Sold everywhere. Adv. The second day that wo were In the regular camp the Germans strung barbed wire all around our barracks. They told us wc had a case of blnck typhus among us. This was nothing mora nor less than a bluff, for not one of us hud typhus, but they put up the wire, nevertheless, and we were not allowed to go out. One day when I was loafing around our barracks door nnd not having any thing particularly Important to do, I packed a pice hard snowbnll and limit ed It neatly behind .the ear ot n little sentry not far away. When he looked around he did not blow his whistle but began hunting for tho thrower. This was strange In n German sentry and I thought- ho must be pretty good stuff. mien ho looked around, however, all ho saw was a man staggering around as If. he wero drunk. Tho man was the ono who had done the throwing, all right, but the sentry could not be sure of it, for surely no man would stay out In the open nnd Invite accidents llko that But still, who hai done It? So 1 Just kept stnggerlug around, nnd tho sentry enrae np to me nnd looked mo over pretty hard. Then I thought for the first time that things might go hnrd on me, but I figured that If I quit the play nctlng It would be all over. So I daggered right up to the sentry nnd looked nt him drunk only, expecting every moment to get one from the bayonet. But he was so surprised thnt nil ho could do was stare. So I stared buck, pretending thnt I saw two of him, and otherwise acting foolish. Then I guess he realized for the first time that the chances of anybody being drunk In thnt camp were small nt least for the prisoners. Ho was rubbing his car all the time, but finally the thought seeped through the Ivory and he began to laugh. I laughed, too, and the first thing you know he had me doing It again thnt Is, the Imitation. One snowball was enough, I figured. I used to talk to him quite often after that. We had no particular lovo for each other, but ho was gamer than the other sentries, nnd he did not call mo schwelnhund every time he saw me, so we got on very well together. His name must have been Schwartz, I guess, but it sounded like "Swatts" to me, so Swatts he was, and I was "Chink" to him, as everybody else called me that One day he asked me if I could speak French, and I said yes. Italian; yes. Russian; yes. No matter what language he might have mentioned I would have said yes, because I could smell something in the wind, and I was curious. Then he told me thnt If I went to the hospital and worked mere, i migni get Dctter meals ana would not have to go so far for them, and that my knowing all the languages I said I did would help me a greut ways toward gettlpg the Job. Evidently he had been told to get a man for tho place; because ho ap pointed me to it then nnd there. lie put me to work right away. We went over to one of tho barracks, where a case of sickness hod been reported, and found that the Invalid was a big Barbadoes negro named Jim, a fire man from the Voltaire. At ono time Jim roust, have, weighed 250 uounds. Gut by this time he" was ubout two pounds lighter than a straw hat, but still black and full of pep. Light as he was, I was no "white hope," and it won all I could do to carry lilra to the hospital. Swatts kept right ulong be- mna me, and every time I would stop to rest, be would poke me with a broom the only broom I saw In Ger manyand laugh and point to bis ear. Then I thought it was a frame-up and that he was getting oven with me, but 1. was In for it then, and the best I could dp was to go through with It But I was all In when wo reached the hospital. The Anything I saw when we got in the door was another negro. also from Barbadoes, and as tall and thin as Jim had onco been short nnd fat This black boy and I made a great, team but J never knew, what I fils uniiiQ was. 1 always called liTm .ICute, bocnuso night nittl day ho wuh whistling tho old song, "ICute, Knto, Sleet Me ut tho Garden gntc," or words to that effect. I luivo wnked tip many n night nnd hoard that whistle Just about at tho some place tin when I hud fallen asteep. It would not have been so bud If he had known nil of It. I took Swatts' broom and denned up, and then naked where the coal or wood was. This got it grent laugh. It was quite humorous to tho men who had shivered there for week, maybe, but to mo It was about m funny ns u cry for help. I got wood though, be fore I hnd been there long. Thero was a great big cupboard thnt looked more llko u small house, built against the wull of the hospltu1 barracks lu one corner of tho room, raid not fur from the stove.