But when this furioue bombardment slackened, Tvhen the magazines wore gee ting depleted; when the guns were near when Sebastopol was tottering auto ruins, its .defenees all rent and shalt - em, its streets full of dead, its aospitale 'crammed with sick and wounded, its Stores welanigh consumed, and its amulet; .'deciutated and exhausted, there were the ;grey coats and flat caps ou the walle, -there the sputtering five of musketry from tall its poets, there ehe eagle floating over lte bastions, and no eign to us of aim- ' Teuder visible, ' The allies brought up more cannon, and the siege went on. A week, a fortnight, -blithe weeks more the tierce bombardment ' Ia:sted, and then a feeling—hardly a ru- mor, just a, feeling—permeated the canum that the end was near. It was Septerebee—the 7th of September, 1656. The Biege had lasted nearly a yeer. The day was cold and dull, and a slumwieh wind was blowing from the sea. Joyce and I sat on a mound, the 0103 where I had seen the Zouave watching, tbe enema, and looked down on the darkening town. For an hour WO eat there, smoking and listening th the elatter of the infernal tempest.; then Sone 'Mimed Inc face to me -tend said. quietly, "This is the end at it, Willie—the end.' .• "Me end of what?" I asked. "The end of the siege," he answered. "Dld you see the amlnunition mate com- ing into camp to -day? Did you notice the gallopers tearing about from point to poitit?" "Yes, of course," I said, "and ft looke as if something was coining." "Ale!" said Joyce, in a peculiar tone. "Something is coming. The ecu is corn- ing. Tomeorrow we shall have another try at the Roden. I looked acroes at the unhappy fortress. It aoomed up grey and shadowy through the mist and smoke. A bell was tolling in the street,, a flickering glow of dull red on the far side indicated that some building -wag in flames. At intervals a gun 'Wan fired from the walls. Away on our right the Franca infantry bugles were blowing a lively quick -step. A tittle be. low our mound a group of sailors were pitching quoits—the whistling dieks had ceased from troubling, and the howlers were nearly all at rest "Waffle," said nay friend, filling Inc pipe and smiling tut spoke, "the Be- dell is our mark. It will he a warm task, and some of us will get our dia. charge. You remember?" "I remember," I said, knowing very well what he meant. "Hight," said Jeyee, "and now let us go nail to camp. I want to write some letters." We went down to our lines, and Joyee wrote to Amy, lying on the ground mean- while, and using las knapsack as a desk, and as he wrote, uttering the gentle thoughts of ft brave man th the women he loved, the mullion thundered on be- hind us, and the great Oen ruehed hiss- ing and roaring above our heeds. OHAPTER XVIII. By ten o'clock uext morning we were standing in the advanced parallels man- ed .in readiness for attack. Our work was' to capture the Roden, the Preach were to go for the Malaita. It was a muddled affair, and doomed to failure. Our force wad muelt Goo small, and tbe strongesa and freshest regiments were kept back in reserve. The attacks ' should heve been simultaneous; it was matinees for tut to wait upon the 811000.1l3 of the French assault. But on these points enough Ime been maid. Never did Eng- land send into the fielcl a finer army taan that of the Crimea; never were Brit- ish troops to neglected, misled, and Tula - Just about main the battle began, the French leaping over their parapets and rolling into the Malakoff like a tidal wave. They were in directly, and before a shot was fired. The Bantam were tak- en by surprise; and the French trenched were but a few yea& from the walls. We saw them, the agile, fieree little Zouaves, swanning over the works, dash - Inc up the hill. We heard the Nailed° break out, caught the glintine of the bayonets, and the flashing of the rifles, anti knew that now was our •turn. I looked round at Joyce and nodded, He smiled back at me. I heard a horee's -hoofs( thundering past our rear, aa shrill voice crying, "Fovward, forward!' and then we all savang out of tile trenches ' and went /or the slope of the Roden at a Tun. • At the same instant, from every loop- hole amd ernbraeure, from every wall and gabion of the Russian works, buret forth a perfeet etre= of fire. The rush of , round shot, canister, grape, and, shell, and ' the rain of bullets was something ter ; th cleft our ranks in all direction% mowing, men down in swathes, It tore up sand and steno and turf, filling the air with clouds of splinters that shrieked and howled like n. legion of fiends. Before that deadly fire our meagre line seemed 0 to molt. Tlle ground was thick with 'fallen. ooraradee; nearly all the leading ; 'eflicers were Trilled or wounded, and ere we mached the walls of the Redan we !