Lest We FORGET!

A correspondent writes: During
some canteen work I recently came
in touch with an escaped prisoner Of
war, who had spent one year in Ger
man captivity, who related some Of
his experiences. He had made no
fewer than six attempts to escape, and
the first five unsuccessful efforts were
punished In a most barbaric fashion
He had had to undergo a reduction In
rations to two ounces Of bread and two
ounces Of meat per day, then solitary
confinement In dark cell for fort.
night, with only two ounces of bread
per day. The third attempt to escape
called forth the horrible reprisal Of be.
ing nailed to q plank of wood by the
fleshy web between the thumb and
forefinger, where large scars still re-
main. On the fourth occasion the poor
fellow received three bayonet wounds
in the stomach, and the punishment for
the fifth effort to escape was. he said,
too terrible to be related Montreal

A French balloon observer was at.

days he went up In his bulky sausage
and remained there unperturbed by
whistling shells, directing the fire Of
American batteries. On the fifth day
q German airplano dived from low

balloon dissolved in fame and smoke,
and the observer took to his para.

The Boche airman, not content with

where's Eve?" he asked 4 minute
later as he missed her.
"Why, she went down to the or.
charu," said one of the boys, "and, by
Jove, she didn't 60 for nothing" he
exclaimed excitedly, as he caught
sight Of Eve and a man coming slowly
up the path.
"Well, you see I found him." called
out Eve gayly, as they came nearer

Eve was first to hold up her hand.

Eve was first to hold up her hand.
''Then you must pay the forfeit"
said Aunt Jane as she held out mir
ror and a little card to the girl. "Hold
this mirror In your hand, and 80 down
into the orchard until you are out of
sight Of the house. Then, standing
under tree so that the light of the
moon falls over your right shoulder,
repeat the rhyme that is on this card
three times. Keep your eyes covered
until you have said the last word for
the third time; then look into the mir
ror and the image Of the man you are
going to marry will look out at YOU"
'Well, I'll co." said Eve, "but If it's
any of the boys here, shall call it no
fair and If it's old Molly, the COW,
who wanders over from the other pas
ture shall give her the 'mitten' then
and there"
She tripped off and selected her spot
with due care. Then, as rapidly as
she could speak the lines, she recited
the old familiar verse that she had
known since childhood.
"Under the autumn leaves here I
stand,
The Halloween mirror in my hand,
Noon, shining full in the sky so clear
Pray let me see In the mirror here
The face Of the man who some day
will be
The dearest in all this world to me-"
So intent was she on getting through
with this Peter Piper performance that
she did not hear the click Of the or
chard gate, nor the fall Of footsteps
coming nearer and nearer, and with a
little scream she dropped the mirror
out Of her trembling hands and COW
cred her eyes, as a deep and very ia.
miliar voice behind her repeated soft.
