"It's 'seven-ten' now," he said. "I am going to stand by. Cheero; best of luck!" I left him, and stood by my machine. The minutes dragged on. Still the guns crashed out. The German fire had died down a bit during the last half-hour. I glanced down our trenches. The officers were giving final instructions. Every man was in his place.

Frank Dean will be there with the dog-cart and Fairy-foot to-morrow evening to catch the seven-ten train for Glaston leaves here about an hour by sun.

Lost two of my dogs yes, my fine, full-blooded hounds you remember Damon and Pythias?
