How's King these days?"
Betty sat down weakly on the davenport It
was the first time the dog had been mentioned.
II gave him to fellow in the country" said
Tom casually. HE barked too loud"
He didn't add that the sight of King had
reminded him constantly of his quarrel with
Betty, and that he had deliberately sold the
dog for his own peace of mind
why in the world didn't you let me know"
cried the brother-in-law, I'D have given q lot
for that dog"
Tom hesitated a minute, then called him
aside and a whispered conference ensued.
There's nothing anywhere near as hand

"but there are four of them and they're an

Tom, where do you suppose Queen is all

Bettys eyes were big and round as she
peeped in at the little speck of wriggling,
squirming dog.
"Tom." she cried, ut looks just like Queen"

the signal is given, "Stopl Mines!" The SQUAD
ron goes back. The commander of the mine
sweepers gets hell. by Joe, and. is told to 90
back and do a good job. And he goes back and
sweeps and sweeps Not a mine can possibly
be there.
When he is through he reports that the mas
sage is positively clear. Meanwhile the ofhcer
IN the buoy is signaling for more mines to be
laid IN the waters that had been so thoroughly
swept. More mines are laid. The convoy
comes down again-bang! And another ship is
lost.
That kind of business went on until the
British naval men, at first greatly puzzled man
aged to figure out what had happened
THE British fleet lay safely in harbor at
Scapa Flow. The entrance was well pro-
tected, and our submarines could not get In
to take torpedo shots at the big ships But by
Joe we cooked up an idea for getting some
mines in.
Floating mines, you know, will drift with the
tide, and If our submarines laid mines at the
entrance, they would go drifting in. The only
trouble was that they would drift short dis
lance and then would drift out. If the tide
had always just continued going in, 1t would
have been all right. However, we built some
mines that had good deal of intelligence.
They had clockwork mechaniSms that made
them work this way: They were set and dropped
in at full low tide. and when the tide began to
rise the mines drifted in. Six hours later the
tide turned and began to run out. At this
point the clockwork in the mines caused them
to sink and lie at the bottom, where they would
not drift. After six hours more, when the tide
beginning to rise again, the mines rose,
too and drifted in some more. In that way
they worked their way into the great harbor
where the British grand fleet lay at anchor.
One night--bang!-an a patrol boat hit a
mine. How could mines be in the harbor?
They thought it must be a submarine that had
torpedoed the craft. Submarine in the har-
Dor, by Joe. And the destroyers came charg-
ing, chasing all over the water for the supposed
U-boat. Bang and then another bang, and a
couple of destroyers blown up. Then they
began to suspect mines.
1t was thus that the great British battleship
Bulwark was blown up We had expected to
get a battleship or two, although the great craft
were lying at anchor. You know how ship
swings at anchor with the tide. We hoped that
some of our mines that sneaked away in would
cross the path of one of the British giants as
went
Aye. they played plenty of tricks during the
war. These that 1 have described are not

put Queen inside and continued her walk.

Then week went by, and another
No word from Tom.
Betty watched her chance and once more
pushed Queen into the Jennings back yard.
Funny she thought, that King is never
around any more"
This time she waited until quite late before
telephoning Tom.

Betty prepared the most tempting breakfast
she knew, and when Tom left for the office,
Queen had not yet returned

he promised
Better come for dinner, Tom" she sug-
gested, feeling certain Queen would be there,
and that the silly program would have to start
all over again.
Sure. All right" he agreed. Suppose you
do get lonesome"
Betty spent the whole day planning and pre-
pairing dinner She was so busy, in fact that
she didn't notice that Queen had not put in an

They swore they had sunk submarines And
they kept the King of England's solid gold
watches and were happy.
After that the British admiralty gave the
order that no steamer should ram a perscope
until they saw that the periscope was diving
When we learned this then we thought by
Joe, we'll let those shippers get some more gold
watches" And We got up another awful trick.
We made dummy that looked just like a
periscope and coming tower when floating in
the water. They had big mines on them too.
We put these on decks of submarines one to
U-boat, so that the submarines could turn
them loose. And the skipper is sailing
along. by joe there is periscope and what
the hell? He doesn't US. He is coming to
the surface. His coming tower is coming up.
This time We will get gold watch from the
King"

rine ran away from the vicinity after loosing
the dummy coming tower, and there is nothing
to ram but the mine.

the shippers to keep a close watch and not try
any ramming unless they were perfectly sure
Also the King wasn't going to give any more

officer in with a supply of provisions and with
pillows which to sleep.
Then the submarine laid light cable back to
our base at Zeebrugge. in Belgium. The officer
in the buoy kept watch and reported everything
by telephone. We had ine-laying submarines
and the British had to keep a mine-sweeping
force busy all the time.

Thames. Mine sweepers would go out first
and sweep for mines. and when the sweeping
was over they would signal "Au clear" The
officer in the buoy would wait till the mine
sweeping was completed and then he would
signal to a mine-laying submarine which was
lying in readiness. The submarine would go in
and, while submerged, let loose lot more
mines in the water that had been swept.
Now the big convoy comes down-bang! One
ship hits mine and starts to sink. Instantly
