that w4s necessary to bring me free dom.
 Then crawlcd under the bnrbcd wire feHce and hrcathed the free air of Holland. l had n" clear idea just where was and l didn't care much was oIt of the power of the Germans and that was enough. had walked perhaps hundred yards, when l re- memberfd the lace l had thrown over the barrier. and dangerous as I real ized the undertaking to he. I deter mined to walk back and get If. This necessitated my going back onto Bel gan soil again, but il seemed shame to leave the lac" there, and by "Xrr- Cising little cure figured l could get 1t easily enough
 When l came to the spot at which had made my way under the barbed wire, l put my ear to the ground and listened for the sentry. l heard him coming and lay prone on the ground till he had passed The fact that he might observe the hole in the ground or the ladder occurred to me as I lay there, and 1t seemed like an age be- fore he finally marched out of car shot. Then I went under the barbcd wire again retrieved the lace and once again made my way to Dutch terri tory.
 It does not take long to describe the events just referred to, but the incl dents themselves consumed several hours In all. To dig tn" hole must have taken me more than two hours and I had to stop frequently to hide while the sentry passed. Many times. indeed, l thought heard him coming and stopped my work and then dis covered that It was only my imngina- ton. I certainly suffered enough that night to last me n lifetime. With n German guard on one side, death from electrOCutiOn on the other, and starva ton staring me in the face, my plight was anything but comfortable one.
 It was on the 10th of November, 1917, when l got through the wire. had made my leap from the trnin on September 9th. Altogether. therefore, just seventytwo days had elapsed since I escaped from the Huns. If 1 live to be as old as Methusnleh. never expect to live through another sev- enty-two days so orammed full of in- cident and hazard and lucky escape.

I kept the ladder in the woods all day and could hardly walt until dark to make the supreme test. If It proved successful my troubles were over; within a few hours I would be In neutral country out of all danger. If I falled-I dismissed the idea sum- marlly. There was no use worrying about failure; the thing to do was to succeed.
 The few hours that were to pass before night came on seemed endless. but I utilized them to re-enforce my ladder, tying the rungs more securely with long grass which I picked in the woods.
 At last night came. and with my ladder in hand made for the barrier. In front of 1t there wns cleared space of about one hundred yards. which had been prepared to make the work of the guards easier In watch ing II.
 I waited in the nelghborhOod until heard the sentry pass the spot where was in hiding and then l hurried across the clearing, showed my ladder under the barbed wire and endeav- ored to follow it. My clothing caught in the wire, but l wrenched myself clear and crawlcd to the electric bar rier.
 My plan was to place the ladder against one of the posts, climb up to the top and then jump. There would be n fall of nine or ten feet, and l might possibly spruin an ankle or break my leg, but If that was all that stood between me and freedom wasn't going to stop to consider 1t.
 l put my ear to the ground to listen for the coming of the sentry. There was not sound. Eagerly but care fully I placed the ladder against the post and started up. Only few feet separated me from liberty, and my heart beat fast.
 I had climbed perhaps three rungs of my ladder when l became aware of an unlocked for difficulty.
 The ladder was slipping. Just as l took the next rung, the 1 ladder slipped, came in contact witi l the live wire, and the current passed through the wet sticks and Into my body. There was blue flash. my hold on the ladder relaxed and fel heavily to the ground unconscious.
 Of course, l had not received tho full force of the current or l woulC not now be here. l must have re mained unconscious for few mo ments but I came to Just in time tt
