut their services wcro appreciated, nevertheless, Ijiter on, I found out their names. Thry belonged to our drnfL I wiih dazed nnd motionless. Hud dcnly n shovel wnn puidicd Into my linndis utid n rough hut kindly voice mid: "Here, my Intl. lend n hnnd dentine tho trenrh, hut keep your hend down, nnd look out for sniper. Ono of the IKrlU's In n dnlxy, nnd he'll cot you If jrou'ro not careful." Lying on my lielly on the bottom of Ihn trench, I filled sandbngs with thn titlcky mud, they wero dragged to my trenr by tho other men, nnd tho work of (rebuilding tho parapet wnn on. Tho flmrder I worked, tho better I felt. At Ithough tho wenthcr wnn cold, I wait Monkeil with sweat. Occasionally n bullet would crnck Kircrhend, nnd n mnchtno gun would fclck up the mud on tho bardicd-ln pnru awt. At ench crnck I would duck nnd 1nw u in I HH which! my fnco with my nrm. Ono of tho older men noticed thin nctlon of anlno, nnd whispered : "Don't duck nt tho crnck of n bill Set. Yank; tho dnnger has passed you (never henr tho ono thnt wlngn you. Always remember thnt If you nro going rto get It, you'll get It, no never worry." Thin mndo n grent Impression on me Cit the time, nnd from then on, I adopt d bin motto, "If you'ro going to get It, you'll get It." It helped mo wonderfully. I used It )ko often nfterwnrdn thnt some of my tmntcit dubhed me, "If you'ro going to ct It, you'll get It." After nn hour's hnnUwork, nil my O (nervousness left me, nnd I wnn laugh. Sng nnd joking with tho rest. At ono o'clock, dinner enmo op In Kbo form of it dlxlo of hot ntow, I looked for my ennteen. It hnd (fallen off tho flro ntcp, nnd wnn hnlf thurlcd In the mud. Tho mnn on my Heft noticed thin, nnd told tho corpornl, tdlshlng out tho rations, to put my udmro In bin menu tin. Then ho whls rpered to mo, "Always tnko euro of your lines tin, mnto." I hnd tenrncd another mnxlm of tho trenches. Thnt stew tasted fine. I wnn nN hungry ns u henr. We hnd "seconds," lor nnother helping, bernuso three of Itho men hnd "gono Went," killed by tho explosion of tho German trench jmortur, nnd wn nto their Him re, but Will I wnn hungry, ho I filled In with (bully beef nnd biscuits. Then I drained my wnter bottle. Later on I learned Junothcr mnxlm of tho front lino, "Oo 'jtmnrlugly with your water." Tho bully t jlieef mndo mo thirsty, nnd by tea tlmu 'I wiih dying for n drink, but my prldu would not nllow mo to nnk my mnten for wutcr, I wan fnat learning tho iethtcH of tho trendies, Thnt night I was put on guard with un older mnn, Wo stood on tho flro Htep with our hnnda over tho top, peer Jng out Into No Man's Land. It was utcrvoiiH work for mo. but tho other fol (low seemed to tnko It as part of tha hnlnIit'H routine. Then Nomothlng nhot pnst my face, (My heart stopped bcnUug, and I ducked tiny head below tho parapet. A soft rchucklo from my mnto brought mo to my senses, and I focbly asked, "Vat tienvon's sako, what was thnt?" Ho anHwered, "Only a rat taking a Jfhmeniulo along tho sandbags." 1 jlolt lilt very sheepish, About every twenty minutes tho son- try In tho next traverse would flro stur shell from his flare pistol. Tho -"plop" would glvo mo a start of fright. I never got used to this noise during my scrvlco In tho trenches.

