CHAPTER XXI.
A Concert Under Fire.
The boys in the trenchwere told
that I had come to sing for them, and
so, with no further preliminaries, I
began my concert. I started with
iny favorite opening song, as usual
"Roamin" in the Gloamin'," nd then
went on with the other old favorites.
I told a lot of stories, too, and then
I came to "The Laddies Who Fought
and Won." None of the men had
heard it, but there were officers there
who had seen "Three Cheers" during
the winter when they had a short
leave to run over to London.
I got thfough the first verse all
right, and was just swinging into the
first chorus when, without the least
I 1L.1
'trench. A missile came in that some
u
oracer at once nauea as a wmzz Dang.
It is called that, for that is just ex
actly the sound it makes. It is like a
giant firecracker, and it would be
amusing if one did not know it was
deadly. These missiles are not fired
by the big guns behind the lines, but
by the small trench cannon worked,
as a rule, by compressed air. me
range is very short, but they are capa
ble of great execution at that range.
Was IJrightened? I must have
beenl I know I felt a good deal as
I have done when I have been seasick.
And I began to think at once of all
sorts of places where I would rather
have been than in that trench I I was
standing on a slight elevation at the
back, or parados, of the trench, so
that I was raised a bit above my audi
ence, and I had a fine view of that
deadly thing, wandering about, spit
ting fire and metal parts. It traveled
so that the men could dodge it, but
it was throwing off slugs -that you
could neither see nor dodge, and it
was a poor place to bet
And the one whizz bang was not
enough to suit Fritz. It was followed
immediately by a lot more, that came
popping in and making themselves as
unpleasant as you could imagine. I
watched the men about me, and they
seemed to be unconcerned, and to be
thinking much more of me and my
singing than of the whizz bangs. So,

mg for me to do but to keep on with
my song: I decided that I must really
Je safe enough, no matter how I felt.
But I had certain misgivings on the
subject. Still, I managed to go on

enough to look at though, if I .was,
my appearance wholly belied my true
inward feelings.
I struggled through to the end of
the chorus and I think I sang pretty
badly, although I don't know. But I
was pretty sure the end of the world
had come for me, and these laddies
were taking things as calmly as they
were simply because they were used
to it and it was all in the day's work
for them. The Germans were fairly
Omaha "Tank" to Be Feature
Of Rotary Convention at K. C.
One of the "tanks" used in the third
Liberty loan drive in Omaha has
been shipped to Kansas City and will
be a big feature at the national con
vention of Rotary clubs there next
week. By use of it the, Omaha dele
gation will cotnmand prime attention.
Arthur Thomas' manager of the
Chamber of Commerce publicity
bureau, has been invited to go with
the Rotarians and attend to the pub
lic work for the tank and Omaha.
With Gus Renze he will inaugurate a
program of "stunts" to be performed
by the tank which will make the dele
gates from all other cities open their
eyes and carry home tales of the
greatness of Omaha and the enter
prise of Omaha Rotarians.
It was the intention to send the tank
overland to Kansas City, but it was
found to be too wide for some of the
bridges. It was shipped by freight
and a man went down to reassemble it
there.
Omaha to Be Represented at

In New York next Monday, 4t a

At this time the differential is 5
cents a bushel. The claim of Chicago
is that this gives Omaha a pro
nounced advantage. At the New

Chicago will ask for a reduction of
between 2 and 3 cents, making the
differential the difference in the
freight rates, instead of a flat sum,
as now.
The Omaha Grain exchange has in

