One by one shapes began to rise and wander over the pitted ground. They gathered into groups find the murmur of their voices was like wind across the fields.' Said one: "I thought it hard to die out here, but when I see these people working, straining to make their homes, I think it iimst be harder still to live." "My family has returned," another spoke, "I lived here once. It seems so long ago. But when I came back here to ' fight, my house was all destrcyed, my people gone. And then I fell there, in my own front yard that shell-hole, see it, where the poppies grow? My little girl came there to pick some iiowers this afternoon. I kissed her hand; she laughed, and thought a poppy tickled her." lie smiled. "If they could know " "It must be nearly time," another

said. "The lights are out. The people are asleep." A bugle whispered somewhere In the rlark. The shapes fell into ranks; the ghostly army marched. Before the homes the spirits took their posts and waited for the :'"'-n hour to come. From far they saw the menace creeping up vaguely, until the moon broke : through the mist and showed it grim i

and hideous the army of Despair and faithless Doubt, that sought fo drive the people from the land. The siege was hard, but throueh tb.e

lory., blue night the shapes stood firm j till. Just before the dawn, the hour of j full strength came. Then with a rush j the living spirits fought, and put the ! armies of Despair and Doubt to flight. I j The old man stood before the door j of the abrt and watched tho morning j turn from rose to gold. "Marthe," he i cried. "I was foolish last night. It I must have been that I was tired. What j better gift can we have than the land j where our sons have fought? What an i

inspiration lor our nonies : mere s no j such thing as despair, Marthe. I was j wrong, very wrong last night. Today j I only hope In the sky." I And the living spirits of No Man's ! Land srn'.led in their hard-won sleep.
