I SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE ! WITH EMPEY ; By Arthur Guy Empey (Continued 1 The English ■The Lion Lion was roaring, and his growls Growls c ° uld , be hea j; d all along the ~~~ Western Front. No doubt many a German general was stirring uneasily in his large concrete shell-proof dugout, kilos behind the German front line, as the ever-increasing thundering roar reached his ears. We had a close-up view of IBs Majesty, ,tho King of Beasts, and to us he was a sorry looking specimen. Patches of hide were worn away, while in his tail were two big knots, if these knots had have been lab eled it would have been easy to read "Neuve Chapellc" and "Gallipoli." The memory and pain of these two disasters no doubt increased the in tensity of his thunder. The British bombardment of the German lines was on. a bombard ment which lasted over eight days and nights. It was the forerunner of the Big Push, or Battle of the Somme. Atwell and I were sitting in a dug out of the support trench. Atwell was a great, big, lovable fellow, and was my mate. We both had been detailed to the Divisional Intelligence Department, and were engaged upon "spy work." Atwell, although of a naturally cheery disposition, occasionally re lapsed into fits of despondency. Joints Swollen; Woman Limped Relief Camp, However, From Tor-1 turcs She Vsed to Dread So badly were the joints and limbs j of Mrs. Mary Gardener, of Palmyra, I near Harrisburg. swollen, that "she walked with a limp. "1 suffered terribly from rheuma-i tism," she said, "and my limbs and joints, were badly swollen. I also i had awful pains in rny arms and 1 shoulders. 1 was quite constitpated and my stomach was in bad shape, i I had headaches often and was all run down. 1 saw the Tanlac ad and went to talk with the Tanlac man. I bought a bottle of Tanlac I and all j need to say about the won ders it has accomplished is that 11 now walk without a limp; can do; my own housework without the I slightest trouble or pain and have; ceased to worry about the tortures 1 I used to dread." Tanlac now is being specially in- ' t reduced and explained in Harris- j burg at the George Gorgas drug store. 1 Tanlae is also sold at the Gorgas Drug Store in the P. R. R.

In the light from a stump of a i candle I was making out my pre vious day's report to turn into Brig i ade Headquarters. Occasionally the 1 entrance to the dugout would light • up with a red glare as a shell burst in the near vicinity. Atwell was sit ting on his pack, with his back lean ! ing against the wet and muddy wall ; of the dugout. The rays from tile i candle lighted up his face. ' Finishing my report, I got out a "fag," lighted it, and with an uneasy i feeling listened to the roar of the ' hell outside. A long-drawn sigh caused me to look in Atwell's direc tion. Never in my life have I seen such a dejected and woebegone countenance. This, in a way, an gered me, because I, myself, right then, had a feeling of impending disaster, a sort of unknown dread, perhaps intermingled with a far away longing for the fields and flow ers at home. I wanted to be -cheer ed. and Atwell's face looked like a morgue. Forcing a smile I slapped Atwell on the knee and said: "Come out o' your trance. We've both got a good chance for Blighty with this bombardment on." Atwell looked in my direction, and in a tone of voice which from him ! I had never heard before, answered: I "Tank, I've been out since 'H- I've buried many a mate and I've seen many a lucky bloke on a stretcher bound for Blighty, and I never gave it a thought, but right| now I feel as if my stay in the j ! trenches will be short. I've had { something on my mind since Sep-! tember, 1914, and it's been worrying! jmo pink. I'm goin' to tell you tlie| siory, and I'll give you my oath that j I you're the first one that's ever heard! i it from my lips; but I've got to have J | your promise that you'll not judge j i me too harshly. I've just got to get) I it out o' my system." Just then a sighing moan could be i heard overhead. It was one of our! "nine-point-two" shells aimed in the I I direction of Berlin. We both in-j ! stinetively turned our eyes toward the entrance of the dugout and wait ied for the burst. Nothing happen ed "Another bioomin' dud," ejaculat- j jed Atwell. "A few more hundred! pounds gone to seed," and then again j : the gloomy look spread over his! ! countenance. I was getting nervous | and uneasy. Trying to hide my fear j I said: "For th' love o' Mike, Atwell, ! crack a smile. Give us that story ! of yours, or else I'll go bughouse, i You had better get it off your chest, ' because I'm thinking that Fritz will j soon be replying to our strafoing, i | and if an eight-inch shell ever hits| ! this dugout they'll need no wooden t | crosses for us, because our names will appear under the caption 'Miss- , ing.' " With another sigh escaping from his lips, which sent a cold shiver upj and down my spinal column, hei lighted a fag and started in. This is! what he told me: "It was back in | My Mate's September, 1914, You know I came Story out with the tir^t' * hundred thous-1 ———— and, the time | when all the fighting was done in, tlie open. The Germans werej smashing everything ' before them , in their drive on Paris. Our regi ment was one of the few opposed to Von Kluck. It was a case oi hold' them for a few hours and then re-, treat—always retreat. We didn't even have time to bury our dead., The grub was rotten, and we tvere just about fagged out, dead tired, with no prospect of a relief or rest I in front of us. "It was customary for small pa trols of ten to twenty men, in charge of a sergeant, to reconnoitre on our flanks. One day I was sent out in charge of one of these parties. Oh, yes, I was a sergeant then, but I lost my stripes—disobedience of orders they called it. I suppose I ought to feel lucky 1 wasn't shot, but I'll leave it to you whether I did right or not. "At that time 1 was in for a com mission, but, of course, didn't get it. If I had received it, no doubt by tills I time I'd be pushing up the daisies, j somewhere in France. In those | ; < ' a s' a officers didn't last long—made I line targets for the Boches. 