Shaffer's Last Flight (Continued.* That I would be a prisoner of war there was nary a doubt, but whether k* live or dead one was the question. Khat it might be the latter never oc- Kurred to me, and If you could have the country under me you •Suld have reason for thinking 1 jlka conceited. Looking down, there nothing to be seen but shell jioles, barbwire and trenches, all *tsrs and shapes and no means glaced apart. Nevertheless. I hunted tie smoothest place possible, which happened to be straight ahead for tunately. and came gliding down, even now 1 think I could have land ed that plane without breaking any 4iing had I so desired, for my wheels were already running over the un even ground when the thought oc curred to me that when an aviator landed in enemy territory he had ex plicit orders to either burn or de stroy his plane in some other way. As I felt sure I would not have time to burn my plane I decided to smash it: a simple matter, indeed, considering the shellholes, barb-wire and trenches scattered around loose. All I had to do was throw her over on one wing and my speed and the rough ground would do the rest. No sooner had I thought of it than the thought was executed, as I pushed the "joy stick" clear over on one side and waited with a certain curiosity to see what would happen. It happened all right, and I had not long to watt. With a splintering of struts and stoys and a ripping of cloth £8 the lowered witig touched the ground, the airplane, buried its nose in the ground, crashing the landing gear, propellor and many things connected with the motor as it did so. After everything had stopped and apparently the smash ing process was finished, I un buckled. my belt and crawled out of the debris to see what kind of a job I had made. Considering the fact that it was the first time I had actually smashed a plane on pur pose 1 hadn't done so bad. for it's a cinch the job 1 made of that smash RPHI BRASSIERES worn in connection with W.

SKATES Sharpened While You Wait Federal Machine Shop Cranberry Street Between Second and Court Streets * * THURSDAY EVENING, would have pleased the most critical commander, for the only useful thing left about that plane was the tail and two guns, and judging from the trouble 1 had during the attack it's a question if one of them would j work. In Boclie Hands i I had not long to view my handi -1 work and feel sorry for myself, for a company of some dozen Boches came j running up. However, they were ' more awed than blood-thirsty, so I ; was not stuck with a bayonet : stripped of my valuables as I had | been led to think. Was I a Lieuten j ant they wanted to know, and that j mistake having been made many | times before in my case. I promptly answered "Yes." following it up with ! the command to be taken to their , commander immediately. The Kind Hun Naturally, this conversation was ' carried on mostly by signs, as none iof the soldiers understood either j English or French. Said commander [ seemed to be some distance away so 11 removed my fur shoes and gloves and gave them to a Boche to carry, which he kindly did. He's probably , still carrying them, for he never ! gave them back. As we walked between the fences of barb-wire, jumped trenches and : scouted around shell holes I had ample opportunity to see the balloon j I had uttacked and the manner in ! which it was protected. The balloon , was lying on the ground then, look ing for all the world like a sick cow as it rolled about in the breeze. At least I had the satisfaction of know -1 ing I had chased It down to the ground, and 1 hoped 1 had let day j light through in so many places that it would stay there awhile, but I was doomed to disappointment on this score, for soon that fat gasbag began to slowly rise for another look. It was then I noted its defenses; and t believe me. they were considerable. In fact, after I had seen all those machine-guns stationed around that , balloon 1 wondered how I had es -1 caped so long, for they were spaced a distance of 60 feet apart all around said balloon. ,A a balloon is quite an enormous object so when you stop to figure" It tip the number of machine-guns comes pretty high. ■ fscleas Information Oh. I was learning a lot of things ! all right, but It did not look as if | they were going to help me any, or ■ be o{ much use, for that I was jtead ed for a prison camp there was nary a doubt. And' then I saw the Boche plane. | or one of them, I had been looking for so vainly that morning. He came j quite low, flew around near the bal- ' loon, came diving down past us and flew oft in the direction of my' smashed plane as if, he was search ing for it or its remains. 1 hope he ! did not flnd.it, for i would not want ] to give a Boche any pleasure, how- ; ever small. Which Just reminds me' that the plane.l was flying that was number thirteen. Not that I ] am superstitious, you know, but It's | a foregone conclusion that my faith in that number has fallen consider able. Seeing the Boche fly past made me think of my comrades who were coming down behind me. and I looked aloft to see where they were. , High, high overhead I could easlly dlstlnguiah my red and white com rade as he circled and dodged through the shrapnel, no doubt try ing to see exactly what had hap pened to me. And then it occurred to me that the story he would carry back would not be a very pleasant one for your ears, for surely he had seen me "crash." and naturally he had no way of knowing whether 1 was killed or not. and 1 feared under the circumstances that it would