Frank protested weakly when selz-

Smoke Signals.

A French paper gives the story of
smoke from chimney being employed
to give information to the enemy. The
members of a battalion of French in
fantry that had moved into a we'll
covered country and thought them
selves concealed were inundated with
shells The officers were astonished
at the accuracy with which these shells
were delivered and sought to find who
was giving signals to the enemv In
a farmhouse at no great distance from
the battalion a German, disguised as
a peasant, was found seated before a
chimney in which was a great wood
fire. The pseudo-peasant was alter
nately raising and lowering a chin
ney cover or screen which caused the
smoke to come from the chimney In
long or short puffs as he desired.
While doing this he looked through a
window upon the field where the
French battalion was performing its
evolutions. These signals which had
been agreed upon between the spy and
the enemy, readily informed the Ger
mans of the movements of the little
troop. On discovery of this stratagem
the false peasant was arrested and i'm
mediately shot.
