This certainly Is evidence of the beneficial qualities of Warner's Safe Diabetes Remedy and more convincing than anything we could say. Head this: 'This letter is the best proof that I am still alive, your medicine Is a miracle to me. My weight was reduced from 157 to 114 pounds when I left the hospital. I left there AUK. 6th in despair. Hun dreds of people that knew me said I would never live to return to my studio. After leaving the hospital. I saw your "Ad" in the paper. I wicmjTrsnA v TrwimMCi. glasses on tho table, withdrew. We were alone. She toolc the bottlo, and pouring u glasH O f wine, touched It to her Hps and handed It to mo, with this toast: " 'Drink, my sergeant. Drink to our betrothal. Drink to the honor of France. Drink to the honor of England. Drink to the confusion of our enemies.' "I drank with my fool heart pounding against my ribs. Then blackness. , "When I awoke, I was lying on the settee, my head bursting with pain. Tho gray dawn was filtering through tho curtained windows, and there, In tho mlddlo of the room, with my Adrlenne In her arms, Btood a captain of Uhlans. I was a prisoner. 1 saw it all in a flash. She had betrayed me. Now I knew why sho had wanted no guard post ed. That wine we pledged our troth In was drugged. What an ass I had been! . "X closed my eyes and pretended to>be asleep. They were talking in German. Pretty soon the captain came over und roughly shook me. I only grunted. With an exclama tion of disgust he called out In Ger man. Two troopers came in, and, lifting me by the shoulders and feet, carried me out. into the air. X I slightly opened my eyes, and saw | that I was being carried out to the | gate, where two horses were stand- I ing with their reins thrown over a ! hitching post. By the equipment, X | knew one of the horses belonged to the captain, while tho other was the orderly's. The two troopers dumped me down on the road, one giving me a kick with his boot. I was lying on my left side, and by a certain hard pressure on my ribs I knew they had neglected to search tne. That pres sure was my automatic pistol. A | feeling of exultation rushed over | me. I would euchre them yet. "Fate worked Into my hands. A hail in German came from the stables, and one of the troopers left to answer it. The odds were even, one against one. I slowly turned over on my face, as If In sleep, and my fingers grasped the butt of the automatic, but just then I heard steps on the gravel walk. The cap tain and Adrlenne were coming to ward me. "She stopped beside me, and said in English: " lou poor, English fool! Make love to mo, will you? Good-by, my | foolish sergeant. While you are j rotting In prison, think of your Adrienne, bah!" "My hand gave . the butt of my autcmatic just tho slightest squeeze. I was thinking of her hand on my shoulder. Well, two could play that ! game. | "The captain said something to | the orderly, who left In the direction l of the house. Now was my chance, i Springing to my feet and leveling tho pistol at the captain, I grabbed the reins of his horse from the post | and mounted. The orderly came running toward me, yelling out In ' German, and I could see soldiers emerging from the stable. I had to , act quickly. "When I mounted, the captain jreached for his revolver. I covered Tiim with mine, and, with a shriek of 1 terror, Adrlenne threw herself In | front of tho Uhlan captain to pro | tect him. I saw her too late. My bullet pierced her left breast, and a red smudge showed on her white silk blouse as she sank to the ground. I shot the orderly's horse to prevent immediate pursuit, and then away on a mad gallop down the road. It was a long chase, but I escaped them. "The rest of my men were cap tured. At our headquarters, I had to lie like a trooper.

