"A VERY GALLANT GENTLEMAN"
The "Times" gives a wonderful story of the recent fighting round Ypres. A young lieutenant.had posted himself in a tower a few hundred yards from the German trenches. He had telephoned his orders regularly for half an hour. Then he said, without any trace of excitement, to the operator on the other side: "I hear tho Germans coming up the stairs. I have my revolver. Don'tbelieve anything more you hear." With these words he dropped the receiver; and he has not been heard of since. So passed to his long rest another "very gallant gentleman."
