LONDON, March 19. "Down
tools,' said the platoon sergeant,
and blow his whistle. Tho hour was
noon and we had been working Bince
dAwn on the fields by La Basaee road
digging treiiches. Across tho road
was an eatiiaanet, and I made my
way to the place hoping that I could
get something tasty.
The estimanet was crowded and
we made our way to a low roofed
room at the rear and here we found
two persons, a man and a woman.
The woman was sweating over -a
stove, frying cutlets; the man was
Betting on tho floor peeling potatoes
into a large bucket. He was a thick
Bet lump of a fellow with long, hairy
arms, dark -heavy eyebrows set firm
over sharp. Inquisitive eyes, a snub
nose and a long scar stretching from
the but dt.his left ear up to the
eye almost. He wore a nondescript
pair of loose, baggy trousers, a frag
ment of a shirt and a pair of bed
room slippers. He peeled the po
tatoes with a knife, a long, rapter
like instrument which he handled
with marvelous dexterity.
"Digging trenches?" he asked, as
he hurled a potato into the bucket,
splashing water all over us. I un
derstood French, spoken slowly. I
told him yes. '
"But the Boche will never get as
far as here, unless as prisoners,"
said the mail.
"They may thrust us back," I said.
"One never knows."
"Thrust us back! Never!" A po
tato swept into the bucket with a
whizz like a spent bullet. "Their
day has come. - Why? The big Eng
lish guns and the many shells. And
then there's the 75. the little love.
The beautiful gun, one of the best.
It's the very devil when it starts.
Pip, pip, pip, pip. Four shells in the
air, one behind the other. Nothing
can stand Vhenu Bomb! one lands
In the German trench. Run. Some
go right, some go left. The second
Bhot rands', oh- the right, the third
on the left,, and the fourth finishes
the work'. The dead are many. Oth
tsr guns are good, but none so good
as the .75."
"What about the gun that sent
this over?" As I spoke I pointed to
WILLIAM SHEXSTOXE'S VERSE.
One of the attractive features of the dinner at
the Pilot Butte Inn on Saturday night was a
"brochure," which each guest found at his plate,
on the back of which was printed the menu. With
in there was an article descriptive of "The Spirit
of the Inn," based on a verse by an Einghteenth
century English poet, named William Shenstone,
which is shown in copper letters on the hearth of
the Pilot Butte fireplace.
The complete poem from which the verse Is
taken is as follows:
(Written at an Inn at Henley.)
To thee, fair freedom, I retire.
From flattery, cards, and dice, and den;
Nor art thoufound In mansions higher
Than the low cot, or humble inn.
Tis here with boundless power I reign,
And every health which I begin,
Converts dull port to bright champagne;
Such freedom crowns it, at an inn.
I fly from pomp, I fly from plate!
I fly from falsehood's specious grin!
Freedom I love, and form I hate.
And choose my lodgings at an inn.
Here waiter! Take my sordid ore.
Which lackeys else might hope to win;
It buys what courts have not in store;
It buys me freedom at an inn.
Whoe'er has traveled life's dull round,
Where'er his stages may have been.
May sigh to think he still has found
The warmest welcome, at an inn.

oarly stages of the war, what time
the enemy's enthusiasm for destruc
tion had not the nice discrimination
which permeates It now. The rem
nant on the manlloniore, tho rem
nant of a mammoth Krupp design,
was cost off by a shell In the road op
posite the door.
"A great gun, the one that sent
that," sulci tho Frenchman digging
the clay from the eyes of a potato
and looking at tho percussion cap
on the mantleploce which lay beneath
tho picture, of tho Virgin and Child.
"But compared to tho 75 it Is noth
ing. Tho big shell comes boom!
It is in no hurry. You hear It and
you are into your dugout before It
arrives. It is like the thunder which
you hear and you are In shelter whon
tho rain conies. But the 75 Is light
ning. It comes silently, quicker than
its own sound." -
"Do you work hero?" I asked.
"I work here," sajd the potato
peolcr.
"In the coal mino across there?"
I asked.
"Not in a coal, mine," was the
answer, "I peel patatoes."
"Always?"
"Sometimes," said the man. "I
am back now on ten days' leave from
the trenches. First time since last
summer. I just got back this morn
ing." "Oh," I ejaculated, "then you have
seen some fighting?" .
"Fighting,"' said the man, "yes, a
little.
"In fact a great amount." His
eyes lit up as with fire and he sent
a potato, stripped clean of its jacket,
up to the roof, but with such precis
ion that it dropped down again,
straight into the bucket. "I was in
it at the beginning when we went
south and the Germans came across
up north. It was turn about and up
again like mad, perched on limbers,
taxis, ambulance wagons, anything.
We got Into battle near Paris. The
Boches came in clusters, they cov
ered the ground like flies on the
dead in summertime. The 75 came
into work there. It was wonderful.
Men were cut down, wiped out in
thousands. When the gun was no
further good guns had lives short
and glorious then a new one came
into play and killed, killed until it
could stand the strain no longer."
"Much hand to hand fighting?"
asked.
"The bayonet? Yes." The potato
peeled thrust his knife through a
potato and slit it in two. "And we
cut them down." He paused as if
at a loss for words, and sent his
knife whirling into the air where it
spun at an alarming rate.
"What is that for?" I asked, point
ing to a sword wreathed in a garlatra
of flowers tattooed on the man's
arm.
"The rapier," said the man. "I
am a fencer, a master fencer; fenced
in Paris. Bordeaux, Marseilles, sev
eral places."
