Fine Batch of Stories of Deeds
Done in Danger
For Wbieli the D,S.O. Ras Been
Awarded Lately,
The inest serlea of short stories of
the war was isaued officially in the
Londontiazette recently. They are
the narratives of deeds that have won
D. S. keeti and other honors for offi-
cers mid men. The following wonder-
ful narratives are selected as triiical
of the gallantry of our menV;•
Pcrhaps the most graphic is the ;le -
count, attached to the name of Lame,
Corporal P. Harvey and Corporal
It. E, Kulglit, ef the 15th Oloneester
Ti ritorials. TItey were in o patror re.
eennottring a suspected listening post.
Thie they eneoun trd. KnIglit at
(»tee ehot one ot the enemy and with
Harvey rushed the post, phooting two
others. Assistance arriving, the t-n-
tany tied. Harvey pursued, felling ono
of the retreating Germans with a blud-
geon. Ile seized him, but finding his
revolver empty, and the enemy having
(Menet], fire, he was called back by
Knight and the prisoner escaped. Three
Germans were killed; the patrol had
no loss. This was at llebuterne,
southweet of Arras, on August 3-4
last.
This is the thrilling adventure of
Second -Lieutenant Harry Hogg Yuill,
J70th Mining Co., R.E. When one cif
the leads to a charge in a mine broke
close to the charge he at once untamP-
ed the top of the charge and crawled
into the mine to mend the break, al-
though Germans were working so near
that he could hear them speak. An-
other night the enemy were working
within a few feet of our gallery, and
It became a race which would fire the
mine first. The situation was critical,
but owing to his splendid example and
energy two of our shafts were sunk hi
time and the explosions must have
blown in the German gallery and, all
the men in it.
TWO COOL "SUBS."
Two second -lieutenants of the Cam-
bridge Territoreals—Xenneth CarlYie
Ulla of the 1st Battalion, and Eric
Humphrey Hopkinson, of the 2nd
Battalion—led a patrol right up to
the German trenches and remained on
the German parapet for an hour and
a half, securing most vaulable Man --
mem
There is a curious coincidence about
the gallantry of Private R. Allen ana
Private H. Butterworth, of the llith
Lanett:Mire Fusilier Terrttorials. No-
ticing movements in the scrub at
KrIthle, "he went boldly 'lute It on
his own initiative, under heavy fire,
and found a Turkish machine. gun.
with an officer. He took the revolver
from the officer and brought in the
machine gun." This is the official ac-
count applied to each of the men.
Private R. Casey and Private W.
Downton, of the same regiment, but
the 7th Battalion, "under an officer
eharged and captured a small Turkish
redoubt and continued to hold it atter
the officer was killed, using Turks'
rifles and ammunition when their own
was exhausted.
NOBLE SELF-SACRIFICE.
Among some noble instances a self--
sacrifice is that of lsanasman .W. time -
ley, of the 17th \Vest Riding Territor-
ials. He dug practically utmoted ter
two hours under a heavy shell fire to
free a wounded man buried beneatn
a parapet. He was successful, and
later the same night attended the
wounded with the utmoet devotion,
although suffering from sickness,
while all the other stretcher-bearers
were incapacitated. Similarly Pte. G.
R. Cutter, of tne 1611h Manchester Ter -
Mortals, dug a shelter under very
-heavy fire for a dangerously wounded
officer, and then rejoined the tiring
..So, too, Gunners (I. G. Minty
and A. McKinley, of tlie lst Australian
Pield Artillery. Vhen they found one
of the wounded left in a trench com-
manded by. the enemy's fire they vol-
unteered to bring him in, and gal-
lantly succeeded.
Pte. W. E. G. Smith, of the it Gore
dens, wae on patrol duty with an
officer and two men one night between
ours and the German trenches. The
officer was suddenly wounded and
unable to move. The other two men
went for a. stretcher, but Smith him-
self dragged the' offrcer towarl our
lines. Reaching the wire with the
help of another man, he placed the
°Meer in a shell hole, cut a way
through the wire, and then carried bim
to eafety, all the time under the
heaviest rifle fire.
, WOUND CONCEALED.
Perhaps the best retard of a wOund-
ed man is that of Pte. T. Garrity, 0th
Argyll and Sutherland Territorials.
Wounded in the. head in March, he
ecnamanded hits patty till is taste was
finished. Wounded in the neck in
April he had the wound dressed and
immediately rejoined for duty in the
trenches. Wounded in May he cons
cealed the fact to maintain coolness
emong his party, and refused eta go
bark for a dressing because an attack
was expected. Severely wounded eight
days later he refused to be carried
back till all the other wounded had.
been attended to.
