miles away If the wind was blowing in

IN front of almost every house in the

have to be removed
The edict nearly started a revolution
IN the village. The villagers seemed to

inhabitants appointed committee to
call upon the commander and protest
against the removal OF the historic piles.
but our ranking officer was firm and
said they must go. The next day we
went at the heaps with shovels and
carted the fertilizer to a place a con-
siderable distance from the village. The
village smelled so per cent sweeter after
that, and life was less burdensome.

We were billeted in barns-historic
barns, I should have said, for there was
every evidence that they had been built

around anxiously.

he said. They were all here when

They searched the glade, but not a
end from the river, where a dark ravine
led back into the woods, Billy Belgium
suddenly dropped to his knees and began
to examine the ground.

Peggy. She stopped over and followed
his finger as 1t traced a large track in

Belgium. Maybe a bear"
Peggy's heart gave quick beat A

Boob !" came a loud Shrek. Peggy
was SO startled she jumped forward
tumbling over Billy Belgium. And sud-

roar of wings and twitters and shrieks
of Bird laughter.

screamed the Birds in glee. as Peggy

"Whoo! Whoo!" said a deep voice.
and the Birds, their voices suddenly
stilled. whirled about to where two aw-
full, starry eyes glared at them from
the bushes. In a panic they darted
screaming for the shelter of the trees.
Az they did so, Judge Owl stalked out
from the bushes. 1t was his new gog-
giles that had frightened the Birds.
Then Peggy and Billy Belgium had
their turn to laugh, and they gurgled
and giggled until they almost cried as

sidered it pretty tough to be yanked out
OF the scrap just after we had poked
our nose into 1t and were beginning to
warm up. But orders are orders, and
of course we had to submit.
So very sorrowfully we began a three
days hike for the winter billets many
miles back CT the line.
The village which had been wished on
to us for winter quarters was far from
being spotless town or a model COM

In America It would have had the Board

And the Board of Health would have
had to put in some hard work to bring
the place up to the American standard

After we had been in the village five
minutes We decided that we had an i'm

was to- clean the place up. There were
evidences that we would have to edu-
cate the people before we could bring
this about, but we determined we would
do that II 1t was necessary.

mumbling curses at the aggravating lit

Then the boys would reach for things
to throw at their tormentor. Shoes.
cans, pieces of wood and everything
within reach would fly up at the bird
On rare occasions a missile would reach
its mark, and then the bird would flutter
down to the barn floor. But by this
time all of the fowl and animal king
dom were awake and further snoozlng
was an impossibilty.
Every barnyard cock in the neighbor-
hood took UP the morning song; horses
began kicking at the sides of their
stalls, cows mooed for their grub ana
pigs grunted for breakfast.
But we got even with that feathered
alarm clock, all right. We laid in a
supply of rocks one night in the hay
NOW, and the next morning when the
pest started in his ear-splitting clack we
let him have hail of missiles. A heavy
stone landed on the music box of the
fowl, and we had him for dinner at
noon.
