How Unexpended Ammunition
Was Done Away With.
eonfires Every Day In Belgium for =
Considerable Period Following
End Of the War.

At a certain town In Belgium a
strange bonfire used to be lighted
every night.

shallow trenches that had been filled
with brushwood and sprinkled with

shells and cartridges.
At 5 80 in the afternoon the great
fire was ready to be lighted. and NJ.
f. A. Talbot, an English writer. gives
the following thrilling description of
the way in which 1t was done:
"Sharp to the minute shrieks a
whistle, and there is wild stampede
of workers from the clearing. A
motorcar has driven up unobserved,
bearing the safety inspector and his
assistants.
HE makes a hurried examination
of the now silent and tenantless clear
ing. re-arranging the shells here, and
trimming the trails somewhere else.
Meanwhile an assistant has emerged
from his shack with four long steel
rods an armful of rags, and Il bucket
of paratfin.
"The rags are wrapped round the
ends of the rods and saturated with
the lnfiammable liquid, and sharp at
8 40 a match is struck and four blaZ-
ing torches distributed among the
safety officials.
THE motorcar commences to purr
as the firebugs bend to their task.
Each man is responsible for the fir
ing of so many trenches. 1t is an
inspiring race. The men fit from
trench TO trench in succession, dipping
their brands into the attractive trail
in passing.
"The cordite and picrate catch fire
instantly to run along the ditch with
the speed of the prairie fire.
BY the time the last trench has been
fired the ground is completely envel-
oped in smoke and the men appear
as phantoms.
THE brands are hurrledly discard

"Thatll do, bosun," Gibney thun-

Scraggs: IAN set. Scraggsy. Guess
we're ready to be pulled off. Get down
in the engine room and stand by for

word"
Quick Hurry - Scraggs entreated
as he disappeared through the little
engine-room hatch, for the Ode was
now at the tip of the flood and the
Maggie was humping wickedly and
driving further up the beach. Mr.. Glib
ney turned his stovepipe seaward and
shouted: "Tugboats, ahoyw
"Ahoy!" they answered in unison.
"All readyl Letter go-o-o-o!"
The Squarehead stationed himself at
the bits with lantern and Mr.. Gibney
hastened to the pilot house and took
his place at the wheel. When the haw-
sers commenced to lift out of the sea,
The Squarehead gave n warning shout,
whereupon Mr.. Gibney called the en-
gine room. "Give her the gun" he
commanded Scraggs. Pull against
them tugs for all you're worth. Re
member this is the steamer Yankee
Prince. We must not come off too
readily"
Captain Scraggs opened the throttle
and while the two tugs steadily drew
her off into deep water, the Maggie
fought valiantly to stick to the beach
and even to continue her interrupted
journey overland. She merely sue
ceeded In stretching both hawsers
taut: slowly she was drawn seward

fifteen minutes steady pulling, Mr.. Glib

He rang for full speed astern-and got

wheel and scrambled aft.

Dan Hicks had been upser. and as
he sprawled on his back on deck, he
appeared to Captain Scraggs TO offer
mt least an even chance for victory. So
Scraggs. mastering his courage, flew
at poor Hicks tooth and toenail. His
best was not much but 1t served to
keep Dan Hicks off Mr.. McGuffey
while the latter was disposing of Jack
Flaherty, which he did, via the rail,
even as the tOwboat men had disposed
of Mr.. Gibncy. Dan Hicks followed
Flaherty, and the crew Of the Maggie

nevertheless what they lacked in
horsepower they made up in pugnacity
and the salt sea seldom breeds
craven. Captain Scraggs thrust a
frightened face up through the engine
room hatch, but at sight Of the battle
royal taking place on the deck aft,
his blood turned to water and he
thought only of escape. To climb up
to the bulkhead without being seen
was impossible, however, so, not
knowing what else to do, he stood on
the iron ladder and gazed, pop-eyed
with horror, at the unequal contest.
Backward and forward the tide of
battle surged. For nearly three min
utes all Scraggs saw was an indis-
tinct tangle of legs and arms; then
suddenly the combatants disengaged
themselves and Scraggs beheld Mr.
Gibney prone upon the deck with
CORY face upturned to the foggy skies.
When he essayed to rise and continue
the contest, Flaherty kicked him in
the ribs and Hicks cursed him; so
Mr.. Gibney. realizing that all was
over, beat the deck with his hand in
token of surrender. Hicks and Fla
herty waited until the fallen gladia-
tor had recovered sufficient breath to
sit up; then they pounced upon him.
lifted him to the rail, and dropped him
overheard. Captain Scraggs shrieked
in protest at this added touch of bar
barity, and Dan Hicks, turning, be-
held Scraggsy's white face at the
hatch.
You're next, Scraggs," he called
cheerfully, and turned to peer over the
rail. Mr.. Gibney had emerged on the
surface and was swimming slowly
away toward an adjacent float where
small boats landed. He climbed
wearily up on the float and sat there,
gazing across at Hicks and Flaherty
without animus, for to his way of
thinking he had gotten off lightly, con-
| sidering the enOrmity of his Offense.
The least he had anticipated was three
months in hospital, and so grateful
was he to Hicks and Flaherty for
their forbearance that he strangled n
resolve to "lay" for Hicks and Fla
herty and thrash them individually
something he was fully able to do
and forgot his aches and pains in a
lively interest as to the fate of Cap
tain Scraggs at the hands of the tow
boat men. He was aware that Cap
tain Scraggs had failed ANONYMOUSLY
to rally TO the Gibney appeal to repel
boarders, and in his own expressive
terminology he hoped that what the
enemy would do to the bastard would
be "a-plenty."
The enemy, meanwhile. had turned
their attention upon Scraggs, who had
lodged below like frightened rabbit
and sought shelter in the shaft alley.
He had sufficient presence of mind, as
he dashed through the engine room, to
snatch large monkey wrench of the
tool rack on the wall, and, kneeling
just inside the alley entrance he
turned at bay and threatened the in
vaders with his weapon. Thereupon
Hicks and Flaherty peited him with
Jumps Of coal, but the sole result of
this assault was to force Scraggs
