thie yery nice-looking, overenthust-
axtlc young thing, stopped at my bed ,
and awked, "U'hnt wounded you In the
faceT"
In a polite but bored tone I an
swered. "A rifle bullet."
With a liMik of disdain ahe passed ,
to the next bed. Drat ejaculating, "Ob! j
Only a bullet? I thought It waa a
shell." Why she should think a shell j
wound was more of a dlxtlnctlon bents
me. I don't sec a whole lot of differ
ence myself.
The American Women's War hospi
tal was a henvea for wounded men. j
They were allowed every privilege pos
sible conducive with the rules snd mili
tary discipline. The only fault was
that the men's posses were restricted.
To get a puss required an act of par
liament. Tommy tried uinuy tricks to
get out. but the commnndunt, an old
llocr wur otllcer, was wlso to them all,
and It took a new and clever ruse to
i make hliu affix his signature to the
coveted slip of puler.
As soon as It would get (lark many a
patient cIIiiiImmI over the wall and went
"on his own." reKunllf of many !'i
aiming hliu In Ihe fnce, "Out of hounds
for piilleiits." Ccnerally the nurnea
were looking tho other wny when one
of these niclit rulds starteil. I hope
this Information will get none of them
Into trouble, but I cannot resist the
temptation to let the commandant
know that occaxlnnnlly wc put It over
on him.
One afternoon I received a note,
through our underground ctiunnel, from
uiy female visitor, asking me to attend
a party at her house that nU'hL I
answered that she could viect uie and
to meet me at a certain place m the
Mud well known by all patients, and
some visitors, aa "over the wall." I
told her I would be on hand at seven
thirty. About seven-fifteen I sneaked my
oven-out and rap out of the ward and
hid It lu the bushes. Then I told the
nurse, a particular friend of mine, that
I waa going for a walk In the rw gar
den, rihe winked and I knew that ev
erything waa all right on her end.
Going nut of tho ward, I sllpiied Into
the bushes and muile for the wulL It
waa dark as pitch and I was groping
through the underbrush, when sudden
ly I stcpM-d Into space and felt myself
rushing downward, a horrible bump,
aud blackness. When I cauio to my
wounded shoulder was hurting horri
bly. I was lying against a circular
wull of bricks, dripping with moisture,
and fur away I could hear the trickling
of water. 1 bad In the darkness fallen
Into an old disused well. Hut why
wasn't I ct? According to all rules
1 should have been drowned. Perhaps
I waa and didn't know It.
As the shock of my suddco stop
gradually wore off It came to me that
1 was lying on a ledge and tha the
least movement on uiy part would pre
cipitate me to the bottom of the well,
1 struck a watch. In Its faint glare
I aaw that I waa lying in a circular
bole atxiut twelve feet deep the well
had iM-en filled In I The dripping I bad
heurd cuuie from a water pip over on
uiy right
With my wounded ahouldor It was
luiKMslble to shinny up the pip. I
could not yell for help, because the
rescuer would wsut to know bow the
acctdcut happened, and I would be
baled before tb commandant oa
charge. 1 just bad to grin and bear
It. with the forlorn hope that on of
the returning ulght raider would pass
and I cuuld give trim our usual signal
of "slss-e-s-s," which would bring blia
to the rescue.
Kvery half hour I could hear the
clock lu the village strike, each stroke
bringing forth a muffled volley of
cuim-4 on the man Who bad dug the
well.
After two hours X heard twe tuea
larking in low Vol res. recognised
Corporal Conk, an ardent "night raid
er." He heard my "slse-e-e-a" and
ram to the edge of the hole. I ex
plained my predicament and amid lot
of Impertinent remarks, which at the
tlm 1 did not resent, I was soon fished
out
Taking off our boot, we sneaked Into
the ward. I was sitting on my bed In
th dark. Just starting to undress,
when the man next to me. "til niter"
Ihlllla. whispered. " 'Op It, Tank, 'ere
come th matron."
I Immediately got ander the covers
and feigned aleep. The matron stood
talking in low tone to th night nurse
and I fell asleep.
When I awoke In the morning the
night sister, an American, waa bending
over me. An awful sight met my eye.
The coverlet on the bed and the aheel
were a mass of mud and green slime.
She was a good sport all right, ami
hustled to get clean clothes and sheets
so that no one would get wlae, but "on
her own" she gar tne a good tongue
lashing but did not report me. One of
the Canadians In the ward dcacrthi-d
her as being "a Jak of a good fel
low."
Next visiting day I had an awful
time explaining to my visitor why I
bad not met her at th appointed time
and place.
And for a week every time I passed
a patient he would call, "Well, well,
here's the Tank. Hop you are feel
ing well, old top."
The surgeon la our ward was an
American, a Harvard nnlt man, named
FY.miL We nicknamed him "Jnck
Frost." lie was loved by alt If a
Tommy was to be rut op be had no ob
jection to undergoing the operation If
"Jack Frosf was to wield the knife.
Their confidence In him was pathetic,
lie was the best sport I have ever met
One Saturday morning the commnnd
ant snd some "high up" officers were
Inspecting the ward, when one of the
pstlents who had been wounded In the
bead by a bit of Shrapnel, fell on the
floor In a fit They brought hint round,
and then looked for the ward orderly
to carry the patient back to his bed
at the other end of th ward. The or
derly waa nowhere to he found like
our pollceux n. they never are when
needed. The ntneers were at a loss
how to get Palmer Into bis bed. Doc
tor Frost was fidgeting around In a
nervous manner, vthen suddenly with
a mullled d u and a few other
qualifying adjective... be stootM-d down
ami took the man In his arms like a
hnby he was no feather, clthei and
staggered down the ward with him, put
him In bed and undressed him. A low
murmur of approval came from the pa
tient. Doctor Frost got very rsl, and

More than one some poor soldier
has been brought Into tbe ward In a
dying condition, resulting from lose of

an examination the doctor announce
that the only thing that will ssve him

Whenever bone la needed for some!

men willing to give some a leg II

from being crippled for life. More
than on man will go through life with
a Dot her man's blood running through

Tb spirit of sa critic Is wonderful. '
For all the suffering caused this war
I a bleaalng to England It ha made ,

And I can't help saying that the doc
tors, sisters, and nurse In the English
hospitals, are angel on earth. I love
them all and can never repay tb cars
and klndneea shown to me. For the
rest of my Ufa the Red Cross will be
to me tb symbol of Faith, Hop and
Charity.
After four months la, tb hospital,
went before an examining board and
wa dlacbarged from tbe service of his

After my discharge I engaged pass

of early dawn, I aaw tb statu ot lib

wondered If ever again I would go
"over tbe top with tb beat of luck

And even then, though It may seem
strange, I was really sorry not to b
