He was walking home from school along Front street, which runs parallel to the shore of lower New York bay, when he saw some flares shooting up on the beach. It was wartime and those flares might have meant but to a thirteen-year-ol- d kid like Andy they were something that had to be investigated. He walked down along the beach. There were no more flares, but he did find four steel drums half buried in the sand. Their tops were half off, and, delving into one of them, he found It colored rocks. packed with what looked like small-size- d Andy took a handful of those stones and put them in his coat pocket Then he went home for lunch.

Those stones didn't look very good to dad. He told Andy to throw them away. But Andy wanted to look them over some more. He took the stones outside, but, instead of throwing them away, he slipped them into his hip pocket and went back into the house. He sat down at the table again, feeling a little guilty, but mighty impatient to get out of the house and take another look at , those mysterious bits of rock. He finished his lunch In a hurry, put on his hat and overcoat and once more headed for the waterfront. He was halfway back to school before he started to take the stones from his pocket Then, just as ha was reaching for them, he heard a strange hissing sound, and the next thing he knew he was hit a stunning blow in the back and went sailing high in the aii.

He screamed and cried tried frantically to beat out the blaze, but all he managed to do was burn his hands. A fisherman came running up from the beach, whipped out a clasp knife and began to cut Andy's outer clothing from his body. sen-Jens- en up to his collarbone was smoking. Thick, acrid fumes were issuing from beneath his underwear. The fisherman didn't know what to make of it, but he did know Andy needed a doctor. He took him home. The minute he got home again Andy's dad stripped the remaining clothes from him and put him to bed. Immediately the bed caught fire from his blistered, smoking body and burst into flame. His dad beat the fire out and, while he was doing that, a policeman and a doctor arrived. The policeman tried to question Andy, but that wasn't any use. All the poor kid new was that he was burning that his flesh was smoking and blazing as if It were so much firewood. He was terrified numb with pain and fear. The doctor saw that and rushed him off to a hospital with smoke still issuing from a dozen small holes in his back. ' T. N. T.

They peeled the burnt skin from his body, greased him with salve, and thus he started a stay in the hospital that was to last a year and seven months. But later that first day, after he had had a little rest, a policeman and a fireman came and asked him a lot of questions. He told them what had happened In particular, all about the colored stones. They went to the beach and investigated and came back with a strange story. The stones Andy had been playing with were chunks of T. N. T. For a time no one could explain how those drums loaded with T. N. T. bad come to be placed there on the beach. The water of the bay had dampened the stuff, and that had caused the flares that had attracted Andy's attention that i noontime. It was dampness, too, that must have set off the chunks In Andy's pockets. But what it was doing on the beach, half burled in wet sand well-nob- ody in Stapleton nobody on Staten Island could figure that out It wasn't until some time later ,that that part of the mystery was cleared up. The drums were traced to a German who lived in the neighborhood, and, since It was wartime, the German was arrested.
