Payroll.

Detroit.-Franz, the police dog,
earned his right to be on the payroll
a few days ago when he arrested one
Dave Mccarthy, a vagrant, who sought
aims from the travelling men emerging
from the Pontchartrain hotel
Dawes appearance and the smell OF
his breath did not appeal to Franz, so
he backed the derelict up against the
wall and barked for his attendant,
Patrolman Thomas Hudson, who had
Franz out for an airing.
On Franz's complaint Dave was
taken to central headquarters, where
he was registered as vagrant.

shell may get a group of soldiers in

not safe shelter in hot corners where
the visitor, instead of looking for
houses which have been damaged by
shell fire, looks for the anomalous one
that has not.
There was one such on an adjoining
road-an estaminet, which is a pub.
lie drinking place or cafe.
A stretcher was being borne into
the door of this estaminet and above
the doorway of the estaminet was
chalked some lettering which indicat-
ed that it was a first clearing station
for the wounded. Lying on stretchers
on the floor were some wounded men.
They looked little stunned, which
was only natural when you have been
as close as they had to burst of a
shell-a shell that made hit. The
conclusion was bound to have this
effect.
A third man was the best illustra-
ton of shell destructiveness. Bullets
make only holes. Shells make gouges,
fractures and pulp. He too had band
aged head, and had been hit in sew
eral places; but the worst wound was
in the leg, where an artery had been
cut, causing a loss of blood. He was
weak with sort of a Where am II"

which had hit his leg had hit his head
or his neck or his abdomen he would
have been killed instantly. He was
an illustration of how hard it is to
kill a man with several shell frag-
ments unless some of them strike in
the right place. For he was going to
live;. the surgeon had whispered that
fact in his ear, that one important
fact.
And it was the one successful shell
out of the thousand; that one which
was supposed to make the waste of
the other nine hundred and ninety

Returning by the same road by
which we came. an automobile passed
swiftly by. We had a glimpse of the
big, painted red cross on an am
bulance side and, at the rear where
the curtains were rolled up for ven
