same stretches Of greensward con-
nected by gravelled roads and used
for the landing fields, the same ir-
regular alienation of large and small
buildings, the former hangers and
shops OF mammoth proportions to adj
init the great winged machines, the
latter Offices, exchanges, quarters,
mess halls and barracks. Inside the
hangers and shops is the same atmos-
phere of spaciousness and freedom,
for in repairing airplanes there can
be no crowding of workers or mate
rails. Space is demanded by these
creatures of the air Which perhaps
is one reason why men who have had
army experience reenlist in this branch
of service. With the opportunity to
learn profitable trade, it offers a life
which is all but outdoors.
Yet to any one who followed the
making of the A. L. +. from the day
of rockies under drill to the trium-
plant hour when veterans were deco
rated for bravery after the armistice
had been signed there is a vast and
significant difference between life in
the 1917 cantonment and in the 1919
aviation repair depot 1t is the diff
ference between preparation to kill or
die and preparation to live and be-
ccme an important factor in the ma
tional and industrial life OF peace.
Over the cantonment hung always the
pale gray shadow of possible death.
The faces of men under training were
never quite care free. The army of
peace whistles even as 1t works. A
military commission is no longer the
goal of endeavor.
A lucrative trade and a steady in
crease of pay are the rewards of skill,
just as IL this military post were a
an individual owner.

of us claimed the right TO be the first
to go down through that dark pas
sage-moreover, we did not dare TO
show a light--but the Frenchman
finally won, and we started. 1t was
dark and damp--a grewsome place
and we had to carefully feel our way
along by placing our hands against the
sides of the tunnel. At length we
came to the end and there found our
way barred by the third door, We
listened and heard men talking on the
other side of the door; then we made
ready for the final rush. Revolvers
were quietly prepared for any even
tuality and the safety catches were re-
leased-and with parting handshake
we were ready for the last and most
dangerous part OF the trip.
The soldier who was disguised as
Gordon stepped In front. and then the
signal was given--two quick knocks.
A gangster answered our knock, and
we gave the second signal; and then
gruf voice from the inside de-
manded:
"Who Is there1"
And the French chief answered,
"Quebec!"
We could hear them taking down
the bars and chains from the door,
and then the door swung slowly open.
Shooting Begins.
Just as the French chief stepped

nizing him, shouted "Police!" and
made a dash for a door leading out
of the room on the opposite side.
The others pulled their guns and be-
gan shooting. An automatic spoke
once-the Apache whirled around and,
with wondering look Of startled sur
prise on his face sank to the floor.
Again and again our revolvers barked,
and each time a man dropped and
lost his interest in the fight. When
the smoke cleared away there were
four OF them on the floor, while the
fifth had his hands high. above his
head in token OF surrender. When
