CHAPTER XI. i I Encounter Q*rm*n Soldier*, What the Belgian told me about the need of a passport gave me fresh cause for worry. Suppose I should ran Into a German sentry before I succeeded In getting one? I decided that until I reached the big city -which the Belgian had men tloned —and which I cannot-name for fear of Identifying some of the peoplo there who befriended me—l would proceed with the utmost precaution. Blnce I had discarded my uniform and had obtained civilian clothes, I Last Photograph Taken of Lieutenant O'Brien Before His Capture. With Him la Hia Chum, Lieutenant Raney. bad not been quite as careful as I waa at first. While I had done my trav eling at night I had not gone into hiding so early in the morning as before and I had aometlmea atarted again before It was quite dark, rely ing upon the fact that I would prob ably be mistaken tor a Belgian on his way to or from work, as the case might be. From now on, I resolved, however, 1 would take no more chance*. That evening I came to a river per haps seventy-five yarda wide and I was getting ready, to swim It when I thought I would walk a little way to find. If possible, s better place to get to the river from the bank. I had not walked more than a few hundred yards when I saw s boat It waa the first time I bad aeen s boat in all my experiences. It was firmly chained, bat as the stakes were sunk in the soft bank it wss not much of s Job to pull tbem out I got In, drsnk to my heart's content, shoved over to the other aide, got eat drove s stake Into the ground and moored the boat It' would have been a simple matter to have drifted down the river, bnt the river was not shown on the map and I had no Idea where It might lead me. Very reluc tantly, therefore, I bad to abandon the boat and proceed oo toot I made several miles that night and before daylight fbund a safe place In which to hide for the day. From my hiding place I could see through the boshes a heavy thick wood only a Short distance away. I decided that I would start earlier than usual, hurry over to the wood and' perhaps, In that way, I could cover two or three mile* In the daytime and gain just so much time. Traveling through the wood would be comparatively safe. There wa* * railroad going through the wood, but I did not figure that that would make It any the less safe. About three o'clock that afternoon, therefore, t emerged from my hiding place and hurried Into the wood. After proceeding for half a mile or so I came to the railroad. I took a sharp look In both direction* and see ing no signs of fralns or soldier*, I walked boldly over the tracks and continued on my way. I soon came upon a clearing and knew that someone must be living In the vicinity. As I turned a group of tree* I saw a small house and In the distance an old man working In a garden. I decided to enter the house and ask for food, figuring the woman would probably be old and would be no match for me even if she proved hostile. The old woman who came to the door in response to my knock wa* older than I expected. If ahe wasn't close to a hundred, I mis* my guess very much. She could not apeak English and 1 could not epeak Flemish, of course, but nevertheless I made her under stand that I wanted something to eat. She came out of the door and hol loed for her husband In a shrill vole* that would have done credit to a girl of eighteen. The old man came in from the garden and between the two of them they managed to get the Idea that I was hungry and they gave m» a piece of bread—« very small piece— whlcji was quite a treat The house they lived In consisted of Just two room*—the kitchen and a bedroom. The kitchen was perhaps fourteen feet square, effcht feet of one side being taken up by an enor moua fireplace. What was In the bed room I had no way of telling, as I did not dare to be too Inquisitive. I made the old couple understand that I would like to stay In their house all night, but the old man shook hi* head. I bade them good-by and dis appeared Into the woods, leaving them to speculate as to the strange for eigner they had entertained. From the great density of the popu lation In thl* section through which I was now passing I realized that I must be In the outskirts of the big city which the Belgian had mentioned and where I was to procure a pasa "port Village after village Intercepted me, and although I tried to skirt them wherever poaslble I realized that I would never make much progress If I continued that course. To gain a mile I would sometimes have to make • detour of two or three. I decided that I would try my luck In going straight through the next village I came to. As I approached It, I passed num bers of peasants who were ambling along the road. I was afraid to mingle with them because It was Impossible for one to talk to them and It was dangerous to arouse suspicion even among the Belgians. For all I knew, one of them might be treacherous enough to deliver me to the Germans In return for the reward he might be sure of receiving. About 0 o'clock that evening I came to a point where ahead of me on the right was a Belgian police station —I knew It from Its red lights—and on the other side of the street were two German soldiers in uniform leaning against a bicycle. Here was a problem which called for Instant decision; If I turned back the suspicion of the soldiers would be. Instantly aroused and If I crossed the road so as not to pass so closely to them they might be equally sus