- Knle was the only patient able to bo on his feet, so I thought hu would have to be my chief cook nnd bottle washer for a while; and, besides, there was some thing nbout him that mude him look pretty vuluiible. I hud not recognized his whistling yet, so Slim looked to be the right immo for htm. 'Slim, what's that big cupboard for?" "How'd I know? Nuthln' In It." "Slim, thnt would make a lino box for coal or wood, wouldn't It?" "Um, Wlinr de coul an' wood?" "I'm going out and tako obsorvn' tlons, Slim. Take the wheel whllo I'm gone, and keep your eye peeled for U-boats." So I sneaked out the door and begun looking around. If you look at the sketch I have mnde, It will not tako you long to see that next to us was a vacated ltusluti r barracks. Ami It did not take mo' much longer to see It. too. Back to the lwspltnl and Slim. "Slim, what barracks "are next to UR?" "Russian burrucks, only dey ain't dere now. Been sick." "And you mean to tell mo you don't know where to get wood?" "Sick men been In dem burrucks." "Sick men lu-ic, aren't there? Let's go." Thnt did tho trick. Tho block boy would watch from the hospital win dows until ho saw the coast was clear. then wo would slip Into the barracks next door, and he would watch again. When there was no hontry neur enough to hear us, crash I nnd out would come a dividing board from the bunks. When wo hud un armful apiece, nnd hud broken them up to tho right lengths, all wo needed wns u lit tlo more watching, and then back to the hospital and tho big cupboard, loiter on, our men told mo they used to watch tho smoke that injured from the hospital chimney ull tho tlmo und wonder where on earth wo got tho wood. We got the same kind of food In tho hospital that was served In tho other barracks, and I would not huvo had any moro than I used to, except that sometimes some of the twenty-six pa tients could not cat their share, and then, of course, It was mine. One day, though, we all hadvxtm rations. Two Russian doctors came to visit us euch day, and onco they were fool ish enough, or kind enough, to ask if we hud received our rations wo had received them curlier than usuul and they were finished nt the time. Of course, I said no, so they ordered tho Russian In tho kitchen to deliver twenty-eight rations to us, which wns not quite three loaves of breud. Wo were that much ahead thut day, but It would not work when I tried the trick again. One day a German doctor came to the hospital barracks. Ho would not touch uuythlng while ho was there not even open tho door. All of tho patients hud llttlu curds attached to their beds charts of their condition. When the Germun wunted to see these charts the Itusshyi doctors had to hold them for him. I was having a great tlmo at tho hospital, wrecking the barracks next door each day for wood, along with ICute, nnd getting n little more food somc'Jmes, and was always nlco and warm. I thought myself quite a pet Compared to what I hud been up against, It seemed like reul comfort. But the moro food I got the more I wanted. And It was food thut brought me down, after all. Across from us was a barracks In which there wero English ofllcers, and somehow It seemed to me thut they must have had a drug. Every once In a whllo I saw what looked like vege tables and bags of something that was a dead ringer for brown flour. So I told Slim, or Kate, as I was calling him by then, and with him on guurd, I sneaked out , After two or three folso starts, I got over our barbed wire and their barbed wire, and in through a window, Thero I saw carrots I And graham flour I I took all I could carry, to divide, up with Knte, mid then started eating, so as not to v-aMo anything, It wuh certainly some feast tlio only thing beslile.1 mud bread and hurley coffee and "shadow" honp thut 1 hud to eut In Goimuiiy. Then I stinted limit to the hospital. I got over their limbed wire nil right, mid Kuto gave mo thu go-ulicnd for" our entanglements, but Just us I wan going over them u sentry nabbed me. At llrst I thought Kuto hud turned traitor, becuuso wo hud hud u llttlu argument u short time be fore. But later on 1 figured Hint ho would not have ilouu a tilclc llko that, and besides, he know 1 was bringing him something to eat. So the sentry must Imvo moulted up without Kuto seeing liltii. Who got the carrots mid gra ham Hour thnt I was carrying I do not know. The sentries booted mo all thu way buck to my old barracks. WATER DEVELOPMENT VALUE SEEN ON DESCHUTES FOREST H.

