Hawkins, ' who resigned hid position here as county agent to enter the military service, is at Camo Zacharv Taylor in Ken tucky in officers' training for the tteld Artillery. He says: "The work is very interesting and I like it fine. I have enjoyed ev ery day I have been in the camp and it certainly is a ureal life. The 'flu has been bad here but we are setting it under control." That he is still interested in Gil liam county is shown by the fact that he asked about the wheat crop, the county agent and many other tbing9 which are significant in an agricultural way. The county court met in regular ses sion this week but bad very little busi ness on the docket beside the bills. Mrs. W. E. Smith returned to her home in Portland Sundey.

Perhaps the poor have less to lose than the rich If their generosity or charity Is discovered by the Huns. There have been many Belgians shot for helping escaped prisoners and other fugitives, and It Is not to be wondered at that they are willing to take as few chances as possible. A man with a family, especially, does not feel jus tified In helping a stranger when he knows that he and his whole family may be shot or sent to prison for their pains. Although I suffered much from the attitude of Huyllger and his associate, I suppose I ought to hold no grudace against them In view of the unenviable predicament In which they are In themselves. CHAPTER XIII. Five Days 'in an Empty House. The five days I spent in that house seemed to me like five years. During all that time I had very little to eat less in fact than I had been getting In the fields. I did not feel It so bad, per haps, because of the fact that I was no longer exposed to the other privations which before had combined to make my condition so wretched. I now had good place to sleep, at any rate, and I did not wake every half hour or so as I had been accustomed to do in the fields and woods, and, of course, mv hunger was not aggravated by the physical exertions which ' had been necessary before. Nevertheless, perhaps because I had more time now to think of the hunger, pains which were gnawing at me all the time, I don't believe I was ever so miserable as I was at that period of my adventure. I felt so mean towards the world I would have committed murder, I think, with very little provocation. German soldiers were Dasslne the bouse at all hours of the Jay. I watched them hour after hour from thn keyhole of the door to have shown I myself at the window was out of the question because the bouse In which I was concealed was supposed to be untenanted. Because of the fact that I was un able to speak either Flemish or Ger man I could not go out and buy food. although I still had the money with which to do It That was one of the things that galled one the thought that I had the wherewithal In my jeans to buy all the food I needed and yet no way of getting It without en dangering my liberty and life. At night, however, after It was dark, I would steal quietly out of the bouse to see what I could pick up In the way of food. By that time, of course, the stores were closed, but I scoured the streets, the alleys and the byways for scraps of food and occasionally got ud Writes for Globe from California Camp A short letter from Garland Ferguson who is at Ft. McDowell saya in part: "I am alive and able to get around but if I get much fatter I won't be able to walk. Surely is a great place to take on flesh, good eats and all we want Have not done a thing since I came but eat and sleep. It is fine weather here, like summer all the time, and we have a ball game'every day. Bill Jensen in having a fine time. We hope to get out of this camp as soon as the quarantine is lifted, Several cases of "flu" here but hasn't bothered me yet. Send me the Globe." B. A. Hollen returned this morning from a short business trip to The Dalles. courage enough to appeal to Belgian peasants whom I met on the streets, and In that way I managed to keep body and soul together. It was quite apparent to me, how ever, that I was worse off In the city than I had been In the fields, and 1 decided to get out of that bouse Just aa soon as I knew definitely that Huy llger had made up his mind to do noth ing further for me. . When I was not at the keyhole of the door I spent moat of my day on the top floor In a room which looked out on the street. By keeping well away from the window I could see much of what was going on without being seen myself. In my restlessness, I used to walk back and forth In that room and I kept It up o constantly that I believe I must have worn a path In the floor. It was nine steps from one wall to the other, and as I had little else to amuse me I fig ured out one day after I had been pacing up and down for several hours Just how much distance I would have covered on my way to Holland If my footsteps had been taken In that direc tion Instead of Just up and down that old room. I was very much surprised to find that In three hours I crossed the room no less than 8.000 times and the distance covered was between nine and ten miles. It was not very grati fying to realise that after walking all that distance I wasn't a step nearer my goal than when I started, but I had to do something while waiting for Huy llger to help me, and pacing np and down was a natural outlet for my restlessness. While looking out of the top floor window one day, I noticed a cat on a window ledge of the house across the street I had a nice piece of a broken mirror which I had picked up In th bouse and I used It to amuse myself for an hour at a time shining It In the cat's eyes across the street At first the animal was annoyed by the refitc tlon and would move away, only to come back a few moments later. By and by, however. It seemed to get used to the glare and wouldn't budge no matter how strong the sunlight was. Playing with the cat In this way got me Into the habit of watching her comings and goings and was !ndl rectly the means of my getting food a day or two later at a time when I was so famished that I was ready to do almost anything to appease my hunger. It was about 7 o'clock In the even ing. I was expecting Huyllger at 8, but I hadn't the slightest hope that he would bring me food, as he had told me that he wouldn't take the risk of having food In his possession when calling on me. I was standing at the window In such a way that I could see what was going on In the street without being observed by those who passed by, when I noticed my friend, the cat, coming down the steps of the opposite house with something In his mouth. Without considering the risks I ran, I opened the front door, ran down the steps and across the street, and pounced on that cat before It could get away with Ms supper, for that, as I had Imagined,' was what I had seen In Its mouth. It turned out to be a piece of stewed rabbit, which I confis cated eagerly and took back with me to the bouse. Perhaps I felt a little sorry for the cat, but I certainly had no qualms about eating the animal's dinner. I was much too hungry to dwell upon niceties, and a piece of stewed rabbit was certainly too good for a cat to eat when a man was starving. I ate and enjoyed It and the Incident suggested to me a way In which I might possibly obtain food again when1 all other ave nues failed. That's the place for ME y ; F.VRR.
