I anwered tlmt nbe could exMct m and to meet me at certain pine on the road well known by nil patient, and oroe vlHltora, a "over the wall." I told her I would be on hand at aeven thirty. About acven-Mf'pcn I anenked my overcoat and rna out of the ward and hid It In th buNh. Then I told the nun, a particular friend of mine, that I wa going for a walk In the rune gar den, fib winked and I knew that ev erything wo nil right on her end. Oolngiut of the wurd, ! alipped Into th buidict and mnde for the wall.

With my wounded ahoulder It waa ImpoNDihle to shinny up the pipe. I could not yell for help, because the reacuer would want to know bow the accident happened, and 1 would be haled before - the commandant on charge. , I Just had to grin and bear It, with the forlorn hope that one of the returning night raider would pas hands bonds of their government They will be for them inspiring evi dence that their fathers planned sac rificed and invested for their sons' future.

I recognized Corporal Conk, an ardent "night raid er." II heard my "al---" and came to the edge of the hole.

I Immediately got under the covert and feigned sleep. Th matron atood talking In low tonea to the night none and I fell asleep. , When I awoke In the morning the night alster, an American, waa bending over me. An awful sight met my eye. The coverlet on the bed and the sheet were a mam of mud and green allme. She wnsa good sport all right, and hustled to get clean clothes and abeets so Unit no one would get wine, but "on her own" she gave me a good tongu Inkling but did not report tnc.
