Indian ill the Canadian Infantry, who is a marvel with his rifle. Ho lias a telescopic sight attached to the riile, and goC3 about as lie likes. Ho is a most silent man, talking hardly to anyone. Ho u niulers about the trendies, and waits ri off a German. One Germau sniper was recently giving a lot of trouble. Officers with glasses tried m vain to locate him. Tho Indian came along, and, without saying a word to anyone, was seen to (iro at a big tree. Down fell tho sniper. Tho Indian saw with his naked eve what the officers with their glasses failed to discover. He told me he put a little nick in the stock of his rifle every tinio he was sur& he had killed a German. I * ir t.v- c: iKht nicks on tho stock". With gleeful coimtcnance he said he was just about to add two more nicks. ' For some unaccountable reason this Indian never fires twice at the same man.
