The incidents are, as I say, every bit
true; the feelings of the man are true
—I know from all I underwent in the
fighting over in France.
We will call him Albert Lloyd. That
wasn't his name, but It will do:
Albert Lloyd was what the world
terms a coward.
In London they called him a slacker.
His country had been at war nearly
eighteen mouths, and still he was not
in khaki.
He had no good reason for not en-
listing, being alone In the world, hav-
ing been educated In au orphan asy-
lum, and there being no one dependent
upon him for support, lie had no good
position to lose, and there was no
sweetheart to tell him with her lips
to go, while her eyes pleaded for him
to stay.
Every time he saw a recruiting ser-
geant he'd slink around the corner out
of sight, with a terrible fear gnawing
at his heart. When passing the big re-
cruiting posters, and on his way to j
business and back he passed many, he
would pull down his cap and loot; the
other way from that awful linger
pointing at him, under the caption,
"Your King and Country Need Von;"
or the boring eyes of Kitchener, which
burned into his very soul, causing him ;
to shudder.
Then the Zeppelin raids—during j
them, he used to crouch in a corner <>! ;
his hoarding-house cellar, whimpering
like a whipped puppy and calling upon
the Lord to protect him.
Lven his landlady despised hlin, al-
though she had to admit-that he was j
"good pay."
lie very seldom read the papers, but
one momentous morning the landlady j
put the morning paper at his place be-
fore he came down to breakfast. Tak-
ing his seat he read the flaring head-
line, "Conscription Hill I'assecJ," and
nearly fainted. Excusing himself, he i
stumbled upstairs to his bedroom,
with the horror of it gnawing into his j
vitals.
Having saved up a few pounds, he :
decided not to leave the house, and to !
sham sickness, so he stayed in his room j
and had the landlady serve his meals
there.
Every time there was a knock at the ;
door he trembled all over, imagining it

mates in the trenches, for they were
going "up the line" on the morrow, to
"take over1' their certain sector of
trenches.

tm conect ou*oew.
On the next day, he came to; far
distant voices sounded in his ears.
Opening his eyes, in the entrance of
the dugout he saw a corporal and two
men with fixed bayonets.
I he corporal was addressing him:
'<>et up, you white-livered blighter!

ord : It'll be you up against the wall,
and a good Job too, Oct hold of hliu,
nicn. and If he makes a break, give him
the bayonet, and send It home, the cow-
ardly sneak. Come on, you, move,
we've been looking for you long
enough."
Lloyd, trembling and weakened by
his long fust, tottered out. assisted by
a soldier on each side of him.
They took him before the captain,
but could get nothing out of him but:
"For God's sake, sir, don't have me
shot, don't have me shot!"
The captain, utterly disgusted with
him, sent hint under escort to division
headquarters for trial by court-mar-
tial. charged with desertion under fire.
They shoot deserters In France.
Muring his trial, Lloyd sat as one

In the darkness, in single file, tin
company slowly wended their way
down the communication trench to the

white and drawn face.
After they had relieved the company
ill the trenches, Lloyd, with two of the
