DeSerter Lives
Long in Cave

There Amerine found q cave in
which he slept most Of the time, ven
turing forth only at night and at times
during the day when there was little
chance Of being seen. His only fare
was such scanty food as his wife could
get to him. herbs and wild berries
gathered from the woods and fields,
and such wild game as he could catch.
The cave in which he lived is said
to be large enough for only one per-
son, and could have been defended
against many. So closely did he watch
all approaches to his hiding place that
until a few days ago he had been
seen by no one except his wife and a
brother-in-law. ~
Persuaded to Give Up.
Military authorities had abandoned
the search for Amerine. Three weeks
ago an attorney friend Of the family
became interested and implored the
wife to have her husband return and
give himself up. She steadfastly held
that her husband would be shot II
captured and refused to have him re-
turn.
Clarence Stone Of Adelphi managed
to get word to the youth last week
that his was not a case of desertion,
and there was no danger Of a firing
squad. Amerine cautiously left his
hiding place, and visited Stones home,
where they went over the situation.
He agreed to give himself up.
Amerine again went to Stones home
His wife brought his uniform, which
she had preserved for him and had
neatly pressed for the occasion. With