Sergt. C. Gibbens and aerate -Major
C. Kent, of 'the 2nd Durham Light
Infantry, staved eft an untimely with-
drawal at 'loose on Aug. 0-10. They
rallied and led back some men under
shell fire to a vatated trettch. Later,
with an °dicer, (Mem ran neress
(-goosed ground to head off mot who
had begun to withdraw. .A similar
oct was that of twice Coml. T. P.
!McDowell, of the 3rd X, It. IL C., who
ateYpres aa.w a party of another regi-
ment retreating in disorder. He ran
across the open for half a mile under
Ittavy machine-gnn fire, rallied the

eettley differed much from those gal-
lantly equipped travelers who bed rid -
en SQ gaily to Bradfield that brIght
autumn day, some weeks before. Now
they moved furtively and painfallY
ben, eath tlie Imre branches of the om-
elet trees; their clothing torn by the
ley twigs of bushes and brambles; anti
Peer eocelin, whose eaudais bad
grown rotten in the damp air of
the Oubliette, now fulfilled the dream,
so passionately related in the Abbot's
Parlor, for be literally followed her
over a briar -strewn, rocky way, 'With
torn and bleeding feet. On and on, they
pressed. Now a Dare would scarrY
across their path. Once a red feat
flashed before them like a nettle; here
and there the glossy green anti red of
a holly bush, et the silvery gleam
of mistletoe from some gnarled oale-
bough, brightened the Min wood. The
day had dawned dull and cold, and a
chilling wind wailed through the trees,
rattling the bouglis Above them, and
piercing them through with its icy
breath. The monk and maid spoke Itte
tie, for botb were sorely tried by the
raped pace at which they had come.
When they had walked for some
hours, Jocelin beim' to lag, and final-
ly sank down upon a bank, calling
weakly, "Dear Rohese, stay a while,
for I can go no further."
Rohese turned, and scanning litin
closely -for the first time, was startled
by his white cheeks and dark -circled
(vete Her heart misge.ve her. Could
this poor creature raake the long
journey to De Cokefeld? Or raust she
go on alone, leaving his body to lie
in the woud, uncoffined, unwatched,
save by the vultures? She turned hure
riedly and , knelt be her companion's
side, supporting' his head on her lap,
covering him as best she might with
the folds of her gown and cloak; al-
though her, heart was too heavy for
many words of cheer, 'as even her
strong young frame was failing under
thel sustained strain. But she edited
away the tears which would rise to her
eyes, as ehe gazed into Jocelin's pinch-
ed face, and tried to say cheerfully:
"Rest thee, my friend. Why, I am
hardly weary yet. Pie, man, by nty
Christendom, 'tis but a -pleasant morn-
ing walk. Thou art et poor suitor to
tire so soon of such goodly company."
"Alas sweet lady! At ray best I were
but a poor fellow. And now I bid fair
never to reach even the highway. Go
on, my dear deliverer. Why tarry over
so useless a hulk as lies stranded
here?"
Rohese aid her .hands on his lips
to silence aim, for she knew that if
she spoke she would burst into tears.
Yet, within her heart she was disgust-
ed that this man whom she had sur-
rounded with a halo of romance should
show himself so weak. Conversant
With bravery and chivalry,.. she felt
that jocelin 'fell far 'below her stand-
ard, and the emotion which had stir-
red her when he wooed so masterfully
now flickered, paled and died out in
the light of reality. The dream had
departed. The shadow of love reflect-
ed In her waiting heart had flown
leaving in its stead pity—a pity peril-
Ously akin to contempt.
