14 " Outwitting By Lieutenant Pat O'Brien (Copyright, 1918, by Pat Alva O'Brien.) As it finally turn mc much as 1 journeyed through Bel gium, and that was -he scarcity cf dogs. Apparently most of them have been taken by the Germans nd 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 Jer tainly have stirred them up in pass ing through backyards, as 1 some times did when 1 was making a short cut. . One night as 1 came out of a yard it was so pitch dark 1 could not see ten feet ahead of me and 1 was rUht in the back of a little village, al though 1 did not know it. X crawled along, fearing I might come to a i rossroads. at which there would in all probability be a German sentry. Twenty Feet from a Hun! My precaution served me in goodi stead, for 1 had como out in thej main street of a village and within i twenty feet of me, sitting on some bricks where they were building a i little store. 1 could see the dim out line of a German with a spiked hel met! I could not cross the street and the only thing to do was to back track. It meant making a long detour and losing two hours of precious time and effort, but there was no help for it, so I plodded wearily hack, cursing the Huns at every step. The next night while crossing.! some fields I came to a road. It wasj one of the main roads of Belgium' and was paved with cobble stones, j On these roads you can hear a I wagon or horse about a mile or two I away. I listened intently before Ij moved ahead, and hearing nothing) concluded that the way was clear. As I emerged from the field and got my first glimpse of the road, I got the shock of my life! In eltner direction, as far as I could see, the road was lined with German sol diers! "What they were doing in that part of Belgium I did not know | but you can be mighty sure I didn't! spend any time trying to find out. j Again it was necessary to change my course and lose a certain amountj 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 had at first. At this period of my adventure, if a day or night passed without its thrill I began to feel almost disap- The Value of Eyesight Faulty vision —an annoyance ■ and serious handicap elimi-j rates many of the joys of life.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, pointed, but such disappointments were rather rare. one evening: as I was about to swim a canal about two hundred feet wide. 1 suddenly noticed about one hundred yards away a canal boat moored to the side. Another Najrmv I\scape It was at a sort of out-of-the-way place, and I wondered what the canal boat had stopped for. 1 crawled up to see. As I neared the boat five men were leaving it and 1 noticed them cross over into the fields. At a safe distance, I fol lowed tliem and they had not gone very far before I saw what they were after. They were committing the cotnmon but heinous crime of stealing potatoes! Without the 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. Knowing the canal hands would probably take their time in the fields. 1 climbed up the stern of the boat leisurely and without any par ticular pains to conceal myself. Just as my head appeared above the stern of the boat 1 saw silhouetted against the sky the dreaded outline of a Ger man soldier—spiked helmet and all. A chill ran down my spine as I dropped to the bank of the canol and slunk away. Evidently the sentry had not seen me, or, if he had, he had probably figured that I was one of the foraging party. But I real ized that it wouldn't pay in future to take anything for granted. CHAPTER X. Kxpcrlences in Belgium I think that one of the worst things I had to contend with ln ir*y journey through Belgium was the number of small ditches. They in tercepted me at every half mile or so. sometimes more frequently. The canals and the big rivers I could swim. Of course. I got soaked to the skin every time I did it, but I .vas becoming hardened to that. These little ditches, however, were too narrow to swim and too wide to jump. They had 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 had been ln decent shape, but with a bad ankle and in the weak ened 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 suffered 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 landed In about two feet of water and three feet more of mud. Gettinn out of that mess was quite a job. The water was too dirty and too scanty to enable me to wash off the mud with which I was covered and it was too wet to scrape off. X Just had to wait until it dried and scrape it off then.
