CHAPTER VIII.—(Cont'd.)
"Ay," laughed another, and the
voice was as sweet music to Tom,
"I've seen thee worse nor this i' the
Brunford Cup Tie match."
"That thee, Nick?" he said, lapsing
into the Brunford vernacular, which be
had been trying to correct lately.
"Ay, Tom, it's me; tha'st donea
good neet's work to-neet."
Tom's brain was clearer now; he
knew where he Wee! knew, too, that he
had sameeded. Something was still
hammering at hie temples, and his
head was aching terribly, but he didn't
mind; his heart wes light. •
"You have done well, Pollard." - It
was Major Blundell who spoke.
"Was what I got any good, sir?"
"Good! I should think it was."
"And Captain Waterman, have you
got him?"
"That's all right, Pollard, he's safe
enough," replied the Major.
"Thank you, sir," said Tom, "I don't
caje now."
- What happened after that Tom
didn't remember. He had a confused
idea that he was carried down a long
line Of trenches, and that he heard
cheering words during his journey.
But nothing was plain to him, except
e. burning sensation in his left arm and
in his right shoulder; for the rest he
was faint, sick, and weary.
"You are feeling better now, are you
not, P 11 .d9" It was the doctor who
spoke.
"Yes, sir, I am feeling all right," re-
plied Tom; "there is not much the
matter with me, is there ?"
"You are simply a miracle," replied
the doctor, "only a couple of flesh
wounds, that's all. You have lost a'
great deal of blood, of course, but you:
will soon be as fit as a fiddle again. I
wonder that a hundred bullets did not
go through you!'
"They came mighty near," was
Tom's reply.
"You must be removed from here
at once," said the doctor, "this region's
too unhealthy for you."
An hour later Tom found himself
away from the screech of shells. I
As he reflected afterwards, it secin-I
ed to him a miracle that he had not
been killed. No sooner had he mas-
tered the German and seized the
paper than bullets showered upon,
him like rein, and yet beyond these
two slight flesh wounds he was
wholly imeouched. It was true he
was very stiff and sore, but he knew
that he would soon be as well as ever.
On the evening of the same day
Colonel Blount came to see him.
"Pollard, my lad," said the colonel,
"I felt I must come to see you. You
have rendered the British Army and
your country a great service, and you
Will get your reward."
"Thank you, sir, but I never thought.

"I'm sure you didn't," replied the
colonel, "but this job's not at an end
. yet, my lad."
"No, sir," said Toni, mistaking his

CHA PTER IX,
The evidence against Waterman
was so clear, so overwhelming that
there was not the slightest doubt'
the verdict which would be passed!
upon him. He Lad been caught'
practically red-handed in his. deed all
treachery; but this was not all. Tom
Pollard's action had led to a number
of other facts coming to light. He
had by many cunning devices been in
communication with the enemy; he
had constantly made known the plans
which he had learnt at the Divisional,
Headquarters, and had thus prepared
the Germans for many of the attacks
which we had made.
Tom could not help being impressed
by the fact that even although Wa-'
terman's guilt was as clear as day-
light, it was the evident desire of
those who tried him to act fairly, and,
even generously, towards him. Every-
thing that could be said in his favor
was carefully listened to, and noted;
and on the faces of more than one
present was a look of concern Omit
amounting to pain. This, however,
did not hide the truth that every man
regarded him with horror, almost
amounting to loathing. They re-
spected an enemy who fought openly
and fairly, but for a man who was
a staff officer in the British Army and
who consequently learnt many of the
plans of that Army; for a man who
had taken the oath to be faithful to
his King and Country, and yet to act
as he had acted, was ignominy too
vile for expreesion.
But Waterman seemed to have no
shame. no sense of guilt; he uttered
no word of regret, but stood erect and
almost motionless. His face was
hard set, in his eyes was a steely glit-
ter; it seemed as though he defied his
judges to do their worst, and to mock
at their evident disgust.
Tom gave his evidence clearly, and
without any waste of words.
"You knew him before you went
into the Army, then?"
"Yee, sir," replied Tom.
"Tell us where."
Whereupon Tom told of Water -
man's association with him in Brun -
ford, and of the conversations he had
had with the prisoner.
"I didn't quite understand at the
time," said Tom, "why he seemed so
sure of the Germans getting' the best
of it. He seemed to be glad when
• he told me of the tremendous strength
of the German army, and the prepara-
• tions they had made, He said he had
• been in Germany to sehool, and had
lived there a long time; that was how
he came to know so much about it,
could never quite make it out how
an Englishman whir loved his country
could be so sure that the Germans
would win. Besides, he didn't talk
about it as though it would be a
calamity, but something be would be
proud of; but I don't know that I
thought much of it at the time, es-
' pecially when be told me he was going
to receive a commission in our Army;
but later on, when I found out the
Germans knew what we were going
to do, I wondered how they'd found
out, and that led me to put one thing
to another."
This was not strict evideece, and
the officers knew it, but they allowed
Tom to tell his etory his own way.
"That was why I determined to
watch him," went on Tom, "and ---well,
sir, that was how things turned out
as they did."
When Tom's evidence chine to an
end he was told to retire. The lad was
sorely grieved at this, because he
would like to remain to the end; but
after all, he was only a private, and
he was there simply to give his evi-
dence.

thought Toni as he left the room.

