She Had a Big Train Drawn by a ; Huge Gasoline Tractor and an Army of Men to Take Care of Her--Her Range is "Fifteen Miles or a Bit More"--Coughs All Day Long. x HE young newcomer to the billet sat up. with a start and stared in wonderment while the ground rocked under him. ¢ "Needn't be alarmed, sonny" quoth ans old-timer there as he un: concernedly lighted a "fag," "that's only 'Hefty Annie' doing a cough and spit at the Boches. Never heerd big guns barking before, I s'pose?" The youngster admitted that he had not. r "Well, you'll soon get used to them here, an' then you won't mind them no mor'n if they was your mo- ther singing y' tq sleep. It's fine music, m' boy, find music when _it's made by yolir own side, and dayfitied- unwelcome when it's made bY the other.' Having delivered himself of this terse description of gun-firg the old-timer stretched comfortably back and whilfed his "fag" with great enjoyment, "Hefty Annie' lay out fields nearby cunningly screened from the sharp eyes of the hawk- men from over the barbed-wire bor- der who were always trying to locate ber whereabouts, with the sinirter motive of compassing her destruc- tion. Official documents, in their cold, unimaginative way, described her as "Howitzer, 15-inch, mark " and so on. But to the more understanding minds of the men who expended much loving care upon her, "Annie" was a creature with a soul, something that could be talked to and had a truly feminine 'way of exacting little attentions from the male folk around her--not a mere cylinder of st which alternately labored and sle But then official- dom, dry as dust and dull of vision, does not understand the psychology of guns as the men who work them do. "Hefty Annie" in the was not only "hefty" in herself but she demanded the same useful quality from the "court" over which she queened it with most exacting autocracy. No room there for unmuscular weak- lings nor ahy slow of foot. When "'Annie" started upon her travels she did so in almost royal state. Her train spread over quite a considerable length of roadway. A {buge-patrol tractor led the van--a strange-looking contraption with rear wheels almost as high as an omnibus' knife-board; then came "Annie" herself in solitary grandeu upon her special carriage and eh in tarpaulins--the scarlet and ermine of her line. After her rolled the "pill-boxes," otherwise the am- munition wagons (so called because the battery humorist had chalked "Pills for the Kaiser" on their dull grey sides); then the "wireless" truck and sundry other vehicles all designed for the specific purpose of ministering to "Annie's" needs. These trundled along at a good pace under the persuasion of the tractor, which, although a queer-looking af- fair in itself, was indubitably "hefty" when it came to pulling. "Somewhere in France" at last, and "Hefty Annie' was settling down to "own a bit of the earth." Dexter: ously, yet carefully, her "subjects" went about the task of erecting her throne. - First, they laid the bed- plates which formed the base of it; when all was ready tackles were rig- ged and "Annie" was enthroned with somewhat less pomp, perhaps, but with far greater solicitude for permanency of her seat than is us- ually shown towards monarchs. Just what was done, how it was done, and why it was done would make an in- teresting story. Doubtless history will tell us all about the matter one day. This narrative, not being his- tory, must stop at Arcusing curiosity and not go on to satisfy it. Suffice it, therefore, to say that everything that had to be done was done--swiftly, deftly, and correctly, as the work of well-trained hands always is. Its completion found "Hefty Annie" sitting grimly on her seat and poking an ugly round snout contemptuously towards the enemy. "All ready for action, sir," shout- ed a subaltern, poking his into a hole and addressing spmeo ap- parently down in the bowels of the earth, who answered: "Righto. What's your full range, did you say?" "Fifteen miles or a bit more, sir," replied the "sub," whereat the sub- terranean voice rumbled back an ex- pression Sf ard: satistastion, 80 it was "Hefty Annie" began her " the | Princess and Division Sta, Downeys Sbarage Repair Work o ul Hide 1nd Wash Cars Stored at- Reasonable Rates.
