(Continued from our last issue.)
One of the older men on guard, Unit-
ing to his naate, said:
"There goes Fritz with those &tinn-
ed mortars again. Itie about time elm

Lloyd had gone. When the trenc
mortars opened up, a maddening ter
ror seized him and he wanted to. rue
to get away from that horrible din
anywhere to safety. So quietly sneak
ing around the traverse, he came t
the entrance of a communicatio
trench, and ran madly and -bile&
down it, running into traverses,stumb
ling into muddy holes, and. fallin
fell length over trench grids.
roping blindly, with his arm
stistched out in front of him, he a
lea carne one of the tench into th
Village, or what used .to be a village
before the German artillery razed it
Mixed with fear, he had a peculiar
sort of cunning, which whispered to
him to avoid. all sentries, because if
they saw him he would be sent baek
to the awful destruction in the front
line, and perhaps be Idlled or maim-
ed. The thought made him shudder
the cold sweat coming. out in beads on
his faee. ,
On his left, in the darkness, he could
nta,ke out the shadowy forms of trees;
erawling on his hands and knees, Stop-
ping and crouching with fear at each
shell -burst, he finally reached an old
orchard and cowered at the base of a
shot-searred apple -tree.
He remained there all night, listen-
ing to the sobnds of the g.uneend ever
praying, praying that his useless life
would be spared.
As dawn began to break, 'he could
discern little dark objects protruding
fro inthe ground all about him. Cur-
iosity mastered his fear and he crawlt
eo to one of the object*and there, in
the uncertain light, he read on a little
wooden cross:
"Pte.. H. S. Wheaton'No. 7670, lst
London Regt. R. F. Killed in ac-
tion, April 25, 1916. R.I.P." (Rest
in Peace).
When it dawned on him that he had
been hiding all night in a cemetery,
his reason seemed to leave him, and a
mad desire toile free from it all made
him rush madly away, falling over
little wooden crosses, smashing some
and trampling others under his feet.
In his flight, he came to an old
French dugetat, half caved. in, and
partially filled with slimy and father
water. - ..
Like a fox being chased by the
hounds', he ducked into this hole, and
threw himself on a pile , of old empty
sandbags, wet and mildewed. Then
--unconsciousness.
On 41-1 next day, he came to; far
dieta.nt eoices 'sounded in his ears*
Opening his eyes, in the entrance of
the dugout he saw a Corporal and
two men with fixed bayonets. e
The Corporal was addressing himl
"Get upe you white -livered blighter/
Curse you and the day you ever join-

The Captain, utterly disgusted with

Headquarter* for trial by court -mar -
lel; charged with. -desertion under fire.
They shoot deserters in France.
During his trial, Lloyd sat as one
azed, and could put nothing forward
n his defence, only an occasional
"Dont have me shot!"
His *sentence was passed:, "To be
shot. at 3.38 o'clock on the morning ,
of May 18, 1916." This meant that
he had only one Mere day to live:
He did not realize the awfulness of
his sentence, his brain seemed para-
lyzed. He knew nothing of his trip,
under guard, in a motor lerty to the,
sandbagged guardroom in the village,where he was dumped on the floor and
left, while a sentry with a fixed bay-
onet paced up and down in front of
the entrance.
Bully beef, water, and biscuits were
left beside him for his supper.
- The sentry, seeing that he ate no-
thing, came inside :and shook him. by..

The artillery behind. the lines sud-

they had. An intense bombardment
of the enemy's lines had commenced. ,
The roar of the guns was deafening.

laddie, cheero." - I
With this, the sentry resumed the,
pacing of his post. Ire about ten mita
utes' time he was relieved, and a
Company Man took his place.
Looking into the guardhouse, the
sentry noticed the cowering attitude
of Lloyd, and, with a sneer, said to
him: •
:Instead of whimpering in that
corner, you ought to be saying your
prayers. IVS belly conscripts like you
what's spoilin' our record. We've
leen out here nigh onto eighteen
months, and your the first man to
desert his post. The whole Battalion
is laughin' and pokin' fun at
Company, bad luck to you! but you
won't get another chance to disgrace
us. They'lltput your lights out in the
mornin'." •
After listening to thistirade,Lloyd,
in a faltering voice, asked: "They are
not gig to shoot Mei arta they?
"Why, the other sentry said they'd
parciOn me. For God's sakee-don't
tell me ° Pm to be shOt!" and his voiee
died away in a sob.
"Of course, they're ging to shoot
you. The ether sentry was jest a-
kiddin you: Jest like old Smith,
Always a-trin ' to cheer some one.
You ain't got no more chance o' bens'
pardoned than I have of geetin' to be
Colonel of my 'Batt."
When the fact that ell hope was
gond finally entered Lleyd's brain, a
calm 'seemed to settle ever him, and
rising to his knees, with his arms
stretched out to heaven, he iirayed,
and all cif his soul 'entered into the
prayer:
"Ob,- good an mercifel God, give me
strength to die like a !man! Deliver
me from this coward's 'death. Give
me a 'chance to 'die like my anates in
the fighting line, to die fighting for
my country. I ask of thee."
A peace, hitherto unknown, carae to
him, end he crouched and cowered no
more, but calmly waited ,the dawn,
ready to go to his death. The shells
were hursting ,all around the guard -

