I have the honor to decorate you

he at once oluntcored for any duties the
mllltarj authorities like to set him. nnd
was soon ln thu thick of things In the
words of an olllcer under whom ho served
he becamo "l'enfnnt du regiment"
T-lACKl-D DOWN TWO SPIES
It Is dlirtcult to get him to talk of hl
experiences, but one of his earliest feuta
was the tracking down and arrest of
two spies, and of this ho gives the fol
low ing account:
"One nftprnoon I saw n crowd of peo
ple, and found the had gathered nround
two men who had born arrested bv our
outpost. They claimed to bo priests, but
I noticed that the did not wear the
usual white collar and black cravat
(letting permission of the ofllcer who
made the nrrcsts, I questioned them, but
they replied, 'You had better run away
nnd play Instead of insulting two honest
men We ar priests on our way to tho
conicnt at Liege '
"The) were searched, and released, as
nothing incriminating was found. But I
was convinced that two spies weir being
allowed to escape, and so I got permis
sion of the lieutenant to follow them to
Liege.
".lumping on mv hike I overtook tho
two men neat itenori As soon ns they
snvv mo they ran Into a wood, but I went
lifter thorn nnd called out. 'In the name
of the law come out of tluit wood and
follow tho road, or I will fire on you'
"They nt once returned to the road
Just nt that moment two Lancers dashed
up In a motor car. The two 'priests' nt
once tried to itialto off, but t collared
them, and with the help of the Lnnclera
mido thetn get Into tho car Then we
drove to Liege nnd handed over our cap
tives to the authorities
"I told the chief of the police that
though these two men claimed to he
priests from Liege. I believed them to he
spies Then I took them to the convent,
to which they declared they belonged, nnd
asked the Superior whether he recognized
them as belonging to his community
The reply was In the negative
FALSE PRIESTS CONFESSED
"Taken again before tho authprlties,
the false priests at last confessed that
one of them was a German nnd the other
an Austrian On searching them care
fully there were found. In their boots,
plana of the forts and trenches They
were spies Indeed' The authorities there
upon gave me a written declaration that
I had arrested two spies, and I returned
to my regiment."
This was not Leysln's only capture of
spies Eaily In August a boy scout of
Liege told him that two Germans, posing
as Liege workmen, wero helping to dig a
trench.
"I nt once went to the spot." says Ley
sin, "and asked the men something In
Flemish, to which they replied In German.
No longer In doubt, I made a sign to two
sentiles. who at once marched them oft to
my lieutenant, to whom I explained evory.
thing. The men were searched, and
found to I.a ln possession of plans and
Bketches
"That same morning my lieutenant sent
me to n wood to see If our sentries wero
on the alert Going there on my cycle, I
i saw nmnng tno trees nrst a norse a neaa
and then a German helmet.
UHLAN TAKEN CAPTIVE
"I at once jumped off my hike, hid be
hind a bush, and fixed my bayonet When
tho Uhlan was only a jnrd or two from
me, seeing me prepared for an attack, he
raised his rifle as a sign of surrender. I
whistled for the sentries, who at once
captured and disarmed him.
"Overjoyed nt my prize, I put on the
German's helmet, and, mounting his
horse, rode into camp, followed by my
prisoner marching between two soldiers
with fixed bayonets. Thus I presented
mjself to my commander
'"What are joti going to do with that
horse'' he said.
'"It Is a present for jou, I replied."
In September Leysln was attached to
the staff of the Minister of War at Ant
werp. "During my service with the Mln
Istcr," he says, "I hae had to carry Im
portant messages In all directions, and
have penetrated the enemy's lines ten
times, each time returning Bafe and sound
after accomplishing my mission, Twice I
have been captured, but each time I man
aged to escape from the claws of the
enemy. In and around Antwerp I arrested
six spies, or wnom rour wero German offi
cers and the othor two Chilians.
"In one of my adventures amonir the
enemy I managed to enter Brussels, where
my parents live, and to embrace them, as
well as my brothers and sisters."
Besides the decoration from the Klmr.
this enterprising youth has received the
Cross of Merit from the Scouts of Belgium.
