In all cases the patient should be made as comfortalble as possible.

We SELECTING AND ALANTING FRUIT TREES, 4 German who had It is not too early for those who intend to plant a few fruit trees in the coming season to make selec- tions and generally prepare for the work, ‘Some people have the idea that if fruit trees can. be bought that are three, four or five years old, they would bear much sooner than trees one or ‘two years of age, from the time of budding. Such however, is not the case. One or two year old trees are best for ap- ples.

In the morning T rwent back again to our men in the line, The 10th, Battalion-had estab- lished themselvas partly in a diteh along the Cambrai road not far from Epinoy and partly in out- posts behind the German wire. The country was undulating and in places afforded an extensive view of the — forward = area, German machine gun emplacements’ were in all directions and our men. suf- fered very severely. I was in an owpost with one of the companies when I saw in the distance one of our men crawling on his hands and knees up: to a German machine gun emplacement. The: helmets of ths enemy could be distinctly | seen above the parapet, It was very ex- citing watching. the plucky fellow approach the place of danger with the intention of bombing it. Un- fortunately just as he reached the side of the trench the Germans must have become aware of his presence, for they opened fire and he had to crawl back again ag fast as. he could. LANCE CORPORAL 0O.C. ‘Though many wounded were; brought in, we knew that some were still lying out on the other side of the wire in full view of the enemy. As soon as it was dark enough, a bearer party, which I ac- companied, started off. to try and collect these men. With: my cane I managed to lead the party through a gap in the wire. | came to a poor fellow who had been lying there since the previous night with a smashed arm and leg, He was in great pain, but the men got him in safely and the next time I saw him was in a Toronto hospital where he was walking about with a wooden leg and © his arm ina sling. I went down to an outpost where I saw some men. Wye could only talk in whispers as we knew the Germans were close at hand. They told me they were one of the companies of the 10th, Bat- talion. I asked “Where are your offic gone,’ replied, “A (Lance Corpora I re- joined the bearers and we had great difficulty in getting back, av we could not find the gap in the wire, which seemed to — go in all directions. The 10th, Battalion was relieved that night by the 8th, the O.C4, of which made his headquarters with the C.O. of the 5th Battalion in a large dugout by the sunken road. There late at night I shared bunk with a young machine gun officer, and a few hours of some- what disturbed sleep. The next morning, Sunday, September the 29th the fourth anniversary of our sailing from Quebec, our men were having a hard time. The Germaia defence at Cambrai was most determined and they hada large quantity of artillery in the neighborhood, I went back to the road and into the trench beyond the wire and found a lot of men there. The parapet was so low that the men had dug what they called “Punk holes” in the clay where 2” They said, “They are all “Who is in command?” They they put as much of their bodies as they could: Sitting ina bend of the trench where I got a = good view of the men I had a service for them, and as it was the festiv- al, I read out the epistle for St. Michael and All Angel’s Day and spoke of the guardianship of men which God had committed: to the Heavenly Hosts. Going.down the trench later on, I came to a place from which I could see with my glasses a German machine gun em- placement and {ts crew. I went back and asked for a sniper. A man who sald he was one came up to me and I showed him the enemy and then directed his fire. 1 could see from little puffs of dust where his bullets were landing. He was a good shot and I think must have done some damages for all of a sudden the machine gun opened fire on us an we had to dive into the trench pretty quick, I told him that I thought we had better give up the game as they had the had made his dressing station in the looking determined quiet to shell the village. The dressing station was in themselves had used for the same purpose, so shells began to fall-in the yard.

I believe an Imperial office. also was hit in the abdomen that he died. The chaplain of tne 10th Battalion whp happened to be standing in the sunken road got some. men together quickly and came to our help. I found myself being carried off in a. German sheet by four prisoners, They haw forgotten to give me my glasses and were very much amused when I called for them, but.I got ¢hem and have them now. The major not only lost his leg but lost his glasses as well. The enemy had evidently been watching us from some observation post in’ Cambrai for they followed us with another shell on the other side of the road which caused the bearers to drop me quickly. The © chaplain walked beside me till we came to the aid post where there. were some stretchers. I was placed on one and carried into the dressing station at Hayncourt. They had been having a hard time that day, for the village wags heavily shellea.

