Shaffer's Last Flight (Continued from yesterday) It was amusing to see that Ger •n's face as the news sunk In. Of wjurse, he would not believe it, but fust the same he was not quite sure Just how much truth might be in it. Thus I had my first bit of fun in fchptivity. The news that there was ftn American in town drew curious fimdiers from every quarter, and %>on I had a crowd around me that %-ould have made the monkey-house hi the zoo green with envy. I was halting outside an officers' barracks or bureau at the time, and seeing how curious everyone was my old fear came back that the time was not far oft when some souvenir hunter would just naturally ruin me. It was not so much for the dec orations, I could get others when I returned to France —whenever that would be. It was of a gold watch and equally valuable gold ring I was thinking. So when the red tape was finished and I was 'once more on the road with a soldier es cort, I lost no time in getting every thing valuable and prqcious—to me —out of sight, letting only the fly ing-badge of the French on my coat .thinking that surely they would not take that. I had another guess coming, for after jolting along in another bureau where the same doggone questions Were asked me. It was a lieutenant this time that put the questions and he spoke English better than I did. Unfor tunately 1 had a letter in my pocket with my address on it. It did not tell him much, except the number of my escadrille, and a lot of good that would do him. What the Bodies in every bureau were anxious to discover was the name of the town near which my, escadrille was stationed. 1 refused ilatly to give that information, al though they fried ail kinds of clever ways to make me unwittingly give it away. Incidentally, it was this same bald-headed, English-speaking Hun that took my French dying badge and fur suit. Fortunately 1 had taken my Lafayette pin oil and put it in my pocket else that would have gone the way of the others sureiy. Little to Eat Having hud nothing to eat except that small piece of black bread in the morning 1 was beginning to feel hungry and made another demand for something to eat. Surely, said he, 1 would be given something imme diately. Knowing little of the char acter of the Boche at.that time I felt sure that now 1 would get something that would stick to the ribs. No such luck, for all that X got was a bowl of coffee, which was not even hot. As for the taste — well, you have no doubt heard the expression "It tastes like wood." li had the expressioti thoroughly im pressed on my palate and 1 did not like it at all. Naturally, that did not satisfy any hunger and to make matters worse it was growing cold, •and 1 had no fur suit anymore. It 1 had known what was ahead of me that night surely I should ha-ve shivered in anticipation, for just at twilight two strapping big Huns capie in, got the papers, orders and directions, took me under their wing by marching me downstairs, and first tying a rope around my leg, ordered me to climb aboard a two seated carriage. They must have thought an avia tor and an American was apretty for midable combination because X had two guards and a driver with me, besides being tied by the leg. Even at that they were taking no chances, foe one sat beside me with a cocked automatic ready in his hand, and a signiticant motion with said gun let me know what to expect if I started anything. The other sat on the front seat holding the rope attached i to my leg tightly in one hand and a cocked automatic in the. other. With ail thtrf preparation for bat tle and sudden death we started on the journey. Even "though X began shivering with cold before we had gone a half mile, X could not but lielp admire the scenery, for a full moon shining down on the fields and forests made quite a picture. That the beauty of the scene was lost on the three Boches was soon appar ent, for suddenly a few whisperer words passed between the drivei and the guard on the front seat. 'XV driver slowed up the least bit, an the next moment the guard had step ped swiftly into the road and witn upraised revolver was. crying some comand in his awful lingo. What he was hollering at I made out in an instant as three dark forms rose from the roadside where they had lain flat on our approach. Why X don't know, for the guard went through their papers and found them all satisfactory. I'll hand it to that guard, he sure had one eagle eye. Even while he was putting questions to the three men he had raised up so abruptly his roving, eye detected three other ambling across a field nearby. Apparently thetr appearance did not satisfy him, fbr he was oft like a shot again with revolver and voice upraised. His bellowing cry of "Halt!" "Halt!" seemed to have little effect how ever, for the men continued to walk slowly on. But as he drew nearer and his anger at being disobeyed made his voice louder, two of the men turned and came toward him. In a Hurry The third man, however, turned off at an angle and increased his pace. So did. my meddling guard.

