This is taught in the school for bomb -throwers in England. First, there is a definite way of throwing the bomb, Baseball pitch- ing is exactly the wrong motion. The bomb is too heavy for pitching and the jbrkineaa of the motion is dangerous. The British sportsman had an easy time in learning, because bomb -throw- ing is eznCtly the same as bowling in cricket. The motion starts when you have the ring out, holding the bomb at about the level of the thigh. Then, with an overhand motion, you bring it well over the head and throw, quick and high, gauging the height so that the bomb does not explode in the air. There are three stages in the educa- tion of bombers. The first is the nerv- ous stage. The second is the confi- dent but respectful stage.: The third is the period of "over -confidence. The second is ideal. The first can be cured. The third may be fatal. A Case of .Stage Fright. more o the per Woman you have conversation,"' said the Sphinx, ad- dressing himself to Pat. Notieing signs of consternation in the girl's face, he continued reassuringly:' "Don't be Worried about these men. 1 will be here to see that you are not molested." On his way downstairs, Kelly trans- ferred the string of pearls to his as- sistant, hurriedly instructing him to take them to the hotel and there await "Before we talk about redeeming Kelly's arrival.

Philips looked into an adjoining room and saw the woman he had betrayed and robbed. Before he could move or say a word Pat shut the door and stood with her back against it. Phillips was now ready to listen to reason: "I'll give you a check for the money," he said, making a move to- ward his pocket. "Cold cash is the requirement—and the pearls are yours," said Pat, the pearls, and then stepped to the fireplace. She put her foot upon one of the tiles. The mantle began moving slowly along the wall, taking the -fire- place with it. In a moment a door was disclosed, and touching a -button Pat swung it open and disappeared from the room. Then the fireplace and mantle moved back to its original position. Kelly had, during this time, been ar- guing with the detectives about the fallacy of searching further for the pearls. "They are not here," was Kelley's assurance to the sleuths. Bring the money yourself or send it But, argue as he might, they were by Phil.. Kelly.

Going first to his bankers to get the money, lie then returned to the hotel in search of the Sphinx. When Kelly heard what Phillips had to say, he advised immediate com- pliance with Pat's demand. "Will you take her the money, Mr. Kelly?" said Philips. "I'm too ashamed of myself to face her again." And the Sphinx speedily, agreed to go with the cash and place it in Pat's hands. Phillips still had the ordeal of fac- ing his wife, and was worried aboytt what he should say. For some time Philips walked the streets, trying to conjure a way to sat- isfy his wife. Finally, although still undecided, he went to his apartments. His wife was not at hone. The maid told him she had gone to hire detectives to trace the missing pearls. The very thing Philips dreaded had happened. Hurrying to the telephone, he called Pat's number and got the girl on the drawing room to inform Pat .of the proceeding. When the Sphinx opened the door he was astounded to'find the room empty. He searched in the adjoining room, opening every door in sight. "She's gone. She's outwittedme again," was his excited cbminent, spoken half aloud. And at that in- stant his eyes fell upon a purple mask placed conspicousiy an the drawing - room table. (To be continued.)

