"You," he ordered, "will remain behind." "The rest of you listen," the colonel hurried on. "You are to row Lieutenant Culver across the river where he will receive a dispatch from one of our agents. The boat is ready. The oars are muffled. Needless to say, the less noise you make, the better. God pity you if you fall into enemy hands. You have one chance in ten. It's that one chance we're counting on. You are to shove off in exactly ten minutes." He sat down heavily. The lieutenant led the men out. The colonel turned to the one who remained. "I asked you to stay," he said not unkindly, "because you look exhausted. Go back and rest." The man moved forward. "Listen, sir," he gasped, "you've got to let t Xv tf .

The colonel returned to his dugout and sat watching the minute hand on his watch creep onward. Twenty minutes later the lieutenant and his four men came in. He laid a heavy envelope on the colonel's desk. "The dispatch, sir," he said briskly. The colonel relaxed and smiled. "Good. Your Government" A terrific explosion sifted a thin trickle of dirt from the roof. The men stood as they were, listening but hearing no sound other than their own hard breathing. An orderly slid in under the canvas flap, straighlened, saluted. "A lone raider dropped a single bomb, sir. It was a direct hit on dugout C. Only one man missing. The others were gone" "Thank you," the colonel said.
