The next evening we were relieved by the th brigade, end once again returned to rent billets. Upon arriving at these billets we were given twenty four houra In which to clean up. I had Just finished getting the mud from mi uniform when the orderly sergeant In formed me that my name was In orders to leave, and that I was to report te the orderly room In the morning for or ders, transportation and rations. . .' i nearly had a Ct, hustled about; packing up, filling my pack with sou venlrs such as shell heads, dud bombs, nose caps, shrapnel balls, and a Prus sian guardsman's helmet In fact, be fore I turned In that night, I had every thing ready to report at the orderly room at nine the nest morning. I waa the envy of the whole section, swanking around, telling of the good time I was going to have, the places 1 would visit, and the real, old English beer I Intended to guzzle. . Sort of rubbed It Into them, because they all do tt, end now that It was my turn, I took pains to get my own back.: ' ; At nine I reported to the captain, re ceiving my travel order and pass. He naked me how much money I wanted to draw. 1 glibly answered, "Three Uundred francs, sir ;" he lust as glibly handed me one hundred. - Reporting at brigade headquarters, with my pack weighing a ton, I waited, with forty others, for the adjutant to Inspect us. After an hour's wait, he enme out ; must have been sore because be wasn't going with us. . The quartermaster sergeant Issued us two days' rations. In a little white canvas ration bag, which we tied to onr belts. Then two motor lorries came along and we piled In, laughing, Joking, and In the best of spirits. We even loved the Germans, we' were feeling so happy. ( Our Journey to seven days' bliss In , OUghty bad commenced. i The ride In the lorry lasted about ! two boors; by this time we were cov- i ered with floe, white dust from the 1 road, but dldat tnlad, even if we were nearly choking, r, At the railroad station at F we reported to an officer, who bad a white band around his arm, which read "It T. O." (Royal Transportation Officer). To us this officer was Hants Claua. The sergeant In charge showed him our orders; be glanced through them and said : "Make yourselves comfortable-oa the platform and don't leave; the train is liable to be along In five minutes or five hours." t came In five hours, a string of eleven match boxes on big, high wheels, drawn by a dinky little engine wltb the "con." These match boxes war cattle cars, on the sides of. which was .painted the old familiar sign, "Botnmes 40. Chrraox 67 The B. T. O. stuck ns all into one car. i We didn't care; It was as good as a Pullman to us. Two days we spent on that train. bumping, stopping. Jerking ahead, and sometimes sliding back. At three sta tions we stopped long enough to make soma tea, but were unable to wash, so when we arrived at B , where we were to embark for BJIgb.tr,, we were as black as Turcot and, with our un shaven faces, we looked like a lot of tramps. Though tired out, we were happy. Wa bad packed np, preparatory to detraining, when iR.T.0. held np his nandt for us to stop where we were and ame over. This is what be said: Doys, im sorry, bnt orders have just been, received cancelling all leave. If yon bad been three hours earlier you would have gotten away. Just stsy in that train, as tt la going back. Rations will be Issued to yon for your return Downey to jour respective stations. Beastly rotten, I know." - Then be lea dead silence resulted.
