Third Street THURSDAY EVENING, Shaffer's Last Flight < Continue,l From Yesterday) The red-headed Knglishman insisted on going along, and since I had no obejetion, he prepared himself for the wnlk. He made a queer looking fig ure when he finully iwas dressed, for the only thing he had of bis original uniform was his cap. A civilian over coat. a pair of Boche boots and civi lian trousers made up his costume. Outside of needing a pressing my uniform did not look "so bod. for de spite disinfection it still preserved the blue color of France, and fitting me, snugly, was not at all hard to*look at. bet. off by a jaunty fatigue cap of the same color. It caused no end of com ment as we strolled slowly down thee pretty streets of this historical cos mopolitan city for nearly every na tion under the stfn was represented, Frenchmen, Englishmen, Americans end Boche all mixed up with a plenti ful supply of civilians also. Many pretty girls were' among the latter, which you can bet I enjoyed looking at. Seeing those young and pretty gilts, surprised me considerable, be ! cause it didn't seem in tune with the | character of the Boche to let any thing so nice run around loose. How j ever, if they had not deported them | iolo Germany later lealned how they | had punished them in another way. j It seems the Boche required large | quantities of hair in the manufacture of ammunition. The horse or camel •supply soon was exhausted and they had no way of replenishing it. so they began using human hair! Na turally, the Belgians refused to have their hair cut off no matter what the ' penalty was for disobeying the com- I mand. Therefore, the Boche appolnt ed special men. who. armed with a \ sharp knife walked along the street 1 looking for some young girl to p'ass j by with a lot of hair hanging down j her back. Sneaking "up behind tliq un- I fortunate girl, he would sever with a single sweep her crowning glory and I he off almost before she could scream. J Such things were at an end now I however, and everybody rejoicing. The Belgians color of red, black and gold | were everywhere as well as the other j Allied colors, and the show windows I looked very beautiful in their bright ' and artistic trimmings. In fact, it l was hard to believe that this city j had been through four terrible years of war, as we' walked down that j street. Cal, IlrfMrd , It just goes to show how much vi j tality I had lost, that after fifteen minutes of slow walking. I was so j tried 1 could hardly stand up. It was ] chilly too, for it was late in Noveni j ber and I had no overcoat. Just the i same old light uniform and B. V. D.'g. When it came to a "chic" costume I I bad it all over the other prisoners, but the humble Poilu in his mud stained, iU'fltting uniform was at least warm, which I was n(Jt. Such being the case, I was back in the hos pital inside of half an hour to thaw ouj. and rest up. In the afternoon I went out again, but the Englishman would not go with me, saying that nobody paid any attention to him because of my dazzling costume. "Also." said he | "the civilians treat the French pris oners better than the English." These reasons made m e laugh aplenty, es pecially the first one. That the lat ter was true was beyond doubt, but 11)0 reason was quite simple. The French spoke the same language as the Belgians, a.nd could therefore make known their wants; but the poor Englishman was out of luck, un less he was good at the sign lan guage, for there were probably but half a dozen people in the whole city who could speak English. The Eng lishman did not consider these things at all, merely stating results and what he thought about them. Since h" would not go along I went alone. I t had a better time anyway, because j I had heaid many rumors of the kind | ness of the town's people. According |to rumor the prisoners could have . anything they wanted by simply ask- I ing for It. I promptly went about put ! ting this to the test by hunting up i the pretty blonde who had femember !ed my preference for honey • sand j wiches, she was delighited to see j me. and not only gave me her hand rnd a smile, but soup, cake and cof fee as well. The coffee had milk and sugar in too. In fact, she set the sugar bowl right in front of m e and told me to go to it. I fear I forgot my good manners after that, for that ! was the first sugar bowl I had seen • since leaving America. In Paris one doesn't serve himself you know.' He either brings his sugar with him or he don't get any. No Objections Pnsacil ! Xo objection was made, •when I dropped four cubes of sugar in my cup. Both mother and daughter c ntinueed to smile benignly on me. and when the soup and coffee was , finished, offered me some more. -Na j turslly, I soon had all I cou'd hold, and began to think of other things I ! needed besides sweets. There w3 a pair of blue woolen soclfs and • a { white hankerchief lying' in a neat j pile on the mantelpiece. Both of i these articles I was sadly in need of, , and looking at them meaningly I be -1 gan hunting for words with which to esk for them. But the little blonde interpreted the look correctly and gave them to me before I asked, say ing demurely as she did so.that 3lio i had knitted the aoeks herself. V|l hand it to her, she certainly did a good job, for not only were they warm but well made also.—Xo moth er, x have not them with me now. , They were woi;n out on the trip back Ito civilization. But that trip did 'not j come until sometime after that. Meanwhile things were getting worse and worse for we prisoners in the hospital, for suddenly one day the Boche up and left us. Not only did ; the Boche patients go but the hos j pital crew also, even down to the nurses and cook. And there we were—some 30 of us. most of the 30 being pretty qlck—■ vith nothing to eat, nobody to' take j care of us, and nowhere to go. This, : of course, did not affect me, for I was not very sick, but you can believe me J I lost no time in making arrange ; ments for other quarters. As for the others, the civilian population came in immediately and took charge. Na j turally, everything was in confusion and the Boche having left, the civi lians kept coming in flocks to take | things that they had left —behind. It was not a hospital in fact. Merely | a school which the Boche had turned I into a hospital by burning the desks for firewood, installing beds and | changing the maps for pictures of the ! Kaiser. The school had been under | the jurisdiction of the Catholic church ! therefore, as soon as the Boche left j a number of priests came in and took charge. In Need of Practice I One of these priests could speak : very good Knglish, and flnding me out immediately he began practicing on mo for all he was worth. I did net i mind so much at first, but' when he | continued the conversation for sev- I eral hours 1 began to get worried ns ; I had a date with the little blonde. I She had. promised tp give me some j more coffee with milk and sugar, I cuke and souf). and I wasn't passing | anything like that, up, believe me! I .lust about the time I was getting ready to go though several nuns catne ] in with gifts for a civilian who had been sick there a long, long time. Of course, they were eatable, and since he could not eat all the things he rc ' ceived he passed them out to the I other four of us in the room. Since they consisted of cakes, honey sand i wlehes and hard candy X stayed long enough to get my share. No, I didn't eat it. 1 was saving all my appetite l.for what the little blonde had prom | ised me, so I put these other gifts In my sack for future reference. And 1 then when I did get in the 'kitchen ! with the little blonde pouring, mo [ coffee and cream, and then sitting j | down opposite to watch me eat while she knitted sockp. I discovered that ! my appetite was way way beyond the I limitations of my stomach. So long had I been starved that my stomach had become accustomed to a little I , bit. And here 1 was with plenty and [ could not eat It. 1 had sense enough j to stop however, before I ate myself [sick. Other prisoners were not so HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH fortunate, for I heard many stories of prisoners who, after several years of the semi-starvation the Boche call living:, eat so much that the shock was so great, it killed them. Not So Fortunate Many others were not so fortunate . —I man in getting a square meal— j for when the armistice was signed I there were great numbers of pris- Friday Bargains In Conjunction With the Big Store Opens M" Store Opens at 8.30 A.M.
