FuIton,s DemoIegas.

On March II, 1914, the~congress of
the United States appropriated the
sum of 1920, 900 for the construction of
a war vessel in the shape of a "'foat-
ing battery" designed by Robert Full
ton. This battery was intended to be a
deadly affair, for it was planned to
shoot scalding 1water and redhot can
non balls at the enemy. This was the
first steam war vessel built by the
American government She was Chris
tened the Demologas, but after the de-
signer's death her name was changed
to the Fulton in his honor She was
launched Oct. 20, 1914, but her engine
was not put In until the following May.
By that time the war Of 1912 was over.

paused in the midst of his converse
ton and said: ''Frau1ein, you are free
Go to your duties for the present.
Nobody stopped me or molested me,
and 1 literally ran to Ians room. He
was standing at the window, and, even
laboring under the great excitement
that I was, I noticed he was wearing
his uniform. I nearly reached his side
before he realized my presence, SO pro
foundry lost was he in his thoughts.
When he turned and saw me for one
brief moment the hard lines around
his mouth softened, and over his face
there came a heeting expression or
happiness mixed with almost bewtl-
derment and I heard him murmuf,
sAdeler' At that moment there came
a sound as if dozen. guns doomed
near us, followed by another and an
other in quick succession. The whole
building trembled.
His voice shaking with emotion, he
said: ''AN day and night they have been
going. The din has been hell itself let
loose At first our guns replied, and
then, as the enemy's fire grew heavier
and more persistent, ours grew fainter

those who were not dead or dying fall

had done it thoroughly. Even then my
Keeling brain fought back the hideous
suspicion that haunted me. And now
you're here. By the devils own luck
you were able to escape safely. No, it

Tor some time had gone along, See
ing no signs of life, and then, moving
like ghost1y shadows, I came upon
squad of bombardiers. They made
strange picture, recalling traditions of
medieval fighters. Around their mid
die they carried some twenty Or thirty
bombs, little cylinders fastened on a
long stick; around which fell streamers
of ribbon. This clothing suggested a
mixed breed of Scotchmen and red In
diRns, who had taken to wearing the
Indian headdress as a kilt. 1 had
heard many stories of what their work
was like in the trenches. Crouching
down among the barbed wire .entan-
clements, with their supporting infan-
trymen, who carried fixed bayonets,
they raised themselves a little from
the earth and, selling one of their rock
etlike bombs from their belts, grasped
it by the stick and hurled it high above

N soon as I felt the sentry was
49,. near to throw aside my khaki
coat, but the snow was So cold and
wetI was chilled to the bone and shiv-
cred at the thought Of leaving it, so
was still wearing cap, coat and all
when I heard the sentry call out,
who goes there?''
A fr1endy' cried back quickly and
advanced and gave. the countersign.
Evidently 7 was expected, as he di-
rected me to go a half mile farther
down, where I would find some one
waiting for me. Passing little inn,
half dead with cold and fatigue, went
in to ask for q hot drink The land
lady was French peasant, young and
pretty. She eyed me curiously, but did
not venture to speak. I had to wait,
as she was getting breakfast ready
for some soldiers. They were fresh
from the trenches and were covered
with mud from head to heel. I
thought idly they looked like football
players at the end of the third quarter.

when the door opened and a familiar
figure, bundled in great coat, came
in the room. In an instant / recog-
njzed him; it was Won SehuIling. He
came straight over to me and. said
very gently: "Fraulein. I've come for
you I am leaving tonight for home on
leave, and wanted to talk with you,
and this seemed a good opportunity
As soon as you are finished we had
better be off. They are anxiously
awaiting you down there"