The dummy practice had not prepared him for the real thing. When the in- structor took him down to the firing bay the man took the bomb, pulled: out the pin, and then, holding the lever down with all hit might, he turned to the officer and said: "I can't throw it, sir." He was trembling with fright. "Go ahead," said the instructor, "I can't" The insf,i;uctor went to him and tried to work his own hand down over the lever, but the man was holding it too closely. Had he let go both of them would have been- blown to: bits. But he could neither let go nor throw the bom; Thbe officer was thoroughly frighten- ed, but he didn't let the man see that. Instead, he sat down and .inquired whether the bomb would aver be thrown. "No, sir,"' kaki,the man. "Very well. I shall smoke," ' With that the officer broke the first rule of the throwing range and lit a cigarette. A moment later he told the man that he was going to sleep. "Wake me up when you get ready to throw," he said, and leaned back against the sandbags. He pretended, to close his eyes. Gradually his own indifference had its effect. The bomber, still mortally afraid, edged closer and closer to the' wall of the bay. Then, when he thought that the officer really had gone to sleep, he dropped the bomb gently over the side and sprang back, Five seconds later that bomber had lost all fear of his profession. He had heard the thing go off; he knew that he was safe. At the end of the ten- day course he was an expect. Learning the Art of Bombing. .When a bomber -to -be knows his bombs and knows how to throw them, either from standing position in the trench or from crouching in a crater; when he knows his range and can cal- culate the trajectory of a rifle gren- ade, his work in tactics begins. Even with diagrams it is impossible to give any idea of all the ' complications of this work. So, at the great school in England a trench system has been built which combines all the varieties of trenches to be found on all fronts wlieie the British army is fighting', The_men who are studying for cer- tificates as bombing instructors go into these trenches and have daily battles: Planning and .commanding are es- sentials of this work. ,The men are not only taught to be bombers, they are taught to teach bombing to others, the rank and file. They have to know and to teach the work of the Royal Engineers, because in both trench and open warfare the engineers usually have more than they can do. -" So the expert bomber will be able to pull in a. trench or.to burrow down a tunnel and blow up a mine, Ile will know theta jug of wine probably eon•• tains high explosives and that there is a charge of dynamite attached to the hammei-of C sharp on the piano left standing at the late German headquarters.

' In spite of the terrible bombard- ment that the city of Rheims under- went during many of the' early months of 1915, instruction for children atilt went on in subterranean schools, the most famous of which is the Dubail School, named after a well-known French general, The school occupied nearly a quarter of the'basenlent of a large building devoted to the cham- pagne industryi only a mile from the front line trenches of the enemy. The basement was protected by the three cement floors of the rooms above and by a hill just behind the building. There were also two sub -basements' below it, the lower not less than thirty-six feet underground. The basement was a large rectangu- lar room about one hundred and eighty feet long and sixty feet wide, with the floor nine and ono half feet below the surface of the earth provided . with eight small airholes and lighted main- ly by three' dozen large' hanging lamps, Furnishings and other indis- pensable equipment had been borrow- ed from deserted schools near by. The four corners of the room were occu- pied by three elementary classes and one class for mothers. Before the au- thorities allowed children to attend they required the parents to sign • a document freeing the faculty of the school from all responsibility in case of injury. In Le Journal de l'Eeole Dubail the superintendent of the pri- mary schools in Rheims describes some.of the experiences of the pupils of this unique school. One Saturday morning, he says, I lined up all the scholars for sanitary, inspection at a quarter of nine as us- ual, and then we went down from the ground floor of the buildinginto the basement classroom. Ten , minutes later there came a terrific explosion, a violent shock made the whole build- ing tremble, and a cloud of thick, black smoke and white dust poured into the cellar. A 210 shell had fallen on, the roof aboat sixty feet away, Pierced two of the floors, and even hurled shot and fragments as far as the scholars. The older children and the parents who had been waiting for a lull in the bombardment before de- parting, shrieked, while the smaller ones sobbed jtnd wept. The teachers looked at ire frightened but calm. I was nervous, too, but said reassuring- ly: "That is all. Two never fall in the same place. Don't be afraid, children. Let us all go down into the cellar; the little ones first. We have time." Mme. Camous went first with the younger children, aided by Mine. Bou- denot, and several of the mothers carrying the tiniest scholars; then followed Mmes. Joliet and Mauroy With the older children and parents. All were out in three minutes and without confusion. In the cellar calm soon returned; the women comforted the children, and then told- them about the language of the artillery, until at each explosion the little ones raised a warning finger and cried, "Boom!" That kept them amused, At last the bombardment was over and We had escaped without injury. At ten o'clock we returned to the class- room, which' we found strewn with shrapnel bullets and fragments, brok- en glass, strange contorted pieces of steel and broken iron, all covered with a fine film of plaster dust. The shell had gone completely through the up- per floor and exploded on touching the second, so that fortunately the floor above our head had been pierced only by the small pieces and the contents of the shell.
