The storage Of ice for summer use
has been practiced from the earliest
times. The Greeks, for instance, con-
structed icehouses hundreds Of years
before the Christian era, and we know
that Alexander the Great, when at
Pera, in India, had large pits dug and
filled In with snow, which was COW
cred over with layers Of leaves, Tha
ice or frozen snow was used as oos
casion required, both as an iced drink
itself and also to cool other drinks.
The Romans also enjoyed the luxury

improving upon Alexander's method,
had well-constructed vaulted cellars
in which they stored large blocks of
ice, filling up the interstices with
snow, SO that the whole formed a
solid block or small iceberg. France
followed this plan for ages. but 1t was
not until the end Of the sixteenth
century that the French people learn

1 was very much tempted to sleep
through the night. / knew, however,
that that would be bad precedent to
establish and l wouldn't give in.
I plugged YEARLY along and about
IL o'clock, after | had covered perhaps
four miles, sat down to rest for a
moment on shock of brush which
was sheltered from the drizzle some
what by other shocks which were
stacked there. 1t was daylight when
l awoke, and I found myself right in
a German backyard. You can imagine
that l lost no time in getting out of
that neighborhood and 1 made up my
mind right there and then that would
never give away to that tired feeling"
again.
In the daytime, in my hiding place,
wherever it happened to be, 1 had
plenty of opportunity to study my map,
and before very long l knew it almost
by heart. Unfortunately, however, it
did not show all the rivers and canals
which / encountered, and sometimes it
fooled me completely.
It must have been about the ninth
night that l crossed into Luxembourg,
but though this principality is officially
neutral, it offered me no safer q haven
than Belgium would The Huns have
violated the neutrality of both, and dis
covery would have been followed by
the same consequences as capture in
Germany proper.
In the nine days I had covered per-
haps seventy-fve miles, and was that
much nearer liberty, but the lack of
proper food, the constant wearing of
wet clothes, and the loss of sleep and
rest had reduced me to a very much
weakened condition. 1 doubted very
much whether l would be able to con-
tinue, but I plugged along.

served me for this purpose. Having
found such spot would drop down
and try to sleep. My overcoat was
my only covering, and that was usu-
ally soaked through, either from the
rain or from swimming.
The only sleep / got during those
days was from exhaustion, and it usu-
ally came to me towards dusk when
it was time for me to start again.

pleasure 1 had foregone in the past as
a result of my habits in that partic-
ular, because my sufferings would GER
tainly have been intensified now if, In
addition to lack of food and rest
had had to endure a craving for to-
bacco.

chose to do so. l thought at this time
that | was suffering about the worst
hardships any human being could ever
be called upon to endure, but l was
later to find that the best of my jour-
ney was made along about this time.
There were plenty of vegetables, even
though they were raw, and these were
much better than the things 1 was

We frequently hear of men who have
lived for certain number of days on
their own resources in the woods just

and will still work. My advice to some
of those nature seekers is that If in
the future they wish to make a real
good record, try the little countries Of
Luxembourg and Belgium with a slice
of Germany thrown in.

ence of mine | made many mistakes

That night made perhaps the same
distance, but became very hungry and
thirsty before the night was over.
For the next six days I still figured
that l was in Germany, and l was liv-
ing on nothing but cabbage, sugar
beets and an occasional carrot, always
in the raw state just as 1 got them
out of the fields. The water I drank
was often very rank. One night l lay
in a cabbage patch for an hour tapping
the dew from the leaves with my
tongue!
During this period 1 realized that I

ards. was in the enemys country and
my uniform would have been a dead
give-away. Anyone who captured me
or who gave information from which
my capture resulted might have been
sure of a handsome reward. / knew
that it was necessary for me to make
progress as fast as possible, but the
main consideration was to keep out of
sight, even if it took me a year to get
to Holland, which was my objective.
From my map / estimated that l was
about thirty-five miles from Strassburg
when l made my leap from the train,
and if / could travel in a straight line
I had perhaps one hundred and fifty
miles to travel. AS it was, however,
I was compelled to make many detours,
and / figured that two hundred and
fifty miles was nearer the extent of the
journey ahead of me.
In several parts of this country I 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.
They proved to be a serious obstacle
to me because, could not see the stars
through them and l was relying upon
the heaven to guide me to freedom. /

I believed it rained every night and
day while 1 was making my way
through Germany and Luxembourg.
My invariable program at this stage
of my journey was to travel steadily
all night until about six in the morn
ing, when l would commence looking
around for a place wherein to hide
during the day. Low bushes or woods

CHAPTER VIII,
Nine Days in Luxembourg.

[ 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 l shall never forget
occurred the first day that / spent
there. I had travelled all night and 1
was feeling very weak. / came to a
small wood with plenty of low under
brush, and picked out a 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 I
took off all my clothes except my shirt
and hung them on the bushes to dry
in the sun. AS the sun moved I moved
the clothes around correspondingly, be-
cause tired as l was / could take only
catnaps.
That afternoon I awoke from one
of these maps with a start. There were
voices not a dozen feet from me! My
first impulse was to jump to my feet
| and sell my life as dearly as I couio,
but on second thought 1 decided to
look before l leapt. Peeping through
the underbrush I could just discern two
men calmly chopping down tree, and
conVersing as they worked. l thanked
my lucky stars that had not jumped
up on my first impulse, for 1 was APP
parently quite safe as long as l lay
where l 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 it landed in my direction
and as I could only see the heads of
the men who were chopping it down,
was unable to tell which way they
planned to have it fall.
There was this much in my favor;
| the chances of the tree falling in just
my direction were not very great and
that the men would be wise enough to
fell it SO that it would not, because if
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 l saw it
sway and fancied it was coming my
direction, and it was all 1 could do to
keep my place, but moment later l
would hear the crash of the mems
axes, and I knew that my Imagination
had played me trick.
I was musing on the sorry plight I
was in-weak, nearly starving to death,
a refugee in a hostile country, and
waiting patiently to see which way
tree was going to fall, when there
came loud crack, and I saw the top
of the tree sway and fall almost op-
posite to the place where / lay! / had
guessed right.
Later l heard some children's voices
and again peering through the under
brush l saw that they had brought the
men their lunch. You can't realize how
felt to see them eating their lunch
SO near at hand, and to know that,
hungry as was, could have none of
it. was getting tempted to go boldly
up to them and take chance Of get

At about this time bliSters began to
appear on my legs and my knees
swelled. In addition was pretty well
convinced that had lost the sight Of
my left eye. l hadn't seen a thing out
of it since my leap from the train.
When I imagine the villainous ap-
pearance must have presented at this
time-my unhealed wounds. eighteen
days growth of beard and general
haggard and unkept visage-I think
the fear felt about meeting strangers
was perhaps unwarranted. The
chances are they would have been in
finitely more scared than /!
AS it was, l was nearly out of Lux

the morning and / was travelling along

justing my shoelace, figuring that If
the stranger turned into my path he
would probably pass right by me. AS
luck would have it, he continued on
his way and never noticed NE at all.
After that l frequently noticed
groups of Luxembourg peasants in
the distance but l usually saw them
first and managed to avoid them.
On the eighteenth day after my leap
from the train l crossed into Belgium.
It had taken me just nine days to get
through Luxembourg-a distance
which a man could ordinarily cover
in two, but considering the handicaps
under which labored 1 was very well
satisfied with my progress.
