Then Old Pepper continued:

A persuader Is Tommy's nickname
for n club carried hy thn bombers. It
Is about two feet long, thin at one end
mill very thick nt flic other. The thick
end Is si mhlcd with sharp steel spikes,
while through the ceuler of the club
there Is a nine-Inch lend bar, to give
It weight and balance. When yon get
ii prisoner nil yon have to do Is just
stick this club up in front of him. nml
believe me, the prisoner's patriotism
for "IVntst-nland neber Alles" fades
nwny nwl he very willingly obeys the
union, of his csptor. If, however, the
prisoner get hlgbdoned and refuses to
follow yo,., simply "persuade" him by
first removing his tin hat, and 'hen ' slide, secure a couple of prisoners, and

wish us "the best o' luck, males." We
would blind at him under our breaths;
that .lonali phrase to us sounded very
ominous.
Without any casualties the minstrel
troop arrived nt Suicide ditch. Ihe
front-line trench. Previously, a wiring
party of the Uoyul Knglnecrs had cut
a lane through our barbed wire to en
able us to get out Into No Man's Land.
Crawling through this lane, our
party of twenty took up an extemlcd
, order formallun about, one yard apart.
We had a tap code arranged for our
movements while In No Man's l.nnd,
because for various reasons It Is not
safe to curry on a healed conversation
n few yards In front of Krils' lines.
Tho otlleec was on the right of Ihe
line, while I was on the extreme left.
Two taps from Ihe right would be
passed down the Hue until I received
them, then I would send back one tap.
The olllcer, In receiving this one lap,
would know that his tinier had gone
down Ihe w hole line, had beeu umh r
stood, ami that the party was ready
(o obey the two-tap signal. Two taps
mennt that we were to crawl forwa.-d
tilowlv and believe me. very slowly
for live yards, nail Ihrn halt to awi.it
further Instriiellnns. Three' taps meant,
when you arrived within striking d's
Innee o' (he Ceri.mn trench, ruh It

; . Receiving First Aid.
I cursing under our breath, trembling nil
; over, our knees lncerated from the
1 strands of me cut barbed wire on tlie
ground, walling for a challenge and
the Inevitable volley of ri (lo fire. - Noth
ing happened. - I suppose the fellow
who cut tlie barbed wire Improperly
was the one who had' sneezed about
half nn hour previously. What we
wished him would never make his new
year a happy one.
The ollieer. In Yny opinion,, at the
noise of the wire should have given the
four-tap signal, which meant, "On your
own, get back to your trenches ns
quickly as possible." but atnin lie must
huve'relled on the spiel that Old Pep
per had given us In .the dugout, "Per
sonally I believe that timt part of the
(ierni'nn trench Is unoccupied." Any
way, we gut cureless, bo'.- not so care
les.s Jhat we sang patriotic songs or
made any unnecessary noise.
During the Intervals of falling star
shells we carried on with our wire cut
ting until at last we succeeded In get
ting through the German barbed wire.
At this point we were only ten feet
from ihe German trenches. If we were
discovered, we were like rats In n trap
Our way was cut off unless we rani
tilling the wire lo Ihe narrow lane wc
had cut through. With our h-arts In
our niouihs wo waited for tlie three-
tap fiti.al to rush the German trench.
Three tups had gotten about halfway j
dow n tlie line when suddenly about Vn
t. twenty German slur shells were;
fired all along the trench and landed:'
in th. .airbed wire In rear of us, turn-!
liti night Into day nnd silhouetting us;
nciiiisi ihe wall of light made by thei
Here-. In tlie glaring light w-e were1
c .fronted by the following unpleasant
scene. j
All along the German trench, at
about three-foot Intervals, stootl a big
IVussiu'i guardsman with his rifle lit
the aim. ami then we found out why
we hail not been challenged when the
man sneezed and the bir.betl wire had
wns dangling like n rag. I fell forward j
in a silting position. But nil the fear .
hud left me and I wns consumed with j
rage and cursed the German trenches. :
With my right hand I felt In my tunic !
for lay first-aid or shell drcsslrig. In '
reellng'over my tunic my hand came,
in contiwt with one of the bombs which '
7 carried. Gripping It. I pulled the pin
out with my teeth and blindly threw It .
towards the- German trench. I must :
have been out of my head, because I
was only. ten-feet. from the trench and '
took a chance of being mangled. ' If ;
tho bomb had failed to .go into the
fronch I .would have been, blown In ;
bits by the explosion of my own bomb.
By the flare of the explosion of the
bomb, which luckily landed In their 1
trench, T snw one big Boche throw up ,
his arms and fall backwards, while his
rifle flew into the air. Another one
willed nnd fell forward across the
sandbags then blackness. -
Realizing what n foolhardy and risky;
thing 1 had done, I was again seized
Willi a' horrible fear. I dragged myself ; '
to my feet and ran madly down Ihe:'
lane through Ihe barbed wire, stum- j 1
tiling over cut wires, tearing my uni
form, and lacerating my hands and
legs. .Tur.t us I was about to reaeli
No Man's Land again, tliaf same voice
seemed to say, "Turn around." I did
so, when, "crack." another bullet
caught me, Ibis time In tho left shoul
der about one-half Inch away from the
oilier wound. Then It was ti ys for me.
'1 he lights went out.
When I canie to I was crouching In
a hole In No Man's Laud. This shell
hole was about three feet deep, so that
it brought my head a few Inches below
the level nf the groi,.'id. llow I reached
this hole I will never know. German
"t.vpcwriters" were, 'traversing back
