He says he has decided to help me, and that I need not watch thesafe, etcetera, at night. I therfore gave him a key to the sidedoor, and now feel much much better. He also exclaimed not to have any of theCorps detailed to watch William in the daytime, as he can do so,because the Familey is now spending all day at the Red Cross.

He thinks the Password idea fine, as otherwise almost anybody couldsteal a medal and get into the mill.

William seems to know that I know something, and this night,while opening the door for me, he said:

"I beg pardon, Miss Bab, but I see Henry is driving you today."

"It is not hard to see," I said in reply, in a hauty manner. It is notthe Butler's business whom is driving me, and anyhow I had nointention of any unecessary conversation with a Spy.

"Your own automobile being out of order, miss?"

"It is," I retorted. "As you will probably be going to the Garage,although against orders, while Henry is out, you can see it yourself."

I then went out and sat in front in order to converce with Henry,as the back is lonely. I looked up at the entrance and William wasstanding there, with a very queer look on his face.

3 P. M. Mr. Schmidt is late and the Corps is practising, having nowgot to K.

Luncheon was a great surprize, as at 12:45 a automobile apeawhite on the skyline and was reported by our Sentry as aproaching rapidly.

When it came near it was seen to be driven by Pemberton Brooks, and tocontain several baskets, etcetera. He then dismounted and salutedand exclaimed:

"The Commiseriat has sent me forward with the day's rations, sir."

"Very good," I returned, in an official manner. "Corps will line upand count. 0dd numbers to unpack and evens to set the table."

This of course was figurative, as we have no table, but eat uponthe ground.
