CHAPTER XXIV (Continued) These damned rockets! They seem to burn for an hour, and a man can not make the least movement with-l out bringing the bullets whistling round. But there is nothing for it. I must get out. Falteringly I work my way farther. I move off over the ground like a crab and rip my hands sorely on the Jagged splinters, as sharp as razor blades. Often I think the sky is becoming lighter on the horizon, but it may be merely my imagination. Then gradually I realize that to crawl in rhe right direction is a matter of life or death. A shell crashes. Almost immediately two others. And then it begins in earnest. A bombardment Machine-guns rattle. Now there is nothing for it but to stay lying low. Apparently an attack is coming. Everywhere the rockets shoot up. Unceasing. I lie huddled in a large shellhole, my legs in the water up to the belly. When the attack starts I will let myself fall in the water, with my (ace as deep in the mud as I can keep it without suffocating. I must pretend to be dead. Suddenly I hear the barrage lift. At once I slip down into the water, my helmet on the nape of my neck and my mouth just clear so that I can get a breath of air. I lie motionless—somewhere something clanks, it stamps and stumbles nearer—all my nerves become taut and icy. It clatters over me and away, the first wave has passed. I have but this one shattering thought: What will you do if someone jumps into your shellhole? Swiftly I pull out my little dagger, grasp it fast and bury it in my hand once again under the mud. If anyone jumps in here I will go for him; it hammers in mv forehead; at once, stab him clean through the throat, | so that he can not call out; that’s j the only way; he will be just as | frightened as I am when in terror we fall upon one another, then I ( must be first. Now our batteries are firing. A , shell lands near me. That makes j me savage with fury, all it needs j now is to be killed by our own shells; I curse and grind my teeth in J the mud; it is a raving frenzy; in j the end all I can do is groan and j pray. The crash of the shells bursts in I my ears. If our fellows make a counter-raid I will be saved. I press j mv head against the earth and i NO STOMACH PAINS OR DIZZY SPELLS NOW Never Expected to Be Well Again, But Is in Perfect Health. Sufferers from stomach distress j will be glad to read a letter written by Mrs. D. M. Berbe, 823 W. Cleve- I land St., Freeport, 111., describing j her happy release from years of | agony. She says: "I had indigestion awfully bad for a long time, and it got so severe I hardly dared to eat. The food would sour and lie in a lump, caus- i ing gas pains and cramps that tor- j tured me all day and kept me awake : at night. I grew weak and nervous, j and my constant headache was al- | most unbearable. At times. I would be so dizzy I would nearly faint. ! All the time I was taking medicines j for constipation, but without improvement. One day I read where j Viuna had brought health in a case j just like mine, so I sent to the drug i store for a bottle. I never before experienced such quick and blessed i relief. Before that first bottle was gone. I was a different woman, and ‘ now I am eating hearty meals, with- ; out one sign of indigestion or gas trouble. The awful head-aches and j dizziness have disappeared, and my j constipation has been conquered, j T get up each morning refreshed ' by a sound nig it's sleep. Viunai I worked wonders for me, as I never j exoected to be a w ell woman again.” ! Viuna has worked wonders in j thousands of desperate cases of kid- j ney trouble, back-ache, stomach j trouble and rheumatism. It may j be the making of you.

listen to the muffled thunder, like the explosions of quarrying—and raise it again to listen for the pi sounds on top. The machine-guns rattle. I know our barbed-wire entanglements are strong and almost undamaged: parts of them are charged with a powerful ! electric current. The rifle fire increases. They have ‘ not broken through; they have to , retreat. I sink down again, huddled, strained to the uttermost. The banging, the creeping, the clanging becomes audible. One single cry j yelling amongst it all. They are raked with fire, the attack is repulsed. j Already it has become somewhat • lighter. Steps hasten over me. The , first. Gone. Again, another. The rattle of machine guns becomes an unbroken chain. Just as I am about to turn round a little, something heavy stumbles, and with a crash a body falls over me into the shell hole, slips down, and lies across me. I do not think at all, I make no ; decision—l strike madly home, and feel only how the body suddenly ! convulses, then becomes limp, and collapses. When I recover myself, i my hand is sticky and wet. The man gurgles. It sounds to me as though he bellows, every gasping breath is like a cry, a thunder —but it is only my heart pounding. I want to stop his mouth, stuff it with earth, stab him again, he must be quiet, he is betraying me; now at last I regain control of myself, but suddenly have become so

feeble that I can not any more lift my hand against him. So I crawl, away to the farthest corner and stay there, my eyes glued on him, my hand grasping the knife—ready, if he stirs, to spring at him again. But he won't do it any more. I can hear that already in his gurgling. I can see him indistinctly. I have but. one desire, to get away. If it is not soon it will be too light; it will be difficult enough now. Then as I try to raise up my head I see it is impassible already. The machine-gun fire so sweeps the ground that I would be shot through and through before I could make one jump. I test it once with my helmet, which I take off and hold up to find out the level of the shots. The next morhent it is knocked out of my hand by a bullet. The fire is sweeping very low over the enemy line to escape being picked off by one of the snipers if I attempt to get away. The light increases. Burning, I wait for our attack. My hands are white at the knuckles, I clench them so tightly in my longing for the fire to cease so that my comrades may come. Minute after minute trickles away. I dare not look again at the dark

figure in the shell-hole. With an effort I look past it and wait, wait. The bullets hiss, they make a steel net, never ceasing, never ceasing. Then I notice my bloody hand and suddenly feel nauseated. I take some earth and rub the skin with it, now my hand is muddy and the blood can not be seen any more. The fire does not diminish. It is equally heavy from both sides. Our fellows have probably given me up for lost long ago. CHAPTER XXV IT is early morning, clear and gray. The gurgling continues. I stop nay ears, but soon take my fingers away again, because then I can not hear the other sound. The figure opposite me moves. I shrink together and involuntarily look at it. Then my eyes remain glued to Sit. A man with a small pointed beard lies there, his head is fallen to one side, one arm is halfbent. his head rests helplessly upon it. The other hand lies on his chest, it ia bloody. He is dead. I say to myself, he

must be dead, he doesn't feel anything any more; it is only the body that is gurgling there. Then the head tries to raise itself, for a moment the groaning becomes louder, his forehead sinks back upon his arm. The man is not dead, he is dying. but he is not dead. I drag myself
