Jt. Beer i started out ae an honest little soldier in the French Army—short, stocky, Agile. He was Jules Taffin. And he had just one accom. plishment that made him different from avy other pri- vate soldier of France.

The engineer staff gave him a regular job at copying fort plans and the mechanism of guns and turrets whose secret was not known to the outer world. It was easy and pleasant work for Taffin, and it brought him an tn- crease of pay, which permitted him to marry a girl with whom he was deeply in love. Tatfin was stationed at the garrison town of Nancy. Here he rented’ a pretty little house for his bride.
