loud as If he were sending through
orders. Well, if this happened. I was
to send the dope to Cassell and he
would transmit It to the battery com
mander as ofllelnlly coming through
the observation post. Then the bat
tery would open up.: Afterwords, dur
ing the Investigation,; Cassell would
swear he received It direct. They
would have to relieve him, because It
was Impossible tfrom his post in the
bnttery dugout to know that the road
wna helntr iitapil of thnt Hma l,w ,..
was being used at that time by the
Germans. . And also It was Impassible
for him to give the target, range and
legrees. You know a battifry chart Is
not. passed, uroupd among the men like.

the Investigation would go to the ob
servation post, and the observing ofll-
r could truthfully swear that I hnd
ot sent the plessnge by 'phone, and
unit no orders to nre nan Deen issued
by him. The Investigators would then
be up In the air, we would be safe, the
Bochts would receive a good bashing,
nnd we would get our own. bnck on Old
Pepper." It was too good to be. true.
I gleefully fell j lu with scheme,
