MONKEYS IN THEIR NATIVE wilds show cleverness The nature and character of the monkey are not changed by any train ing that lie may receive. All the little tricks (hat may he taught hiin in cap tivity will add little to what he Is accustomed to practice in his wild state. The chief difference to him is 1 that he has a different set of victims to torment. Those who have had a ; chance to watch the rascals in their ; native wilds and native wiidness find ! them up to the same mischievous ; pranks they play In captivity, ι Kvery little while our expedition I passed under trees occupied by troops . of monkeys, some of them of the large ■ kind that had given the explorers , much trouble on a former occasion. J One largo tree in which they had es . tablislu'd their quarters stretched its , branches over a stream twenty yards I or more. it (uiv inc icnuri ui iuc rAjnuinuu ι was watching the afttlcs of the mon keys, two crocodiles showed their heads Just underneath and remained •tatlonary with their ugly snouts sticking up In t:he nlr. In various countries this Is β common dodge of the crocodiles to entice the monkeys within their reach, and It was ex pected by the witnesses of this Inci dent that one or more of the noisy animals would fall victims to the goggle-eyed monsters below, and It was with considerable curiosity that the result was awaited. As soon as the black-looking heads popped up the monkeys became silent. Presently one big fellow, evidently of authority In the monkey republic, came down to roconnolter. He re turned, and in a few minutes came back with a long, thin stick In his hand and accompanied by about a hundred of his friends. They began to chatter and to pelt their foes, but the crocodiles took no notice. The onlookers thougnt they seemed to give a wink of satisfaction at seeing their silly victims coming withiu their reach. Nearer and nearer they came, until some of them were barely sir feet above the crocodiles, and the men watching were expecting every Instant to see ono of them dragged under the water. All of a sudden the monkey with the stick leaned over and drove It Into the eye of the crocodile nearest him. The wounded reptile sunk like lead and was quickly followed by Its comrade.

He was on duty with his platoon in the flre trench one after noon when orders came up from the rear that he bad been 3ranted seven days' leave for Blighty, and would be relieved at five o'clock to proceed to England. He was tickled to death at these welcome tidings and regaled his more or less envious mates beside him on the flre step with the good times In store for him. He figured it out that In two days' time he wceld nrrlve at Waterloo station, London, and then— seven days' bliss I At about five minutes to five he started to fidget with his rifle, and then suddenly springing up on the flre step with » muttered, "I'll send over ι couple of souvenirs to Frit/, io that he'll miss mo when I leave," he stuck [lie rifle over the top and fired two shots when "crack" went a bullet and ho Lewli Gun in Action. urobled off the step, fell Into the mud t the bottom of the trench, and lay till In a huddled heap with a bullet ole In hie forehead. A' about the time he exported to ar Ive at Waterloo station he was lnld j rest In a little cemetery behind the nes. He had gone to Blighty. In the trenches one can never tell— Is not safe to plnn very far ahead. After "stand down" the men sit on lie fire step or repair to their respec Ive dugouts and wait for the "rum ls ue" to materialize. Immediately fol jwlng the rum comes breakfast, rought up from the rear. Sleeping Is lien lu order unless some special work urns up. Around 1?:30 dinner shows up. Vhen this is eaten the men try to muse themselves until "tea" appears t about four o'clock, then "stand to" nd they carry on as before. While In rest billets Tommy gets up bout six In the morning, washes up, nswers roll call, Is Inspected by hla ilatoon officer, and has breakfast. At :45 he parades (drills) with his com iany or goes on futlgue nccordlng to he orders which have been read out iy the orderly sergeant the night pre lous. Between 11:30 and noon he Is dls otssed, has his dinner and Is "on hie iwn" for the remainder of the day, inli'ps he has clicked for a digging or corking party, nnd so It goes on from lay to day, always "looping the loop" ind looking forward to peace and illghty. Sometimes, while engaged In a cootie" hunt, you think. Strange to ay, but It Is a fact, while Tommy Is earclilng his shirt serious thoughts :ome to him. Many a time, when per ornilng tills operation. I have tried ο figure out the outcome of the war ind what will happen to me. My thoughts generally ran In this hannel : Will I emerge safely from the next tttack? If I do will I skin through the ollowlng one, and so on7 While your nlnfl Is wondering Into the future It s likely to be rudely brought to earth >y a Tommy Interrupting with, "What's ;ood for rheumatism?" Then you linve something else to hlnk of. Will you come out of tills var crippled and tied Into knots with henmatlsm, caused by the wet nnd nud of trenches and dugouts? Tou jlvc It up as a bnd Job and generally saunter over to the nearest estaminet :o drown your moody forebodings In a {lass of sickening French beer or to :ry your luck at the always present faîne of "house." Tou can hear the ilng-song voice of a Tommy droning )ut the numbers as he extracts the llttlo squares of cardboari from the jag between his feet. CHAPTER XI. Over the Top. On my second trip to the trenches our offlcer was making his rounds of