This gracious act of magnanimity on the part of the "wronged wife" will go a long way toward disproving the tooth-and-flaw methods ascrib ed to women in their dealings with other. Since the exposure the repentant young woman has "swept continu ously." Doubtless she feels that fate—the world, circumstances, call it what you will—has treated her very cruelly. Very probably she does not blame herself; women of this type seldom face facts. It is always the outside influence that is wrong, with them, never the inside weakness. The culprit seems neither better nor worse than the usual undevel oped woman that linds herself in this kind of plight. She is reported *s saying: "When my husliand re turns from France I will dwell with him and him alone." But what of the husband—will he acquiesce in this arrangement ? He may feel that a woman who I'ouKr travel from Texas to New York to see him-sail for the battle fields of France, and immediate'y accept consola'ion from a man of lifty-tive, whom she describes as a "dear old bald-headed daddy." muv not represent his ideal as wife and mother. What Will The Husband Say ? Very naturally he may prefer to dwell alone rather than risk his hap piness in such precarious domestic ity. There is, also, the boy of three lo be considered. In all probability the soldier father may have some ideas about his upbringing; he may fe'el that the child's best develop ment can be assured under the care of this kind of mother.

SYNOPSIS Lieutenant O'Brien, in active service in France, was brought down behind the German lines in a fall of 8,000 feet. He escaped later, in Germany, by a bold leap from the window of a prison train going thirty miles an hour. Then came his extraordinary journey out of Germany, through Luxemburg and into Belgium. He traveled at night and rested in hiding during the day, surviving terrible hardships, swimming rivers when de lirious from hunger and exposure, liv ing like a hunted animal. In Bel gium one night a Flemish peasant di- I rects him to a man in a Belgian city, ! who can provide him with a passj I port. This man, called Huyliger, in i the story, makes a cleverly forged counterfeit passport in which O'Brien represented as a Spanish sailor. | O'Brien, the passport in bis posses- ; sion, is conducted at night by Huy liger to a deserted house and left ! there alone. During the five days he J scpent there, Huyliger ar.d two as sociates demand from him an im mense sum of money or the return or j the passport. O'Brien denes the t blackmailers, threatening to expose ; them to the Germans if they set the Germans on his track.. In the desert- j ed house he had many interesting ex periences. Five Pays In an Kmpty House While looking out j of that top floor ' window one day, I , -;•>< window lodge of the | J j house across the rliilMfcv '-I strept - 1 ha<i a p iece % ■ v | ~f broken mirror j which I had picked up In the house and , i I used to amuse myself for an hour i at a time shining it | 'Vx in the cat's eyes j across the street. At first the animal was annoyed j by the reflection and would move j 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 swings and was in directly 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 ap pease my hunger. It was about seven o'clock in the evening. 1 was expecting Huyliger, at eight, hut 1 hadn't the slightest j hope that he would bring me food, i as he told me that he wouldn't! take the risk of having food in hisj possession when calling on me. I was standing at the window in ; such a way that 1 could see what j was going on in the street without | being observed by those who passed ] by, when I noticed my friend, the j cat, coming down the steps of thej opposite house with something in hisj mouth. Without considering the risks I ran. I opened the front door, ran down the steps and across the street and pounced on the cat be-1 fore it could get away with its sup-! per, for that, as I had imagined, was j what 1 had seen in its mouth. It! turned out to be a piece of stewed j rabbit, which 1 confiscated eagerly j and took hack with me to the house. | Sorry to Rob the Cat Perhaps I felt a little sorry for the) cat, but I certainly had no other j 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 i starving. 1 ate it and enjoyed it I and the incident suggested to me a way in which I might possibly obtain food again when all other avenues failed. From my place of concealment I frequently saw huge carts being pushed through the streets gather ing potato peelings, refuse of cab bage and similar food remnants, which, in America, are considered garbage and destroyed. In Belgium they were using this "garbage" to make their bread out of, and while the idea may sound revolting to us. I the fact is that the Germans have brought these things down to such a science that the bread they make in this way is really very good to eat. I know it would have been like cake to me when I was in need of food; indeed, I would have eaten the "garbage" direct, let alone the bread. Although, as I have said, I suffer ed greatly from hunger while occu pying this house there were one or I two things 1 observed through the i keyhole or from the windows which | made me laugh and some of the in ! cidents that occurred during my vol j untary imprisonment were really | rather funny. From the keyhole I could see, for ! instance, a shop window on the other | side of the street, several houses i down the block. All day long Ger man soldiers would be passing in front of the house and I noticed that practically every one of them would stop in front of this store window and look in. Occasionally a soldier on duty bent tfould hurry past, but I think : nine out of ten of them were suffi ciently interested to spend at last j a minute, and some of them three or four minutes, gazing at whatever was being exhibited in that window, al though I noticed that it failed to at tract the Belgians. Sausages as Magnets I have a considerable streak of | •curiosity in me, and 1 couldn't help I wondering what it could be in that I window which almost without excep- j tion seemed to interest German sol- I diers but failed to hold the Belgians, and after conjuring my brains for al | while on the problem. I came to the j : conclusion that the shop must have | been a bookshop and the window contained German magazines, which, 1 naturally enough, woulrf be of the | greatest interest to the Germans but I of none to the Belgians. I At any rate, 1 resolved that as soon as night came I would go out and in vestigate the window. When I got i ; the answer I laughed so loud that 1 I • was afraid for the moment I must j I have attracted the attention of the j neighbors, but I couldn't help it. j The window was tilled with huge | quantities of sausage! The store was a butcher shop and one of the j principal things they sold, apparent- I ly, was sausage. The display they made, although it consisted merely l<)f quantities of sausages piled in/the l windows, certainly had plenty of "pulling" power. It "pulled" nine Germans out of ten out of their course and indirectly "pulled" me right across the street! ' The idea of those Germans being so interested in that window display [ as to stand in front of the window for two, three or four minutes at a time, however, certainly seemed fun ny to me. and when I got back to the| bouse I sat at the keyhole again and | found just as much interest as be | fore in watching the Germtuis stop I j in their tracks when they reached the window, even though I was now 1 ; aware of what the attraction was. l'ly-Catclilna; as a Sport One of my chief occupations dur- i ' ing these days was catching flies. I j I would catch a fly, put him in a | .! spider's web (there were plenty of I . them in the old house) and sit down for the spider to come down and get , him. But always I pictured myself in the same predicament and rescued ' the fly just as the spider was about grab him. Several times when things were , dull I was tempted to see the tragedy .' through, but perhaps the same provi j dence that guided me safely through j jail perils was guarding, too. the des- ! I tiny of those flies, for 1 always! jj weakened and the flies fiever did j 'j suffer from my lust for amusement. | I The house was well supplied with I ;: books—in fact, one of -the choicest ] ;! libraries I think I ever saw—but ;j they were all written either in Flem-j L ; ish or French. I could read no .Flemish and very little French. 1 ; j might have made a little headway with the latter, but the books all ' | seemed too deep for me and I gave ; I it up. I There was one thing, though, that ' ] I did read and reread from beginning "l to end; that was a New York Herald | i which must have arrived just about II the time war was declared. Several . j things in there interested me, and i particularly the baseball scores, • I which 1 studied with as much care ! as a real fan possibly could an up- I to-date score.