picious. I decided to march bravely by the Buna, bluff my way through and trust to Providence. If anybody Imagines, however, that I was at all comfortable as I approached these soldiers, be must think I am a much braver man than I claim to be. My heart beat so loud I was afraid they would hear it Every step I took brought me so much nearer to what might prove to be the end of all my hope*. It was a nerve-racking ordeal. I vu DOW wltbln a few feet of them. Another atep and — They didn't turn a hair I I paaaed right by them—heard what they were Baying, althongh, of courae, I didn't underataod It, and went right on. I can't aay I didn't walk a little fnater aa I left them behind, but } tried to maintain an even gait ao aa not to give them any Idea of the Inward ex ultation I waa experiencing. No worda can explain, however, how relieved 1 really felt—to know that I bad aoc cetmfnlly paaaed through the flrat of a aerlea of atmllar teata which I real ized were In atore for me—although I did not know then bow aoon I waa to be confronted with the aecond. Aa It waa, however, the Incident gave me a world of confidence. It demooatrated to me that there waa nothing In my appearance at any rate to attract the attention of the German aoldlera. Apparently I looked like ■ Belgian j>eaaant, and If could only work thing* ao that I would never have to anawer queationa and thoa give away my nationality, I figured I would be tolerably aafe. Aa I marched along I felt ao happy I couldn't help humming an air of oae of the new satrloUc aonga that wa GRAHAM, N. C., THURSBAY, AUGUSI 15,1918 vsed~tb sing at the airdrome lack In Tpres. In thl* happy frame of mind I cov ered the next three mile* In about an hour and then came to another little village. My usual course would have been to go around It—through figUls. back yards, woods or whatever else lay In my way—but I bad gained so much time by going through the last village Instead of detourlng around It and my appearance aeemed to be so unsuspicious that I decided to try the same stunt again. I atopped humming and kept very much on the alert, but apart from that, I walked boldly through the main street without any feeling of alarm. I had proceeded perhaps a mile along the malu street when I noticed ahead ot me three German soldiers standing at the curb. Again my heart atarted to beat fast, I must confess, but I waa not nearly so scared a* I had been an hour or so before. I walked ahead, determined to fol low my previous procedure In every particular. I had got to about fifteen feet away from the soldier* when one of them stepped' onto the sidewalk and shouted: . "Halt I" My heart stopped beating fast—for a moment, I believe. It stopped Mating altogether! I can't attempt to de scribe my feelings. I thought that the Jig was up—that all 1 had gone through and all 1 had escaped would now avail me nothing, mingled with the feeling of disgust with my self because of the foolish risk 1 had taken in going through the vil lage, combined to take all the atarch out of me, and I could feel myself wilting as the soldier advanced to th* spot where I stood rooted In my trackri. I had a bottle of water In one pocket and a piece of bread In the other, and as the Hun advanced to search me 1 held the bottie up In one hand and the piece of bread In the other ao thai be could see that was all 1 had. It occurred to me that he would •frisk" me—that la, feel me over for arms or other weapons, then plac* me under arrest and march me off to th* guardhouae. I bad not th* slight est idea but thst I was capturad and there didn't aeem to be much use In resisting, unarmed as I wa* *nd with two other German soldiers within a few feet of us. Like a flash It suddenly dawned on me, however, that for all this soldier could have known I was only a'Bel gian peasant and that bis object In searching me, which he proceeded te do, was to ascertain whether I had committed the common "crime" of smuggling potatoes. The Belgian* were allowed only a certain amount of potatoes, and It la agalnat the lawe laid down by tho Hun* to deal In vegetable* of any kind except under the rigid supervi sion of the authorities. Nevertheless, It waa one of the principal vocation* of the average poor B*lglan to buy potatoes out In the country from peasants and then amuggle them Into the large dtlea and sell them clan destinely at a high price. To stop this traffic In potatoes, the German aoldlera were In the bablt of subjecting the Belgians to frequent search, and I was being held up by this soldier for no other reason than that he thought I might be a potatq smuggler I He felt of my outalde clothe* and pockets, and finding no potatoes aeemed to be quit* aatlafled. Had he but known who I waa ha could hav* earned an Iron cross I Or, perhaps. In view of the fact that I had a heavy water bottle In my uplifted band, It might have turned out to be a wooden cross I He said aomethlng In German, wblcb, of course, I did not understand, and then some Belgian peaaanta cam* along and aeemed to distract hi* atten tion. Perhaps he had Mid: "It'* all right; yon may go on," or be may have been talking to the others In Ftemlah, but st any rate, observing that he was more Interested In the ethers than he was In me at the mo ment, I put the bottle In my pocket and walked on. After I walked a few steps, 1 took a furtive glance backward and noticed the soldier who had searched me re join bla comrades at the curb and then atop another