The •fight ,between. -Gaston and the
Mfg dlet was all deer before
Gluisky the •recrorit'' had eome to his
senses saiffieiently to know wh,erther �i
was in 'Africa or Iceland.' It was
the Ring Rat Who linked an arm eln
hi.s,....and ied Winn stumblingly et4 his
bed, ,on Which he el1. like a dog, and
driftedinto a hideout earniblance of
slusniter:
'E 'got ilt good,that big feller,"
the Rat ccmdded to his especial .cot-
•einie of ererifires. "If Gastent's hoot had
landed 'art a inch lower down, 'e
would 'ave woke up where the-'arpia

'Bah, that big erten, I think -he is
a corward'.' sneered . a • hard-bitten
Frenchman, who, as a.11 -the Legion.
knew,' had joined up to escape, a life
'sentence on Devil's Island, for being
too geeerons with his -knife.
•"Maybe," replied the Rat, • "You
never can tell, but if "els a 'coward,
Pm a bad rguesser. il"ve seen 'is sort
before.", ,
'"Gas•bon beat him as as as beat -
he a male an' you beat Gaston, like
wan •b.eattin'• a carpet on

'"Y-e,s; but .the an things; don't, al -

big stiff, who mils "inaself.MeGlulsky,
wasietewise to eavate, an' Gaston
gave it to 'be good: e'11 know • he,tter
next time. I'll just go an' ' 'ave
look at 'nn; 'e Mary teed a little

The Rat did go, and he did give
quite a lot of help„ for when he came
av�ay . from 1VIeGlieskyo.s .11yectside Sht
had pretty nearly everything that
was. portable 'belonging to the re-
cruit in his tprossesseore pipe, totbaeco,

to see a Ilumrinea• get ahead of,l Brit -
Wier. "Ea got to' learn the ropes,
anyway."
When the bugle sounded the reveille
half an hour before dawn, McGlusky
awoke With the rdet, and sat urp.•with
• start,„ and Imbed around' him, with
bewildermerrt. He 'had no remem-
brance . of having ,gone to bed, nor
'could he for a moment or two remeart-
her where he was. He was Still puz-
zling things out, when the thin voice
of the Ring Rat cut in .Upon, his con-

• IMelmlorY came loadk to McGlusky
and; shame swept over him like a
tidal wave. He could notremember
the particulars, but he knew he had
been beaten ..to a frazzle in the en-
countber 'with Gaston, and defeat nev-
