ing on nothing but cabbage, sugar

and figured that two hundred and

journey ahead of me.
In several parts of this country l had
to travel through forests of young pine
trees about twelve feet high. They
were very close together and looked
almost as If they had been set out.

In the nine days / had covered per-

Nine Days in Luxembourg.

Nine Days in Luxembourg.
l was now heading northwest and /
thought that by keeping that course
| would get out of Luxembourg and
into Belgium, where l expected to be
a little better off, because the people
of Luxembourg were practically the
same as Germans.
One of the experiences / had in Lux
embourg which 1 shall never forget
occurred the first day that ! spent
there. had travelled all night and !
was feeling very weak. / came to a
small wood with plenty Of low under
brush, and picked out thick clump
of brushes which was not in line with
any paths, crawled in and lay down
to spend the day.
The. sun could just reach me through
an opening In the trees above and !
took off all my clothes except my shirt
In the sun. AS the sun moved moved
the clothes around correspondingly, be-
cause tired as / was I could take only
catnaps.
That afternoon | awoke from one
of these maps with start. There were
voices not dozen feet from me! My
first impulse was to jump to my feet
and sell my life as dearly as / could,
but on second thought / decided to
look before l leapt. Peeping through
the underbrush i could just discern two
men calmly chopplng down tree, and
conversing as they worked. l thanked
my lucky stars that had not jumped
up on my first impulse, for was ap-
parently quite safe as long as | lay
where / was.
1t then occurred to me that If the
tree upon which they were working
should happen to fall in my direction
it would crush me to DEATH 1t was
tall enough TO reach me and big enough
to kill me If 1t landed in my direction
and as / could only see the heads of
the men who we're chopping it down, ]
was unable to tell which way they
planned to have 1t fall.
. There was this much in my favor;
the chances of the tree falling in just
my direction were not very great and
there was more than an even chance
that the men would be wise enough to
fell it so that it would not because IL
it landed In the brushes the task of
trimming the branches from the trunk
would be so much harder
But even without this feeling Of Sc
curity, there was really nothing else
could do but wait and see what fate
had in store for me. lay there watch
ing the top of the tree for more than
an hour. Time and time again saw II

direction, and it was all could do to
