 Oh" was the reply, you get p1en-y of excitement, and there is al ways the feeling you are cheating death
 Naunock certainly cheated death more than any man T know of, and his greatest achievement in this d. rcction was in the sumner of last year, between Ghent and Bruges. There had been a British intelligence officer in the neighborhood in hiding for about three weeks. He had as- certained all that he wished to know and It was imperative that he should go back. NIannock was sent to fetch him.
 As rendezvous in that region we used the house and grounds of a pa triotic Belgian who had suffered 2 great deal for his country.
 These were anxious days indeed, for-the Germans were very inquisi- tive, and made a number of visits to the house in search of unauthorized persons. On the second night troops were left in the house to keep watch, and it was a source of anxiety to Inc when 1 reflected that at any minute AIannock might come to the house. [ dared not go out to warn him, for l did nCE know how much the Ger mans knew or suspected, and any move I made might have the effect If putting them on their guard.

 Suddenly to my great relief h' turned and walked back along tht road by which he had come. After ' wards l learned that he had seen tht l Germans, had guessed what it al ] meant, and had gone back rather thai i run the risk of discriminating any 0 i US.
 Tho next day the soldiers wen away. the officer telling me: that h 1 was disgusted with the authoritie at Brussels, who had ordered him ou 1 on this fruitIess task. On the fol l towing night the British intelligenc officer arrived at the house, and abou Il o'clock set out to take. him >t rhe secret landing place, where Man mock was to be in readiness for him.
