1t was Old Scotty's great ambition
10 De sniper or "body snatcher" as
Mr.. Atkins calls it. The day that he
was detailed as brigade sniper he cele-
DRAFTED his appointment by blowing the
whole platoon to Tags.
Being a Yank, Old Scotty took a lik-
ing to me and used to spin some great
yarns about the plains. and the whole
platoon would drink these In and ask
Tor more. Ananias was a rookie COM
pared with him.
The ex-plainsman and discipline
could not agree, but the officers all
liked him, even if he was hard to man
age so when he was detailed as a
sniper a sigh of relief went up from
the officers mess.
Old Scotty had the freedom of the
brigade. He used to draw two or
three days rations and disappear with
MS glass, range finder and rifle, and we
would see or hear no more of him
until suddenly he would reappear
with a couple of notches added to
those already on the butt of his rifle.
Every time he got a German it meant
another notch. He was proud of these
nOtches.
But after a few months Father
Rheumatism got him and he was sent
TO Blighty; the air in the wake of his
stretcher was blue with curses. Old
Scotty surely could swear; some of his
outbursts actually burned you.

While they are talking, an old Jew
named key Cohenstein comes along.
and Abe engages him for cashier. After
engaging key they meet an old
Southern negro called Sambo, and
upon the suggestion of key he is en-
gagged as porter Then the three of
was how were the men to reach these
Ieoxes, but to key this was mere de-
hill
He got long ropes and tied one end
Ground each rafter and then tied lot
nf knots In the ropes. These ropes
would take the place of stairways.
We figured out that the rafters
would seat about forty men and sold
that number of tickets accordingly.
When the ticketholders for the boxes
got a glimpse of the rafters and were
Informed that they had to use the rope
stairway, there was howl of indigna-
ton, but we had their money and told
them that If they did not like 1t they
could write to the management later
and their money would he refunded
but under these conditions they would
not be allowed TO witness the perform
ance that night.
After little grousing they accepted
the situation with the promise that II
the show was rotten they certainly
would let us know about it during the
performance
Everything went lovely and it was
bowling success, until Alkali Ike APP
peared on the scene with his revolver
loaded with blank cartridges. Behind
the bar on shelf was long line of
bottles. Alkali Ike. was supposed to
start on the left of this line and break
six of the bottles by firing at them with
his revolver. Behind these bottles q
piece of painted canvas was supposed
to represent the back of the bar, at
each shot from Alkali's pistol a man
behind the scenes would hit one of the |
bottles with his entrenchlng tool |
handle and smash It, to give the i'm.
preston that Alkali was good shot.
Alkali Ike started In and aimed at |
the right of the line of bottles instead /
of the left, and the poor boob behind 1

we Immediately sold'- OUT Then q
brilliant idea came TO key Cohenstein.
Why not use the rafters overhead, call
them boxes, and charge two francs for
seat on them? The only difficulty
them, arm In arm, leave to take pos
session of this wonderful palace which
Abe has just paid $4,000 for. (Cur-
tain.)
In the second act the curtain rises
on the interior of the Diamond Palace
saloon, and the audience gets It's first
shock. The saloon looks like a pig
pen, two tramps lying drums on the
floor, and the bartender In a dirty
shirt with his sleeves rolled up. asleep
with his head on the bar.
Enter Abe. Sambo and key, and the
fun commences.
One of the characters in the second
act was named Broadway Kate, and
had an awful job to break In one OF
the Tommies to act and talk like a
woman.
Another character was Alkali Ike, an
Arizona cowboy, who just before the
close of the play comes into the saloon
and wrecks 1t with his revolver.
We had eleven three-hour rehearsals
before l thought it advisable to pre-
sent the sketch to the public.
The whole brigade was crazy to
witness the first performance. This
performance was scheduled for Friday
night and everyone was full of antici-
patton; when bang orders came
through that the brigade would move at
two that afternoon. Cursing and
binding was the order of things upon
the receipt of this order, but we
moved.
That night we reached the little viii
lage of s. and again went into rest
billets. We were to be there two
weeks. Our company Immediately got
busy and secured the village for a
suitable place in which to present our
production. Then we received another
shock.
A rival company was already estab-
lished In the village They called
on the left, and then the boxholders
turned loose: but outside Of this little

CHAPTER XVII.
Out in Front.


