Every uniform that came in the door
gave me cause to worry until | was
sure it was not coming in my direction.
/ don't suppose there was a single sol
der who came in the door whom !
didn't follow to his seat-with my
eyes,.
Just before they lowered the lights,
two German officers entered. They
stood at the door for a moment look
ing the place over. Then they made a
Decline in my direction and I must
confess my heart started to beat a
little faster. I hoped that they would
find another seat before they came to
my vicinity, but they were getting
carer and nearer and I realized with
q sickening sensation that they were
headed directly for the two seats at
my table. and that was indeed the
case.
These two seats were in front of the
table facing the stage and except when
the officers would be eating or drink
ing their backs were toward me, and
there was considerable consolation in

ficer with three Red Cross nurses.
That was the only time / had ever
seen a German nurse, for when l was
in the hospital 1 had seen only men
orderlies. Nurses didn't work so a
the first line trenches.
The German soldiers at the different
tables were very quiet and orderly.
They drank book beer and ~conversed
among themselves, but there was no
hilarity OF rough-housing of any kind.
AS 1 sat there, within arms reach
of those German officers and realized
what they would have given to know
what a chance they had to capture an
escaped British officer, 1 could hardly
help smiling to myself, but when I
thought of the big risk l was taking,
more or less unnecessarily, I began to
wonder whether 1 had not acted fool
ishly in undertaking it.
Nevertheless, the evening passed off
u%neventfully and when the show was
over I mixed with the crowd and dis
appeared, feeling very proud of myself
and with a good deal more confidence
than 1 had enjoyed at the start.
I had passed a night which will live
in my life as long as I live. The bill
of fare and program and a throw

the attraction which was to be pre-
scented the following week which was
handed to me as 1 came out, I still
have and they are among the most
valued souvenirs Of my adventure.

came in, but no one, except those who
sat at my own table, would notice me
unless they deliberately turned around
to look.
The place began to fill up rapidly.
Every second person who came in the
place seemed to me to be a German
soldier, but when they were seated at
the tables and / got q chance later on
to make a rough count, 1 found that
in all there were not more than a hun
dred soldiers in the place and there
must have been several hundred civil
ianS.
The first people to sit at my table
were a Belgian and his wife. The Bel
gian sat next to me and his wife next
to him. / was hoping that other civil
ians would occupy the remaining two
seats at my table, because l did not
relish the idea of having to sit through
the show with German soldiers within
a few feet of me. That would certainly
have spoiled my pleasure for the even

Travelled. Safety in these coming
encies would depend largely upon the
calmness l displayed. 1t wouldn't do
to get all excited at the mere sight of
a spiked helmet. The Belgians, l had
noticed, while careful to obey the
orders of the Huns, showed no partic-
ular fear of them, and it seemed to
me the sooner / cultivated the same
feeling of indifference the better l
would be able to carry off the part l
was playing.
For this reason 1 made up my mind
then and there that, officers or no Of
icers, l would go to that show that
night and sit it through no matter
what happened. While people may
think that l had decided unwisely be-
cause of the unnecessary risk involved
In the adventure, it occurred to me
that perhaps after all that theater was
about one of the safest places l could
attend because that was about the last
place Germans would expect to find a
fugitive English officer in even II they
were searching for me.
AS SUOu as cN6LliIS Nuu1CB hSA
I started out for the theatre. l fixed
myself up as we'll as possible. l had
on a fairly decent pair of pants which
Huyliger had given me and l used a
clean handkerchief as a collar.
With my hair brushed up and my
beard trimmed as neatly as possible
with a pair of rusty scissors which l
had found in the house, while my ap-
pearance was not exactly that of q
Beau Brummel, I don't think I looked
much worse than the average Belgian.
In these days the average Belgian is
very poorly dressed at best.
1 can't say I had no misgivings as I
made my way to the theatre; GER
tainly 1 was going there more for dis
cipline than pleasure, but I had made
up my mind that 1 was going there to
see it through.
garden, for it was as much n as the
other, was on the side of the building
and was reached by way of an alley
which ran alongside. Near the door
was a ticket-seller's booth, but as this
was n of the free nights there was
no one in the booth.
l marched slowly down the alley
initiating as best l could the indiffer-
ent gait of the Belgians, and when l
entered the theater ~endeavored to act
as though 1 had been there many times
before. A hasty survey of the layout
of the place was sufficient to enable
me to select my seat. 1t was early and
there were not more than half a dozen
people in the place at that time, so
that I had my choice.
There was a raised platform, per-
haps two feet high, all around the
walls of the place except at the end
where the stage was located. On this
platform tables were arranged and
there were tables on the floor proper
as well.
1 decided promptly that the safest
place for me was as far back as pos
sible, where l would not be in the line
of vision of others in back Of me Ac-
cordingly 1 slouched owe to a table
on the platform directly opposite the
stage and l took the seat against the
wall. The whole place was now in
front Of me. 1 could see everything
that was going on and everyone who
