Out In Front
After teg Lieutenant Storeg of onr
ecrton came Into the dugout and In
formed me that I wag 'Tor" reeonnot.
terlnf patrol and would carry atx UUla
boraba.
At 11 :80 that night twetre men, our
lleutennnt and myself went out In
front on a patrol In No Man'a Land.
We cruised around In the dark for
about two hours. Just knocking about
looking for trouble, on the lookout for
Bocne working parties to see what
they were doing.
Around two tn the morning wo were
carefully picking our way about thirty
yards tn front of the German barbed
wire, when we walked Into Bocha
covering party nearly thirty strong.
Then the music started, the fiddler ren
dered his bill, and we paid.
Fighting In the dark with a bayonet
Is not vt't-y pleasant. The Germans
took It on the run, but our officer waa
no novice at the game and didn't fol
low them. He gave the order "down
on the ground, hug It close."
Just In time, too, because a volley
skimmed over our heads. Then In low
tones we were told to aeparate and
crawl back to our tranches, each man
on his own.
We could see the flashes of their
rifles In the darkness, but the bullete
were going over onr heads.
We lost three men killed and one
wounded In the arm. If It hadn't been
for cur officer's quick thinking the
who'.e patrol would have probably
been wiped out.
After about twenty minutes' wait we
went out again and discovered . that
the Germans had a wiring party work
ing on their barbed wire. We returned
to our trenches unobserved with the
Information and our machine guns im
mediately got busy.
The next night four men were sent
out to go over and examine the Ger
man barbed wire and see If they had
cot lanes through It; If so, this pres
aged an early morning attack on our
trenches.
Of course I had to be one of the four'
selected for the Job. It was Just like,
sending a fellow to the undertaker'
to order his own coffin.'
At ten o'clock we started out, armed'
with three bombs, a bayonet and re
volver. After getting Into No Man's'
Land we separated. Crawling four or
five feet at a time, ducking atar shells,
with strays cracking overhead, t.
reached their wire. I scouted along'
this inch by Inch, scarcely breathing.
I could hear them talking In their"
trench, my heart was pounding against,
my ribs. One false move or the least!
noise from me meant discovery and;
almost certain death. j
After covering my sector I quietly
crawled back. I had gotten about b
way when I aptlced that my rtvol
waa missing. "It waa pitch fli

It eonldn't be far away, because about
three or fonr minutes previously I had
felt the butt la the bolster. I crawled
around In clrclea and at last found It,
then started on my way back to our
trenches, aa I thought -
Pretty soon I reached barbed wire,
and waa J oat going to give the pass
word when something told me not to.
I put out my hand and touched one of
the barbed wire stakes. It waa Iron.
Tha British, are of wood, while the
German are Iron, . My heart stopped
beating; by mistake I had crawled
back to the German lines.
I turned slowly about and my tunic
caught on the wire and made a loud
ripping noise. .
A sharp challenge rang .oat I
sprang to my feet, ducking low, and
ran madly baek toward our lines. The
Oermana started firing. The bullets
were biting ail around me, when bang I
I ran smash Into our wire, and a sharp
challenge. "'Alt who cos.ee there r

and, groping my way through the lant

brought me round.
. CHAPTER XVIII.
. Staged Under Fire.
Three days after the Incident Just re
lated our company waa relieved tron
the front line and carried. We atayec
In reserve billets for about two weak
when we received the welcome new;
that our division would go back of th.
Une "to rest billets." We would re
main In these billets for at least twt
months, this In order to be restored t
our full strength by drafts of recruit
from Blighty.
Everyone was happy and contente
at these tidings; all you could hea
around the billets was whlstllug am
singing. The day after the receipt o
the order we hiked for five days, mak
lng an average of about twelve kilo
per day until we arrived at the smal
town of 0'
It took us about three days to" ge:
settled, and from' then on our cush
time started. 1 We would parade frooo
8:45 In the-morning until 12 noon.
Then except for an occasional billet
or brigade guard we were on our own.
For the first four or five afternoons I
spent my time In bringing up to date
my neglected correspondence.
Tommy loves to be amused, and be
ing a Tank, they turned to me for
something mew lu this line, I taught
them how to pitch horseshoes, and this
game made a great hit for about ten
days. Then Tommy turned to Amer
ica for a neve diversion. I waa up In
the air until a happy thought came to
me. Why not write a aketch and break
Tommy in as an-nctor?
One evening after "lights out.' when
yon are hot supposed to talk, I Impart
ed my scheme In whispers to the sec
tion. They eagerly accepted the idea ,
of forming a stock company and :
could hardlf wait until the morning
for further details.
After parade, the next afternoon I
waa almost nobbed. Everyone la the
section wanted a part In the proposed
sketch. Whed I Informed them that It
would take at least ten days of hard
work to write the plot, they were bit
terly disappointed. I Immediately got
busy, made a desk out of biscuit tins
In the corner of the billet and put Up
a algn "Empey & Wallace Theatrical
Co." . About, twenty of the section,
upon, reading this sign. Immediately
applied for the position of office boy.
I accepted the twenty applicants, and
: sent them on scouting parties through
out the deserted French village. These
parties were to search all the attics for
discarded civilian . clothes, and any-,
thing that , we could use In the props
of our proposed company.
About five that night they returned
covered with grime and dust, but load
ed down with a miscellaneous assort-
! ment of everything under the sun.
s They must have thought that ' I was
going to start a department store,
Judging from the different things they
brought back from their pillage.
After eight days' constant writing I
completed a two-act farce comedy
which I called "The Diamond Palace
Saloon." Upon the suggestion of one
of the boys in the section I gent a proof

