 When I escaped from the train I still had the Bavarian cap of bright red in my pocket and wore it for many nights, but I took great care that no one saw it. It also had proven very useful when swimming rivers. for l carried my map and a few other be- iongings in it and I had fully made up my mind to bring it home as a souvenir. But the farther I went the heavier my extra clothing became, so l was compelled to discard even the cap. l knew that it would be q tell-tale mark if simply threw it away, so one night after swimming a river, dug a hole in the soft mud on the bank and buried it, too, with con- siderably less ceremony than my fly ing mittens had received perhaps so that was the end of my Bavarian hat
 My experience at the Belgian's house whetted my appetite for more food and I figured that what had been done once could be done again