"Now then," said the President to

"what have you got to say fur your-

"Nailing," replied Waterman. He
was no longer reepectful or polite.
His every word suggested insolence.
"You admit, then, that you are
guilty of the charges that have been
brought againet you?"
"You admit that you, an ofFieer hi

Waterman laughed, "I have simply

his reply, "the country which wil

Every eye was fixed upon him; the

"Then you are a German!"

v
Mi ole A Profession For The Blind.
In the animal kingdom it is observed
that no creatures are favorites, buk
certain compensation balances every
gift, and every defect. That is a
truth expounded in his Essay on Com-
pensation in which Emerson puts it
down for a fact that for everything
one has missed he has gained some-
thing else. When Nature deprives a
person of the sense of sight, it is an
immeasurable loss, yet that same Na-
ture, once thought cruel, now benefic-
ent, makes up the deficiency by an ex-
traordinary endowment along some
other line.
So often it is that finest of compen-
sations, the talent for music. There is
no doubt that music is one of the most
suitable professions for the blind. In
a Government report recently issued in
Britain on the welfare of the blind it is
stated that there are almost 1000-
947 to be exact—persons in the United
Kingdom thus afflicted who are fol-
lowing the professions of music, mak-
ing of musical instruments, piano
tuning, etc. There are at least one
hundred blind organiets ili Deltain,
many of whom are choir masters au
well, It is expected that these num-
bers will be materially thereased owing
to the fact thata greater amount of
attention is now being given to music
in the institutions for the blind.
The aforesaid report shows from an
investigation among several -hundeed
persons that 86 per cent, of the men
and 81 per cent, of the women are
known to have been succeseful in their
musical occupations. This report sug-
gests the desirability for a blind per-
son to combine the position of
orgaraet, or music teacher, or profes-
sional singer as the case may be with
that of pianoforte tuning, so that in
the event of a falling off in his profes-
sional work he can resort to the more
.practical occupation, or the other way
ayound, as • circumstances dictate.
Fertilizing the soil increases farm
labor efficiency and adds greatly to
the farmer's net income. The extra
yield, less.than the cost of the fertili-
zer, is largely pure profit.

The Spirit of Ecopomy.
Since that time the :toilet of econ-
omy—gtmerally present with the
French people—has reaeseeted its elle
thority, and now everything that can
be salved is picked up and made use-
ful. Each of the armies has been pro-
vided with what is known as a recu-
peration depot, whose duty it is to ex-
amine and retrieve all that is possible
from the debris found on the field of
batthlep.
T
correspondent visited one of
these depote uot Orleans and there
found in operation a scheme of sal-,
vage which- saves the French nation
many millions of dollars a year. It is
run under the superintendence of offi-
cers of the army reserve, mobilized at
the opening of hostilities and choeen
for their experience in commercial af-
fairs. Among them are bankers, man-
ufacturers and men drawn from many
trades. They have at their disposal
machines ef- the latest model, mostly
of American origin, while the workers
are drawn from among the wives,
widows and children of soldiers, Ger-
than prisoners and men of the oldest
classes of the French army.
Sonia idea of the extent of the work
done in this centre alone may be ga-
thered from the wages paid to the wo-
men and girls employed, which
amounted in the month of August to.
approximately $100;000. There are at
all times stored in the depot articles
of military equipment to the value of
$10,000,000. Every day in summer an
average of thirty motor wagons full
of debris from the battlefields arrive
and in winter this -number is increas-
ed to an average of forty-five wagons.
New Shoes Froin Old.
Thousands of odd shoes, worn and
muddy and torn, are sorted out into
pairs and then cleaned, repaired and
made ready to be issued again. Some-
times they are in such a condition that
they cannot be used as soldiers'
marching boots and then the uppers
are detached and refitted to wooden
eolee, forming clogs which are much
appreciated by the soldiers during
!their service in wet and muddy
!trenches. Odd Meees of leather are
stamped nut into buttons for the pris-
oners' uniforms.
More than 6,000 women are em-
ployed in this depot -alone.

