When Harry Hickman, age 19, applied for enlistment in the United States army at the Richmond recruiting office, yesterday, Sergeant Bond casually inquired of the boy if he had had "previous experience." "Sure, with the English army seven months in the French trenches," Hickman informed jncle Sam's astonished recruiting officer. The boy, whose home is in Cambridge City, Ind.. successfully passed the physical examination and will be enlisted If his father, William Hickman, gives his consent. Young Hickman submitted .his honorable discharge papers from the English army and showed the recruiting officer scars of two wounds received by him while fighting "somewhere in France." "1 ran away from home, in Cambridge City," last July, but my father got me discharged from the English service, through the efforts of the American state department, before my enlistment expired." Hickman stated. "I like soldiering and I want to fight for my own country now. I was glad to get away from France because the English kept telling me that Japan was going to fight the United States. I just hope they send me to Mexico." Hickman arrived in Liverpool, England, August 21, last year, on a cattle boat. The following day he enlisted with the Nineteenth Welsh infantry. After a month in. a training camp his

regiment was sent to France, being detailed to the" first line trenches at Levante, 200 miles southeast of Verdun. "There were two hundred American boys in my batallionl but I was the only Hoosier," Hickman said. "The English treated we Americans fine because the .Yankees never overlooked a chance to' get into a hot fight My pal, Fred Eller, of Homestead, Pa., was killed leaping into a German trench on September 10, when the English drive on Le Vasse began. The English sure dohate the Germans. We took no prisoners. The Germans do, however, but they don't treat them very well and they treat the Belgians like dogs. My company in coming out of a trench one night to return to our base surprised about two hundred Germans in a farm house. We shot down nearly all of them. When we got into the "house we found a Belgian girl tied to a post with a can of gasoline at the side of her. I didn't see what happened after we found this girl but a sergeant toldv me they strung up every wounded German to the rafters. On November 10 I was wounded in the calf of the right leg by a piece of shell. Shortly before that I had a slice of my right forefinger taken off by a bullet when I exposed my hand over the trench top. I got out of the hospital shortly before Christmas and on Christmas day a few of us Americans visited the Germans in their trenches and shook hands with them.

' "One day our officers saw women in the German trenches and we hoisted a sign, calling them cowards and telling them e wouldn't fight against women. Say, they sure, did get mad over being called cowards. Their big guns almost blew away our trenches, then they came after us with the bayonets, and they didn't bring the women with them when they came. It was a hand to hand mill for an hour before we beat them off." Hickman says the gas attacks are not very effective because of the air helmets now worn by the French and English soldiers. . ; "The Cambridge City boy got his first bit of fighting four hours after his regiment went into the trenches. "We were ordered into a bayonet charge following a German gas attack," he said. "I shook so 1 couldn't hardly stand up, but after I drilled my first roan I forgot all about being afraid. It was all so terrible I can hardly remember anything about that charge now. If you shoot down a German he is very likely to come at you again with the long knife he carries. The Indian troops like that kind of fighting. It's their own style. I was in the . drive that shoved the Germans back from Levante through Merville to Le Vasse and one time I went four days without a thing to eat. I got my discharge from the English army on February 29, this year, and came home at once:"

He had turned around and was about I to descend the staircase when Craw-i ley's door opened. Brooke swung round. "Hullo!" he grunted. "At last! Gone to bed eh? Lazy beggar!" Then he suddenly stopped speaking and stared very hard at the man who stood at the open door, the electric light on the landing falling full on his face. "Good Lord, man!" he gasped, going quickly toward him. "What's the matter? You look like a corpse!" Brooke's description was totally inadequate. Crawley looked terrible, and, when he recognized his visitor, a look of such startling horror flashed into his wild eyes, a hue of such ghastly white suddenly flew to his already pallid face, that Godfrey Brooke was quite justified in thinking that his old friend was either very ill indeed or that his reason had suddenly, left hfm. For the noment he looked positively insane ns he stood there with his wild eyes wi.de open, transfixed with a nameless horror. Crawley Tries to Keep Brooke Out.

"Bless my soul!' exclaimed Brooke gruffly. "What the dickens is the! matter? Don't go on looking at.mej

like that! I'm not soing to eat you! Come on, old man, pull yourself together! Something's very wrong, I can sop: but. sit tight, lad, sit tight!" He laid his great brown, hairy hand

affectionately on the younger man's! shoulder: bill Crawley recoiled from) his touch with a stifled groan. ! "Come on. sonny," said Brooke, iiij

his great, deep-toned genial voice. "Let's go in and talk it over. You ran rely on me. ".you know." He made as if to enter the flat, but Craw Joy forced him hack. "No, no, Brooke!" He spoke for the first time. And the older man did not recognize his voice, so cracked and husky was it. "No, you must not come . in here! Anything but that anything!" "Well, I'm hanged!" exclaimed Brooke. "What have I done, pray?" "Go away," moaned Crawley like a distracted woman; "for Heaven's sake, old man, go away!" "I'll see you hanged first!" growled Brooke. "Now just pick yourself up, my son. You've gone to pieces. Come " come!" he roared savagely. "Don't he an ass! There's nothing can happen to a man in the world to justify his acting the fool as you are doing. Now then, what's gone wrong, Miss Warren"