CHAPTER XXIII. Despair and Freedom. Whllo I was working at tho hos pital conditions at my old burrucks bud boon getting worse anil worse. Very few of the men weru absolutely right In the heud, I guess, and utmost .all hud given up hope of ever getting out nllve. '1 hough they put up u good front to tho IIiiiih, they really did not cure n grent deul what happened to them. The only thing to think about won the minute they wero llxlng In.. The day I cuuie hack two English- I men, who hud suddenly gone mud, commenced to tight euch other. ltwun line most terrtuiu ngtit i-nuvo ever I seen. It was some time before tho jrest of us could luuko them quit, be cause at llrst wo did not know they wore crazy. When wo hud (hem down, howuier, they were scratched mid bit ten mid pounded from heud to foot. Both ot them bled from the nose nil thut night, mid toward morning ono of them became sane for a few min utes mid then died. Tho other was tnkeu uwuy by tho Germans, still crazy. Ailothor tlmo nn Australian cmne Into our burrucks mid very seriously told us thut he hud u drag with the German olllcors mid thnt ho hud been to dinner with them, mid hnd bud tur key, potatoes, coffee, butter, eggs, sugar In his coffee, and nil the luxuries you could think of. Wo Just sat and stnred at him. It seemeil luiosslblo thut any of our own men would have thu gull to torture us like thut, mid yet wc could not possibly bellevu thut It had really happened. Flnnlly, ono fellow could not stand It any longer. He was nothing but skin nnd bones, but ho grubbed a dividing board mid thero wero Just two wallops: tho board hit the Australian's head nnd the head hit tho floor. Then half n dozen moro pounced onto him and gavu blm a real licking. When ho camo to ho had forgotten all about tho wonderful dinner ho did not have. Not long after this tho Russian doc tors proved to the Germans thut thero wns no blnck typhus In our barracks and wo wero allowed the freedom of the enmp except thnt wo could not visit the Russian barracks. That was no hardship to mo nor to the rest of us, except ono chnp from tho Cambrian Itunge, who had n special pal among tho Russlnnn that ho wanted to see. And, of course, when It wus verbotcn, he wunted to see him all the more. A day or two nftrr tho order I was standing outside thu burrucks door when I snw this fellow come out with n dividing hoard In his hand. I thought ha was going to smash somebody with it, so I stood by. But ho stooped over and Jammed ono end of tho board against tho threshold of the door, scratched tho ground with thu further end of tho board and measured ngnln. Ho kept this up, length by length, In thu direction of the Russian hnrnicks. Tho sentry In tho yard stopped and stared at lilro, but tho fellow kept right on, paying no attention to any body. Pretty soon ho was right by tho sentry's feet and I thought uriy mlnuto the sentry would give him tho butt, but ho Just stared n whllo nnd let him pass. That lad measured tho wholo dlstunco to tho Russian burrocks, went Inside, stayed a whllo nnd calmly trplledjtpck with Jhe board under his arm, ""Wlien bo renclicil our barracks again ho told us he hnd found a vino mine. What he hnd found wan some thing not so unusual a bonehended German. There was a' lot of bamboo near the Russian barracks nnd the Russians made baskets out of It and turned them In to the Germans. For this they got all tho good Jobs In the kitchen and had a fine chance to get more to eat But they were treated llko dogs that is, all except the few Cossacks that were in tho bunch. The Huns knew that a Cossack never forgets and will get revenge for the slightest mis treatment, even If It means his death. I have seen sentries turn aside from the beat they wero walking and got out of tho way when they saw a Cossack coming. Thero wero very fow Coss acks there, however. I do not think they let themselves get' cuptured very often. Wo had roll call every morning, of course, and were always mustered In front of our barracks, tho mlddlo of tho lino being right at tho barracks door. Sometimes when tho cold got too much for them, tho men nearest tho door would duck Into tho bar racks. Ah they left tho mules tho oilier men would closo up and this kept the lino even, with tho center still opposlto tho barracks door. Finally almost all of tho men would bo in tho barracks mid by tho tlmo tho roll was over not ono remained outqldo. This seemed to peevo tho German ofllcers a great deal, but they did not punish us for it until we bad been doing It POIITLAND, March 21!.

(From Thursday's Dally.) No more packages containing sol diers' equipment will bo received by tho Bond postntllce, Acting Post- master Hudson announced today. Ho has Just received ordem to this effect bnted on tho recently enacted law pormlttlug men discharged from tho service to retain their uniforms. For scvcrnF dnys I hnd noticed thnt someone else answered for two men who hml disappeared; ut lenst I bud not noon them for mhiio Ume. I did not think much ithnut It, or nsk any questions, mid I did not hear anyone else talk nbout it, but 1 was pretty sure tho two men, a Russian mid a Britisher, had escaped. But they were marked present at roll rnll and nil accounted for. Rvcrythlng went along very well until ono day when the name "Fontaine" got by without being an swered. Fontaine wns a French Are mnn from the Cumbrian Range nnd thnt was the llrst tlmo ho hnd not been present Wo- snw whut was coming and wo began to get pretty soro nt Fontaine for not telling us, so wo could uiMwer for blm mid keep tlio escape covered. The minute they found our count one short they blow tho whistles and u squad of sentries rmiie up as an extra guurd. They rounted us ngnln, but by sneaking buck of the lino nnd closing up ngnln we mnde the count all right except for one man Fon taine. We would hnvn tried to cover up for him, except thnt they hnd al ready discovered his absence. " Now, we thought they will nnh Foutalno but will uot discover Uiu escape of thu others. But evidently they suspected some thing, for soon they brought over a petty officer from II. M. H. Nomad, who hud not been with us before, nnd forced blm to call 'the roil from tho mustering papers, whllo they watched the men ns they answered. Then they discovered thnt two moro besides Fon taine were missing and begun to aeurch for them.
