Holdiit%it at arm's length. he thus addressed it : "No, my dear. you are not going order the seat. You are going to travel with me." Thereupon. he drew the cork and took a deep draught. Then he took another. With a sigh of content- ment he replaced the cork and put the bottle close to his safe. They might have ne been deaf and tur�to stone for all the notice the other Tommies taok of him. But as he looked around he caught my eye. With an engaging smile he said. Is this the train to pres?"

The train drew up at Crewe. "Is this Ypres?" he asked. raising his head. "Crewe." I answered. He• dozed off again. and fell lite a profound slumber. At last we came to Euston. He was still slumbering soundly. His comrades stepped over him and left the compartment. I bent down and shook him. "Ypres." I yelled, in his ear. He sprang to his feet.