fellow who had come along, and then I disappeared In the darkness. I cannot say that the outcome of thli adventure left me In the same confident frame of mind that followed the earlier one. I waa sura I had come oat of It all right, but I could not help thinking what a terribly close ahave I had. Huppoae the aoldler had questioned me I The ruse I had been following. In my dealings with the Belgian peas ants—pretending I waa deaf and dumb—might posalbly have worked here, too, bat a aoldler —a wrman soldier—might not ao easily bars been fooled. It *w more than an even chance that It would have at leaat aroused hla suspicion and resulted la further Investigation. A aearch of my clothing would have revealed a dozen things which would have estab lished my Identity and all my sham ming of deafness would have availed mo nothing. Aa I wandered along 1 knew that I was now sppreachlng the Mg city which my Belgian friend had spoken If I was to.fet the passport, and I realised nrr V»w essential It was to have something to enable me to get through the fre«pieot examinations to which I expected to be subjected. While I was still debating In ray mind whether It was going to be pos sible for me to enter the city that night, I saw In the distance what ap peared to be an arc light, and as 1 neured It that waa what It turned out to be. Beneath the light I could make oat the forma of three guards, and the thought of having to go through the same kind of ordeal that I had Just experienced fllled me with misgivings. Was it possible that I could be fortunate enough to get by again 1 Aa I iiowed up a little, trying to make up my mind what waa best to do, I waa overtaken by • groop of Bet- Searched by Carman Guards. tun women who were shuffling aloof the road, and I decided to mingle with them and see if I couldn't convey the Impression that I was one of their party. AM we approached the arc light, the figures of those three soldiers with their spiked helmets loomed before like a regiment. I felt as if I were walking right Into the Jawa of death. Rather than go through what waa in store for me, I felt that I would in finitely prefer to be fighting again In the air with those four desperate Huns who had been the %use of my present plight—then, at least, I would have a chance to fight back, but now I had to risk my life and take what was coming to me without a chance to atrlke a blow In my own defense. I shall never forget my feelings as we came within the shaft of light pro jected by that great arc light nor the faces of those three guards as we passed by them. I didn't look directly at them, but out of the corner of my eye I never missed a detail. I held a handkerchief up to my face as we passed them and endeavored to imi tate the slouching gait of the Belgians aa well as I could, and apparently It worked. We walked right by those guards and they paid absolutely no attention to us. If ever a fellow felt like going down on hla knees and praying I did at that moment, but it wouldn't have done to show my elation or gratitude In that conspicuous way. It was then well after 11 o'clock and I knew it would he unsafe for me to > fettampt to find a lodging place In the city, and the only thing for mo to do was to locate the man whose name the Belgian had given me. He bad given me a good description of the street and had directed me bow to get there, and 1 followed bis instructions closely. After walking the streets for about half an hour, I came upon one of the landmarks my friend had described to me and ten minutes afterwards I waa knocking at the door of the man who was to make It possible for me to reach Holland—and liberty 1 At least, that was what I hoped. CHAPTER XII. The Forged Passport For obvious reasons, 1 cannot de scribe the man to whom I applied for the passport nor tho house In which he lived. While, in view of what sub sequently happened, I would not be very much concerned If he got Into trouble for having dealt with me, 1 realize that the hardships he had en dured In common with the other In habitants of that conquered city may possibly have distorted his idea of right and Justice, -and I shall not de liberately bring further disaster on him by revealing his identity. This man—wo will call him Iluy llger because that unlike bis name aa It I* mine—was very kind to me on that memorable night when I aroused him from hla sleep and In a few words of explanation told him of my plight He Invited me Inside, prepared some food for me and, putting on a dress ing gown, came and eat by me while I aft, listening with the greatest Inter est to the short account of my adven ture*. lie could apeak English fluently, and he Interrupted me several time* to fl preaa hla aympathy for the ■ufferingi I had endured. "O'Brien," he said, after I had con cluded my story, "I am going to help you. It may take several dsys—per haps aa long as two weeks—but event ually we will provide the meana to en able yon to get to Holland." I thanked him a thousand times and told blm that I didn't know bow I could possibly repay blm. "Don't think of that," be replied; "the satisfaction of knowing that I have aided In placing one mora victim of the Huns beyond their power to harm will more than repay me for all the risk I shall run In helping you. You'd better turn In now, O'Brien, and In the morning 111 tell yon what I plan to do." As I removed my clothes and noticed that my knees were still swollen to twice their normal alee, that my