The nest day the battullon took over tbolr trt of the trenches. It happened to be a very quiet day. The artillery behind the lines waa atlll, except fur an occaHlunul ahell sent over to let the OiTiimna know the gunners war not BkU'cp. In the darkness, In single file, the conipnny alowly wended their, way down the communication trench to the front line. No one noticed Lloyd'a white and drawn face. After they bad relieved the company In the trenches, Lloyd, with two of the old company men, waa put on guard In one of the traverses. Not a abot waa fired from the German lines, and no one paid any attention to blin crouched on the firing stop. On the first time In, a new recruit Is not required to stand with bla bead "over the top." lie only "alte It out," While the older men keep watch. At about ten o'clock, all of a audden, he thought bell bad broken loose, and crouched and shivered up against the parapet. Shells started bursting, as be Imagined, right In their trench, when In fact tbey were landing about a hun dred yards In rear of them, In the sec ond lines. One of the older men on guard, turn- I n a Ia hfa mil. .a 1 "There goes Frits with those d d trench mortars again. It'a about time our artillery taped' them, and sent over a few. Well, I'll be d d, where'a that blighter of a draft man gone to? There's bis rifle leaning against the parapet. He must have legged It. Just keep your eye peeled, Dick, while I report It to the sergeant I wonder If the fool knows be can be shot for such tricks as leavtn' bis postf Lloyd had gone. When the trench mortars opened up, a maddening ter ror seized him and he wanted to run, to get away from that horrible din, anywhere to safety. 80 quietly sneak ing around the traverse, he came to the entrance of a communication trench, and ran madly and blindly down It, running Into traversee, stumbling Into muddy holes, and falling full length over trench grids. Groping blindly, with his arms stretched out In front of him, he at Inst canie out of the trench Into the village, or what used to be a village, before the flerraan artillery rased It. Mixed with his fear, he had a pe culiar sort of cunning,, which whis pered to him to avoid all sentries, be cause If they saw him he would be sent back to that awful destruction In the front line, and perhaps be killed or maimed. The thought made him shudder, the cold sweat coming out In beads on his, face. On his left. In the darkness, he could make out the shadowy forms of trees ; crawling on his hands and knees, stop ping and crouching with fear at each shell-burst, he finally reached an old orchard and cowered at the base of a shot-scarred apple tree. He remained there all night, listen ing to the sound of the guns ond ever praying, praying that bis useless life would be spared. As dawn began to break, he could discern little dark objects protruding from the ground all about him. Curi osity mastered his fear and he crawled to one of the objects, and there, In the uncertain light, he read on a little wooden cross: "Pte. n. S. Wheaton, No. 1070, 1st London Begt. R. F. Killed In action. April 25, 1916. R. L P." (Rest In Peace). When It dawned on blm that he had been hiding all night In a cemetery his reason seemed to leave him, and a mad desire to be free from It all made hlra rush madly away, falling over lit tle wooden crosses, smashing some and trampling others under his feet. In his flight he came to an old French dugout, half caved In and par tlaljy filled with slimy and filthy wa ter. Like a fox being chased by the hounds, he ducked Into this nolo, and threw himself on a pile of old empty sandbags, wet and mildewed. Then unconsciousness. On the next day, he came to-f far distant voices sounded In his ears. Opening his eyes, In the entrance of the dugout he saw a corporal and two TMt Atf timet h tW Inin "i .

They took him before th captain, but could get nothing out of him but : Tor Clod's sake, air, don't have ma shot, don't have me shot 1" The captain, utterly disgusted with him, sent him under escort to division headquarters for trial by court-martial, charged with desertion tinder fire. They shoot deserter In France. During his trial, Lloyd sat as one dazed, and could put nothing forward In hi defense, only aa occasional "Don't have m abot I" His sentence was passed: "To be shot at 8 :38 o'clock In the morning of Muy 18, 1010."

The sentry, seeing that he ate noth ing, came inside and shook him by the shoulder, saying In a kind voice: "Cheero, Inddle, better eat some thing. You'll feel better. Don't give np hpe.
