WIL1 I AM J. ROBINSON
A German sniper was killed one
night, anil the fellows who brought
him down decided to play a joke on
an Irishman In their regiment. They
took the body of the sniper and carried
It about n hundred yards off the road,
where they propped It up against a
tree and also tlxed 11 rifle to Its shoul
der. Then they went In search of the
Irishman. When they found him they
told him that he had been ordered to
go up the road and hunt for a sniper
who was potting ut the passing traffic.
The Irishman took his rifle and went
out In search of the German. Of
course lie found him, for ho couldn't
have passed without seeing the trap
which had been laid for him. The
minute he caught sight of. the gray
uniform he dropped behind a bale of
hay which was lying on the side of the
road and started tiring at the supposed
sniper. The fellows who had sent him
up there came along and without being
Observed by the object of their Joke
proceeded to enjoy the fun. The Irish
man couldn't understand how It was
possible for him to miss his murk at
such a short range, and at each shot
he was swearing at his luck. Finally
he hit the body so many times It fell
over, and It was not until then that he
realized how he had been fooled.
CHAPTER IV.
The Boy Sniper.
ANOTHER sniping Incident was
the case of a Belgian boy only
fourteen years oKl. On a road
which was much used for transport we
noticed that nearly every night some
of our officers would be shot. Tills
went on for some time, and no ono
could explain it. One day one of our
fellows brought in this kid and said
that he had found blni with u German
ritle and ammunition in his possession.
The boy was cross examined and
Anally admitted that It was he who
had been shooting officers on the Ouder
dom road, lie said that lie had been
furnished with the ritie and told where
he got his ammunition every day. He
suid he had instructions not to shoot
any officers with red on their uniform
(staff officers). Now, why he should
have received such an order as this
was a mystery to me.
He said that he had been at it for
two weeks, and during that time he
had bagged sixteen officers. He said
he received t! francs (about $1.20) for
every officer he shot. lie was taken
to the rear it Hi shot nt once. We tried
to follow up fae information he hnd
given as to where he had received his
ammunition, but his friends had all
gone, so I suppose they had been
warned. ^
About this time. too. we caught an
old man eighty-two years old. In
broad daylight he was out with a pair
of nippers cutting our wires. We
caught men dressed as women and
women dressed as men. We caught
people flying pigeons from their houses.
In fact, we caught spies doing almost
everything to give information.
We were always trying to make the
trenches we had taken over from the
French a Utile more comfortable. We
made wooden gratings for the bottom
of them, besides the lookout platform.
From empty oil drums we made bra
ziers. and these in particular were
mighty agreeable at night.
The country for a couple of miles
back of the trenches was deserted.
The people had fled, leaving practical
ly everything. Chickens and pigs were
running wild, and It was surprising
how quickly they got almost as wild
as the wildest animals.
A pig hunt witn uxoti oayonets is a
very amusing thing to watch. Get
about twenty fellows after a pig and
they have their work cut out for them.
The pig gives them a good run for
their money, but In the end they gen
erally get him, and then comes the
march back to cnnip with the pig held
aloft on the ends of several bayonets.
Chicken fishing Is great fun, too, but
It requires patience. You take a long
piece of string and tie a little piece of
bread to the end of It. You find a
spot where there are chickens about.
Scatter some crumbs around and also
drop the piece of bread you have on the
end of the string. Then you find a
convenient tree and sit down with tho
other end of the string In your hand
and wait for the chickens to "bite."
When one comes to your piece of bread
you begin Jerking It nearer to the tree
behind which you are hiding. When It
comes within striking distance you
Jump as if you were falling on a foot
ball, and If you are lucky you will have
chicken for dinner.
I was out one day In a motor with
a statf captain and Dave Smith, the
heavyweight champion, whom I bump
ed against during my first days In the
army. We had been up to a brigade
' headauarters and were an xeturn -tela

* Baptism of Fire
By WILLIAM J. ROBINSON
Copyright, Little, Brown & Co.
The moat graphlo account of th«
great war that has yet been written
comes from the pen of a twenty-two
year-old Boston boy, who baa Just re
turned from Franco, where aa dragoon
guardsman, dispatch rider and motor
car driver ho served fourteen month*
under the British nag. Out of thirty
one motorcycle dispatch riders be was
on* of four survivors.
Then I Took Another Look and 8aw
tha Cavalrymen Were German*.
I hud taken a shorter way" coming
back, and It was along a very narrow
road. Dave was sitting In the front
with me, and the captain was In the
tonneau. We were bowling along at
a fairly good pace, and I had visions
of being back in time for dinner.
I noticed u few cavalrymen away
ahead of us, but they were so far ahead
I didn't pay much attention to them.
The first that 1 knew we were striking
anything out of the ordinary was when
Dave grabbed my ride out o? the buck
et and began firing over the wind
shield. Then 1 took another look and
saw the cavalrymen were < If minus,
.and there we.v seven of them.
The road v.us :;j narrow that there
wasn't a ghost of a chance to turn
around, and I figured that If we rushed
them we could Muff our way through,
whereas if we stopped they would see
that they outnumbered us two to one
and the Chances were we would get the
worst of U. 1 was so excited I was
trembling all over, and the captain was
shouting orders at the top of his voice.
Dave was the only cool man In the
car. and he was sending shot after shot
at them as calmly as if ho were on a
rifle range. lie shouted to me: "Go
like h—1! Crowd 'em off the road!"
When they saw how we were gain
ing three of them left the road and hit
out across country. 1 thought Dave
must have hit the other fellow, for he
simply put the spurs to his horse and
stuck right to the middle of the road.
Fie didn't attempt to fire at us at all.

in earnest, and he didn't have a chance
In the world. That car had done seven
ty-eight lulles an hour 011 her test, and
I hardly gave German horses credit for
such speed as that. As we got closer
to him Dave quit firing, for It would
have been murder to shoot a man In a
trap such as he was In. He kept to the
center of the road, though, and he
wouldn't give an Inch.
I was blowing that old siren for all
It was worth, and 1 opened the cut-out
to make all the noise I could, trying
to scare his horse ofT the road, and the
animal wanted to get out of the way,
too, but the rider held him In.
At last Dave said, "I'll make him
move," and he sent a bullet so close
I'll bet he could have kissed it as it
went by. He gave way then all right,
and as he did I pulled up alongside of
him. As we came up he pulled a re
volver and flred two shots, which Just
went over my head. Dave leaned over
and caught him by the belt. He yank
ed him clear of the saddle and slung
him into the back of the car. He land
ed on top of the captain, and those two
were so mixed up you couldn't tell one
from the other.
I stopped the car as quickly as I
could, and we soon had him "saying
Uncle," though he fought like a wild
cat for a few minutes. The captain
got the worst of it, for he had a beau
tiful "shiner" and the skin off his
knuckles. When we searched him we
found thirty-three Eugllsh ten shilling
notes on him. He had taken them
from some of our fellows, of course,
but what made us mad was thqt the
captain would not allow us to keep
them.
He said it would not bp honest, but 1
noticed that when v# handed him over
to some French cavalry a little later
they didn't hesitate about taking them,

devil, for he said that he and the rest
of his squad had been hiding for five
days and five nights and that they
didn't know where they were. They
had become desperate and decided to
run for It In the open. The others
came In and surrendered later In the
day.