- knew that we, like the cavalry of Bala- clava, weve being hurled to inevitable destruction. the grey -coated Russians came awarnang out of the embrasure, yelling, firing, atrik- ing—Inaci with rage and fury. , All this, as it seemed to Inc. in a ew moments. We were repulsed. I was wounded, I seemed to bleed from every pore. I was choked with blood, and blinded with it. My head was seinniug; I saw green. laughed hyaterically, and hurled 111Y rifle, which a bullet had shot= tared, at the adva,noing fee. Our color - sergeant etaggered out of Ole swirling me- lee, Inc hand across bis fame, blood flow - Ina front hie breast and throat. A BUS. Biala ran at him, with butt upraised. The dead lay thick around me. I stooped ellicklY, wrenched a rifle from a stiffened aand, struck at the Russian, end seemed in the aetiou to lose my balance and fall inth a bleak abyee. I had. fainted. When I recovered conectioueneree I wee lying on the salient, witb the mangled corpses of enemies and frientlie all round me. The sun was setting. The Russian works were silent, only our guns were booming. tbeir shot crashing into tae wane before me. - For a while I lay still. Indeed, I felt incapable of motion. And when I tried to stir, tbe pain made me utter a groan of miguish. Yet I must move. I must. Pain or no pain, I must drink. My throat was on fire. a wtiter.bottle 2ny hip. I tried my right hand, and found it etill grasped the rifle. As 1 drew it slowly up the butt ena came in view, and on the heel-U.421e, gaining in' the ved light of the eetting sun, 1 read thn e umber -66, No. 66. I had torn that weapon from the hand of a aced man. The number was the number of Joyce's rifle, Joyce was dead. Dead! I could not realize tbe fact. I seemed to have dreamto ed it I seemed* hare dreamed that I had hacked and etabberli tbat I waa wounded; that .soma thing hurt ene; that my throat V71143 afire, my brain all mist, and the place and figures round Inc a picture of flail:10 of green. CITAPTER, XIX. • I was vrounded HI five places, and that so seriously that it was three months ere I was well enough to be movea from Bala - &lava th Scutari. During all that time, and throughout the eubsequent throe months spent izt the general hospital, I remained almost epathetio. But as my physical wounds boated My mental wouude opened, anti when at length I found myeelf aboard ship, invalided home, I had fully awakened to the mis- ery which bad come upon me. It seemed to me then, as I wanted slowly al3out the deck, and watabed the rolling leagues of dull grey sea, , as if some 011280 hung over me. I felt like a leper. Fight as would against the feel- ing. I could uot ,ehake off the idea tbat my friendship brought death along with it. Of ell the men with whom I had held cordial relations in Otto company uot one thmained alive. Rochfort had died under ney feet in the Ileden, Harrington bad died by my side,in a night attack, Downs and Andy White had been shot in the trent:bee, Richards and Ballard died of dysentry in came, and Joyce had been shot through the heart aimed before the last smile he gave me had faded from Inc. face. Many an hour did I drag myself around and about the decks fretting over.the loss of my old friend; asking over mad over again the question why he was taken and not I. Many a time did leek over the side at the burrying water and think how easy', a relean lay there, and how boneless and weary a life was before Inc. I had is dutY Yet th fulfil, a eremitic to make good. Joyce's watch hed been brought to me by one of the bearers, and O had given my wont to take it to bis sweetheart. How I dreaded this task I cannot thll. It lay on Inc all day like a ebadow, and haunted me at night in my dreams. I felt that I could not bear to emeet that poor girl, that I could not endure the sight of .her grief. "What shall I say to her? What sball I ear to her?" The' question ratt in my mind continually, and found no answer. It was thewi most terrible task th which I had ever been confronted. We ma,de a rapid passage, and by the end ca March had othesed the Bay of Elia aaa. Daseed Cherbourg, and were beating up tbe Channel. I fairly dreaded the end sight of the English coast. I went below to avoid the view of tbe southern hills; and when at that we ceet anchor in Porta month Harbor I was in a perfect fever of nervousness. ' • We had many invalids ant!' wounded men aboard, but no cripples. But on the day of our arrival. another 055501, which had reached port the night before, began 0 land aer cargo of victims, and I saw such sights as even I must feel. Zero a blind man led ashore; here a poor, wreck, deprived of both lege; here another 'de- nrived of both arms; here a boy with half ale maw shot away and one sleeve empty. It was a terrible proceseion, and as I watched it remembered the day n which we had marched through title very town, anti how the bells had pealed and the people had cheered, and salvoes f artillery bad shook tbe air—for thal, My own left arm was crippled, part of the elbow having been shot away, and I knew that I should be discharged. But when I saw theee. unfortunate comrades carried from the ship I wished I had been killed, and envied aoyee his placid' deep beneath the' turf at Balaelava.. l'here Teeth no cheers now, no cannon Teenage no clashing of bells. The crowd stood silent, „looking sorrowfully upon those bit- ter evidences of glorioue war.