1 "This patrol I was in charge ef carried rations for three days. We were to scout around just in front I ot the advancing enemy, but -jur or i ders v/ere not to engage them —just j get information. If the information! obtained was valuable enough, 1 wasi I to send it in by one of the men. There were fourteen of us, and wjl were mounted. I was in the Lancers then, and'was considered a fair rid er. "The first day nothing happened. We just scouted around. By night fall we were pretty tired, so when we came to a village—wasn't a vil lage either; just five or six houses clustered around a church—l decid ed to go into billets for the night. "Riding up to the largest house, which had a four-foot stone wall i running around its garden, I dis-' mounted at the gate 'and knocked i with the hilt of my sword. Pretty soon a light appeared at the front door—the house was on a sort of a knoll, so this door was in plain view. Then the sweetest voice I tones, in perfect English, too, but ever heard called out in trembling with just the suspicion of an accent. I " 'Who is there, please?' "I answered, 'Just a few English' Lancers who desire a place to rest I for the night. The barn will do, I We don't want anything to eat, as we have rations with us. So if you I will accommodate us, miss, T will be much obliged.' I was in love! vith the girl before I saw her —the voice had done the trick. "She answered, 'Just a moment, | p!ease, until I tell father,' and then! the door shut and the light disap- i peered. We didn't have to wait! long before tlie door opened, and •she called to me: "'Father bids you welcome, and I so do I, soldiers of England.' "Then she opened the gate. There she stood on the gravel path with | the lantern held shoulder high. 1 trembled all over—thought I saw a Vision. I tell you, Yank, she was beautiful. One of the kind you would like to take in your arms, butj won't for fear of crushing. No u.s for me to try to describe her, Yank, I it's out of my line; but she cap-! tured me, heart and soul. There 11 fjtood like a great big boob, shaking j and stuttering. At last I managed to blurt out a stammering 'Thank you, miss.' "She showed us the way to the stables, and stood in the door hold ing tlie lantern so we could see to! unsaddle. I was fumbling around with the buckles, but for the life; of me couldn't get that saddle off.! One of the men, with a wink and i a broad grin, came over and helped I me. That grin got my goat, so, on the My, I kicked him on the shin. He let out an explosive 'Damn.' Afto.- tat 'camn' the silence was painful. The poor fellow felt like a fool. I was sorry for him, even though I could have killed him for his thoughtfulnesn. Put out embar rassment was short-lived, because a silvery laugh came from behind the lantern, a laugh that was not loud, but it echoed and re-eohoej among! the rafters overhead. 1 can hear it right now, Yank. "After the horses had been un saddled and fed, tlie men looked ap pealingly at me. I knew what theyl wanted—they were dog tired, anil dying to hit the hay. Just as I wasi about to ask permission for tlier.i toj turn in, the angel butted in with: "'Poor, tired soldiers, sleepy and hungry. Come right into the house. Jean has some suppor and wine ready for you.' "We stammered our thanks and followed her into the house like a string of sheep. Yanlc, to me that meal was a dream. She flitted around the table. Tilling a gtass here and there, laughing with us, and making us feel at home. The war was forgotten. By this time I was madly in love with her, and she knew it, because when she leaned over my shoulder to replenish my glass with red wine, har hair would brush my check, and once she rested her hand on my shoulder and gave it just the slightest squeeze. I was in heaven. "It was getting late, and the wine was beginning to tell on tlie men. They were falling asleep in their chairs. I had a hard job waking four of them to go on guard. Tlieyl fot. their rifles and were s'anding round me for instructions, when our hostess came over to me, and, resting her hand on my arm, with again the slightest of squeezes and pleading eyes, interceded for them. " 'Sergeant,"'she said, 'let the poor boys sleep. They are so tired. There is no danger. The Germans ere miles away. I kno wtliis to be true. Do this for me," And again that squeeze. "I, like a fool, listened to her, and gave an unwilling assent. The men lobked their gratitude. Jean, the manservant, led them out to the barn, where an abundance of hj.y had been spread for their beds. I was following, when a whisper in my ear made my head swim: " 'Don't go yet, my sergeant, *,tay with me.' "I stayed, worse luck.