Looking anxiously about for a place
of concealment, Rohese's face sudden-
ly lightened. ' •
"Joeelin, come but a few steps fur-
thei." And when he had risen, she half
led him down the bank on which they
had been resting. As. they descended,
they seemed suddenly to enter a warm
mem, so great was the change of tem-
Perature. They had come Into a deep
little aeil, well screened bushea and
carpeted with fallen leaves. Hero tee
chili wind could not reach them, and
they felt coat° safe from notice. Warm-
ed and •comforted by this assurance,
the fugitives were soon asleep. They
had not sturabered long when Rohese;
being the less weary of the two, and
thus the lighter sleeper, awoke with
a start for above them she heard the
undergeowthrrustle as if some one was
passing. So secure did the feel she was
about to close her eyes again v;ten
a cry of terror arose to her lips. Over
the rim of the dell was thrust a shag-
gy head and rough muzzle, and the
bload-shot eyes of a great stag -hound
glared dawn upon them; then the dog
withdrew and sent a prolonged bay
echoing through the woods like a ‘e •
ion call. Reltese clasped her hands eel
bent her head in prayer. • Joceiee,
being awakened by the sound, sprang
staggering to his fad, and seizing
broken bough, placed hitimelf in front
of Rohese. She, though confident that
the monks were upon them, eould
scarce restrain a smile at Jocelin's
ap-
pearanee. A cadaverous, trembling lig-
ere, bare of foot, clad in torn black
garmehts, brandishing in his weak
hand the piece of rotten wood. Then
they heard a voice calling the hound,
To one of the fugitives at least this
voice was familiar, for Rohese sprang
up the side of the dell with a grad cry
and east her arms about the neck of
Bernice of Ely, pressing warm lips to
her wrinkled cheek, much to that go -cid
dame's disgust,
"By elearth's horns, wilt strangle me,
thou bramble! Let go, wench. Save
thy kisses for thy lover; old. 33ern1ce
wants them not." Yet despite her
rough repulse, Dame Bernice looked Up
into the girl's face with a not unkindly
g eath in her eyes. Rohese, tteed to
her -brusqueness, was not dIscone
certed.
"Thatk heaven, mother, thou hast
traced us, for my poor eompatittn will
not be able to get to De Cokefeld," and
in truth Joeelin now leaned against the
bank nearly faintiag.
"roof, who Stied the monk Was to
go to De Cokefeld? I'll have no phil-
landering, wench, I tell thee. How-
ever, the wight needs food and drink,
end we must hiteteto for thy flight has
been -discovered, and the sneaks are
buzzing like a hive of bee,"
Itoheee would fate have questioned
the dame, but elle shoved a small vene
ison pasty, tvhieh she produced from
a sort of wallet elle wore, into the
girl's hand, and taking a flag( of wine
from the same receptacle, caeried an-
other pasty to eocellt, and stood over
hint until he had eaten and drutek to
her satiefaetion, Theft she whistled to
the dog, which tame bounding up. VP -
on his Lathwee fastened a bundle,
and his mistrees eald to him approv-
ingly, as with many groans she knelt
to unbuckle it, "Good Dunstan, thou
haat tarried well!" Dunstan wagged
his tail to show his appreciation of
this compliment, And relieved of bls
burden, tleaarted geareh of a small-
er game then that Lo had just diecov-
era. &luting !leveret articles from
„
the bundle, Dame Bernice turned to-
ward joeelie, end half led, Ina push-
ed lane int° the dell, saying to leo-
hese, as she disappeared after him,
"Turn thyselt into a serving mei,
whilst I make a woman of the 'Monk—
no hard task lay Ilecate!"
By 1114 of the articles left in the bun-
dle, Rohese, wtth reties' wit, soon tram -
fanned Itereelf into a buxom woman,
who front her garments might be some
well-to-do Franklin's daughter, but
who, with dark face balf laddeo . be-
neath wimple and veil . and
ruseet braids (the witch's toilet
box had been complete), topical
little like the lithe and eloerle lady of
De Cokefeld. UP from the dell now
came the witch, followed by a slender
figure somewhat stooped, ind clad in
the sombre robee of a widow, with
face well muffled by a black veil. Ro-
heseet spirits had risen, and she
Sprang to this figure'a side, saying, eI
Witte thee, Madam, for I think me 1
am thy tirewoman. Set thy coift more
erect, I beg, my lady!"
• "Dost think pass notice, Ro-
hese?" Jocelin asked. "It seelns as it
I would burst asunder these woman's
trappings at every step. Davie, dame,
thou lmet nee so tight incased I can
scarcely breathe."
Roh,eee laughed—"Nay, nay, thou
must suffer for tby looks' sake" Here
DEtmo Bernice broke in impatiently:
"Come, come; there in not time for
foolery. 'We' must be on our way to
Ely. There is another private way
thither known to me, but 'tie too long
and tedious for 'thee. Then, too, I go
by the highway that ye shall be seen.
