TIN OF CANNED MEAT
SENT BACK AS A BOMB
Once Crawled Into Open and Gave

BY HERBERT COREY.
Copyright. 1871

PARIS, October 17.-This story from
the Dardinelles came in two parts. The
first was ragged fragment of an un-
identifiable newspaper in which Troop
er Billy Clancy of the Australian Light
Horse told of his experience with Fatty
Burns. Clancy seems to be at present
an inmate of a London hospital. The
second part came from the man who
had been carrying the newspaper frag-
ment in his pocket and who knew Fatty
Burns.
Kept the Ninety-NIiIe Shanty on the
Winton road" said he. Rum old josser
Had beak like one of those old Roman
emperors and an eye as bright as a bead.
His teeth We're white as china cups and
fair shone in the midst of his curly
black beard. Used to look at you with
a benevolent smile.
." Now what can I do for this mucker %
he seemed to say to himself. Something
nice. so he will always remember me-
Then maybe he'd stand you a drink
and maybe he'd make the beer mallet
bounce on your toupee for few times.
You never could tell Every one liked
Fatty. He was kind of unanticipated
like"
Clancy says he rather likes the Turk
The Turk is first-rate fighting man
and any one with Clancy's name would
like him on that account alone. Clancy
says he is a rather decent sort, too
Now and then he paints himself in
green and pretends he's a tree.
Hangs branches about himself like
blooming Christmas pantomime." says
Clancy, and stands out in the sun with
out moving for hours. BY and by some
one of our side pokes his silly head uI
over the trenches and the tree comes tc
life. Manys the Australian the Turk
has nipped that way. That's all right
That's good fighting. We'd do it our
selves If we had the chance"

What Fatty, the Turk, Did.

One morning the Light Horse had
made d demonstration in order to keep
the Turks from thinking of what was
going on somewhere else. They were
chased back to the trenches when they
had done their part, but they left two
men behind them. The sun was cruel
hot, Clancy says. His rife barrel fair
blistered his fingers. These poor chaps
were lying there with their faces i'll
the grizzling sand. The Australians
could not reach them. 1t would have
been suicide TO try.
Here comes Fatty Burns" said some
one.
Turk in stupefaction. He had thrown
aside his rifle and stood up at full
length on the parapet of the trench.
Any one could have potted him at that
range. Clancy doesn't understand yet
why no one did, except that they We're
all fond of the old blighter. Fatty
Burns crawled into the open in a lazy
sort of way auf walked over to the
two wounded men.
Gave them drink of water, he did"
said Clancy, and wiped their lips and
then 1uggcd them over to a bit of
cover we could go out and get
them after night came. We gave a
cheer for old Fatty and he laughed at
US before he went back into his hole.
My word, How his white teeth did
shine against that black beard.
THE only difference between this
Fatty and the other Fatty who runs
the Ninety Mile Shanty on the Winton
road said one of our chaps, is that
the Turk is a blond"
The Australians had more bully beef
than they needed. The cans got to be
a nuisance. They were not permitted
to refuse the stated allowance of bull
each day. Until lately British ration
has been q fixed and immutable thing.
One day ii occurred to some one that
Fatty Burns might like some meat; SO
they tossed three cans into his trench.
There was terrible hullaballoo
when they landed said Clancy. Il
suppose they thought il was some new =
tangled kind Of bomb. But an hour or
so later some Turk threw us a lot of
fine, fresh dates We always reckoned
it was Fatty Burns"
Three or four days afterward Fatty
Burns thrust head and shoulders above
the trench top again and laughed like
sin Then he threw something into
Clancy's trench.
Il Just had time to get my overcoat
down on it before it went off," said he.
Fatty had scooped out the meat from
one of our tins and filled it up with
melinite and pieces of scrap iron. II

How the Turks Fight.

The Australian Light Horse were in
trenches at Russells Top on Gallipoli.
The Turks were intrenched about twen-
ty-five yards away. I'VE could hear
them talking as plain as plain" says
Clancy. And laugh. My word.'
Now and then the two sides would
swap bombs, and the lookouts were
continually firing. The Australians had
learned how to make trench periscopes
out of two pocket mirrors and some
hay wire. Some attached these i'm
provisations to their rifles and man
aged to do some pretty fair shooting.
They are born shots, the Australians.
Every one says that.
One old topper in the trench opposite e
me was d fair treat" said Clancy. He
was so. My word, Used to pop up his
head above the trenches and laugh at
us. Then he'd pop down again. All
along our side the boys would be TAX
ing shots at him. and they never hit.
Then we could hear him laugh. We got
SO we liked him.
Don't shoot at the old orphan" the
boys would say. He looks like Fatty
Burns"
Clancy said he had expected the Turks
to be a lot of old jslIy-bellies in baggy
trousers and wearing shoes turned up
at the ends. He thought they had only
gaspipe guns and were cruel to their
prisoners Used to ina CINE what would
happen II they caught an Australian
by the beard of the prophet" they'd
say-according to Clancy's imaginings,
Build the fire higher under the an
f1del.
But it wasn't that way at all. Their
rifles were good as the Australians
own. and they knew how to use them.
For the most part they were strong
young huskies. At first the Austria
lians thought they would not stand the
steel. Then the ist Brigade tried to
take trench at Lonesome Pine, and
got the surprise of their lives. Bis
millah." according to Clancy, fought
any old way. If he didn't have room
for the point he played the butt, and if
he couldn't do any thing else he bit He
took all the heating the 1st could give
him. He died fighting, but he did not
run"

Reopening of the Danube.

SOFIA, November a, via Berlin, by
wireless to Sayville. November tde-
layed).-The announcement of the re-
opening of the Danube TO navigation
has created d far deeper Impression
here than mobilization. The political
leaders and newspapers express satls-
fac.!c,, that Bulgaria is no longer iso-
lated, because it is now linked with the
central powers by the Danube steam
ers. and therefore look to the future
with assurance that they Will never
la ok military means for carrying on the
war to a successful conclusion.
The reopening of the Danube was con-
sidered so rnomentous an event that King
Ferdinand and Premier Radoslavoff went

been fortified by foreign engineers, it

superiority of Bulgarian artillery and
the decentralization of the Serbian army.
The Vossische Zeitung believed that
with the conquest of Nish a definite
victory for the central powers in the
Balkans already is assured
The Tageszeitung says the Bulgarian
nation now is retaliating for Serbian
piracy" IT believes the German en-
pire with its Austro- Hun garian and
Turkish allies is justified in helping
the people of Bulgaria in great and
Just work.
"Followng the fall of Nish.' says the
Tageblatt's correspondent at Austrian
press headquarters. Serbian troops
which have been holding the Morava
sector between Nish and Narvarin are
beginning to retreat beyond krusevac.

line of forts, the Serbs held Nish only
long enough to permit them to remove