Tho reply enmo back limtuntly from tho dnrk forum: "Hhul your bllnkln' mouth, you bloomlu' Idiot; do you want uh to click It from tho HocheiO" Later wo learned thnt tho word, "No challenging or firing, wiring party out In front," had been given to tho Hen try ou our right, but ho hnd fnllcd to pnmi It down tlio trench. An o nicer had over hen rd our challenge und tho reply, nnd Immedlntely put tho offending sentry under urrcsL Tho sentry clicked twenty-one ilnyn on tho wheel, thnt Is, ho received twenty-one dnyn' field pun Inhment No. 1, or "crucifixion," ns Tommy terum It. This connlnts of being nprend-englcd on tho wheel of n Umber two hours n dny for twenty-ono tlnys, regardless of thn weather. During this period, your rations coitnlnt of bully beef, biscuits and water.' A few months later I met this sentry and he confided to mo that hIiico being "crucltled," he hnd never fnlled to pnss thn word down tho trench when so or dered. In view of tho offense, tho nbovo punishment wns very light, In thnt fulling to pnss tho word down a trench mny menn the loss of mnny lives, und tho spoiling of some Impor tant cntcrprlso In No Mun's Land. CHAPTER VI. "Back of tha Line." Our tour In tho front-lino trench lusted four dnys, and then wo were relieved by tho brigade doing down tho communication trench wo wero In a merry mood, nl though wo wero cold nnd wet, and every bono In our bodies ached. It mnken n lot of difference whether you nro "going In" or "going out." At the end of tho communication trench, limbers wero waiting on tho road for us. I thought wo wero going to rldo buck to rest billets, but soon found out thnt tho only time an In fautrymau rides Is when ho Is wounded nnd Is bound for tho biuo or Illlghty. Those limbers carried our reserve ammunition and rations. Our march to rest billets was thoroughly enjoyed fiy me. It seemed as If I wero on furlough, and wus leaving be hind everything that was tllsugreo. ublu and horrible. Kvory recruit feels this way after being relieved from tho trenches. Wo marched eight kilos nnd then halted In front of a French cHtiimluet. The captain gave tho order to turn out ou each side of tho road und wait his return, l'retty soon ho came back and told II company to occupy billets 117, 118 and lilt, lllltet 117 was an old btable which hud previously been occupied by cows. About four fceMn front of tho entrance wus a huge ma nure pile, and the odor from It was anything but pleasant. Using my fltmhllght I stumbled through tho door. Just before entering I observed a white sign reading: "Sitting 50, lying 20," but, ut tho time, Its slgulllcunco did not strike me. Next morning I asked tho sergeant major what It meant. Ho nonchalantly answered: That's some of tho work of tho It, A. M. a (Hoynl Army Medlcul corps), It Mmply meuiN that In case of an at tack, this billet will accommoduto fifty wounded who arc utile to sit up and tnko notice, or twenty stretcher cases," It wns not long after this that I was ono of tho "20 lying." I soon hit thu hay and was fust asleep, even my friends tho "cooties" failed to disturb me. Tho next morning nt about six o'clock I was awakened by tho lnnco corporal of our section, Informing mo that I had been detailed as mess or derly, and to report to tho cook and give him a htmd. I helped him muko tho tiro, carry wutcr from an old well, and fry tho bacon. Lids of dixies nro used to cook tho bacon In. After breakfast was cooked, I carried n dlxlu of hot tea mid tho lid full of bacon to our section, and told tho corporal thnt breakfast was ready, Ho looked at mo In contempt, nnd then shouted, "Ureuk flint up, comu und gut It I" I Immedl ntely got wlso to tho trench parlance nnd nuver again Informed that "Ureak fust wns served." It didn't tuko long for tho Tommies to answer this cull. Hnlf dressed, they lined up with thotr cuutcons nnd I dished out tho tea. Huch Tommy carried In his hand a thick' slice of bread which had boon Issued with tho ruilojin Uiq nlcM feoiatfl Tkca I bud tho pleasure of seeing them illg fnTo tho bacon with their dirty lingers. Tho allowance was ono slice per man, Tho Into ones received very small slices. An ench Tommy got his nhtiro ho Im medlntely disappeared Into tho billet. Pretty noon about fifteen of them mndo a rush to the cookhouse, each currying a huge slice of bread. Thesa slices they1 dipped Into tho bacon greiisa which was