CHAPTER XVI.
After thia first experience of war came
many days of 'heavy work and deadly fir-
ing in the trenches; many long nights on
picquet duty round the 0WMlle 00 along
the Woronzoff Road; many a desperate
struggle in the dark' adieu the Bossism;
sallied out to destroy our trenehes;:. and
many a sad hour as. we sat in the tents
and thought of the gaps in our roll:
The •weather.. 14O0t, became intermely
cold, so cold thwt we could scarcely sleep
dogstired as we' were; and our olothing
wore 9121, and we grew thin, and gaunt
and sickly. And so came Christmas.
On 'Christmas 'Eve we were on outpost
duty, oar company, near the left of our.
attack, by the Woronzoff Road. 'Soft
Joe" and I mere companion sentries, mots
ing on our short beat! 'and meeting bnce
in two minntes.° The cor was bitterly cold,
and theground deep in snow. Jos had
wranimil his anklet, Bad arms with straw
bands Pe prevent frost -bites, and I had
thrust my chilled fingers under my Cuffs
and WAS trotting to keep my blood in
.eiroulation. It was. near. "eleven <Moak
and pitch:dark. Joe and I had Just come
together when a fireball WAS pitched from
the eneray'a battery and foil close on our
right.- • ire immediately threw entrsolves
down ,and crawled away to our left, know-
ing from experientie ;that a round shot
would follow. The round shot came, ancl
we spraug up to find a cloud of grey -
coated Russian Infantry closeupon us.
Hang went both our Mace togethera and
without a setcand thought we ran fed, the
trenches, the Russians following, with
hoarSe Yells, at our heels.
This was a common incident. -Often we
were attacked three or four times intone
night, and our ordere wore to lire tand
n
fall bath o•the. picquet, who in Ilaro,
would fall back fighting on the trekhes.
So It.was thie time. The Russiane seem-
ed to be in borne. Our piequet was driven
"rip and after a sharp tussle the enemy got
poesession of the first trench. But only
for a minute. The supports rushed 111),
and the Russians were driven out again,
They fell back in good order for a hun-
dred yards, then halted, poured in a vol-
ley, and advanced .at the charge.
Furious fighting; era& of musketry,
clank of steel; grunts and growls and
curses; clubbing of rifles, the heavy lama
of falling men, the sharp, agonized •ety
of the wounded; a cloud of smoke, .and'
diabolical flickering of fire-flaschings, ;and
once more we found ouoe1ye falbing back
firing and swearing, the enemy in &cost
purault.
It Wan at this moment that young
Simpson, waving his sword and calling
Us to come on, ran out of our ranks: to-
wards the Russians; and fell about mid•
way. Distantly Pat Ilatrington sprang

• The' winter passed. away, and the grass
grew green above our English graves: aad
the birds sang over the blood-soaked
fields, and the cannon ,roared under, the,
bright spring shy. And the Russians
still held on, and the struggle grew fierc-
er and deadlier than ever.
It was an awful siege. Nearer the'
trenches reached towards the batterea
Walls, deeper and longer stretched the
curve of the investiog batteries, louder
and louger bowled the iron' throats of
the slayers, Thousands of shells were.
hurled into the doorued fortress every
day. Ceaseless fusillade went on, by whicb
the devoted. defendere fell. Heavier can-
non, heavier mortars were mounted, the
fleets of Prance and England potted in
broadside after ° broadside, and still the
dogged foe held on.
Pive times in one night they drove us
from the Sandbag battery, live thrice we
recaptured. it. Tho Mantelon WAS taken
after fearful carnage; the .White Wbrks
followed, arid at last we held the Quar-
ries, for which eo many of both sides
had died. And 'after oath of these suc-
cesses the bombardment grew More ter-,
table. And still the Russians, cold and
immovable, 'held on.
lire took the Quarries on the 7th of
June. On the leth our allied forces made
a dash at the formidable walls, and were
defeated, losing five thousand men. In
this engagement / was knocked seneelese
by a spent ball before our army left the,
trenches, azu/ Joyce, in rescuing a fal-
len officer under fire, was wounded in
the neck,
It was two months before Phil was flt
for duty .again, and. all that time the
siege went on, and at the eud of it the
defences of Sebastopol were still intact,
and the Russiati courage and ,plilegm
were: still unshaken.
But directly afterwards came the fa-
tal action of the Tehernaya River. It
was the lout attenmt of the enemy to
raise the siege. Down came- the Une-
aten% fifty thousand strong, upon the
French, and Sardinian position* and for
manY hours a, furious battle raged, the
11.USSIOUB aharging again and again with
sullen bra.Very, and the Prenehmen fight-
ing in gala snirite, with. cheers and oven
laughter; the end being *nee More the
retreat•hf the assailants, with a loss of
nearly seven thousand men this time,
and many officere.
The very next day the word went forth,
and all our butteries by, land and sea,
began' to pour in a ocauteless and mut,

