guess, for when we were half dressed
he looked at his watch and it was only
quarter past seven, but we decided
to stay up, since we were that far
along, and then go down and cruise fol
a breakfast.
When we got downstairs and found
some of the hotel people it took them
long time to get it through our heads
that there had been some real excite
ment during the night. The explosions
were 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 rocked! 1t
had struck q narrow three-story house
around the corner from the hotel, and
had blown 1t to bits. Ten people had
been killed outright, and number
died later. The bomb tore fine hole
and hurled pieces Of itself several hum
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. It's motor had been stopped
just before the first bomb was let go,
and it 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 large
square. 1t tore 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
4 room at the house Of the local mili-

were about to 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 60
He insisted that we go on foot, but
could not understand when he tried
to explain why.
We soon 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 cobblestones, as
| warnings not to put in much 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
off the road breathed again.
After a great deal of questioning we
finally reached our destination and
made our 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 few
Paris newspapers, that were several
weeks old, until about eight, when we
had dinner, and fine dinner it 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
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
sion of different kind from any /
had heard before, and we and the bed |
rocked about, like a 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 it
must be the forts, and after some argu
ment 1 agreed with him. He said that
the Germans must have tried an adj
vance under cover of 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 a woman
In window across the street, asking
a gendarme whether it was safe to go
back to bed. Then / got up and took
look into the street. There were a lot ,
If people standing around talking, but
t was not interesting enough to keep I
| tired man up, so back into the hay.
1t seemed about the middle of the
light when Bartel called me, but he
said 1t was time to get out and get to
work. We found he had made a poor z

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 cutting
was done by the heat generated by
the friction Of the edge Of the disk
against the metal. The metal ia melt
ed ut the point Of contact, while the
steel OF the disk, being cooled by the
air, does not reach the melting point.
The disks need no sharpening and do
not wear out so quickly as the toothed
saws heretofore used for cutting met,
al. The faster the disk revoives, the
greater the amount Of heat generated
and the quicker the job.-Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

CHAPTER VIII.
On Runner Service.

One night man named Bartel and
1 were detailed for runner service and
were instructed to go to Dixmude and
deliver certain dispatches to a man
whom will call the burgomaster and
report to the branch staff headquar-
ters that had been secretly located in
I 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 in the neigh
borhood. 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 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; if 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.
Nhan ma hod ha OF
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, timely warning. But after we |
were down the road a bit and had got |
clear we saw Belgian flag whipping |
around in 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
he houses were battered up. We
ried to hail several heads that stuck
themselves out of the spaces between
buildings and stuck themselves back
ust as quickly, but we could not get
IN answer. Finally we got hold of
i man who came out from a little
afe.
He told us that the Germans had
'een through, the town and had shot
up considerably, killing and wound
ng few inhabitants, but that shortly
fterward' small force of Belgian
avalry had arrived and driven the
soches out. The Germans were ex-
ected either to return or begin bonn
ardment at any moment and all the
nhabitants who sported cellars were
iding In them. The rest were trying
0 get out of town with their belong |
1gs as best they could.
On reaching our objective we made
traight for the Hotel de Vile, where (
re were admitted and after short |
yait taken to the burgomaster. We /
uestioned him as to news, for we had ,
cen instructed to pick up any infor-
latiOn he might have as to conditions. !
tut we did not get much, for he could |
OF get about because Of the Germans, !,