A few boats, with their brown sails hanging limp, lay off the shore, and round the tower of the little ohne& the claws were flying. Everything -looked peaceful, and Droeperous and well. And yet; to whom was I going? To an unhappy woman, Whose life had been wreaked by Tvar. "What shall I say to her? What shall I say th her?" . I could not command my thougate. Only I was theolved th go. I eat my teeth and walked firmly on. I had in my heart a strange sense of guiltinees as though I were now to answer for the death of my friend.

I turned into the garden of Ainy Dawson's home, a,nd strode up the path with more fear in my heart than I had ever felt before Mee Itemaian batteries. It was a pretty cottage, with a deep poroh, over which the ivy wee thickly trained. ln this porch a man end a woman were standing. They held each other by the hand, and were so engeoesed in conversa- tion that .they did not notice my approach uutil I waa olose upon them. Then they both tented round to face me.

They both tmewered at once, "Yes;" and then the girl said, rather haughtily, "I' am Amy Dawson." There was a long and painful silence. The yeoman looked at Inc and then at Amy in surprise, 0 made an effort and oontrolled myself. "I am sorry to dieturb you," I said. "0 have a message for you." The girl's eyes drooped. "Yea" ebe said in a whisper. I took out the little paeket in weigh was poor Phil's wata. "I have brought this," I said coldly, "front Philip Joyce." The young yeoman stood perplexed and silent.

As I missed the bend of the road looked batik once aeross the harbor. Lights were twinkling in Inc house% now, their thfleetions dancing on the water. The bluff looked like a cloud.

Will You Get One of Them? In 'addition to the twenty-seven first prizes of $50 each, there will be eighty-one other cash prizes, ranging from $10 to $25 in our 1912 PRIZE CONTEST FOR FARMERS 52041. ee This contest is along the same lines as the one which was so successful last year, except that there are three times as many prizes,, and therefore three times as many chances for each contestant to win. Every farmer in Can- ada who uses "Canada" Cement is eligible 10 compete. The conditions gre such that large and small users of cement have equal oppor- tunities to win a $50 prize. The contest is divided into three classes; and there am first, second, third and fourth prizes (ie, $25, $la and $1 0) in each class. CLASS "A”— Priv.jo be awarded to theft.. farmers In each province Who Me most Canada" Cerea,,. on their farm in1912. CLASS "D'' -P•iree 1,1,0 awarded to the tour Farmers in ench ntovince Who tend, photographs of the best concrete roam§ dons with 'Canada" Cement on thole farras In addition to thus being divided into classes, so as to give small users of cement an k equal chance with those who use more, the Contest is also divided into nine divisions, one for each province. So you see you need only to compete with the other farmers of your own province, and not with those all over Canada. Don't think that because you have never used cement, you cannot win a prize. Many of last year's prize winners had never used cement before they entered the Contest. We will send you a free book, "What the Farmer Can Do With Concrete," that will not only help you in the Contest, but will tell you efery- thing you could want to know about a.
