Whoever thinks that l the trenches
aro occupied by 1:11111. silent men with
jaws hard set. has boon rending soldier
stories written fiom the roar. Such
somborness is not in the nature of the
tliorous:hbr< ' recular. Mr. Thomas At
kins. He take?- things as they conic?
and a lot of them come, shells, as
phyxiating pas. bulb'ts and bombs.
Th> : is .1 lot to In thankful f?>r.
Tiie ? Ing's < >w ? Particular Fusiliers,
as ?? shall .-all them, had oul> three
men in' yesterdaj The\ were enjoy
ing a peaceful holiday. A grand old
regiment, the K. O. P. !?*., with the
storming of Quehec and the relief of
Ladysmith among its honors. Ever to_
again that it had a reputation to
live up is banal. The brightest page
in its history was at the second battle
of Ypres. And if you wish to moot
some real heroes here, they are in plain
khaki among the survivors of that
battle, manning a deep ditch in Mother
Earth
Only don't tell them they are heroes.
They will deny 11 011 the evidence of
themselves as eyewitnesses <?f the ac
tion. The fact that they deny it is the
host proof perhaps that they are. To
remark thai the K O. 1'. F. are brave
is like remarking that water flows
down hill. It's their business to be
brave. Why talk about it?
.NOT \T V I.I. I M.I'C'K \ .
I II OS I '. T1IUEI-: MKN
Not at all unlucky, those three men
who were hit. One was killed. Well,
everybody in this war expects that he
may bo killed. The other two "got,
tickets for England. ' My Lady will !
tiiki them joy-riding in h?-r automobile
and so.it them in easy chairs, arrang
ing the cushions comfortably with her
own hands, and fee* 1 them slices of cold
chicken in place of bully beef, and
strawberries and cream i:: place of
ration marmalade?oh. my: "What
hopes."
Mr. Atkins does not mind being a 1
hero for the purpose of such treat - !
ment. Then, with never a twinkle in i
his eye he will tell My Lady that he :
does not want to return to the front: |
he has had enough of it, ho has. My
Lady's: patriotism will bo a little
shocked, as Mr. Atkins knows it will
be; and she will wonder if the "stick ;
it" quality of the Hritish soldier is i
weakening, for. as Mr Atkins knows I
that she will. Mr. Atkins has more j
kinks in his mental methods than mere
nobility ever guesses, and lie is having
the lime of his life in more respects
than strawberries and cream. What
hopes. Of course, ho will return, and
hold on in th" :'a e of all the fJermans
can give without an> pretense to j
bravery.

Elevation cives snipers, who .-ire al- (
ways trained shots, an angle of ad
va Tit age. In winter they had to rely
: on buildings. whleh often came tum
) bllng down with them when hit by a
! shell. The foliage of summer is a
i blessing to their craft.
"Ones it look to you that there is an
I opening in the branches of that tree?
I the big one at the right?"
In the mass of preen leaves a dark
'spot was visible, it might be natural
' or it might be a space cut away for
i the swing of a rifle barrel. Perhaps
j sitting tip there snugly behind a bullet- J
i proof shield fastened to the limb was
la (iernian sharpshooter watching for:
a shot with the patience of a hound
? for a rabbit to come out of its hole. ^
"It's about time we nave that tree j
j a spray, pood for that kind of fun." ?
A bullet coming our side swept (
j overhead. One of our own sharp- i
i shooters had seen something to shoot j
at "Not giving you much excite- 1
nient," said Tommy.
The real oMitenieiit. when it comes. '
I does not last long. A bath of shells j
1 on a trench and a charge to take it? j
I that is real excitement. If it kept up
| coutinually, there would not be many !
, soldiers left in either army. Where 1
j would you find the shells and cart- .
ridges for such a hell?
"1 suppose I'd pet a little excitement I
maybe if I stood up on the parapet?" j
1 asked. I
"You would get a. ticket for England;
you'd pet. a box."
"There's a cemetery Just hack of the !
lines, * it" you'd prefer to stay in i

?TOKH WITH DEATH I
I had passed that cemetery with its
fresh wooden crosses on my way to '
the trench. These tender-hearted !
living soldiers, who jok<> with death. ;
have placed flowers on those graves of
fallen comrades and bought elaborate
French burial wreathes with their j
meager pay. which Is another side of
, Mr. Thomas Atkins. There's sentiment
: in liim. Yes. he's loaded with it.
1 "Keep your head down there," called
I a corporal. "I don't want to be taking
Ian inventory of your kit. Mr. Games."
j Eames did not realize his head was
I above the parapet. The hardest thing
t to teach a soldier is not to expose him
self. Otllcers repeat warnings ami
| forget to "practice what they preach."
That morning a soldier had been
shot through'the heart and arm, side- .
j ways, back of the trench. He had lain |
down there unnoticed for a snooze in 1
the sun, it was supposed. When ne ]
j awoke, presumably, he sat up and 1
! yawned, and llerr Schmidt from some i
' platform in a tree had put one more j
I name on the list of killed in the Kng- ;
j lish papers.
The next morning I saw the British 1
take their revenge. Some German, who j
thought he could not be seen in the '
midst of dawn, was walking along the '
German parapet. "What hopes" four
or five men took careful aim and fired. :
That dim figure collapsed in a way j
that was convincing.
As 1 swept the' line of German
trendies with glasses 1 saw a swisp
of a (lag clinging to its pole in the)
still air far down to the left. Flags i
are as unusual ahov< trenches as men j
standing up in full view of the enemy.)
Then a breeze caught the folds of lite j
flag and 1 saw that it was the tri
color of France.
"A Hoche joke." Tommy explained, j
"Probably they are hating the French
to-day."
"No, its 7.een there some days. They
want us to shoot at tin- flag of our
alls. They'd pel a laugh out of us?
regular a Hoche i<i?-.i of humor."
"if it were :i German flag." I sug
gested
?\\ hat hope?!' we'd make it into a

; tMi* war to themselves. It was <.11 f- j
? tlciilt to believe that if you stood on
I top <>f the parapet anybody would
; hoot :s t you?no not even If you walked
d<>w 11 the road that ran through the
wheat field, everything was so peace
ful. One grew sceptical of there being
any Germans in the trenches opposite.
"There's throe or four sharpshooters >
and a fat old Boche professor in spec- j
tucles. who moves a machine gun tip j
and down for a bluff."
"No. the old professor is the one that i
walks along of nights sending up I
Oares, munching K. K. broad with his '
' Malso teeth and singing the hymn of 1
hale.
Thus the talk ram on in the quiet j
of evening till one heard a concussion '
a quarter of a mile away behind a j
screen of trees. A pillar of smoke j
rose to the height of 200 or 300 feet.
"A miss." "In front of the?brigade." J
"Our or the Roches '"
"Ours from the way the smoke went I
?our fuse.'"
"No. the Germans."
Our colonel telephoned down to i
know if we knew whose men it was
und we asked him. The kiiiik from
both nidcs boRun to speak; and fron
tmdor the column of smoke ripped out
a chorus of rifles and machine Runs.
"Oh. yes. there were Germans in the
trenches and British, too?shots merged
.in the hissing medley of a little temp*
< st in a teapot."
"Not. enough guns?not enough noise
for an attack," snid the experienced
Tommy.
The commander of the adjoining
brigade telephoned to the division com
mander who .passed the word on
through to our colonel that the mine
was German?and had burst thirty
yards from the British trench, harm
lessly.
"ACter all, that dlgplng?wasting

"The Kaiser won't like it." said Tom
my "We exploded one under them
