Suddenly a bend In the path brought Eadie Into the presence of a great many drawn-faced, muddy men. Connor was there, and Uarvey, and a number of other officers, also man' doug()boys with bayoneted rifles. There were some wounded, too. It did not need Eadie's front-line experience to see that these men bad recently been fighting, and hard. Connor was In conversation with one of the offi· cers. "It's useless to go any farther," Eadie heard one of the new ofllcers say. "But Is there anyone up there?" asked Connor. The officers all looked at each other. "Well, we don't know,'' said one. "There was an order from the brigade to retire. The chances are that there are still a couple of companies up there that ha¥en't got brains enough to come out." "In that case," said Connor, "we'll be on our way.'' "\\'hua," cried all In one breath Three or four officers and half a dozen e!lllstPd men began to explain to Connor that It was Impossible to go any farther. That just beyond the woods was a stretch of open country onder direct observation, not only from a ridge In front, but from the bills on the east bank of the Meuse. EadiP and Jake thankfully put down their coils of wire and sat ou them, but they reckoned without their officer. "I have orders;'' sald Connor, "to lay this wire to the advanced units 80 they can ask for artillery Hre when they want lt, and so thnt they can dl reef the lire upon anything they please. Airplanes can't see because of the fog and IJalloons get shot down as soon as they go I'P· so wire com· munlcatlon Is necessary and esseu· Ual." •'Well, don't be In a rush," spoke up one of the otllcers. "If there Is anyone In front of os they will e buck here pretty soon. There's no use laying wire and then pulling It liP al!ain. You'd only get bnlf wuy out and meet them coming back." Connor seemed to besitn te. "What do you think, Harvey?" asked be, turn. ing nrCiund. No answer. "Harvey," cried Lieutenant Connor again. He looked here and there. A group of Infantrymen were parceling out an 0. D. shirt for cleaning rags. Another cleaned a machine gun under cover of a shelter-halt No sign of Mr. Harvey. Connor strode back along the muddy cowpnth to the busb that hid the turn. On the other side of the bush was a further vista of wet woods and muddy path. There was no Mr. Harvey and there were no wire· stringers. Just beyond the bush on the ":round were six large coils of telephone wire. Lieutenant Connor went back to Joke and Eadie wltb his lip pouting more than ever. The two latter sut on their coils of wire with faces tre!' of guile. "Do you know where Mr. Uar\"ey Is?" asked Connor. "No, sir," replied Eadie, quietly. Connor was about to say something more, but as be glanced toward the group of officers with whom he hnd be~n talking he saw that they were . grinning broadly. Many of the In fantry bad stopped work and were regarding Lieutenant Connor wtth amusement. 'fhe lieutenant's lip came out another quarter of an Inch. "Pick up your wire, you two," said be, "and follow me." With never a glance to right or lett, he stalked forward. As he passed the group of officers a gray·balred man stepped out and took Ills arm, walk· lng alone beside tilm. "Listen," said this officer In an undertone, ··you told Harvey that these two men were a couple of bard tickets. You've been cursing them ell tbe morning. What do you suppose they'll do to you when you get up there \n the woods with them alone? You'd better stay here with us for a bali hour or so. The advanced units are all falling back l:larvey'll be back In a mtnnte or two blmselt Be's just gone for a tittle walk." "To b-1 with Harvey and you, too!" replied Lieutenant Connor. The older officer went away without an swering. Tbe tlu·ee men started forward through the woods, Jake unrolling hi~ coil behind blm. They passed a mu· chine gun, an Isolated sentry, anct then In a step or two came to the edgt> of the woo<ls and saw before them o long stretch of bill and meadow thai faded out of sight behind drifting curtains of rain. Here they baited. Lieutenant Con nor put down bls own wire and looked soberly enough at the Held tn front of them. It was deserted, but thut was no sign that hostile eyes were not watching. There was a lot of ar tion tn that waste of wnod anti meadow. A man bad but to close tts eyes to Imagine himself at home In n busy section of a great city.

He took two steps otr the path and there, In a depression of the ground, were two men, covered with a shelter half, from one of which tbel! helmets protruded and from the other end a thin black rod, a rod that vi· brated and coughed and emitted a light blue haze.

"You aren't .shooting at the field; you said you were shooting at the woods." "Well, there's troops over there that way," repli<'d the gunner. "Oh, G-d !" groaned b:a(lle.

This road went over a hill as a surcingle goes over a sad(!le, and two banks, one like the pommel and the other the cuntle, stnrk up on either side. The tteld thnt the men had · crossed was a plntPau. tor the road plunged away on one side to the vat. ley of the Meuse. and took nn abrupt drop to a dry wuter cou•·s~ on the other side. The saddle itself was a hundred yards or so Inn~ and this hundred yards was tfllerl with ml'n. all husy di!!glng themselres holes In the side hill. There was 8 dressing sta· tlon, o row of clny·fnced wounded. and another row of men rovered with blankets.
