Motors with an officer through Ypres to
Potlzze amid bursting shells and bombi
dropped from aeroplanes. A terrible ride.
1 tried to tlii'nIC aUouf what was go
ing to happen to us, for it worried nie
that I didn't seem to have a nerve
In my body. I kept telling myself that
I was going to my death and that In a
few minutes I would be lying some
where in those smoking ruins. But it
was no use, I didn't care one way or
the other. Before one eomes to the
railway traek just outside Ypres there
Is a road which branches off to the left
and leads to the village of Elverdlnghe.
Before we came to where this road
branches off the officer spoke.
"I think it would be worth while try
ing to get to the canal bank through
Eiverdinghe." lie said, "and from there
we would perhaps tie able to leave the
car. swim the canal and get through to
I'otijze oil foot. It will take longer,
of course, but tfie main thing for us to
do is to get there safely, no matter if
it takes a great deal longer. Let us
try that way, auywny."
1 was willing to try anything, and so
we turned off the road aud headed for
Eiverdinghe. It was only a few kilo
metres, and we didn't take long getting
there, but when we arrived we found
that we had jumped out of the frying
pan into the fire, for Eiverdinghe was
getting it hot and heavy from the Ger
man field batteries.
We rushed into the town, and as we
swung into the village proper we came
very near having one grand smashup.
A field ambulance was moving out of
the place, and the road was blocked
by ambulances which were loading up
with wounded. I jammed on the
brakes and pulled over almost into the
ditch, but the brakes stopped the car
before we got clear in.
A sentry informed us that the road
through the village was closed and
that we would have to turn around and
go back. 1 tried to Lack up, but my
two front wheels were stuck away
down 111 the ditch, and she wouldn't
pull out nnder her own power
I appealed to the driver of an empty
ambulance to help me. and he quickly
got his lowrope around my back axle,
and we came out with the first heave.
I noticed while we were taking the
towrope off that the car was a big six
cylinder American u:;;Lc.
I asked the driver Imw he liked a
Yankee car, and from tho way he re
plied I kuew that he wns nn American
himself. I asked him where he came
from, and you can Imagine my surprise
when he said "Boston."
I uever say him again, and when I
left him he was in one hot little corner
of the map. 1 hope he gets through all
right.
CHAPTER IX.
The Fate of a Spy.
WE reached Elverdlnghe as quick
ly as we could and got out
without a scratch, which Is
more important than anything else.
We went back along the road until we
came to the turning which leads to the
village of Boesinghe. This village is
on the bauk of the canal, but It is a
mighty unhealthy place to visit, as It
is In full view of part of the German
lines. Our plan was to go as close to
the village as we dared and then leave
the car and try to get through on foot
It was almost as dangerous as it would
be to go through Tpres, but we figured
that here we would at least have a
fighting chance.
We left the car under some trees
about half a mile from the village and
#et out«on foot. We.ljadn't been going

By WILLIAM J. ROBINSON
Copyrlfht, Little, Brown ft Co.
Th» most graphlo account Of the
great war that has yet ba«n written
comet from the pen of a tw«nty-two
yrar-oM Boston boy, who haa Just re
turned from France, where as dragoon
guardsman, dispatch rider and meter
car driver he served fourteen months
under the British (tag. Oat of thirty
one motorcycle dispatch rldera he ill
one of four survivors.
teu minutes wileu.a senfry stopped 08
again and informed us that the road
was closed and we would have to go
back. The officer explained things to
him uud told liini tliut it was abso
lutely Imperative that we get through
and Hint this was the only way It
could be done. The sentry said that
he was very sorry, but be had strict
orders from the assistant provost mar
shal nnd be dared not let us pass.
There was nothing left for us to do
but to turn back.
We went straight to headquarters,
and the officer explained that it was
impossible for 11s to get through. He
ordered me to report to him the next
morning and we would try again. The
next day they were bombarding Just
as heavily, and the city was still burn
ing. so all 1 had to do was to stand by
and hold myself In readiness all day
long.
»e sow a very c-\i-uiiig muucm iu<».
day. There was a big ammunition col
umn near our headquarters, and It was
waiting there, all ready loaded, until
sent for. It bad been there several
weeks then, and the chaps who belong
ed to It were having the softest time
they ever had In their lives.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon 1
was standing on a coruer near this
column when 1 saw one of the police
go up and speak to a chap who was
walking around it with n notebook In
his hand. Thev talked for a few mo
ments. and then a policeman sauntered
down to where 1 was standing and
came up and spoke to me.
"Go down to the guard room." be said,
"and have the corporal fall In two men
and briug them up here as quick as
God will let him. That fellow there by
the column is getting all kinds of Infor
mation and putting it in his book. Now,
hurry, but take your time until you get
out of sight of this place. I'll look
after him until the guard comes."
I was naturally all excited, but I did
as he said, and it wasn't many minutes
before we were on our way back at the
double. Our man was still there, but
the minute he saw us he got started.
Our policeman pulled his revolver and
fired after him. He didn't stop for •
second, but he pu'led a couple of guns
himself and every few seconds would
send a shot back at us as he ran.
Fellows were joining In the chase all
the tlnu>. and It was getting interest
ing. The end came very suddenly when
two of our chaps with rifles appeared
In the road ahead of the fugitive and
ordered him to halt He fired on them
for an answer, so they raised their ri
fles and brought him down.
Examination showed that he was a
German. He had on German service
dress under the British uniform he was
wearing. The little book our police
man referred to certainly was a gold
mine of Information. He had the nnme,
location and strength of every unit in
our vicinity and also the location of a
good many of our batteries. He was a
brave fellow, all right, and he played
the game clear to the end.

usual for "tCe 'trfp fo PtitfT-e, and wo
decided to make the try again. Even
as we got near Ypres the fire seemed
to slacken, and we rushed straight
through without mishap.
If Ypres had been In bad condition
before this I don't know how it would
be described now! In the center of the
town there was scarcely a building left
standing. All the towers but one had
been knocked off the famous Cloth
ball, and the whole place had been
gutted by Are. The cathedral was all
down except half of the tower, and the
inside of that was still burning.
The streets were littered with bodies
of every description, and broken wag
ons, ambulances, water carts, etc., lay
everywhere. The roads were almost
obliterated, and we were riding over
broken bricks and mortar. The shells
were still coming over, but they were
no worse than what we had run
through before, so we did not mind
them very much. We found the road
the other side of Ypres about us usual,
*o we got up to Potijze without any
more excitement.
Potijze Is a very tiny place which
has seen some hard fighting from time
to time. There was really very little
left of the place Itself, but our trenches
ran Just outside the village, and we had
dugouts all around there. On our ar
rival my officer told me to turn the car
around and then to get into one of the
dugouts and wait for him. I did as he
told me, and for some reason or other
I left the engine running. 1 shut the
throttle clear down, so she was Just
barely ticking over.
I looked around irnl found a dugout
not twenty yards away and went In.
tvo officers were there at the time,
but they told me to sit down, and they
went on with fhelr work.

Margaret, five years old, was travel

Her father, noticing the rapt expres

"What do you think of it, Margaret?"
She replied: "Oh, father, it Is just