The above represents the num-
ber of years spent in fruitless ef.
forts to cure a bad case of eczema
with ordinary ointments, con.
pared with the time it took Zam.
Buk to 'effect a complete and ner-
rnanent cure.
irhis was the experience of rMr.
11. C. Buckley of 441 EaseBroad-
way, Portland, Ore. Writing to
the Zarn.Buk Co:, he says: "For
fifteen years I suffered with a bad
ease of eczema, and used all kinds
of so -caned "cures" and treat.
meits, but nothing was capable
of curing me until I tried Zam.
Bu . This wonderful balm, how.
ever, completely cured me in less
than a year, and not. only so, but
I live had no return of the dis.
eat*. I strongly recommend Zam.
Buk to anyone afflicted as I was."
This is but one of the hundreds
of cases where Zam.Buk has ef-
fected a cure when everything
else failed. The reason; is easily
explained. Zam-Buk being un-
usually refined—containing abso-
lutely no anima/ fats or mineral
drug such as are contained in
ordinary ointments—is capable of
penetrating to the underlying
tissues where skin diseases have
their roots. Ordinary ointments,
on thecontrary, never get beyond
thelsurface skin and so are incap.
able of effecting permanent cures.
Zarn.Buk is just as good -for
salt rheum, ringworm boils, rd.
cers, abscesses, blool.poisoning,
piles, cuts, burns, scalds and all
skin injuries. All druggists or

While waiting there, the voiceo of
the sentry, singing in a low tone, came
to him. He was singing the chorus
of a popular trench ditty:
"I want to go home, I want to go
howler
I don't want to go to the. trenches no
•more.
Where the 'whizzbangs' and 'saus-
ages' roar galore.

oYd. listened to the words with a
nge interest, and wondered- whet
of a home he would go to across
Great Divide. It would be the
home he had -ever known.
ddenly thereiearae a. great Xiiehe
through the air, a blinding ,
afening report, and tlie san g°
avail of the guardroom 'toppled over,
and then—blackness.
When Lloyd recovered conscious-
ness' he was lying on his right side,
faci g what used to be the entrance
of t e guardroom. Now, it was only
a i ble of rent and torn sandbags.
His ead seemed bursting. He slowly
rose on his elbow, and there in the
'east the dawn- was breaking. But
What was :that mangled shape lying
over there among the sandbags?
Slow y dragging himself to it, he saw
the , scly of the sentry. One look
was :enough. to know that he was dead.
The oldier's head was missing. The
sentr ha:d had bis wish gratified. He
had 'gone home." He was safe at

Lik a flashiit came to Lloyd that
be w.s free. Free to go "over the
top" with his Company. Free to die
like a true Briton fighting for his
King and Country. A great -gladness
and warmth came over him. Care-
fully stepping over tile body. of the
sentrse he -started on ernad race down
the ined street of the village, amid
the b rsting minding. them.not,
dodgi g through or around hurrying
platoo s on their wey to also go "over

Tannic tion trench, he could not get
throu -h. It was blocked with laugh-
ing, heenng, and cursing soldiers.
ono) nir, out of the trench, he ran
wildly along the' ton, never heeding
the rain of machin.e-gun bullets and
.shellss Tint even hearing the shouts of
the officers, telling him to get hack
into the trench. He was going, to
join his company who were in the
front line. He was going to fight with
them. !. Ile, the despised coward, had
come into his own.
While he was rachag alang,, jump-
ing oiler trenches crciwded with sol-
diers, a ringing cheer broke out all
along, the front line. and his heart