look more like the former. Therefore, you can imagine I. continued into Germany a little more sorrowful. If that were possible. . j After walking for some five min utes the leg which had been graced by a bullet began to pain me con siderable, and thinking 1 was wounded after all I pulled up my far-lined suit and looked for the wound. There wasn't any, at least, there was no hole in the boot, look as I would. Just the same the pain was there, and seeing several wagons on ahead I began to limp and make signs to the Boche that walking for me was out of the question. I got away with it too. for they stopped the wagon and I climbed aboard and was soon at the commander's ofllce. Hungry There several Huns were found who epoke English. They wanted to know a lot of things I would not tell them, finally winding up by sending me ta a village Ave miles away with two soldiers as a body-guard. Hav ing found someone who could under stand what I said I made a holler foj something to eat. as I had left camp that morning with the usual aviator's breakfast of a cup of coffee and piece of bread. It being near 12 o'clock then I was getting mighty hungry, and though I had never eaten the much talked of black bread of the Hun, a chunk of choco late cake never tasted better than that thick 6lab of heavy, black bread smeared over with a thick layer of oleomargarine. From what I passed through—later, and saw of the character of the Boche. I was lucky indeed to get that piece of bread, for they are not in the habit of giving newly-taken prisoners any thing to eat, probably thinking that a people that have no need for "kul tur" have no need for bread either. And thus I walked along the road, no doubt cutting a strange figure all togged up in my big, baggy fly ing suit, with a chunk of bread In one hand and a small knife in the I other, for the bread was very tough, so to prevent some of the delicate dental work I chopped it up In small chunks, for I was quite sure anv broken teeth would get little atten tion from a Hun. Tll Talk My flying suit being very warmly 1 made I was soon sweating quite freely from the unaccustomed exer- j else, but fearing my badges and other 1 decoration would be taken as sou- j venirs X would not remove it, al though gay two guards tried to get! me to do so several times. Thero 1 was nothing doing. Having had one i lesson in the matter of my gloves and shoes 1 wasn't taking any more chances until I got farther into the lines where a few officers were about. No sireei! Thus I marched the five miles and the sun was dog gone hot, too, believe mei Having arrived at this second village I got so warm that removing that suit was a necessity. Its removal sure stag gered the beholders. They didn't know what kind of aninjal it was, and that I was an officer of high rank nary a soldier had a doubt Dressed as 1 was they could not be 1 blamed for the mjstake, as my light- | blue uniform was decorated with the "fourragere," the "crotx de guerre") with a palm, to say nothing of two i flying badges, the whole being set oft by a jaunty cap over one ear! and a pair of aviator's boots of red | leather. Discovering I was an' American several soldiers possessing I a little knowledge of English stepped t forward and wanted to- know how, many Americans there were on the i front. Naturally,. I did not know,! but that did not prevent me from! returning a prompt answer. Ac-1 cording to me, there were 3,000.000? Americans on the front and 30,000 ! landing, in France every week. As. an answer It was staggering. As a! lie it was a whopper; but I was get-! ting the habit from being asked so many questions I could not in Jusr I tice to the Allies answer correctly.

Thomas Hal lowed,' of Marlon, Tnd., Inherited dog is valueless, a liability rather ed yesterday aboard the transport Abangarez to become a permanent resident of America. He is called "Paree" by the Lieutenant, but re sponds to other names, especially of the polysyllabic sort, showing tlio influence of his early Teutonic train ing. This is the way Paree happened to give up German ownership: Lieut. Ilallowell was in the service of tho Royal Plying Corps in August, 1917. und had a duel with a German plane and downed it, killing the observer. The pilot of the machine was mor tally hurt when it hit the ground. Paree. the puppy, hopped out of the ruin uninjured. The pilot who spoke good English, with an American ac cent, said ho had many friends in America and had been employed in a bank in this city. Just before he died he bequeathed the dog .to Hal lowed. Lieut. Jack Devereaux, formerly a moving picture actor, also arrived by the Abangarez, with the distinc tion of having been gassed two days after the signing of the armistice. He was serving with a Kansas reg iment and while at Bras,'on the Ver dun front, he stepped into a gas trap left by the Germans and Wae knock ed out. He is still Buffering from the attack. Cpl. J. R. McQuigg. of Cleveland, attached to the il 2th Engineers, aald his division built roads under heavy fire, working almost constant ly with gas masks on. He has ner vous prostrntion, brought about chiefly through lack of sleep. He was on the fighting front until the signing of the armistice, when he suddenly realized that he needed rest, which was the way with many others who had been keeping up purely on their nerve. Major Charles Mason of this city, fought at Soissons and Chateau Thierry and sadly remarked that he had not received a scratch, maybe because the Huns did not have enough guns to hit him.