After tea Lieutenant Stores of our
section came into the dugout and In
formed me that was "for" reconnoi-
tering patrol and would carry six Mills
bombs.
At II 80 that night twelve men, our
lieutenant and myself went out in
front on patrol in No Mans Land.
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 rem
dered his bill, and we paid.
Fighting in the dark with a bayonet
is not very pleasant. The Germans
took it 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 it close"
Just in time, too, because volley
SKINNED over our heads. Then in low
tones we were told to separate and
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 ii hadn't been
for our officers quick thinking the
whole patrol would have probably
been wiped out.
After about twenty minutes walt we
went out again and discovered that
the Germans had a wiring party work
ing on their barbed wire. We returned
to our trenches unobserved with the
and our machine guns Inn
mediately got busy.
The next night four men were sent
out to go over and examine the Ger
man barbed wire and see If they had

CHAPTER XIX.
On His 0Mr.

OF course Tommy cannot always be
producing plays under fire but while
in rest bFllets he has numerous other
ways of amusing himself He is
great gambler, but never plays for
large stakes. Generally, in each COM
pany, you will find a regular CanIield.
This man banks nearly all the games
of chance and is an undisputed author
ity on the rules of gambling When
ever there is an argument among the
TOmmies about some uncertain point
rs to whether Houghton is entitled to
Watkins sixpence, the matter is taken
to the recognized authority and his de
cisiOn is final.
The two most popular games are
Grown and Anchor" and House"
The paraphernalia used in Grown
and Anchor" consists of piece of can
vas two feet by three feet This is
divided into six equal squares. In these
squares are painted club diamond
heart, spade, crown. and nm anchor,
one device to a square. There are
three dice used. each dice marked the
up his gambling outfit in the corner of
a billet and starts bally-hoong until a
crowd of Tommies gathers around;
then the game starts.
The Tommies place bets on the
squares the crown or anchor being
played the most The banker then
rolls his three dice and collects or pays
on l.n ka MIA
the crown and one shows up on the
dice, you get even money, if two show
up. you receive two to one, and If three,
three to one. If the crown does not ap-s
pear and you have bet on ii, you lose,
and so on. The percentage for the
banker is large if every square is
played, but if the crowd is partial to.
say two squares. he has to trust to
luck. The banker generally wins.
The game of House" is very popular
also. II takes two men TO run it. This
game consists of numerous squares OF
cardboard containing three rows of
numbers. five numbers to a row. The
run from one to ninety. Each
card has a different combination.
The French "estaminets" in the VIII
lagos are open from eleven in the morn
ing until one in the afternoon in ac-
rordance with army orders.
After dinner the Tommies congre-

put on sketch entitled, "Blighty--
What Hopes?' They were the divi-
sional concert party.
We hoped they all would be soon
In Blighty to give us q chance.
This company charged an admission
of franc per head, and that night
our company went en- masse to see
their performance. 1t really was good.
1 had sinking sensation when |
thought of running my sketch In OPP
position to 1t.
In one of their scenes they had a
soubrette called Flossie. The soldier
that took this part was clever ana
made Incorporating and chic girl.
We Immediately fell in love with her
until two days after, while we were
on a march, we passed FlOssie with
cher" sleeves rolled up and the sweat
pouring from ."her" face unloading
shells from motor lOrry.
AS our section passed her ] yelled
out: "Heilo, Flossie; Blighty-What
Hopes?'' Her reply made our love die
out instantly.
"Ah, go to h-lP
This brought quite a laugh from the
marching column directed ut me. and |
instantly made up my mind that our
sketch should Immediately run in op-
position to "Blighty-What HopesT
When we returned to our billet from
the march. Curley Wallace. my the
atrical partner, came running over to
me and said he had found swanky
place in which to produce our show.
After taking off my equipment. and
followed by the rest of the section,
went over to the building he had picked
out. 1t was a monstrous barn with a
platform at one end which would make
an ideal stage. The section got right
on the lob. and before night had that
place rugged out in apple-pie order.
The next day was Sunday and after
church parade we put all our time on
a dress rehearsal, and it went fine.
7 made four or five large signs an
nouncing that our company would open
ND that evening at the King George the
Fifth theater, on the corner of Ammo
street and Sandbag terrace. General
admission was one-haif franc. First
ten rows in orchestra one franc, ana
boxes two francs. BY this time our
printed programs had returned from
London, and / further announced that
on the night of the first performance
a program would be given free OF
charge to men holding tickets costing a
franc or over.
We had an orchestra of seven men
and seven different instruments. This
orchestra was excellent, while they
were not playing
The performance was scheduled TO
start at 6 p. m.