the differential.
Tenshun! Beef Eaters; You
May Order Steak at Noon
If you take you meals at a hotel,
or a public eating house, to keep in
line with the orders of the food ad
ministration, you are permitted tol
order and eat beefsteak at the Thurs
day noon meal instead of at the
Tuesday night dinner, as previously
announced. The local food adminis
tration fixed upon Tuesday night as
the time for eating the beefsteakf but
later discovered that the national
order provided for Thursday noon
and consequently the change is made.
While beef eating rules apply only
to the public eating places, the food
administration has requested that
householders do their snare of con
serving. To this end it Jias been
ruled that one and a quarter pounds
of clear beef per week per person is
a reasonable allowance.
Doctor Says Wife Hampers
His Professional Career
-Dr. S. Goodrich Reed, answering
his wife's divorce suit in district
court, alleges she has been guilty of
cruelty and has greatly hampered
him in his endeavors to rise in the
professional world. He says she has
been "arrogant, haughty, flippant and
fault-finding" toward his friends, both
professional and personal, and that
this conduct has been detrimental to
his practice. He asks that her peti
tion be denied and that he be given
the divorce. : .
sluicing that trench byt now. The
whizz bangs were popping over us
like giant fire crackers, going off one
and two and three at a time. And the
trench was full of flying slugs and
chunks of dirt, striking against our
faces and hurtling all about us.
There I was. I had a good "house."
I wanted to please my audience. Was
it no a trying situation? I thought
Fritz might have had manners enough
to wait until I had' finished my con
cert, at least! But the Hun has no
manners, as all the world knows.
Along that embankment we 'had
climbed to reach the trenches, and
not very far from the bit of trench in
which I was singing, there was a rail
road bridge of some strategic impor
tance. And now a shell hit that
bridge not a whizz bang, but a real,
big shell. It exploded with a hideous
screech, as if the bridge were some
human thing being struck, and
screaming out its agony. The soldiers
looked at me, and I saw some of
them winking. They seemed to be
mighty interested in the way I was
taking all this. I looked back at
them, and then at a Highland colonel
who was listening to my singing as
quietly and as carefully as if he had
been at a stall in Covent Garden dur
ing the opera season. He caught my
glance.
"I think they're coming it a bit
thick Lauder, old chap," he remarked,
quietly.
"I quite agree with you, colonel," I
said. I tried to ape his voice and
manner, but I wasn't so quiet as he.
Now there came a ripping, tearing
sound in the air, and a veritable
cloudburst of the damnable whizz
bangs broke over us. That settled
matters. There were no orders, but
everyone turned, just as if it were a
meeting, and a motion to adjourn had
been put and carried unanimously.
We all ran for the safety holes or
dugouts in the side of the embank
ment. And I can tell ye that the
Reverend Harry Lauder, M.P., Tour
were no the last ones to reach those
shelters! No, we were by no means
the lastt
I ha' no doot that I might have im
proved upon the shelter that I found,
had I had time to pick and choose.
But any shelter was good just then,
and I was glad of mine, and of a
chance to catch my breath. Afterward,
I saw a picture by Captain Bairnsfa
ther that made me laugh a good deal,
because it represented so exactly the
way I felt. He had made a drawing
of two Tommies in a wee bit of a hole
in a field that was being swept by
shells and missiles of every sort. One
was grousing to his mate, and the
other said to him:
"If you know a better 'ole go 'ide in
it!"
I said we all turned and ran for
cover. But there was one braw lad
die who did nothing of the sort. He
would not run such tricks were not
for him I v
He was a big Hie'land laddie, and
he wore naught but his kilt and his
semmet his undershirt. He had on
his steel helmet, and it shaded a face
that had not been shaved or washed
for days. His great, brawny arms
were folded across his chest and he
was smoking his pipe. And he stood
there as quiet and unconcerned as if
he had been a village smith gazing
down a quiet country road. I watched
him, and he saw me and grinned at
me. And now and then he glanced at
me, quizzically.
"It's all right, Harry," he said, sev
eral times. "Dinna fash yoursel', man.
I'll tell ye in time for ye to duck if I
see one coming your wayl"
We crouched in our holes until
there came a brief lull in the bombard
ment. Probably the Germans thought
they had killed ui all and cleared the
trench,' or maybe it had been only
that they hadn't liked my singing and
had been satisfied when they had
stopped it. So we came out, but the
firing was not over at all, as we found
out at once. So we went down a bit
deeper, into concrete dugouts.
This trench had been a part of the
intricate German defensive system far
back of their old front line, and they
had had the pains of building and hol
lowing out the fine dugout into which
I now went for shelter. Here they
had lived, deep under the earth, like
animals and with animals, too. For
when I reached the bottom a dog
came to meet me, sticking out his red
tongue to lick my hand and wagging
