CHAPTER III.
Peggy Uses A Bayonet
HE German machine sun was
mounted so that it would face
down a ravine, uo which the
Americans would have to fight their
way if the came to the rescue of Ben
and Bill Dalton.
The perman soldiers with rifles
were apparently having a lot of fun
firing at Ben and Bill, for they
laughed and talked just as if they
Ave re at a oeace timeishootine toarn-
l I iment. As Billy and Peggy climbed
to a place where they could look
over the edge of the shell hole they
. saw what all the fun was about. An
, American helmet was showing just
" abovev the top of a hole about a
hundred feet away. It was at this
that the Germans were firing. Peggy
gave a gasp of terror as the big fat
sergeant in charge of the Germans
fired after very careful aim, and sent
a hole right through' the helmet. The
Germans gave a yell of triumph.
But a second later the American
helmet was back in its place, and the
Germans looked crestfallen.
"Bill and Ben are fooling them,
causing them to waste their ammu
nition by holding up a helmet on a
stick?' snickered Billy Belgium.
Now the Germans tried the same
trick, but the Americans did not fire.
This caused the Germans to grow
bolder and one of them rose above
the edge of the hole as he jiggledsa
helmet up and down on his bayonet.
"PingF sounded a riflle from the
other hole. "Thud!" went the bullet
catching the Hun in the shoulder
and sending him crashing back.
The other Germans ducked down
in a hurry and all the sneering on
went out of their faces. The two
men in charge of the machine gun
jumped to give aid to .the wounded
man." (
"Now is our chance," whispered
Billy Belgium, starting for the de
serted machine gun platform. Peggy
scrambled after him. , Billy quickly
examined the gun aNid the ammuni
tion stacked beside it.
"I can work this gun,"he whisper
ed to Peggy, "I saw how the Ger
mans did it when I was in Belgium.'
Billy swung the gun around un
til irpointedover the heads tl the
Germans on the opposite side of the
shell hole, and put his finger on the
trigger. ' -
"I'm going to fire," he whispered
to Peggy.
"Rap-rap rap-rap 1" roared the ma
chine gun.
'The effect on the Germans in the
shell hole was funny. They dropped
their rifles and pushed their hands
in the air shouting "Kameradl
Kameradl" ,
Peggy couldn't help a quick giggle
the Germans looked so astonished
and so puzzled.
But it was no time for laughing.
the situation was very serious. The
Germans saw the gun spouting bul
lets, but the couldttunderstand how
it was operating. ;fterxtheir first
scare they thought the machine gun
had accidentally got started. They
fat sergeant jumped forward to stop
it I
Billy released the trigger and the
gun stopped barking. At the same
moment Billy swung the muzzle un
til it pointed right at the fal ser
geant. -
"Halt where you are! You are my
prisoners 1" he shouted" in German.
.Up shot the hands of the Germans
again. "Kameradl" they shouted in

Allied Cookery '
A very interesting little book of
cookery called "Allied Cookery" (G.
P. Putnam's Sons, New York) has
been published during the great
war. It is a compilation of typical
recipes of Great ' Britain, Belgium,
France, Italy and Russia. (The book
was published while Russia was with
the allies.) Some of the recipes are,
not practical' for our fniddle west
ern community, but many of the
novel ones are made of easily pro
curable foods. I have chosen at ran-
. r
a chorus, more frightened than ever
at this voice coming out of the thin
air. They couldn't understand it.
Was this some new Yankee trick-
some strange kind of camouflage?
But fyey knew what the machine
gun could do if it got started and
they weren't going to take any
chancese with it.
"Gather up their rifles," said Billy
to Peggy, and she scrambled quickly
to obey.
lhe Germans were more dum-
founded than ever when they saw
their rifles being piled up in a heap
on one side.
"This is Yankee sorcery. Charge
the gunl" shouted the big sergeant,
making a rush toward Billy.
ror a moment reggy Held ner
breath. . Billy didn't dare fire, be
cause she was among the Germans,
right behind the sergeant. And in
another second he might be captur
ed, reggy had a rifle in her hands.
On the end of it was a bayonet.
Raising the gun she thrust swiftly
forward. Toe bayonet caught the
sergeant in the back of the legN
"Kameradl" he shrieked, and his
hands went up as high as he could
reach.
(Tomorrow will be told how Peggy and
Billy go to the rescue of Ben and BUI.
Aprons Being Featured
By GERTRUDE BERESFORD.
Aprons are an interesting feature
of the winter gowns. You will ob
serve a very attractive ope in this
model of navy tricotine and black
charmeuse satin. The apron is cut
slightly circular to give a proper
flare. A deep hem of charmeuse
borders this apron, which is also
outlined with several rows of black
soutache braid. The skirt is plainly
gathered and quite narrow. A very
becoming neck finish is found in
the deep revers of black charmeuse
and a vest of white georgette crepe,
which is spanned with rows of black
soutache and bound with black char
meuse. A jet buckle, joins the re
vers. Bell sleeves, which are much
used this winter, are bordered to
match the apron. The black velvet
turban worn with this gown is
trimmed with an imitation aigrette.