stewing over thu flro. Tho last mini Invariably lost out. I wus thu lust man. After breakfast our section carried their equipment Into a field adjoining the billet and got busy removing the trench mud therefrom, because at 8:45 u. m., they hud to full In for Inspection nnd parade, and woo betldo thu mnn who wus unshaven, or bud mud on his uniform. Cleanlliiess Is next to godli ness In thu Ilrltlsh army, and Old Pop per must have been personally ac quainted with HI. Peter. Our drill consisted of close-order formation, which lasted until noon. During Oils time we hnd two ten-mlu-uto breaks for rest, und no sooner tho word, "Full out for ten minutes," wus given than each Tommy got out u fug und lighted It. Fugs urn Issued every Huridny morn lug, and you generally get between twenty nnd forty. The brand gen erally Issued Is tho "Woodbine." Homo times we nre lucky and get "Hold Unites," "Players" or "Ited IIUBSiirs." Occasionally an Issue of "Life Hays" comes along. Then tho older Tommies Immediately get busy on the recruits mid trndo these for "Woodbines" or "Ooldllnkes." A recruit only bus to be stuck once In this manner, nnd then ho censes to bo a recruit. There Is a reason. Tommy Is a grent clgnrctte smoker. lie Htuokcs under nil condi tions, except when unconscious or when bo Is reconnolterlng In No Mnn's Lund at night. Then, for obvious rea noun, bo does net en re to have n light ed cigarette In hW mouth. Htretchcr beurers carry fngs for wounded Tommies. When a stretcher bearer arrives nlongsldo of a Tommy who has been hit the following conver sation usually Hikes place: Htretchcr benrer "Wunt n fng7 Where nro you hit!" Tommy looks up utid unsworn, "Yes. In tho leg." After dlsmlssnl from pnrnde, wc re turned to our billets nnd I hud to get busy immedlntely with the dinner Is sue. Dinner consisted of slew mndo from fresh beef, a couple of spuds, bully beef, Muconochlo rations and wa terplenty of wnter. There Is greut competition among tho men to spear with their forks tho two lonely jaita toes. After dinner I tried to wnsh out the dlxlo with cold wnter nnd n rag, and learned nnother maxim of tho trenches "It ciiu't bo done." I slyly watched ono of tho older men from nnother ncvllon, nnd wns horrified to see him throw Into his dlxlo four or live double handfuls of mud. Then ho poured In some wnter, und with his hands scoured tho dlxlo Inside und out. I thought ho wns tnklng un nwful risk. Supposing tho cook should have neon him I After hnlf nn hour of unsuc cessful efforts I returned my dlxlo to tho cook shuck, being cureful to put on tho cover, and returned to tho billet.

Pretty soon thu conk poked his hend In the door nnd shouted: "Hey, Yank, come out hero nnd cleun your dlxlo I" I protested that I hud wnsted a hnlf hour on It already, and had used up my only remaining shirt In tho at tempt. With a look of disdain he ex claimed: "Itlow me, your shirt I Why In didn't you use mud?" Without n word In reply I got busy with tho mud, and soon my dlxlo was bright and shining. Most of thu ufternoon wns spent by tho men writing letters home, I used my spare tlmo to chop wood for tho cook und go with tho ipiartermaster to draw cool. I got buck just In tlmo to Ih.huo our third meal, which consisted of hot ten, I rinsed out my dlxlo nnd returned It to tho cookhouse, und went back to the, billet with an exhilarated feeling thnt my day's labor was done. I hud fallen asleep on the straw when once again tho cook appeared In tho door of tho billot with: "llllmo me, you Ynnks nro Insy. Who In n-goln' to draw tho water for tho mornln tea? Do you think I'm u-golnk to? Woll, I'm not," and ho left. I ed tho dlxlo with water from nn old squeaking well, nnd onco again lay dawn In tho straw, (To Do Continued.)

Strictly speaking, we should say ciga rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok ers of this country will recognize it more readily by its trade name, "LUCKY STRIKE" the toasted cigarette. The American Tobacco Company are producing millions of these toasted ciga rettes and these are being bought in enormous quantities through the various tobacco funds conducted by the news papers of the country and forwarded through the Red Cross Society to the boys In France. This new process of treating tobacco not only improves the flavor of the tobacco but It seals in this flavor and makes the cigarettes keep better.
