the farmer reappeared, driving two
blacks, which he hitched to the pillow,
and carried on until four O'Clock, and
then knocked off for the day. That
night troops came through and, as usu>
al. were shelled.
Next morning, at daybreak, we
again took our stations in the hedge

The farmer used the same grays in
the morning, but in the afternoon he
appeared with black and gray, and
again knocked off around four o'clock.

previous days actions-two grays in
the morning and black and a gray
in the afternoon. No troops, no she'll

him, but this arresting a spy on slim
evidence is a ticklish matter. We
didn't want to make a mess of the af-
fair, or perhaps send an innocent man
to his death, so the following day we
again took up our stations. Sure
enough, it was two grays in the morn
ing, but in the afternoon he used two
blacks. That night troops came
through and were shelled. We had
solved the problem. Two grays in the
morning mean nothing. The actual
signal to the enemy was the change
of horses in the afternoon; two blacks
meaning 'troops coming through to-
night, shell the road;" gray and
blacs, "No troops expected, do not

established in an estaminet in little
French village eleven kilos distant.
His confederate was so situated on
the road that troops coming into the
village had to pass the door. AS
troops march only at night while in
the fire sector, his confederate could
safely figure out that the passing
troops would be quartered in his vii
lsge until the next night, when, under
cover Of darkness, they would start
to pass the point in the road by the
old church. He would Immediately
telephone this information to the

cealed itself in the hedge, the farm

weeks afterward that road was only
occasionally shelled, and our troops
