CHAPTER XVII.

After tea Lieutenant Stores or our
section came into the dugout and In
formed me that was "for" a reconnoi-
tering patrol and would carry six NILS
bombs.
At II 80 that night twelve men, our
lieutenant and myself went out In
front Oh a patrol In No Mans Lnnd.
We cruised around In the dark for
about two hours, Just knocking about
looking for trouble, on the lookout for
Boche working parties TO see what
they were doing.
Around two In the morning we were
carefully picking our way about thirty
Yards in front of the German barbed
wire, when we walked into a Boche
covering party nearly thirty strong.
Then the music started, the fiddler ren-
dered his bill, and we paid.
Fighting in the dark with n bayonet
is not very pleasant. The Germans
took 1t on the run, but our officer was
no novice at the game and didn't fol-
low them. He gave the order down
on the ground, hug Ii close" /,
Just in time. too, because voliey
skinned over our heads. Then In low
tones we were told to separate ana
crawl back to our trenches, each man
ON his own.
We could see the flashes OF their
rifles In the darkness, but the bullets
were going over our heads
We lost three men killed and one
wounded In the arm. If It hadn't been
for our officers quick thinking the
whole patrol would have probably
been wiped out.
After about twenty minutes wait We
went out again and discovered thas
the Germans had wiring party work
ing on their barbed wire. We returned
to our trenches unobserved with the
information and our machine guns I'M
mediately got busy.
The next night four men were sent
out to go over and examine the Ger
man barbed wire and see II they had
cut lanes through II; IL so, this pres
aged an early morning attack ON our
trenches.
OF course had to be one OF the four
selected for the Job. II WAS Just like
sending fellow to the underwriters
to order bis own coffin.

STORMS AND FOREST TREES
vimber Most Firmly Rooted Will En-,
dure Strain Better Than That of
Strongest Wood.

1t is always interesting to watch
he effect of storms anywhere, but in
the woods these effects are most va
ried and remarkable, says a writer.
It frequently happens that a tor
nado or hurricane will follow a GER
tain course and level only the trees
In this line, often leaping from place
to place. In such cases all trees in
it's swath suffer or are blown down !;
but where there is a general very high
wind and all trees are hit with about
the same force it may be noted that
the best rooted ones and not those of
the strongest wood survive.
Wind resistance of the whole tree
has also something to do with the
bending character Of the trunk and
branches, for where these give before
the force of the storm they permit the
wind to slide off. The hickory, above
all, will not yield, and consequently
receives the hardest strain against it's
entire top, whether full leaved or bare
1t may be commonly noticed that in
a mixed woodland, where a hard wind
has driven, there are more hickOries
down than any other trees.
