It was neither dirt nor mud that we walked upon;, ft was a sort of powder. The very soil had been de composed into a fine dust by the ter rific poundirlg it had received. The dust Yose and got into our eyes and mouths and nostrile. There was a lot of sneezing among the members of the Reverend Harry Louder, M. P. tour that day at Arras I And the wire! It was strewn in every direction, with seeming aimlessness. Heavy barbed it was, and bad stuff to get caught in. One of the great reasons for the preliminary bombardment that usual ly precedes an attack iS to cut; this wire. It charging men are caugni in a bad tangled wire they can be wiped out by machine gun-fire before they can get clear. I asked a Highlander, one day, how long he thought the war would last. "Forty years," he said, never bat ting'an eyelid. "We'll be fighting an other year, and then it'll , take us 39 yars more to, wind up all the wire!" Off to my right there was a net work of steel strands, and as I gazed at it I saw a small dark object hang ing from it apd fluttering in the breeze. I was curious enough to go over, and I picked my way carefully through the maze-like network of wire to see what it mighf be. When I came close I saw tt was a bit of cloth. ai(d immediately I recognized the tartan of the Plack Watch the tantous 42d. . Mud and felood held that bit of cloth' fastened to the wire, ak if by a cement. Plainly, it had been torn from a kilt.' Ixstood'ior a moment, looking down at that bit of tartan, flapping in the soft breeze. And as I stood I could look out and Over the rand scape,, dotted with a very forest of little wooden crosses, that marked the last resting place of the men who had died within it. Theyrose, did those rough crosses, like sheathed words out of the wild, luxurious Mingle grass that had grown up in that blood-drenched soil. I woidered if the ow.ner of the bit of tartan were still safe or if he lay under one of the crosses that I saw. There was room for sad speculation herrt Who hart been? Had he swepron, leaving that bit of his kilt as evidence "6f his passing?' Had he been one of those who had come through the attack, gloriously, to vie torv. so thaLhe could look back upon that day'so long as he lived? Or was he dead ocrhaos within a hundred yards of where I stood and gazed down at tbat relic of him? Had he folks at hame' in Scotland who had gone through days of anguish on his account such days ot anguisn as i : 1 asked a soldier for some wire cliDDers. and I cut the wire on either side Of that bit of tartan, and took it. lust as it was.

But I dinna wish to harrow thefeel in?s of those whe read more than I need, and 1 will leave that taste, to tlrtse who saw for themselves , with their eyes, when I had but my ears to. serve me. Yet there was one blood-chilling story that my boy John told to me. and that the. finding of that bit of Black Watch tartan brings to my mind. He'told it tojme as we sat hrfore the tire in my. wee nouse at Dthoon, just a few nights before he went back to the front tor the last time. We were talking of the war what else was there to talk about? It was seldom that John touched on the harsher things he knew' about the war. , He preferred, as i rule, to tell me stories of the courage and the devotion of his men, and of the light way that they turned things when there was so much chance lor grief and care. V "One night, dad." he said, "we naa a battalion of the Black Watch on our right, and they made a pretty big raid On the German trenches. It develop ed into a sizable action for any Other war, but one trifling enough and unimportant in this one. The Ger mans had been readier than the Black Watch had. supposed, and had rein forcennts ready, and 60 of the High landers were captured. The Germans took them back into their trenches, and stripped them to the skin. Not a stitch or a rag of clothing did they leave them. and. though it was April, it was a bitter night, with a wind to cut even a man warmly clad to the bone. "All ryght they kept them there, standingrat attention, stark naked, so that they were half frozen when-the arav. cold lieht of the dawn began to show behind them in the east. And then the Germans laughed, and told their prisoners to go. Go on go back to your own trenches, as vou are" they said , "The laddies of the Black Watch could scarcely believe their ears. There was about 75 yards between the two trench liaes at that point, and the No Man s Land was rough going all shell-pitted as it was. By that time. too. of course, German re oair oarties had mended all the wire before the trenches- So they faced a rough journey, all naked as they were But they started. 1 ' "They got through the wire", with -the Germans laughing tit to kill them selves at the sight of the streaks of blood showing on their white skins as the wire got in its work. They laughed at them. Dad! And" then, when they were halfway -across the No Man's Land, they understood at last, why the Germans had let them go. For fire was opened on them with machine guns.

We had needed no wft nessee except the Bodies of the boys, It hadbeen too dark for the men in our trenches! to see: what was going on and a burst of machine gun fire, along the trenches,,is nothing to get curious or excited about. But those naked bodies; lying there in No Man's Land, had told us a good deal. "Dad that wasan awful sight! 1 was in command of one of the bury ing parties we had to send out.'.