left ankle was black and bine from the wrench I had given it when I Jumped from the train and that my ribs showed through my aklfc, I realized what a lot I had been through. As a matter of fact, I could not have weighed more than one hundred and flfty pounds at that time, whereas 1 had tipped the acalea at on* hundred and ninety when I waa with my squadron In Trance. I lost no time In getting Into bed and still leaa In getting to sleep. I don't know what I dreamed of that nlgfet, but I had plenty of time to go through the experiences of my whole life, for when I waa arouaed by a knock on the door and Huyllgcr en tered In response to my Invitation to enter, be told me that it waa nearly noon I I bad slept for almost twelve hours. I cannot say that the thought did not run through my head that per haps after all I was living In a fool'* paradise, and that when Huyllger re appeared It would be with a couple ot German soldiers behind him, but I dis missed such misgivings summarily, re alizing that I was doing Huyllger an lajustlce to let such things enter my head even for an Instant I had no right to doubt his sincerity and It would do me no good to entertain such suspicious. If he was going to prove treacherous to me. I was powerless any way to cope with him. In a few moments my host reap peared with a tray containing my breakfast I don't suppose I shall ever forget *.',iat meal. It consisted of a cup of coffee—real coffee, not the kind I had had at Courtral —several siloes ot bread, some hot potatoes and a dish of scrambled eggs. Every mouthful of that meal tasted Ilk* angel-food to me and Huyllger sat on the edge of the bed and watchml me enjoying It, at the same time out lining the plans he had made for my escape. ■ . In brief, the scheme was to conceal me In a convent until conditions were ripe for me to make my way to the border. In the meanwhile I was to be dressed In the garb of a priest, and when the time came for me to leave the city I was to pretend that I was a Spanish sailor, because I could speak a little Spanish, which. I bad picked up on the coast. To attempt to play the part of a Belgian would become In creasingly difficult, he pointed out, and would bring Inevitable disaster In the event that I was called upon to st>eak. Huyllger said I would be given suf ficient money to bribe the German guards at the Dutch frontier, and he assured me that everything would work out according to schedule. "Yours Is not tho first case, O'Brien, we have handled aucceasfully," he de- Outlining the Plana He Had Made fer My I soap*. from an English merchant who had escaped from a German detention camp and came to me for assistance and whom I bad been able to get through the line*. Hie message telling me of hi* safe arrival in Rotterdam came to me In an Indirect way, of course, but the fact that the plans we had made carried through without mishap makes me feel that we ought to be able to do aa mnch for you." I told Huyllger I was ready to follow bis Instruction* snd would do any thing he suggested. "I want to rejoin my squadron ns soon aa I possibly can," I told lilin, "but I realise that It will take a cer tln length of time for you to make the neceaaary arrangements, and I will be as patient ss I can." The flrst thing to do, Huyllger told me, waa to prepare a passport. He hud a blank one and It waa a comparatively almple matter to flll In the spaces, us ing a genuine paaaport which Huyllger poss-**cd as a aample of the band writing of the passport clerk. My oc cupation waa entered aa that of a sailor. My birthplace we gave aa Rpaln, and we put my age at thirty. Aa a matter of fact, at that time I could easily have penned for Ihlrty flvo, but we figured that with proper food and s decent place to sleep at night, I could soon regain my nortnnl appearance, and tho passport would have to serve me, perhaps, for several weeka to come. Filling In the blank (pare* on the pa import waa, aa I have aiild, a com paratively eaay matter, but that did not begin to All the bill. Every genu ine passport bore an official rubber atamp, aomethlng like an elaborate postmark, and I waa at n loaa to know hor to get ovi-r that difficulty. Fortunately, however, Huyllgor had half of a rubber atamp which hail evi dently been thrown away by the Oer mon*. and he planned to construct the other Jialf out of Uie cork from a wine bottle. He waa very aklllful with a penknife, and although he apollt a •core or more of cork a before he suc ceeded In getting anything like the result he waa after, pte finlahed article waa far better than bur moat sanguine expectation*. Indeed, after we had pare«l It over here and there, anil re moved whatever Imperfection* oor re peated teat disclosed, we bad a atamp which made an impression ao cloaely reaembllng the original that without a magnifying glaaa, we wore aure, It would have been Itnpoaalble to tell that It waa a counterfeit. Huyllger procured a camera and took a photograph of me to paate on the paaiport In the place provided for that purpoae, and we then had n peaa port which waa entirely aatlafactory to both of ua and would, wo hoped, prove equally ao to our friends the Huns. It had taken two days to fix up the passport. In the meanwhile Iluyllger Informed me that he had changed hla plana about the convent and that In atead he would take me to an empty bouse, where I could remain In safety nntll be told me It was advlaable for me to proceed to the frontier. To bo continued.