The Russians suffered fearful lessee. I
have heard' 11 said that a 'thousatid of
them fell every twenty-four hours. Their
cannon 'were dismounted, their gunners
blown to atoms, or erushedbeneath the
carriages and masonry. As we peered
between MIX gabions, or looked • down on
the fortrees from the Cathcart Hill, we
saw the earth -works crumbling, the great
masses of stone rolling down. We saw
the roofs and thimneys 01 the housee melt
and collapse, and ever and anon a stream
of iiaine shot up through a cload of. deb-
ris with a -sullen tour as some magazine
exploded, sending acorea of poor crea-
tures to their last account. It wan aw-
ful, horrible. Tho erzth trembled, the
batteries shook, the wind, was hot with,
the breath of conflagration from the
tewn, and the reat guns banged and
clanged and belched out fire and death,
and the shrieking shells and whistling

SPY'S WIPE WAS PERSISTENT

,
Within. a month Germany's bis
lawyers will congregate at Leipzi
to take part in one of the most ha
tereeting spy trials, of recent times
The 'Meal will be heard in earlier
in the Supreme Court, but eitoug
is known to whet public appetite fo
more details.
If the prisoner, Captain Koste-
vitch of the St, Petersburg Oaval
ry escapes prolonged imprison
anent it will be due to hip wife,
surely one of the most persistent
members; of her sex.
First she worked through the
Rusaian Embassy in Berlin, but at
last she decided that they were not
up to her standard of effectiveness,
so she bombarded headquarters at
St. Petersburg 'With letters and
telegrams till she won attention by
sheer persistence. The Russian
Ambassador was ordered to find
first-olass lawyers to defend Ca,p-
tam Kostevitch and to expend $25,-
000 on the expenses.
But though it is believed Koste-
vitch was nob a regular agent of
the Russian War Department, the
German authorities profess to have
evidence enough to prove his guilt,
whether he was an independent spy
or not.
Their sleuths started to dog his
footsteps immediately he arrived in
Germany three or four months ago,
as indeed the dog' tbe goings and
comings of any Russian or 'English-
man with any appepaanee of a mili-
tary man. Day and night their
eyes were on him and every action
was' noted. -
First he was alone at a small
hotel, and then his -wife joined him
and made some show of being 'a
student of dentistry. Then Another
Russian' named Nikolski appeared
on the scene. 'While Captain Kos-
tevitch professed to be experiment-
ing in chemistry, Nikolski gave out
n that he was studying factory me-
thods at Dusseldtaf.
By this method they were able
for was weeks to travel about and
g act; in co-operation. The authori-
ties declare they somehow or an-
. other gained possession of valuable
a military secrets, and the hearing is
h expected to reveal a -remarkably
ingenious scheme of espionage.

HOW TO
TAKE A SEN -BTL
Said to Be a Certain Cure for
Many Diseases.
The, sun -bath is rapidly gaining
popularity. It was not unknownto
the Romans, who indulged in ;tun -
baths 10 euro gout and rheuma-
tism. The buildings they erected
in their villas for the sunray treat-
ment were styled solariums.
All that is needeclia the sun.; but
it should mot be allowed to beat
down upon the head, tallith should
be covered. The prospective sun-
bather should get into an ordinary
bathing costume, and lie down an a
convenient spot on a rug. Care
should he taken to secure a position
well out of the wind, and, of course,
the body must be moved about
every ten minutes to avoid undue
burning of any specific part of the
amatetny. Also, a birth should ne-
ver by any ;chance last longer than
an hour. Dizziness, extreme ex-
citement, even laird/Jess, will he the
inevitable result, should this warn-
ing be disregarded.
The sun -bath is said "be be an al-
most infallible cure for certain skin
diseases, for undue cotpulence, and
run-down nerves,
Pethaps the cult of the sun -bath
is most popular at a small place,
near Berlin, where the adherents
of the new and ;simple cure have
formed themselves into an associa-
tion.
