CHAPTER XII.
The Formed Passport.

For obvious reasons, l cannot de-
scribe the man to WHOM | applied for
the passport nor the house in which
he lived. While, in view of what sub
sequently happened, l would not be
very much concerned If he got into
trouble for having dealt with me, 1
realize that the hardshlps he had en-
dured in common with the other in
habltants of that conquered city may
possibly have distorted his idea of
right and justice. and 1 shall not de-
liberately bring further disaster on
him by revealing his identity.
This man--we will call him Huy-
Tiger because that is as unlike his
name as II is mine-was very kind TO
me on that memorable night when 1
aroused MIN from his sleep and In a
few words of explanation told him OF
my plight.
He invited me inside, prepared some
food for me and, putting on a dress
ing gown, came and sat By me while 1
ate. listening with the greatest inter

If was Ia get the passport and l
realized now how essential II was 10
have something to enable me to get
through the frequent examinations
10 which l expected TO be subjected.
While | was still debating in my
mind whether it was going 10 be pos
siblc for me to enter the city that
night, / saw in the distance what ap-
pearcd Ia be IN are light, and as l
nrarcd Ii that was what IL turned out
10 De. Beneath the light could
make ont the forms of three guards,
and the thought of having to go
through the same kind of ordeal that
/ had just experienced filled me with
miSgivings, Was il possible that l
could br fortunate enough 10 get by
again?
A. slowed mp n little, trying 10
uubc up my mind whit was best To- do,

the impression that / was one OF
their party. g.
AZ we approached the are 3glt, the
figures of those three soldiers with
their spiked helmets doomed before
like Il regiment. ] felt as il l were
walking right into the jaws of death.
Rather than 80 through what was in
store for me, | felt that | would in
finitely prefer TO be fighting again in
the air with those four desperate
Huns who had been the cause of my
present plight--then, mt least, l
would have chance To fight back,
hut now | had 10 risk my life and
take what was coming to me without
Il chance to strike Il blow in my own
defense.
! shall never forget my feelings as
we came within the shaft Of light pro-
jected by that great arc light nor the
faces of those three guards as we
passed by them. didn't look directly
mt them, but out of the corner Of my
eye 1 never missed q detail. l held
handkerchief up to my face us we
passed them and cndeavOred to lml-
tate the slouching gait of the Belgian
as well as / could, and apparently II
worked. We walked right by those
guards and they paid absolutely no
attention to US.
If ever fellow felt like going down
on his knees and praying ] did at that
moment. but it wouldn't have done TO
show my elation or gratitude in that
conspicuous way.
II was then well after II o'clock and
knew it would be unsafe for me TO
attempt to find q lodging place in the
city, and the only thing for me to do
was TO locate the man whose name the
Belgian had given me. lie had given
me- II good description Of the street
and had directed me how to get there,
Ind followed his instructions closely.
After walking the streets for about
half TN hour, l came upon one of the
landmarks my friend had described tn
me and ten minutes afterwards was
knocking at the door of the man who
was to make it possible for me to reach
HOlland--and liberty! At least, thai
was what hoped.

from an English merchant who had
escaped from Il German detention camp
and came to me for assistance and
whom 1 had been able to get through

his safe arrival In Rotterdam came to
me In an indirect way, Of course, but
the fact that the plans we had made
carried through without mlshap makes
me feel that we ought to be able to do
as much for you"
l told Huyliger was ready to follow
his instructions and would do any
thing he suggested.