his tail as friendly as you please.
He was a German dog one of the
prisoners of war taken in the great at
tack. His old masters hadn't bothered
to call him and take him with them
when the Highlanders came along and
so he had stayed behind as part of the
spoils of the attack.
That wasn't much of a dog, as dogs
go. He was a mongrel-looking crea
ture, but he couldn't have been
friendlier. The Highlanders had
adopted him and. called him Fritz, and
they were very fond of him and he of
them. He had no thought of war.
He behaved just as dogs do at hame.
But above us the horrid din was
still going on and bits of shells were
flying everywhere any one of them
enough to kill you if it struck you in
the right spot. I was glad, I can tell
ye, that I was so snug and safe be
neath the ground, and I had no mind
at all to go out until the bombard
ment was well over. The casual sort
of shelling I had had to fear at Vimy
Ridge was nothing to this. This was
the real thing.
And then I thought that what I was
experiencing for a few minutes was
the daily portion of these laddies who
were all aboot me not for a few min
utes, but for days and weeks and
months at a time. And it came home
to me again, an$ stronger than ever,
what they were doing for us folks at
hame. and how we ought to be feeling
for them.
The heavy firing went on for three
quarters of an hour, at least. We
could hear the chugging of the big
guns and the sorrowful swishing of
the shells, as if they were mournful
because they were not wreaking more
destruction than they were. It all
moved me greatly, but I could see
that the soldiers thought nothing of it
and were quite unperturbed by the
fearful demonstration that was going
on above. They smoked and chatted
and my own nerves grew calmer.
Finally there seemed to come a real
lull in the row above and I turned to
the general.
"Isn't it near time for me to be
finishing my concert, sir?" I asked
him.
"Very good," he said, jumping up.
"Just as you say, Lauder."
So back we went to where I had
begun to sing. My audience reas
sembled and I struck up "The Laddies
Who Fought and Won" again. It
Seemed, howeyer, the most appropri
ate song I could have picked to sing
in that spot. I finished this time, but
there was some discord in the closing
bars, for the Germans were still at
their shelling, sporadically.
So I finished and I said goodby to
the men who were to stay in the
trench, guarding that bit of Britain's
far-flung battle line. And then the
Reverend Harry Lauder, M. P., Tour
was ready to go back not to safety
at once, but to a region far less in
fested by the Hun than this one
where we had been such warmly re
ceived visitors.
(Continued Tomorrow.)
A Sharp Shooter
must have steady nerves, eood rich blood,
good eyesight, good stomach, liver and
kidneys. From 40 to 70 per cent, of our
boys were rejected on account of some im
pairment in their human mechanism. A
large percentage was rejected on account
of their kidneys. Backache is often caused
by kidney disorder, which means that the
kidneyB are not working properly. Poison
ous matter and urio acid accumulate
within the body in great abundance, over
working the kidneys. Hence the conges
tion of blood causes backache in the same
manner that a similar congestion in the
head causes headache. One becomes nerv
ous, despondent, sick, feverish, irritable,
spots appearing before the eyes, and lack
of ambition to do things.
In some people there are sharp pains in
the back and loins, distressing bladder dis
orders and sometimes obstinate dropsy.
The urio acid sometimes forms into gravel
or kidney stones. When the uric acid
affects the tissues, muscles and joints, it
causes lumbago, rheumatism, gout or
sciatica. This is the time to try Anuric,
double strength. The folkB in this city
who have been benefited or cured, are de
lighted with the results they have obtained
by using "An-uric", the new discovery
of Dr. Pierce and his staff of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, in Buffalo,
VT. Y. Those who started the day with a
backache, stiff legs, arms and muscles, and
an aching head (worn out before the day
began because they were in and out of bed
half a dozen times at night) are appreciat
ing the perfect rest, comfort and new
strength they obtained from Doctor
Pierce's Anuric Tablets, double strength.
To prove that this is a certain urio acid
solvent and conquers headache, kidney
and bladder diseases and rheumatism, if
you 've never used the Anuric, send ten
cents to Dr. Pierce for a large trial pack
age. This will prove to you that Anuric
is many times more active than lithia in
eliminating urio acid. If you are a sufferer,
go to your best druggist and ask for a
sixty-cent bottle of Anuric
With Dr. Pierce!s Pleasant Pellets, there's
no trouble. They're made to prevent it.
They're tiny, sugar-coated anti-bilious
granules, purely vegetable, perfectly harm
less, the. smallest, easiest and best to take.
Put up in twenty-five-cent vials. They
cleanse and regulate the whole system, in
a natural and easy way mudly and
gently, but thoroughly and effectively.
One little Pellet for a laxative three for
a cathartic Sick Headache, Bilious Head
ache, Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious
Attacks, and all derangements of the liver,
stomach and bowels am prevented, re
lieved and cured.
