The war bread Is as tough nd as hard as rubber and of about portun the size and shape of a small stone prove block that you use for paving streets. Rrcat We kept the bread buried until night have u Then we piled It up In a kind of crate, and when the sentries were out of lght we rushed It over to the tunnel. It ?endln was the most beautiful tunnel you ever To I aaw. The sides were built tip like *oos I' vncK wans, and the roof was a perfect < rch.

It was a regular bow- ateaml Jng and scraping, "You flrst-my dear- he des lAlphonse" sort of proceeding.
