A NIGHT of Destination,

During the first two days I spent

other things, of moving picture show
in town which he said might have a
chance to see while there.

said, land once you are inside you
would not be apt to be bothered by
anyone except when they come to take
your order for something to drink.
While there is no admission, patrons
are expected to cat or drink while en-
joying the pictures"
A day or two later, while walking
the streets at night in search for food,
l had passed this place and was very
much tempted to go in and spend a
few hours, particularly as it would
perhaps give me an opportunity to
buy something to eat, although l was

CHAPTER XIV.
Observations in a Belgian City.

One night shortly before 1 left this
city, our airmen raided the place. 1
didn't venture out of the house at the
would go out and see what damage
had been done.
When it became dark I left the
house accordingly and mixed with the
crowd, which consisted largely of Ger
mans. l went from one place to an
other to see what our "straffing" had
accomplished. Naturally 1 avoided
speaking to anyone. If a man or
woman appeared about to speak to me,
1 just turned my head and looked or
walked away in some other direction.
1 must have been taken for an I'M
social sort of individual q good many
times, and if 1 had encountered the
same person twice l suppose my con-
duct might have aroused suspicion.
1 had n first-class observation of the
damage that was really done by our
bombs. One bomb had landed very
near the main railroad station and if
it had been only thirty yards nearer
would have completely demolished it.
As the station was undoubtedly our
airman's objective I was very much
impressed with the accuracy of his
aim. II is by no means an easy thing
to hit a building from the air when
you are going at anywhere from fifty
to one hundred miles an hour and are
being shot at from beneath from a
dozen different angles-unless, Of
course, you are taking one of those |
chances and flying so low |
that you cannot very well miss your |
mark and the Huns can't very well |
miss you eitherl
/ walked by the station and mingled |
with the crowds which stood in the
entrances. They paid no more at
tention to me than they did TO real Bel
gians, and the fact that the lights
were all out in this city at night made
It impossible anyway for anyone to
get as good look at me as if it had
been light.
During the time that l was in this
,ity l suppose 1 wandered from one
md of it to the other. In one place,
where the German staff had its head
quarters, a huge German flag hung
rom the window, and 1 think / would
