Archey Forbes came back in the beginning of May and the first call he made was to the house on the hill.

He had brought with him a collection of souvenirs--a trench-made ring, shrapnel fragments of curious shapes, the inevitable helmet and a sword handle with a piece of wire attached.
"It was part of our work once," he said, "to find booby traps and make them harmless.

This was in a barn, looking as though some one had tried to hide his sword in the hay.

It looked funny to me, so I went at it easy and found the wire connected to a fuse.

There was enough explosive to blow up the barn and everybody around there, but it wouldn't blow up a hill of bears when we got through with it." He coloured a little through his bronze.