Crawley shook his head. "Humph! Good Heavens!" An idea suddenly struck the traveler. "You don't mean to say it's that that other woman, that Zoe devil of yours?" An inarticulate groan escaped from

Crawley's chalk-white lips as he ' raised a trembling hand in protest. "It is, then!" Brooke glared at the artist ferociously. "So the infernal little vermin has been bothering you again eh? 11a! And - you haven't got the tense to Oh, I say, Crawley" be broke off protestingly "do be a man! You are really behaving more like a scared girl!" - - "Go away!" pleaded Crawley. "I isk it of you! For Heaven's sake, go away aml leave me!" "Not. I," bluffly, replied Brooke. Not 'until I leave you in proper

charge. You aren't fit tobe left with less than two keepers." He laughed boisterously. He was so relieved to find that it was nothing worse than that Zoe again. What a silly young fool Noel was. "Well, my son," he went' on. "and what does your Zoe say now eh! Been scaring you again with her hysteria? Law! Crawley, you otihgt to have more sense. Women like that ought to be locked up, to keep 'em from annoying respectable, impressionable young artists. What did you do to her? I know what I'd

have done. I'd have frog-marched her downstairs to the nearest policeman and given her in charge. Pshaw! Women like that are pests! They ought to be stamped out!" Brooke crushed an imaginary Zoe under his heel and swore a lound, reconant oath. Crawley raised his hand again. "Stop!" he gasped. "You don't know what you're saying. She is dead dead, Brooke!" To Be Continued.

Benny Brown sat on the bank of the river down in Georgia fishing. Benny was sleepy, for the sun 'shone warmly on the water, but the howl of animals back in the forests kept him awake for it was more than 100 years ago that Benny lived, and he was a lad right-in the midst of the excitement of the Revolutionary War. So as his cork bobbed, his head nodded. Then suddenly he sat up and gazed in wonder, for around the bend in the river came four stately ships of war. On board he could see big guns

peeping over the side and men in blue with swords dangling about their knees. "The British sloops," he cried in astonishment, "going up the river and all the American troops away. Father will be back at dawn from the army,

but what good will that do?" And poor Benny set up a shout that was soon answered by three other American

j boys who had. been fishing farther down the stream. J "There are no men at' home now," i explained Benny, when his comrades j had gathered about. "But some are j due tomorrow, for my father gets

borne early in the day. It is up to us, boys, to keep that fleet can we do it?" - . There were Bob. Fred and Harold, besides : himself, makins four in all. So Ben sat still with his head in his hands, while -the other boys watched the ships sailing toward them. Presently the little fleet dronped anchor and came to rest about a quarter o'f a mile off shore. "I have it,'" exclaimed Benny: Mail

ing to his feet, "we can fool those

English and'eapture their ships all by!

ourselves if you fellows will just follow me." Then he explained what ; they were to do. Harold knew all the army bugle calls and had an instru-i ment with which he could send the! notes trembling far over the river, so ' he ran home for it, while Bennv ex-!

plained the plan to the others. Fred i

was an expert at drumming and happened to have brought his best one along. "My plan is this," said Benny. "We must make the British believe that the American troops have iust arrived, but

the best plan will be not to do the ! work till after sunset . Then we c an J manage it easily. Now all of us get to ; work and build big bonfires on, all of jthe eight hills in sight. That will ; keep us busy till supper, and after you

teiiows nave had supper, come here as quickly as you can. That captain will think we have 10,000 troops here and father can make him surrender." So all the hot afternoon the four boys worked like beavers draeeinz

j brush and dead planks to the top of

t ne hills till each" one was crowned with a hugle pile of brush. The English ships lay still in the bend of the river and did not notice anything unusual going on around them. But as soon as darkness crept over the land big bonfires began to pop out. First one then another blazed iorth' till every hill was a beacon light. Then Benny had Harold walk along the meadow sounding his bugle as if calling troops to camp, while Fred on another lowland beat his drum loudly as if he were carrying orders to soldiers. , All night there were to.be heard the

shrill calls of a bugle and the stately roll of a drum echoing from the hills. When dawn drew near Benny ran home to greet his father, who had just arrived. In a few excited words he told his story. "Write a note to that British captain demanding his surrender, telling him it is useless to delay, that the American troops are on all sides," cried the boy. "Then take it out yourself under a flag of truce." Within. half an hour this-was done, and by the time the first rays of the

PUNCTURE, in th broad sense of the word, is the motorist's worst enemy and thp tire's eventual ruin. To prevent "puncture." therefore, is virtually to preserve the tire. Repair of injury ran afford but fleeting security. For. even when a hole, cut or bruise in tubs, casing or carcass is efficiently repaired, the perfect arch of tho tire has been broken down. Uniformity of strain is disturbed. Destruction follows sooner or later. So much for material devastation. What need to dilate upon the personal side of the question the worry, delay, labor and expense? These are obvious and too well known to the majority of automobilists. "Guaranteed Puncture-Proof" signilies the motorist's deliverance from tire calamity. By eliminating "puncture" the source of most tire evil the Lee Puncture-Proof Pneumatic Tire established an entirely new standard of -service and virtually rendered all other tires obsolete. Not the sudden achievement of a day's or a year's effort, but the outcome of long experience and untiring experimentation. Iee Tires are made by a company whose name has been honorab'y identified with the production of rubber goods for over a quarter centnry.
