the corner came one OF the police
men. l at once 'froze.' I was about
Is feet above sea-level and not 20
yards from him. He stood unde-
cided with his legs well apart, peer
ing from side to side in every direc-
ton to see where | had gone, very
anxious and shifty. ! was equally
anxious but immovable.
Presently he drew nearer to the
ladder, and, strangely enough, l felt
safer when he came below me, and
he passed almost under me, looking
in at the doOrways of the unfinished
building. Then he doubtfully turned
and looked back at a shed behind
him. thinking l might have gone in
there. and finally started off, and ran
on round the next corner of the
building. The moment he disap-
peared 1 finished the rest OF my run
I'D the ladder and safely reached the
platform of the scaffolding.
"The workmen were not yet upon
the building, so l had the whole place
to myself. My first act was TO look
for another ladder as a line or es-
cane IN e4=e of being chased. 1t Is
alwavs we'll 10 have a back door TO
your hiding place; that is one OF the
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1915-05-26

essentials in scouting.
Presently | found a short ladder
leading from my platform to the
stage below, but it did not go TO the
ground. Peering quietly over the
scaffolding | saw my friend the
policeman below, still at fault
blessed my stars that he was no
tracker and therefore had not seen
my footmarks leading TO the foot Of
the ladder.
Then 1 proceeded to take notes CT
my surroundings and TO gather IL
formation. Judging from the design,
Of the building, its great chimneys,
etc, was actually on the new power
house. From my post had an ex-
cellent view over the dOckyard, and
within 100 feet of me were the ex-
cayation works of the new dock,
whose dimensions l could easily esti-
mate.
Il whipped out my prismatic COM
pass and quickly took the bearings
of two conspicuous points on the
neighboring hills, and so fixed the
position which could be marked on a
large scale map for purposes Of she'll
ing the place if desired.
Meantime my pursuer had called
the other policeman to him, and they
were 10 close Capitalization immedi-
ately below me, where l could watch
them through a crack between two
of the foOtbOards. They had evident
ly come to the conclusion that / was
not in the pOwer-hOuse. as the in
terror was fully open 10 view. and
they had had a good look into it
Their next step was to examine the
goods shed close by. which was evil
IDENTIFY full Of building lumber. etc.
"One man went into II while the
other remained outside on the line
that l should probably take for es-
Gaping, that is, between il and the
boundary wall leading 10 the gate
way. BY accident rather than by de-
sign he stood close 10 the foot OF my
ladder, and this cut OF my retreat

as it has really the outline Of forti-
fication. More deceptive and ingeni-
Gus sketches are therefore used by
the General. One of these is a but
terfly very cleverly drawn which
shows the plans of a fortress to the
person who can read its secret and
marks both the position and power
Of its guns. The marks on the wings
between the lines mean nothing, but
those on the lines show the nature
and size Of the guns and can be read
by the keys which are left at home
in England.
The outer boundary or the fortress
is represented by a very innocent
looking line drawn round the body
Of the butterfly which could hardly
arouse the suspicion of anybody. The
guns are represented by spots on the
line on the wings outside this draw
ing of the fortress, but their real
position in the fortress is at the
spot where the line ends inside the
outline already mentioned. The
spots on the line indicate, according
to their size and shape, fortress guns,
field guns and machine guns.
When taking this sketch the Cen
eral was armed with a large butter
fly net and had all the air Of an ar
dent entOmOlogist.
Another clever way of sketching
Notifications is represented by the
picture of an ivy leaf. The veins on
the ivy leaf show the outline of the
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1915-05-26

fort as it is seen when one is look
ing west while the point of the leaf
indicates the north. There are a
number of large patches on the leaf.
Each Of these shows where a big
gun is mounted if a vein points to
the patch. 1t would be impossible
for an investigator not in the secret
o understand the meaning of this
plan, because there are so many
patches in IL that mean nothing. The
harmless looking shaded areas on the
leaf, which seem so natural, repre-
sent dead ground" or areas where
an assailant Of the fortress would
find shelter from fire. Various small
Ter spots indicate machine guns.
In another case a curious picture
of a dula moth concealed the details
of an important fertilization. In
this instance the General carefully
sketched the fOrtifcaSion first and
then put in frills TO make il look
like a moth The head represents
fort on a hill. The eyes are two
field guns. The spot where a nose
would be is a machine gun. The
hairs around the head are wire en-
tanglements. The space between
the legs is an enclosure for trans
port animals. The ends Of the fore
legs are each a machine gun and
the twig on which they rest is a
bridge.
This sketch" says General Bad
en-Powell, was made giving all the
particulars that wanted. | then de-

We argued that If once we were inside
any sentry or detective would natur-
ally suppose We had leave 70 be
there.
I'VE tried the idea. and s5worked
splendidly. We walked calmly
through camps and past sentries
without a tremor and not a question
was asked US. Once within this
line we were able 10 get directly
into the fort, and there we strolled
along as If the place belonged 10 US.
There is a certain amount OF art
required in making yourself not ap-
pear to be a stranger in a new place.
In the minor matter Of hat, boots,
and necktie it Is well TO wear those
bought in the country you are visit
ing, otherwise your British-made ar
ticles are sure 10 attract the atten-
ton Of watChful policeman.
In the matter Of demeanoP-you be-
have as a native would do who was
accustomed 10 being there.
Walking into strange fort must
be carried out much on the same
lines as you would adopt IN enter

Sir Robert has some interesting
notes on the uses of freezing" when
being pursued. To freeze" means
to become absolutely immovable
when close to a pursuing object. If
one freezes" we'll enough one can
escape the sharpest eyes. In one
story he tells how he examined a
new German dock yard and although
pursued by two policemen, escaped
under their noses by freezing"
1.-The knowledge of this fact came
in useful on one of my investigating
tours" he writes Inside a great
high wall lay a dockyard in which, it
was rumored, a new power house
was being erected, and possibly a
dry dock was in course Of prepare
ton. 1t was early morning; the
gates were just opened; the work
men were beginning to arrive, and
several carts of materials were wait
ing to come in. SEEKING the oppor-
tunity of the gates being open, l

thus busy they were leaving thegats

turning along the scaffolding until ]

down this on to the lower story and,