.4 man will pass by a jewel on his
own dunghill, but spy it in the most
unlikely place. We'll bide at Ely to-
night; thou my niece, Margaret Greg-
ory, and thy tirewoman. Now up, on-
ward to the road. Thou, niece Greg-
ory, lean upon thy maid's arm; the
widowhood sets heavily on thee, poor
s er.;n
admonishing thein with her
staff, the wttch set off, continuing as
they followed, "Later in the day we'll
come upon Will, me Lord Bishop's
fagot -cutter, who by the Abbott's per-
miesion, cuts billets for hie master's
hearth. And, if I mistake not, we'll
drive into Ely at nightfall, instead of
riding poor Shank's mare,"
Then the strangely assorted party
moved onward with the great dog in
their wake,•now running for ahead to
bark at some imaginary enemy, now
circling round them as if to assure
himself that his charges were safe;
and 130, without passing, until they
were on the high road, where in a
few moments they came upon a cart
laden with fagots, driven by a rosy -
checked fellow in a leathern smock,
whom Dame Bernice hailed as Neill
O'Ouse, 'demanding conveyance for
herself and companions.
"Nay, dame," answered the man,
(evilly enough, but evidently much
afraid of her; "seest thou not the cart
carryeth a goodly load of fagots for
• the•bishop?" •
Cast out some, if there he not
roora," said the witch, coolly. "Dost
remember how Robin lost a \vheel
from his cart when it grazed. my gar-
den wall? Or how Jock's brat cough-
ed up bits of rtone, could not say the
sacred name, and when it spoke Satan
cried, 'This bites, but it maketh me
speak it right welt.' 'Twits 'cause his
dame lent me not the earthen bowl I
craved. Bah, churl! 'Twere ill done
to risk broken bones or a spavined
horse for a surly 'No' to weary, travel -
baited women. Let my niece and her
tirewoman mount thy cart, and I will
walk - beside so thou'lt get to Ely a
good hour earlier than usual."
Will, quaking at the witch's implied
threats, and relieved that she herself
clid not propose ertounting behind him,
gave reluctant consent, and Rohese
and eocelin, climbing into the cart,
sat upon the fagots, while the \vital,
good to her word, 'set off at a brisk
Pace, with Dunstan following at her
side, And, strange to say, the horse,
though mending his gait, seemed to
, have much to do to keep up with this
extraordinary old woman. Ere they
had come to Ely, snow was falling:
r and when they had crossed the bridge
and reached the town at twilight, the
houses loomed lilack beneath their
peaked coverings of snow, and as they
entered the quiet, dusky street, the
lofty lantern in, the great octagonal
tower of the chureh gleamed Smelt
. like a kindly beacon to light there on
their way.
CHAPTER XXII.
The woodman's cart rattled over
the stones of Ely, pest a church,
round the corner, and drew 'up at a
great iron gateway, over which was •
a ehield moored in the stone, with
three crowns surmounted by a mitre
—the arms of Ely's blehopric.
"Here I mast enter," said Will, "so
alistreesthou hadst best descend -
wtth thy tirewoman." locelitt and
Rehese descended, -she thanking the
man courteously, and he made them
a sort of clownish bow as they Ineved
off atter the witch, who was fast die-
aPPearIng in the snow -wreathed lat-
tices, of families grouped around their
blazing heard* then past an Itin,
whence three worthy berghers issued
uomeward after a Merry hour in the
ion kitchen over tt pot of mead. They
greeted the- travellere roughly, but
kindly, tb.ough ono (a boisteropa
wight) propelled that they kiss the
wenches oro they let-thent passe bin
his more prudent corepanione re-
strained hint, and the monk and maid
passed unnaoleeted. As they Walked
the houees were fewer and farther
apart, and at last they turned front
the one long street, on which the
prluciptel part of tly lay, into a 'wind-.
Mg lane following the river.
After making Many turaings, Ber-
nice suddenlydleappeared over the
rivor bank, railing them to tolletw,
and to Mind the bank, for it was both
slippery and steep, So they_ deeeend-
ed eautiously almost loaf -Way to the
water, where Bernice Meted the nar-

She went chuckling to a Miler elle-
board, leaaing the girl to look won-
deringly about her. The low, heavy-
rafterea mem was hung with bundle?,
of herbs and bonea 'the latter, the
townefolk whispered, attg by the witch
from the churchyard on dark and
etoreny nights, though they looked
more like the bones Of animals than
of human beings). Aloag one side
of the room ran A rude shelf, whero
were piled flasks, platters and. panel -
alights, one or two great wood covered
books, secured eat brass fastenings,
and an alembic (the Witch dabbled. in
alchemy aa well as sorcery); along
with many other strange objects un-
familiar to leoliese.
Jocelin, dtvestece of female attire,
sat on a low stool before the fire, his
race Blinded by bis hand, lookieg
mournfully into the flames. lie was
like a shipwrecked man, who, having
lost all Save life in the angry waves,
had been thrown destitute on a for-
eign shore, What was he to ilu? His
world wan in chaos. Rehosts could
flee to De Cokefeld, where tihe would
find friends and. safety. What work
—what place was there in the world
for a renegade monk?
