They were week of unceasing work, but for some hour of each day he "had Leonie as a com panion and it was that, as he perfectl well recoznized, which was at the bacl of his peace of mind. A good many of these days wor spent by Hall sitting beside Leonie 1 the front of her ambulance.

There had been another attack at zero hour that morning, not driven home by the enemy, but accompanied by a good many casualties. "I wonder does all this activity mcan that they are concentrating for the big attack here," Hall speculated. "Nc," Leonia said briefly, avoiding a shellâ€"pit in the road by a quick sweryve.

In any case it would have been imâ€" possible to talk, for the rattle and roar was unceasing. shaking the very ground beneath the wheels, and shells were falling uncomfortably near, as was anâ€" nounced by a thud and crash in a field to their right. Hall, forced to hold on tightly to keep his seat, found himself trying to analyse his feelings, to decide whether he was afraid. On the whole, he thought not: there did seem to be time for any such sensation in this mad clattering rush. He caught himself thinking, ridiculously, that they were really goâ€" ing too fast to be hit. Leonie swung on two wheels round. a corner, plunged throuzh half: frozen mud axleâ€"deep, in the rear of a pile of bricks and debris which had once been a large building. In the dubious shelter of this rubâ€" bish heap a temporary hospital of beards, canvas and sandbags had been erected. Leonie drew up beside it, and descended, followed ‘by Hall. That drgary. drauzhty mockery Oof a building held a pitiful assemblageof dead and wounded, crowded together in that small space, the icy air almost unbreathable. Leonie spoke to the brave, bearded young doctor in charge and he gave curt orders to the stretcher bearers, obvicusly relieved at the prospect of some ol his charges being removed. The ambulance was quickly logdded, but at ! the last moment a poilu limped up. He gasped out something to the docâ€" tor before collapsing, half unconscious, and the Frenchman spoke Lo Leonic and Hall. "He says that there are some of his comrades, badly injured, just round the angle of the ruin; a shell burst aâ€" mongst them," he said. "It would be well that they should go back in the ambulance with you, if . .. " he shrugâ€" zced his shoulders, ‘"if any of the poor devils are still alive, which does not seem very likely." "I‘ll help to bring them in," Hall voluntecred, and lifting one end of a stretcher, plunged into the darkness of the shadows thrown by the ruin, stumâ€" bling over the rough ground, slipping Interesting Meeting of the Junior C.W.L.
