Then he coughed, y] stumbled, pitched forwand end lay still. His body seemed to float to the rear qt me. I could hear sh*rp cracks in the air about me. These were caused vi by passing .rifle bullets. Frequently, M mv rlirht find lpft Httip tmnrtri nf dirt would rise Into the alr*and a ricochet ballet would whine (to Its way.

Then smatebed-up barbed wise came Into ew and i x] seemed earrled on a tide to the rear. Suddenly, to front of me loomed a bashed-ln trench about four fleet wide. ^1 Queer-looking forms like m^d turtles were shambling up Its wall. One of these forms seemed to slip $nd then ^ rolled to the bottom of the ti^nch. I leaped across this Intervening space. The man to my left seemed to pause In X midair, then pitched head dowil Into X the German trench. I laughed out* loud to my delirium. Upon alighting; on the other aide of the trench I came jto With a sodden jolt Right In front! of me X1 loomed a giant form wlth^a rtty which looked about ten feet long, on (the end of which seemed seven ba^rctaeta. these xflashed In the air lo front <k me. Then through my mind flashed the admonlJ Hon of our bayonet Instructor back In X] Blighty. Be had said, "whenever you get la a eharge and run youtr bayonet no to theJUltinluea Qermajl.thp Frlta ^ reached from your grutp. Do not aste time, If the bayonet la fooled i hto equipment, by patting your foot i hie stomach and tugging at the rifle > extricate the bayonet. Simply ress the trigger and the buUet will ee it" In my present situation this as the logic, but -for the life <rf pe could not remember how ho had told e to get my bayonet Into- the Oer* an. To me this was the paramount sue. I closed my eyee and lunged irwfcrd. My rifle was tern from my inds. I qaust have gotten the Ge?? an because he had disappeared, bout twenty feet to my left front as a huge Prussian nearly slxfeet >ur inches In height, a fine specimen physical manhood. The bayonet om his rifle was missing, but he utched the barrel In both hands and as swinging the butt around hie head, could almost hear the ewlsh of the itt passing through the air.