Inspection, and we received the cheer ful news that at four in the morning w· were to go over the top and take the Oerman front-line trench. My heart turned to lead. Then the offlcer car ried on with hla Instructions. To the best of my memory I recall them as follow· i "At «levfft «, firing party w(U go ont in rront and cut lnnes through our barbed wire for the passage of troops In the morning. At two o'clock our artillery will open up with an In tense bombardment, wh'ch will last un til four. Upon the lifting of the bar rage the first of the three waves will go over." Then he left. Some of the Tommies, first getting permlaelon from the sergeant, went Into the machine gunners' dugout and wrote letters home, saying that In the morning they were going over the top, and also that If the letters reached their destination It would mean that the writer had been killed. These letters were turned over to , the captnla with Instructions to mall ; same in the event of the writer's being killed. Some of the men made out their wills In their pay books, under ! the caption, "Will and Last Testa I ment," Then the nerve-racking wnlt com menced. Every now and then I would ; glnnce at the dlnl of my wrist watch and was surprised to see how fast the minutes passed by. About five minutes to two I got nervous waiting for our guns to open up. I could not take my eyes from my watch. I crouched η gainst the parapet and strained my muscles In a deathlike grip upon my rifle. As the hunds on my watch showed two o'clock a blinding red flare lighted up the sky In our rear, then thunder, Intermixed with a sharp, whis tling sound In the air over our heads. The shells from our guns were speed I Ing on their way toward the Qerman : Unes. With one accord the men ι sprang Dp on the fire step and looked ! over tha top In the direction of the German trenches. A line of bursting 1 shells lighted up No Man's Land. The din was terrific and the ground trem bled. Then, high above our heads we could hear a sighing moan. Our big boys behind the line had opened up and 9.2's and 13-lnch shells commenced dropping Into the German Unes. The flash of the guns behind the lines, the scream of the shells through the air, and the flare of them, bursting, was a spectacle that put Pain's greatest dis play Into the shade. The constant pup, pup, of German machine guns and an occasional rattle of rifle firing gave me the Impression of a huge audience applauding the work of the batteries. Our 18-pounders were destroying the German barbed wire, while the heavier Î stuff was demolishing their trenches ! and bashing In dugouts or funk holes. Then Fritz got busy. Their shells went «creaming: over head, aimed In the direction of the flares from our batteries. Trench mor tars started dropping "Minnies" in our front Une. We clicked several cas ualties. Then they suddenly ceased. Our artillery had taped or silenced them. During tie bombardment yon could almost read a newspaper In our trench. Sometimes In the flrro of a shell-burst a man's body would be silhouetted against the parados of the trench and It appeared like a huge monster. You could hnrdly hear yourself think. When an order was to be passed down the trench you had to yell It, using your hands as a funnel Into the ear of the man sitting next to you on the fire step. In about twenty minutes a generous rum Issue was doled out. After drink ing the rum, which tasted like varnish and sent η shudder through your frame, you wondered why they made you wait until the lifting of the bar rage before going over. At ten min utes to four word was passed down, "Ten minutes to go I" Ten minutes to live I We were shivering all over. My legs felt as If they were asleep. Then word was passed downs "First wave get on and near the scaling lad ders." These were email wooden ladders which we had placed against the para pet to enable us to go over the top on the lifting of the barrage. "Ladders of death" we called them, and veritably they were. Before a charge Tommy Is the po litest of men. There Is never any push· lng or crowding to be first up these ladders. We crouched around the base of the ladders waiting for the word to go over. I was sick and faint, and was puffing away at an unllghted fag. Then came the word, "Three minutes to go; upon the lifting of the barrage and on the blast of the whistles, 'Over the top with the best o' luck and give them hell.' " The famous phrase of the western front. The Jonah phrase of the western front. To Tommy It means If you are lucky enough to come back yon will be minus an arm or α leg. Tommy hates to be wished the best of luck ; so, when peace Is de clared, If It ever Is, and you meet a Tommy on the street. Just wish him the best of luck and duck the brick that follows. I glanced again at my wrist watch. We all wore them and you could hardly call ue "sissies" for doing so. It was a minute to four. I could see the hand move to the twelve, then a dead si lence. It hurt. Everyone looked up to seo what had happened, but net for long. Sharp whistle blasts rang out ι along the trench, and with a cheer the I men scrambled up the ladders. The I bullets were cracking overhead, and occasionally a machine gun would rip and tear the top of the sandbag para pet. How I got up that ladder I will never know. The first ten feet out In front was agony. Then we passed through lanes In our barbed wire, I knew I was running, but could feel no motion below the waist. Patches on the ground seemed to float to tb· rear as M I were on a treadmill an4 ssea «Ζ jruahine past me. (Ta fee Continued.)
