"Outwitting the Hun"
By Pat O'Brien :
From page S
It was perhaps threi days later tbftt
I planned to search another house for
further clothes. Entering Belgian
houses at night Is anything but a safe
proposition, because their families are
large and sometimes aa many ss seven
or eight sleep In single room, .The
barn Is usually connected with the
house proper, and there was always
the danger ot disturbing some dumb
animal even If the Inmates of the
house were not aroused.
Frequently I took chance ' of
searching a back yard at night In the
hope of finding food scraps, but my
success In that direction waa so slight
that I soon, decided that It waant
worth the risk and 1 continued to
live on raw vegetables that I could
pick with safety la the fields and the
occasional meal that I waa able to get
from the BeMau peasant la the day
time. Nevertheless I was determined to
get more la the way of clothing and
when night came I picked out a house
that looked as though it might furnish
me with what I wanted. It was a
moonlight night and If I could get In
the barn I would have a fair chance of
finding my way around by the moon
light which would enter the windows.
The barn adjoined the main part of
the house, but I groped around very
carefully and soon I touched some
thing hanging on a peg. . I dlCn't
know what it was, bat I confiscated
It and carried it out into the fields.
There In the moonlight I examined
my booty and found that It waa an old
coat It was too short for an over
coat and too long for an ordinary
coat, but nevertheless I made use of
It. It had probably been an overcoat
for the Belgian who had worn It
Some day latee I got n scarf from
a Belgian peasant and with this equip
ment I was able to conceal- my uni
form entirely.
Later on, however, I decided that It
was too dangerous to keep the uniform
on anyway and, when, night came I
dug a hole and buried it
I never realUed until I had to part
with It Just how much I thought of
that. uniform. It had been with me
through hard trials and 1 felt as If I
were abandoning a'-friend when I
parted with It I was tempted to keep
the wings off the tunic, bat thought
that would be a dangerous concession
to sentiment In the event that I waa
ever captured. It waa the only dis
tinction I had left, as I had given
the Royal Flying Corps 'badges and
the stars of my rank to the German
flying officers aa souvenirs, but I felt
that It was safer to discard It As
It finally turned out through all my
subsequent experiences, my escape
would never have been Jeopardised
had I kept my uniform but of course,
I had no Idea what was In store for
me.
There was one thing which surprised
me very much as I Journeyed through
Belgium and that was the scarcity of
dogs. Apparently most of them had
been taken by the Germans and what
are left are beasts of burden who are
too- tired at night to bark or bother
Intruders. This was a mighty good
thing for me, for I would certainly
have stirred them up in? passing
through back-yards as I sometimes
did when I was making a short cut
One night as I came out of a yard
it was so pitch dark that I could not
see ten feet ahead of me and I was
right In the back of s little village,
although I did not know it I crawled
along fearing I might come to s cross
roads at which there would In all
probability be a German sentry.
My precaution served me in good
steod for had I come out In the main
street of the village and within twenty
feet of me, sitting on some bricks
where they were building a little store,
I could see the dim outline of s Ger
man spiked helmet 1 '
I could not cross the street and the
only thing to do was to back track.
It meant making s long detour and
losing two hours of precious time and
effort but there was no help for it,
so I plodded wearily back, cursing
the Huns at every step.
The next night while crossing some
fields I came to a road. It was one of
the main roads of Belgium and was
paved with cobble stones. On these
roads you can' hear a wagon or horse
about a mile or two away. I listened
Intently before I moved ahead and
hearing nothing concluded that the
way was clear.
As I emerged from the field snd got
my first glimpse of the road, I got the
shock of my life I In either direction.
as far as I could see, the road was
lined with German soldiers I What
they were doing In that part of Bel-
glum I did not know, bnt you can be
mighty sure I didn't spend any time
trying to find out
Again It was necessary to change
my course and lose a certain amount
of ground, but by this time I had be
come fairly well reconciled to these
reverses and they did not depress me
as much' as they did at first,

wtaoram snowing Hew O'lrlsn Lest
Precious Hours by Swimming a Riv
er and Later Finding That He Was
en the Wrong Side and Had to Swim
Back, ,
One evening as I was about to swim
a canal about two hundred feet wide,
I suddenly noticed about ons hundred
yards away a canal boat moored to
the aid.
It waa at a sort of out-of-the-way
place and I wondered what the canal
boat had stopped for. I crawled up
to see. As I n eared the boat five men
were leaving It and I noticed them
cros over Into the fields. At a . ear
distance I followed stem and they had
not gon very far before I aaw what
they were after. They were commit
ting the common but heinous crlro of
stealing potatoes !
Without th means to cook them,
potatoes didn't Interest me a bit and
I thought that the boat Itself would
probably yield me more than the po
tato patch, t Knowing the canal-hand
would probably take their time in th
field. I climbed up the. tern of th
boat leisurely and without any partic
ular plan to conceal myself. Just as
my head appeared above the stern of
th boat I ssw silhouetted against
th sky, th dread outline ot a Ger
man soldier spiked helmet and all!
A chill ran down my spin ss I
dropped to the bank of the canal and
slunk away. Evidently the sentry bad
not seen me or. If he had, h had prob
ably figured that I was on of the
foraging party, but I realised that It
wouldn't pa 1 futur to take any'
thing for granted.
- CHAPTER X
Experience In Belgium.
I think that one of the worst things
I had to contend with in my Journey
through Belgium was th number of
mall ditches. They Intercepted me
at every half mile or so, sometimes
mor frequently. - Th canals and th

got soaked to the skin every time I
did It but I was becoming hardened
to that
These little ditches, towever, were
too narrow to swim and too wide to
Jump. They bad perhaps two feet of
water in them and three feet of mud,
and It was almost invariably a case of
wading through. Some of them, no
doubt, I could have Jumped If I bad
been In decent shape, but with a bad
ankle and In the weakened condition
in which I was, It was almost out of
the question. , "
One night I came to a ditch about
eight or nine feet wide. I thought I
was strong enough to Jump It and It
was worth trying as the discomfort I
saffered after wading these ditches
was considerable. Taking a long run,
I Jumped as hard as I Could, but I
missed It by four or five Inches and
