things that CALLED one-the thought
that I had the wherewithal in my
Jeans to buy all the food needed and
yet no way Of getting 1t without en-
dangering my liberty and life.
At night. however. after 1t was dark.
I would steal quietly out of the house
to see what could pick up In the way
Of food. By that time, of course. the
stores were closed. but secured the
streets, the alleys and the byways for
scraps Of food and occasionally got up
courage enough to appeal to Belgian
peasants whom l met on the streets,
and In that way I managed to keep
body and soul together.
1t was quite apparent to me. how
ever. that I was worse OF In the city
than had been in the fields, and I
decided to get out Of that house just
as soon as knew definitely that Huy-

ing further for me.
When ! was not at the keyhole of the

floor in room which looked out ON the

CHAPTER XIII.

Five Days In an Empty House.
The i've days spent In that house
seemed to me like I've years. During
an that time I had very little to eat
less in fact than had been getting In
the fields. did not feel it 80 bad. per
haps. because Of the fact that was NO
longer exposed to the other privations
which before had combined to make
my condition 20 wretched. now had Q
good place to sleep, at any rate. and
did not wake every half hour or 20 a.
] had been accustomed to do In the
fields and woods, and. Of course. my
hunger was not aggravated by the
physical exertions which had been
necessary before.
Nevertheless, perhaps because I had
more time now to think Of the hunger
pains which were gnawing at me all
the time. don't believe I was ever 70
miserable as I was at that period Of
my adventure. I felt 20 mean towards
the world I would have committed
murder, think. with very little prov
ocation.
German soldiers were passing the
house at all hours Of the day. I
watched them hour after hour from the
keyhole Of the doorOto have shown
myself at the window was out of the
question because the house In which
I was concealed was supposed to be
untenanted.
Because Of the fact that I was un-
able to speak either Flemish or Ger
man could not 60 out and buy food.