Dame Bernice, busied with her
cooking, bustled to and fro, mumbling
to a great black cat. which . followed
her, purring about the room. Finally,
Rohese broke the silence.
"aocelin, dost take thy freedom so
111? Thy sighs tread upon one an-
other like enultuary choir boys in a
Processional. Why to downcast?"
"I was but wondering, lady, where
In all this fair Enlaud I could find a
livelihood, I am too old for a page;
too sad for a minstrel; untrained for
an esquireshIp. I cannot 'attach ray -
self to any scliool, or join the friars,
for soon the Church in all the realm
will know ray wretched story."
Rohese flushed, paled, and with a
half sob, covered her face with her
hands. His words pierced her like a
sword, for too well she knew how
Infamously her own name would ale -
pear in that story. Jocelin, ignorant
of what had saved him from torture,
wondered at her emotion, and after
much questiooing, drew from, her the
steel' of her self -disgrace. He
pat very still for a moment
as one stunned by a blow; then lie
knelt at her feet, and kissed her gar-
ment's hem. Bending there with the
-fitful firelight on his wan cheek, his
eyes fixed on the tear -stained face
above him, like some travel -worn pil-
grim adoring at the shrine of a saint.
Rohese motioning lam to rise, he
stood looking down on hor with the
light of a solemn resolve in his dark
eyes-.
"Rohese, wit)* hest thou done this
thing for one for v,thom torture was
all too fair an end? 'Greater love With
none,' the gospels, read, 'than he who
-giveth life for another.' A. woman's
fair name is more than life to her, and
thou, sweet saint, hast offered thine
up in all innocence and goodnese. It
hath not been in vain, Itohese, for
though I'll not accept thy sacrifice,
the knowledge of it has given in a
work to do; an aira in life for sucha
time as my poor life shall endare. I'll
to the Abbot to deny thy sweet, un-
truthful words, and he, in that I've
given up my life to so attest thine le-
nocence, will know its truth, and right
thee with the world. For thy forgive-
ness and aid, I can never thank thee,
dear, but whether I go to the rack, or
back to the Oubliette, from whtch
thybravery rescued me, Rohese, my
love, my tears, my prayers are all for
thee—farewell!" and turning away;
Jocelin had stepped toward the door,
when he was confronted by the men-
acing form of Dame Bernice.
"Itoity, toity: mlowl and spew!
What 'tis thou pretest. of, cell -bred -
ling? Thou It move no step hence to -
tight. Look at thy garb; the snow fal-
leth heavily, and in it 'Were impos-
sible to retrace thy steps to Bradfield
over the long, dark way. What good
Will thy frozen bode do in vindication
Of m,ald's honor? By Hecate, fool,
spring upon thy back and stick fast
there like a.burr, if thou attemptest to
move ono step. Nay, try if thou likest.
Try thou to open the door of Bernice
of Ely," and she laid a skinny hand
upon the oaken stab.-"Thotelt do more
than locksmith or blacksmith could
e'er compass," and sure enough the
door, though seemingly but latched,
held fast, despite all Jocelin's efforts
to open i. So he gave up all idea
'ot returning to the Abbey that night;
though steadily refusing to resign his
purpose of seeking the Abbot on the
morrow.
Even when Rohese entreated him to
go with her to De Cokefeld, and thence
to Normandy, he remained firm, and
the Witch signed. her to cease her has
portunittes. They presently sat down•
to a supper of savory broth and oeten
cakes. When this was ended, Dame
Bernice partially filled a goblet with
wine for Rohese, When site had fine
tithed drinking, the beldame went back '
to her cupboard for more, lingering
somewhat over the fillleg of the cup.
This she handed Jocelin, who, when
he had drunk about half, set it beside
him on the table, saying:
"By my. troth, Mother, thy wine bit-
eth, cart drink Ito more."
"Vaught -Thou bath monkish taste,
indeed, if thou canst not stoneacit ray
rare green -Center, Rohese complain-
ed not:"
"Nay, it seemed most mild and good
to my tasting," So Joeelin finished
his portion, and the witch carried the
clip aWay with the supper Hauge.
The She breught out her dlstaff and
drew close to the hearth, with Jocelin
ert cite side upon a long settle, and
Rohese at her knee, on the stool the
monk had vacated. Dame Bernice
croned a Welrd song as site twirled

buy a new sealelcitt coat and hat

with thie. kindly offer that she. at once
went and told all her lady friends
about it. Every lady to whom this