Mi ole A Profession For The Blind.
In the animal kingdom it is observed
that no creatures are favorites, buk
certain compensation balances every
gift, and every defect. That is a
truth expounded in his Essay on Com-
pensation in which Emerson puts it
down for a fact that for everything
one has missed he has gained some-
thing else. When Nature deprives a
person of the sense of sight, it is an
immeasurable loss, yet that same Na-
ture, once thought cruel, now benefic-
ent, makes up the deficiency by an ex-
traordinary endowment along some
other line.
So often it is that finest of compen-
sations, the talent for music. There is
no doubt that music is one of the most
suitable professions for the blind. In
a Government report recently issued in
Britain on the welfare of the blind it is
stated that there are almost 1000-
947 to be exact—persons in the United
Kingdom thus afflicted who are fol-
lowing the professions of music, mak-
ing of musical instruments, piano
tuning, etc. There are at least one
hundred blind organiets ili Deltain,
many of whom are choir masters au
well, It is expected that these num-
bers will be materially thereased owing
to the fact thata greater amount of
attention is now being given to music
in the institutions for the blind.
The aforesaid report shows from an
investigation among several -hundeed
persons that 86 per cent, of the men
and 81 per cent, of the women are
known to have been succeseful in their
musical occupations. This report sug-
gests the desirability for a blind per-
son to combine the position of
orgaraet, or music teacher, or profes-
sional singer as the case may be with
that of pianoforte tuning, so that in
the event of a falling off in his profes-
sional work he can resort to the more
.practical occupation, or the other way
ayound, as • circumstances dictate.
Fertilizing the soil increases farm
labor efficiency and adds greatly to
the farmer's net income. The extra
yield, less.than the cost of the fertili-
zer, is largely pure profit.

lars Yearly to the

The Arabian Nights wizard who
turned old lamps into new Wales the
veriest emateur compared with the
modern French woman through !whose
liaods passes i.110 debris of the hnttle-
field. At the beginning of the war,
partly owing to the rapid movements
of the armies, waste was prevalent
evi;rywhere, The correspondent of.
the A !odatod Frees, while marching
with the eoldiers, then saw thoosands
of tomcats andentielee of equipment
strewn over the fields lied along the
roadsidee where the tinopo bad fought,
emeeuvered, advanced or retreated.
Nobody thought of saNing the tens
of thettennde of dollars' worth of (Use
carded clothing zeed items thrown
aside when rapid movement was -ne-
cessery. Cycreoets,- tunics, shoos,
sweaters, scarfs, cartridge pouches,
havereneks, belts, caps end waterproof
sheets lay about the ground in thou-
sands.
The Spirit of Ecopomy.
Since that time the :toilet of econ-
omy—gtmerally present with the
French people—has reaeseeted its elle
thority, and now everything that can
be salved is picked up and made use-
ful. Each of the armies has been pro-
vided with what is known as a recu-
peration depot, whose duty it is to ex-
amine and retrieve all that is possible
from the debris found on the field of
batthlep.
T
correspondent visited one of
these depote uot Orleans and there
found in operation a scheme of sal-,
vage which- saves the French nation
many millions of dollars a year. It is
run under the superintendence of offi-
cers of the army reserve, mobilized at
the opening of hostilities and choeen
for their experience in commercial af-
fairs. Among them are bankers, man-
ufacturers and men drawn from many
trades. They have at their disposal
machines ef- the latest model, mostly
of American origin, while the workers
are drawn from among the wives,
widows and children of soldiers, Ger-
than prisoners and men of the oldest
classes of the French army.
Sonia idea of the extent of the work
done in this centre alone may be ga-
thered from the wages paid to the wo-
men and girls employed, which
amounted in the month of August to.
approximately $100;000. There are at
all times stored in the depot articles
of military equipment to the value of
$10,000,000. Every day in summer an
average of thirty motor wagons full
of debris from the battlefields arrive
and in winter this -number is increas-
ed to an average of forty-five wagons.
New Shoes Froin Old.
Thousands of odd shoes, worn and
muddy and torn, are sorted out into
pairs and then cleaned, repaired and
made ready to be issued again. Some-
times they are in such a condition that
they cannot be used as soldiers'
marching boots and then the uppers
are detached and refitted to wooden
eolee, forming clogs which are much
appreciated by the soldiers during
!their service in wet and muddy
!trenches. Odd Meees of leather are
stamped nut into buttons for the pris-
oners' uniforms.
More than 6,000 women are em-
ployed in this depot -alone.
A few figures as to the results ob-
tained in this depot will demonstrate
the economic value of , the system
adopted. Two thousand cartridge
pouches are repaired on an average
every clay at a cost of about one cent
each, whereas new ones would cost
eighty cents each. I3y the repair of
soiled and torn sheepskin jackets a
profit of $1,600 daily is made. The
mending of overcoats saves the Gov-
ernment about $8.000 daily. With
pieces of cloth cut from old uniforms
the women make 8,000 pairs of cloth
slippers daily, each pair worth forty
cents, while by piecing together old
shoes 600 pairs ,of new ones are made