Just pasai me a fog, and take that look off your face." X gave him the clgaret, and with out a wo?d, went out of the dugout, und left him alone. X was thinking of Adrlenne. ————— Upon reaching Grrman tho trench I utrman paused In wonder and fright. Tho "Minnies" sky was alight with a red glare. ' The din was ter rible. A constant swishing and rush ing through the air, Intermingled with a sighing moan, gave testi mony that our batteries were syeat ing blood. The trench seemed to be rolling like a ship. X stood In awe. This bombardment of ours was something indescribable, and a shudder passed through me as X thought of the havoc and destruc tion caused In the German lines. At that moment I really pitied the Ger mans, but not for long, because sud denly hell seemed to burst loose l'lom the German lines as their ar tillery opened up. X could hear their "five-nines" screeching through the air and bursting in the artillery lines in our rear. .Occasionally a far-oft rum-rum-rump-rump-Crash: Xiru—u-nn-n-gg! could be heard as ono of their high callbered shells came over and burst in our reserve. X crouched against the parados, hardly able to breathe. While in this position, right overhead, every instant getting louder, came a Ger man shell—whlz-z-z! bang-g-g! X was blinded by the flash. Down I went, into the mud. Struggling to my feet in the red glare of the bom bardment, X saw that the traverse on my left had entirely disappeared. Covered with mud, weak and tremb ling, X could hear what sounded like far distant voices coming from the direction of the bashed-in traverse. "Blime me, get 'is bloomin' nap per outa the mud; 'e's chokln' to death. Pass me a bandage—tyke 'is bayonet fer a plint. Blime me, 'is leg Is smashed, not 'arf h'lt h'aint. Th' rest o' you blokes 'op it fer a stretcher. 'Ello, 'e's got another one —quick, a tourniquet, the poor bloke's a blecdin' to death. Quick, h'up against tho parapet, 'ere comes another." Whiz-z-z! Bang-g-g! Another flare, and once again I was thrown into the mud. I opened my eyes. Bending over me, shak ing me by the shoulder was Atwell. His voice sounded faint and tar away. Then I came to with a rush. "Blime me, Yank, that was a close one. Did it get you?" He helped me to my feet and I felt myself all over. Seeing I was all right, he yelled into my ear: "We've got to leg it out of 'ere. Fritz Is sure sendin' over 'whiz bangs' and 'Minnies.' Number 9 platoon in the next fire bay sure clicked it. About eighteen of them have gone West, Come on, we'll see it wc can do anything for the poor blokes." __________ We plowed on through the mud We Help and came Into With a the next fira bay. wnn a In th 9 Ught o£ Stretcher the' bursting shells an awful —— B ight met our eyes. The traversfes were bashed in, the fire step was gone, and in the parados was a hole that looked like a subway entrance. There was mud and blood all around. An officer of the ltoyal Army Medical Corps and several stretcher bearers were work ins like Trojans. We offered our aid. which was gladly accepted. E\ ery now and then, ducking as a "whiz-bang" or "Minnie" came over, we managed to get four of the wounded on the stretchers, and At well and X carried one to the rear to the First Aid Dressing Station. We passed the dugout which I had left but a few minutes before, or, at least what used to be the dugout, but now.all that could be seen was a caved-in mass of dirt; huge square cut timbers sticking out of the ground and silhouetted against the light from bursting shells, looking like huge giants. A shudder passed through me as I realized that If we had stayed in the dugout we would have now been lying fifteen to twen ty feet down, covered by that caved ln earth and wreckage. Atwell jerked his head in the di rection of the sniashed-ln dugout and, as was his wont, remarked: "How about that fancy report you were writing out a few minutes ago. Didn't X tell you that It never paid to make out reports in the front line? Xt's best to wait until you get to headquarters, because what's the use of wasting all that bally time when you're liable to be buried in a dugout?" Turning my head to listen to At well, X run plump into a turn In the trench. A shout came from the form on the stretcher: "Why in the 'bloody 'ell don't you , blokes look where, you're agoln'? ! You'd think this "was a bloomin' i Picadilly buss, and 1 was out with j my best girl on a joy-ride." I mumbled iny apologies and the form relapsed into silence. Then the muddy Tommy on the stretcher began to mumble. Atwell asked him if he wanted anything. With a howl of rage, he answered: "Of all the bloody nerve—do X want anything—only a bloody pair o' crutches, a dish of "Hsh and chips' and a glawss of stout." When we came to the First Aid Dressing Station we turned our charge over to some R. A. M. C. men, and ducking and running through the communication trench, we at last reached one of the roomy and safe "Elephant Dugouts." At Jast we were sale. Stumbling over the feet of men we came to an un occupied corner and sat down in the straw. Several candles were burning. Grouped around these candles were a lot of Tommies, their faces pale and a frightened look in their eyes. Strange to say, the conversation had nothing to do with themselves. They were sympathizing with the poor fellows in the Front Line who were clicking it. I must have dropped off to sleep. When I awoke It was morning and after drinking our tea and eating our bread and bacon, Atwell and I reported to Brigade Headquarters, and were again detailed into the Front Line Trench.'