Company had gone over. But still he
ran madly. He would catch them. He
would die with them.
Meenwhile his Company had gone
"over," They, with the other com-
panies had taken the first and second
Gentian. trenches, and had pushed
steadily on to the third line. "D"
Cormiany, led by their Captain, the
one who bad sent Lloyd to • Division
Hea:dquarters for trial, charged with
desertion, had pushed ' steadily for-
ward until they found themselves far

they came to a German couurnmica-
tion ' trench, which existed in a blind -
sap, ! and then the Captain, and what
was ileft of his m.en, knew they were
in a trap. They would not retire.
Company never retired, and they
were *"0" Company. Right in front
of them they could see hundreds of
Gertnans preparing tcerush. them with
bomb and bayonet. ' They would have
some chance if ammunition and bombs
could reach, them from the rear. Tileir
supply was exhausted, and the men
realized it would be a case of dying.

run for it But "D" possible,
would
not run. It was against their tradi-
tions and principles.
The Germans ewbuld have to ad-
vaece across an open space of three
to four hundred yards before they
could get within bombing distance of
the trench, and then it would be all.
their own. way.
Turning to his Company, the Cap-
tain said:
"Men, it's a case of going west for
u.s. We are out of ammimition and
bombs, and the 'Roches' have us in a •
trap. They will bomb us out. Our
bayonets are useless here. We will
have to go over and.ineet them, and
it's a case of thirty to one, so send
enery thrust home, and die like the
men of "D" Corimany should. When
I gitre the Word, fellow rne, and up and
at them. Give them hell! God, if
we onlyi had a machine gun, we could •
wipe thrn. out! .Here they come, get
ready, then."
Just as he finished speaking,. the
welcome "pup -pup" of a machine gun.
in their rear rang out, and the front
line of the onrushing Germans seem -
:c1 to melt away. They wavered, but
nee again came rushing onward.
Davin went their second line. The
machine gun- was taking an awful toll
of lives. Thee. again they tried to
-advance, but the machine gun mowed
them down, Dropping their rifles,
and bonabs they broke and fled in a
wild rush tack to their treiichnamid

pany came a mighty cheer. The anit
munition had arrived- and with it a
battalion of Scotch to iieinforce them.
They were saved. ° The unknown ma-
chine gunner had come to the resuce
in the nick of time.
With the reinfeecements, it was an
'easy task to take the third German
line.

tain and three of his non-coitimission-

ILleyd had reached the front line

A strange company evas-nimbly crawl-
ing up the trench ladders-. They were
reinforcements going over. They
were Scotties, and they made a mag-
nificent sight in their brightly colored
kilts and bare knees.
Jumlaing over the trench, Lloyd raced
across "No Man's Land,". =heeding
the rain of bullets, leaping over dark
forms on the ground, some of which
lay still while others called out to him
as -he speeded past. -
-He came to the German front line,
but it was deserted, except for heaps
of dead and wounded—a grim tribute
to the work of his Company, good
old "D" Company. Leaping trenches,
and gasping for breath, Lloyd could
see right ahead of him his Company
in a dead -ended sap of a communica-
tion trench, and across the open, away
in front of them, e mass of Gerraans
were preparing for a charge. Why
didn't"D". Company fire on them?
Why were they se strangely silent?
What were they waiting for? Then

Lloyd rushed to the gun, and grasp-
ing the traversing handles, trained it
on the Germans. He °pressed the
thumb piece, but only a sharp click
was the result. The gun was unload-
ed. Then he realized his helpfulness.
He aid not know hew to load the gun.
Oh, 'why hadn't be attended the ma-

They Must
Not Look in Vain
N officer was missing. His brother crept out and
.found him in la shell hole. He bore him back
to the lines—dead. 4 4 Are you not sorry you ven-
tured all this?" asked the commanding officer. "No",
because when I found him he looked up into my face,
. smiled and said "I knew you would come!" What
could more fittingly illustrate the work of the "big
brother to the soldiers"—the Y.M.C.A.! No danger is
too great to be risked for the sake of the physical,
Mental and spiritual welfare of those dauntless heroes
of Ypres, St Julien, Virny Ridge, Passchendaele
Everywhere he goes the Y.M.C.A. follows faithful to
the limit of its, resouces.

A Village Without'
Y. M. C. A.
Francis 13. Sayre writing
in Harpers' says: 'With only
evil ways in which to spend
money burning in their pocke
eta with nothinis to relieve
the dull monetony of kite
evenings, many of the sold-
iers began to get lonely and
homesick, or to drift along
dangerous paths.
"It was not many days
before officers began tosend
hurry calls for the Y.XC.A.:
'For God's sake come down
before it's tog late and do
something for my mend"