parts and started rehearsing. . Da -Id
Betasco would have thrown 'up hla
hands la despair at the material which
I bad to usev J oat Imagine trying to
teach a Tommy, with a strong cockney
accent to Impersonate a Bowery tough
or a Southern negro.
Adjacent to our billet was an open
field. We got bney at one end of It and
constructed stage. We secured the
lumber for tha gtage by deiaoUahlng
an old wooden gbaek tn tha rear of
our billet '
The first eceoa was supposed to rep
resent a street oa tha Bowery In New
York, while the scene of the second
act waa the Interior of the Diamond
Palace saloon, also on the Bowery.
In the play I took the part of Abe
Switch, a former, who bad come from
Pumpklnvllle Center, Tena. to. make
hla firat visit to New York.
In the first scene Abe Switch meet
the proprietor of the Diamond Palace
saloon, a ramshackle affair which to
the owner wag a financial lose.
The proprietor's name was Toe
Twt ft em, his bartender being named
FlUem Up.
After meeting Abe, Tom and Fill em
Up persuaded him to buy the place,
praising it to the skies and telling
wondrous tales of the money taken
over the bar.
While they art talking, an old Jew
named TJtey Cohensteln comes along,
and Abe enrages him tor cashier. After
engaging Ikey they meet an- old
Southern negro called Sambo, and
upon the suggestion of Dtey he 1 ea
gaged as porter. Then the three of

In the second act the curtain rises
on the interior of the Diamond Palace
saloon, and the audience gets its first
shock. The saloon looks like a pig
pen, two tramps lying drank- onr the
floor, and the bartender . In a dirty
shirt with his sleeves rolled up, asleep
with his head on the bar. --
Enter Abe, Sambo and Tkey, and the
fun commences.
One of the characters fat the second
act waa named Broadway Kate, and 1
bad an awful Job to break In one of
the Tommies to act and talk like a
woman. .
Another character waa Alkali Dee, an
Arizona cowboy, who Just before the
close of the play comes Into the galoot
and wrecks It with his revolver.
We had eleven three-hour rehearsals
before I thought It advisable to pre
gent the sketch to tha public

alght and everyone was full of antld
patlon ; when bang 1 . . orders came
through that the brigade would move at
two that afternoon. : Cursing and
blinding waa the order of things upon
the receipt of this order, but we
moved.
That night we reached the little vil
lage of 8 and again went Into rest
billets. We were to be there two
weeks. Our company Immediately got
busy and scoured the village for a
suitable place in which to present our
production Then we received another
shock, ,
A rival company was already estab
lished In the village. . They called
themselves "The Bow - Bells," and
put on a sketch entitled. '"Blighty
What Hopes T" They were the divi
sional concert party.
We hoped they all would be soon
In Blighty to give us a chance.
This company charged an admission
of a franc per head, and that night
our company went en .masse to see
their performance. It really was good.
I had a sinking sensation when I
thought of running my sketch In op
position to It
In one of their scenes they had a
soubrette called Flossie. The soldier
that took this part was clever and
made a fine-appearing and chic girl.
We Immediately fell tn love with her
until two days after, while we were
on a march, we passed Flossie with
"her" sleeves rolled up and the sweat
pouring from "her" face unloading
shells from a motor lorry. .
As our section passed her I yelled
put: "Hello, Flossie; Blighty-Whnt
