guess, for when we were half dressed
he looked at his watch and it was only
q quarter past seven, but we decided
to stay up, since we we're that far
along, and then go down and cruise for
a breakfast.
When we got downstairs and found
some Of the hotel people 1t took them
q long time to get it through our heads
that there had been some real excite
ment during the night. The explosions
We're those of bombs dropped by a
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 rockedl 1t
had struck q narrow ~three-story house
around the orner from the hotel, and
had blown 1t to bits. Ten people had
been killed outright, and q number
died later. The bomb tore q fine hole
and hurled pieces Of itself several hun
dred yards. The street itself was
filled with rocks, and q 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 ven 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 90,
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 a hole in the cobble-
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
a room at the house OF the local mill

were gray uniforms, with tincups and
accouterments that belonged to the
Germans before our artillery and ma
chine guns got to them.
Our stretcher bearers were busy
carrying the wounded back to first-aid
dressing station, for, Of course, we had
suffered too. From there the blesses
were shipped to the clearing station.
The dead lay in the trenches all day
and at night they were carried out
by working parties to "Stiff park" as
I called 1t.
A man with anything on his mind
ought not to go to the front-line
trenches. He will be crazy inside of
a month. The best way is not to
care whether it rains or SHOWS: there
r plenty Of important things to
worry about.

We're about 10 start wHea the bRFgo-
master himself came running out BE
ordered US 10 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 o o saw the probable reason
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 eobhleStcneS, as
warnings not to put in muLh time
around those places. Also, there were
notices stuck up all around warning
people of the mines and ~fOrbidding
heavy carts to pass. When we got
of the road l breathed again!
After q great deal of questioning we
finally reached our destination and
made u report to the local command
ant. We told him all We could and In
turn received various information
from him. We were then taken over
to the hotel. Here we read a few
Paris newspapers. that were several
weeks old, until about eight, when we
had dinner, and a fine dinner 1t was,
too.
After we had eaten all we could, and
wished for more room In the hold, we
went out into the garden and yarned
q while with sOg9s geDAarmes. and
then went to bej. We had q big room
on the third floor front. We had Just
turned in, and were oil set for a good
nights rest, when there was an explo-
sion Of a different kind from any I
had heard before, and we and the bed
rocked about, like a canoe In the wake
of q 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 it
must be the forts, and after some argu-
ment I agreed with him. He said that
the Germans must have tried an I'D.
vance under cover of a bombardment,
and that as % 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 a woman
in q window across the street, asking
a gendarme whether 1t was safe to 60
back to bed. Then / got up and took
q look into the street. There were q lot
Of people standing around talking, but
1t was not interesting enough to keep
a tired man up, so back into the hay.
It seemed about the middle Of the
night when Bartel called me, but he
said 1t was time to get out and get to
work. We found he had made a poor

Saws for Cutting Metal.

Not so very long ago the discovery
was made In Germany that metals
could be sawed easier and quicker
with rapidly revolving smooth disks
OF steel, than with toothed circular
saws. 1t was found that the cuttins
was done by the heat generated By
the friction of the edge of the disk
against the ,oetal. The metal is melt
ed Mt the point of contact, while ths

The disks need no sharpening and do

greater the amount of heat generated

CHAPTER viii.
On Runner Service,

One night q man named Bartel and
l were detailed for runner service and
were instructed to go to Dixmude and
deliver certain dispatches to a man
whom I will call the burgomaster and
report to the branch staff h%eadquar-
tiers that had been secretly located in
another part Of town. We were to
travel in an automobile and keep q
sharp watch as we went, for Dixmude
was being contested holly ut that time
and German patrols were in the neigh
borh0od. 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 a r
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.
1t 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 If a French flag flew over
the town the coast would be clear; IL a
Belgian, that u 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, if it should be a German
flag, a 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 so 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
In answer. Finally we got hold Of
a man who came out from a little
cafe.
He told US that the Germans had
been through the town and had shot
1t up considerably, killing and wound
ing a few inhabitants, but that shortly
afterward a small force of Belgian
cavalry had arrived and driven the
Boches out. The Germans were ex-
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 a policy to terrorize
the people of the town.

Deputy SheriGs Van Vnet and Anderson found Jones and his wife and
their automobile at night in front of a supply station. "Throw up your

pocket and MORALLY wounded Van vnet with his first shot His second missed
Anderson, who sprang into the shadows. Jones crouched behind the machine
and began firing. His wife got into the cars mpted her revolver and took
up a rife.
Thereupon Anderson, who had baked at killing a woman, sent one of his
two loads of buckshot into her body, which crumped up yer the steering
wheel.
Jones' seeing his wife dead, left cover and headed for Anderson, firing
as he went. The deputy gave him the other charge Of buckshot in the head.

"His brother Is very rich," said the
man leading the weeping man.

"His brother Is dying and he him

stranger.
"And he cries?" asked Louis.
