His papers weSe Of the best quality.
They had beea secufel for him by
friends n. the perfume line IN Paris.
Then was picked up by the
French hussars," said Martin. Il
didn't mind had been arrested so
often that felt sort of peevish n !
wasn't pincheA occasionally. The
Frenchmen always turned me loose.
They're a good sort"
Martin was taken into the best
room of a little cottage near Amiens.
Just outside was an orchard. The
scent OF the fruit rotting on the
ground filled the air sentry in
brilliant red pants stood at the door
Of the cottage filling the immature
mind of the young son o. the cottage
with marvellous tales of war. Martin
will never forget the round eyes Of
the youth as he eazed on the red
painted hero. The perfume salesman
was turned over to a young lieuten-
ant. who spoke good English.
You'll have TO wait until the
colonel talks with you." said the lieu
| tenant ''But do not fear. I will
make II all right"
Martin didn't fear. He didn't know
that there was anv reason for fear.
| There he was-Martin, a salesman of
! irreproachable antecedents-and he
had been arrested so often that he re-
garded arrest as a part of the days
routine He sat down and watched
with interest what was going on.
French o~cers Are Busy.
"Mavbe there were a dozen French
officers there" said he. "all smoking
cigarettes and talking. I never did
hear so much talk They all talked
| at once. Put il looked as though they
we're getting things done. at that. Sol
diers would come in and report TO the
colonel and talk to all the other Off
GERS. And all the other officers would
talk to them. BY and by they got
/ their orders and went out. I don't
know anything about soldering. but
could see that that little old cottage
! was being run right"
Martin had cigars. 80 ne and the
lieutenant sat in q corner and smoked
| them The lieutenant eal1 ne WASN'T
anxious to bring Martin to the atten-
ton of the colonel until the cigars
were gone. No one pail any stten-
