Out in Front.

After tea Lieutenant Stores of our
section came into the dugout and in
formed me that was "for' reconnoi-

bombs.
At II 80 that night twelve men, our
lieutenant and myself went out in

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
wards in front of the German barbed
wire. when we walked into Boone

with three bombs, bayonet and re-

five feet at time, ducking star shells,

I'm the afternoon or the fOurth day
Of Fritz contemptuous use of the road
+, mentioned the captain and were at
our posts as usual. Fritz was strafe-
ing US pretty rough, just like he's doing
now. The shells were playing leap
frog all through that orchard.
81 was carrying on conversation
in our tap code with Cassell at the
other end. 1t ran something like this:
"'Say, Cassell, how would you like
to be in the saloon bar of the Kings
Arms down Rye lane with hottie of
Bass in front Of you, and that blonde
barmaid waiting to fill 'em up again?
"Cassen had fancy for that par
ticu2ar blonde. The answer came back
tin the shape of volley of cusses. L
changed the subject.
'After a while our talk veered
round to the way the Boches had been
exposing themselves on the road down
on the chart as Target II. What he
said about those Boches would never
have passed the reichstag, though 1
believe it would have gone through
our censor easily enough.
'The bursting shells were making
such a din that ] packed up talking
and took to watching the captain. He
was fdgeting around on an old sand
bag with the glass to his eye. Occa-
sionally he would let out grunt, and
make some remark I couldn't hear on
account of the noise, but guessed
what it was all right. Fritz was get

"Cassen had been sending in the tap

didn't bother with it. Then he sent

Cassen turned loose.

"Under these condition I told him to
spit out his scheme. It was so daring
and simple that it took my breath
away. This is what he proposed:
'sIf the Boches should use that road
again, to send by the tap system the
target and range. I had previously
told him about our captain talking out
loud as if he were sending through
orders. Wei, if this happened, I was
to send the dope to Cassell and he
would transmit Il to the battery com
mander as officially coming through
the observation post. Then the bat

ing the investigation, Cassell would
swear he received it direct. They
would have to relieve him, because 1t
was impossible from his post in the
battery dugout to know that the road
was being used at that time by the
Germans. And also it was impossible
for him TO give the target, range and
degrees. You know battery chart Is
not passed around among the men like
a newspaper from Blighty. From him
the investigation would go to the OBJ
servation post, and the observing Off
Ger could truthfully swear that l had
not sent the message by phone, and
that no orders to fire had been issued
by him. The Investigators would then
be up in the air, we would be safe, the
Boches would receive a good bashing,
and we would get our own back on Old
Pepper. 1t was too good to be true.
l gleefully fell in with the scheme,
and told Cassell was his meat.
'Then I waited with beating heart
and watched the captain like hawk.
"He was beginning to fdget again
and was drumming on the sandbags
with his feet. At last, turning to me,
he Safd:

me with:
"Keep those internal fingers still.

ton
! "My heart sank. Supposing he had
rumbled that tapping then all would
be up with our plan. I stopped drum
