were about 10 start when the burgo,
master himself came running out. He
ordered us to leave the car there and
said he would direct US where TO GO
He insisted that We go on foot, but
could not understand when he tried
to explain why.
We soon saw the probable reasou
for the burgomaster's refusal to ride
In the car. All around for about q
mile the roads were heavily mined and
small red flags on iron slaves were
stuck between the cobblestones, q
warnings not to put in much time
around those places. Also, there were
notices stuck up all around warning
people Of the mines and forbiddina
heavy carts to pass. When we go1
on the road I breathed again!
After great deal Of questioning We
finally reached our destination and
made our report to the local command.

turn received various Information
from him. We were then taken owe,
10 the hotel. Here we read a few
Paris newspapers. that were several
weeks old, until about eight, when we
had dinner, and q fine dinner It was
too.
Aftsr we had eaten all we could, and
wished for more room In the hold, we
went out into the garden and yarned
a while with some gendarmes, and
then went to bed. We had big room
on the third floor front. We had Just
turned In, and were all set for a good
nights rest. when there was an explo.
sion Of q different kind from any ]
had heard before, and we and the bed
rocked about, like q canoe in the wake
Of stern.wheeler.
There were seven more explosions
and then they stopped, though we
could hear the rattle Of a machine gun
at some distance away. Bartel said II
must be the forts, and after some argu.
ment I agreed with him. He said that
the Germans must have tried an ad
vance under cover Of a bombardment
and that as soon as the forts got into
action the Germans breezed. We were
not worried much, so we did not get
out Of bed.
A few minutes later we heard foot
steps on the roof, and then q woman
In window across the street, asking
gendarme whether It was safe to "a
back to bed. Then got up and tool

Our stretcher bearers were busy
carrying the wounded back to flrst-aid

suffered too. From there the blessea
were shipped to the clearing station.
The dead lay in the trenches all day
and at night they were carried out

guess. for when we were half dressed
he looked at his watch and it was only
a quarter past seven. but we decided
to stay up. since we were that far
along, and then 60 down and cruise for
breakfast.
When we got downstairs and found
some Of the hotel people 1t took them
long time to get 1t through our heads
that there had been some real excite
ment during the night. The explosions
were those Of bombs dropped by .
Zeppelin, which had sailed over the
city.
The first bomb had fallen less than
two hundred yards from where we
slept. No wonder the bed rocked! Il
had struck narrow three-story house
around the corner from the hotel, and
had blown It to bits. Ten people had
been killed outright, and a number
died later. The bomb tore a fine hole
and hurled pieces Of itself several hun.
dred yards. The street itself was
filed with rocks, and a number of
houses were down, and others wreck
ed. When we got out into the street
and talked with some army men we
found that even they were surprised
BY the force Of the explosion.
We learned that the Zepp had sailed
not more than five hundred feet above
the town. Its motor had been stopped
just before the first bomb was let go,
and 1t had slid along perfectly silent
and with all lights out. The purr that
we had thought was machine guns,
after the eighth explosion. was the
starting Of the motor. as the Zepp got
out Of range Of the guns that were be.
ing set for the attack.
The last bomb had struck in a large
square. It tore hole in the cobbie-
stone pavement ABOUT thirty feet
square and five feet deep. Every win
dow on the square was smashed. The
fronts Of the houses were riddled with
various sized holes. All the crockery
and china and mirrors In the house
were In Fragments.
Not much more than an hour before
the Zepp came, We had been sitting In

CHAPTER VII.
On Runner Service.

Su b0OstslVt 00GVu0Vo
One night man named Bartel and
I were detailed Tor runner service and
were instructed to 60 to Dixmude and
deliver certain dispatches to q man
whom will call the burgomaster and
report to the branch star headquar-
tiers that had been secretly located in
another part Of town. We were to
travel in an automobile and keep a
sharp watch as we went, for Dixmude
was being contested holly at that time
and German patrols were iii the neigh
borho0d. No one knew exactly where
they would break out next.
So we started out from the third
line trenches, but very shortly one of
our outposts stopped us. Bartel car
ried the dispatches and drove the car
too, SO it was up to me to explain
things to the sentries. They. were
convinced after a bit Of arguing. Just
as we were leaving a message came
over the phone from our commander,
telling them to hold us when we came.
It was lucky they stopped us, for 9TH
erwise we would have been out of
reach by the time his message came.
The commander told me, over the tele-
phone, that IL a French dag few over
the town the coast would be clear; IL a
Belgian, that our forces were either
in control or were about to take over
the place but that German patrols
were near. After this we started
again.
When we had passed the last post
we kept a sharp lookout for the flag
on the pole Of the old fish market, for
by this we would get our bearings-
and perhaps, IL 1t should be German
flag, timely warning. But after we
were down the road a bit and had got
clear we saw a Belgian flag whipping
around in a good, strong breeze. But
while that showed that our troops or
the British were about to take over
the place It also indicated that the
Germans were somewhere near by.
Which was not go cheerful.
As we went through the suburbs
along the canal which runs on the
edge Of the town we found that all
the houses were battered up. We
tried to hail several heads that stuck
themselves out Of the spaces between
buildings and stuck themselves back
just as quickly, but we could not get
an answer. Finally we got hold of
a man who came out from q little
cafe.
He told us that the Germans had
been through the town and had shot
It up considerably. killing and wound
ing few Inhabitants, but that shortly
afterward small force Of Belgian
cavalry had arrived and driven the
Boches out. The Germans were e1-
pected either to return or begin q bonn
bardment at any moment and all the
inhabitants who sported cellars were
hiding in them. The rest were trying
to get out Of town with their belong
ings as best they could.
On reaching our objective we made
straight for the Hotel de Vile where
we were admitted and after a short
wait taken to the burgomaster. We
questioned him as to news, for we had
been instructed to pick up any infor-
nation he might have as to conditions.
But we did not get much, for he could
not get about because Of the Germans,
who had made 1t q policy to terrorise
the people Of the town.
We had just got into the car and

Saws for Cutting Metal.
Not so very long ago the discovery
was made In Germany that metals
could be sawed easier and quicker

Of steel. than with toothed circular

was done by the heat generated by
the friction Of the edge of the disk