Said man, seeing he was so honored immedi- ' ately dropped his sack of belongings and legged it for all he was worth, the guard opening fire with his re volver. . I still think that man was a Frenchman and am glad to say he got away, although the Boche guard got his sack. After all this excite ment we proceeded calmly along to our destination, with only a twitch on the fope to see if I was still on the other end of it to vary the mon otony. Oh yes, I was still there, being too cold and hungry to think of escaping. Besides, I had no idea which direction our lines' were . even though we seemed mighty' close. In fact, during most of that drive I had a hunch I was being taken up to the front lines and made to work digging trenches and carry ing ammunition, which shows how ignorant I was of prisoners' rights, for a sergeant and an aviator to boot does not have to work." Anyway, there I was with my thoughts and with all the fire-works going oft ahead of me, what else was I to think. Star shells were . dug up all over the place and. searchlights played oVer . all the heavens, meeting and crossing each other in every conceivable direction and number. You can well believe all this made a beautiful spectacle, and even cold and hungry as I was I ■ enjoyed it.. What those Boches thought of it as they sat there wrapped up in their heavy woolen overcoats and gloves is hard to say, for they only spoke several times and since all their tAlk reminded me of a grunting hog I made noth ing of .it. Once as a particularly brilliant star shell shot into the sky one of them vouchsafed the infor mation that it was French, and im mediately thinking he had said too much he jerked the rope to see if I was still on it. The Beg Pulling Honestly, they pulled that rope so often that I was beginning to feel like a chicken being taken to mar ket. Talk about getting your leg 'pulled. It wasn't at all a pleasant feeling I assure you, all journeys have an end though, and we finally arrived at a fairly large village, where I was taken to another bu reau, and questioned and searched as per usual. Mudh to my surprise I was allowed to keep my watch, several photos precious to me, also my Lafayette flying ' badge. All papers of a military nature natural ly were taken. After-this ceremony, which was conducted with . three men and four revolvers, I was promptly put-in prison. But before the door closed for the night I de manded something to eat and got the usual answer—coffee. It was supposed to be hot, too. Having disposed of this, with far from christian thoughts of my enemies, I began investigations as a place to sleep. This did not last long, since there was no light. Finding it .was a simple matter, for I had not taken two steps before I fell over it. One lone blanket was all I discovered and not being used to a plank bed did not pass a very pleasant night. In the morning we had coffee again, this time actually hot, but with the ;ame wooden taste as before, also I IKFNNF Saturday specials!

There was one window in ray bare rooirn which opened on a little court. In this court I was soon surprised to see several men dressed In the blue of France • walking around. Some were shaving and others were washing. On demand ing permission I was soon among them swapping experiences, won dering where wo went from here and how soon we would starve to death. Not having washed for a long time, I hunted me some water and a basin but that was all, for I soon discovered that soap and towels were not served' to prisoners. If you were lucky enough to have a handkerchief you c.ould use it for a towel,'as for the . soap, one could buy It from the Boche guards if ope were rich enough. Having a little money I lost no time in brib ing a guard for this valuable article. As for the price, I've bought my best girl (I wonder who's kissing her now?) ' a box of bon-bons many tlmeb for less, 11.50 was ail I paid for that small chunk of soap and it . was doggone poor stuff at that. 1 They sold razors too, but deciding that keeping myself beautiful for the Boche was not a necessity, I did not invest. The .promenade finished and in my bare prison again I had nothing to do but wait for dinrjer. A New Trick A Boche aviator made the wait shorter by calling and endeavoring I to have a heart to. heart talk with me. Getting the drift immediately I began using my imagination and surprised myself by the ease with which I could lie without batting an eye. Both of us being flyers, na turally we knew much in oommon about the game? so he had more ■ different questions to ask than the men in the bureaus. Just the same, lje was not above trying to get the i • | 1 *There is one remedy I always keep in tlie> M 1 house, and that is Dr. Caldwell's §yrup Pep- ■ \ sin.

CALDWELL, 459 WASHINGTON STREET. NONTICELLO. ILLINOIS TIA RRISBURG TELEQRXPH name of the town near which my escadrllle was letationed. All along the line they had been trying by every conceivable oral trick to worm this out of me. Only this bird went about it in a different way. He sure was one smooth talker, and his French was excellent, much better than used by my comrades. Said he: '*' "Now'that you are a prisoner, natur&lly you would like to have your friends and parents know that you are-, safe and have not been killecLjinfthe tumble: so If you will your name and address one of ouf planes will drop a message to tls*effect when they pass over on a photo mission." And he thought I would fall for that! Of course, it was a little hard on you, mother, but I stuck to my guns and would not tell. Hav ing failed there he tried another trick. This time he wanted to know whether I flew over a certain city often, that he named. The city was some 20 miles from m>* esca drille's camp, perhaps less, so I cautiously answered that I had flown over it several times, and then with a little smile remarked that I had also flown over Paris, Rheims and Chalons several times. So that did not get htm anywhere. It seemed an aviator from, an esca drille in the same group as mine, on being taken prisoner had given the name of a town some 30 miles from his escadrllle when asked where he was situated. This name was sprung on me, and that's the only time the Boche thought I was lying. Actually the blank expres sion on my face was natural and my negative answer the truth, for I had never heard the name before. The Boche- laughed quite heartily and was quite sure that I had lied and the other aviator had spoken truthfully. That fact tickled me, even If my stomach was beginning to get acquainted with my back bone. It looked as if the "Ananias Club" was increasing. Being in a good cause, however, my conscience gave me nary a twinge.