HOME ONCE MORE On Sunday morning the 4th, May, 1919, on’ the Empress oft Britain, after an absence of four years and seven months, I return: ed to Quebec. On board were 16th, Battalion with whom sailed away in 1914, the 8th, talion, the Machine Gun Batt the 3rd Field Ambul of the Engineers, Like those awaks ing from a dream, we saw onea f more ihe old Fock city standing out in the great. river. There was the landing and the greeting of loving friends on the wharf, within a stone’s throw from the placy whence we had sailed away, While ' was shaking hands with friends an officer told me TI had to inspect, the Guard of Honor which tha kind O.C., of the vessel had _— fur- nished. I did not know how to do this properly but I walked througty. the rows of stalwart bronzed mei: and looked into .thety faces which’ were fixed and immovable. Each man was an original and every: unit in the old ‘Division wag ré preseted. For four years and seavel months, they had been away from home. fighting for liberty and ety. flization. (Many of them ‘wore de- eorationg; many had been wound- ed, 'No General returning victor rom a war could have Guerd of Honor, ot ake troons had to the shiv till the train was Teady.

A General wrote to me later on to say he had been terribly shocked to hear I-was wounded, but that ity was nothing in comparison with ate) shock he felt when he heard that} I had taken to drinking rum. Every-' one in the dressing station. was as|” usual most kind. The bitter thought to me was that I was go- ing to be separated from the .- Ist, Division. The nightmare that had haunted me for so long had at last come true,.and I was going to leave the men before the war was over, For four years they had been my beloved companions anid my constant care. I had been led by the example of their noble cour- age and their unhesitating per formance of the most arduous dut- jes, in the face of danger an@ death, to a grander conception of manhood and a longing to follow them, if God would give me grace to do so in their path of utter self sacrifice. I had been with them constantly in their joys and — sor rows and it did not seem to be nossible that I could now go and desert them in that bitter fight. OUT OF THE WAR When the doctors had finished binding up my wounds, I was carr- ie off immediately to an ambulance in the road, and placed. in it with four others, one of whom was dy- ing. It was a long journey of four hours and a half to No. 1 -C.C.8. at Agnez-les-Duisaons, and we had to stop at QJueant on the way. Our journey lay through the area | over which we had just made the grey. advance, Strange thoughts © and memories yan through my minh Faces of men that had gone and in- cidents that I had forgotten came back to me with great: vividness. Should I ever again see the splen- did battalions and the glad and eager lives pressing on continuous- ly to Victory? Partly from shell holes, and partly from the wea? of heavy traffic the road was very bumpy. The man above me was in: terrible agony and every fresh jelt made him groan. The light of | the Autumn afternoon was wearing away rapidly. Through the open door at the end of the ambulance as we sped onward, I could see the brown colourless stretch of coun. try far in the twilight and then vanish into complete darkness and I knew that the great adventure of my life, among the most — glorfous men that the world has ever _ pro- duced, was over.

In one way I knew it must be a last farewell, for though some of us will meet again as individuals it will be under altered conditions. Never again but in dreams will one gee the great battalions marching on the battle ploughed roads of -France and Flanders, ‘Never again -will one seo them pouring single file into the muddy’ front trenches.

But there | on the vessel that day the fighting men had come — home jn all their strength and comradeship. I stood, on the gangway full of conflicting emotions.

The End SLOW! Jimson had barely taken off his® coat when his mother in law, pale’ of face, rushed up to him and grabbed his arm, ; “Oh, Arthur!” she gasped, “that great, heavy grandfather clock in the hall has just crashed down on the spot where I was standing only a minute ago!'” Jimson did not, seem to be greats ly agitated at the news and only muttered: “H'm!
