During the 0rst two days ] epeuN
with Huyliger after had nrst arrived
In the big city. he had told me. amona
other things, Of moving picture show
In town which he said I might have .
chance to see while there.
ut Is free every night In the week
except Saturdays and Sundays" be
said, "nnd once you are inside 200
would not be apt to be bothered By
anyone except when they come to take
your order for something to drink.
While there Is no admission, patrons
nre expected to eat or drink while en-
joying the pictures"
A day or two later, while walking
the streets at night In search for food.
l had passed this place and was very
much tempted to go in and spend .
few hours. particularly as 1t would
perhaps give me an opportunity to
buy something to eat, although ! was
ut a loss to know how was going -
ask for what I wanted.
While trying to make Up my MIND
whether It was safe Yor me to 60 10

coming out.
That settled oil my hanksginss To-
moving pictures that night ~whsre

''there must be moss like youi gueno
It II . good night for walking"
The next day. however, In recalIine
the incident Of the evening bpfores u
seemed to me that had been rathee
foolish. What I needed more than
anything else at that time was conn
dence. Before could get to the fro@
tier would have to confront 0ermaD
soldiers many times, because thAso
were more Of them between this civ
and Holland than in any section Of ~
country through which had no ~
Travelled. Safety In these contine'
encies would depend largely upon ~
calmpess I displayed. 1t wouldn't -

noticed, while careful to obey ~
orders Of the Huns, showed no partio'
ular fear Of them, and II seemed -
me the sooner I cultivated the eam9
feeling Of indifference the oesset
would be able to carry on the part !
