* The Escapades Of An Airman *^et another prisoner has escaped from the intemrjent camp at the Alexandra Palace, Wood Green, N. . . Considerable mystery surrjunds tiis diMppearance, and so far there is no trac« of him. ... He is soroething of • 4andy in appearance, and ia Icnown by the great care he takes in his kands. . . ." So ran a notice in a Loiidon newspaper of May Slst, 1916. TIm escaped prisoner was Konstantin Maglic, a lieuteni>nt in the Austro- Rangarian Naval Air Service, and he tella his exciting story in "The Dandy Han" (Lane, 6s.). Almost as soon •a he arrived at Alexandra Palace he began to plan to get away again. Ard getting out was ea.iy snough for Uu~ resourceful airman. Certain prisoners were allowed to do some tnrdur.ing in the parte outside the cunp. A cleverly faked pass, and he had nade the first step towards free- dom: â€" "And now everything seemed to go U I had a hujdred times, when plan- â- ing, hoped that it would do. I dared cot clamber over the park railings 'n dryl'ght, so concealed myself in a damp of shrubs and waiced for n:ght. .... At nine o'clock I jumped over the railings. I found myself in a broad, deserted, suburban street . . . And, to my joy, the street was in coni- f?vte darkress, on account of the Zep- pelins." IN THE WEST-END. By bus and ^rani ne zigzag7<Kl up Vt the West-end. He was compara- Mvely safe in the daytime, for he had a fair amount of money and carried ijo luggage except t toothbrush and a razor. His problem became more a.ute by nightfall:â€" "I turned towards Piccadilly. I had i<een on my legs for twelve lours on end and my body was dropping with fatigue; but I dared not knock at the ioor of the meanest hotel, *or at all ef them there was compulsory regis- tration, reported to the police. Finally, when the stifling streets were growing deserted, I accep'ed the invitation of m gentle, fair-haired "sweetheart." She had a clean room In which I cou'd find a hiding place, and shi .'et me deei on undisturbed until Jawn. Day light, however, found me again roof- less and on the pavement." He was forced to s.iend most of his n-ghti. in the same way until he found his way to the East-end, whore fewer qnestions were asked. From seven in the morning till midnight he would wander through the streets. To get a little rest he sometimes visited a cin- ema. But, he says: â€" "I soon saw that it was not safe tlere. Military patrols oat to catch persons evading service would enter the halls, even in the af ternjo is, and demand to see one's papers of identity. I therefore left off going to the anti- German war films and retired to St. Paul's Cathedral, where I did not find much sign of piety. Marble statuary, gi'-ding, mosaics, and stained glass, i ««.uld sink down in -i corner, as if ab- Mrbed in prayer. In reality I slept like a dormouoc until awakened by â- ome noise or other, -r by the discom- fort of my position; a wooden bentih is far from being a four-post bed." A NASTY MOMENT. He had some ticklish moments. One night, in desperation, he determined to risk the registration questions at an totel near Aldgate. He gave out that he was an Italian: â€" 'Then I can't giva you a room TRIP TO ENGLAND AT 86 Rene Y. Daniaud, recently appointed District Passenger Agent, Canadian Pacific Railway, Algoma District, with headquarters at North Bay. Mr. Daniaud was formerly Travelling Pas- senger Asent at Winnipeg. prisons he was sent to Forli, near Bologna. Lack of reading matter was one of his chief hardships. At Forli he had only one novel, and at Pianosa he was permitted "nothing to read but dictiona: ies, which were ordered from Leghorn â€" Italian-French, Italian-English, and Italian-Spanish. So I spent a whole month doing nothing but learn by heart the dead contents of these dic- tionaries. Anyhow, it soothed ray restless worrying thoughts. And if my spirit became wearied of the me- chanical compulsion, I would spur my- self on by the reflection â€" this also is a way to freedom. I would say to my- self: 'How should one ask in three cr four languages for a railway ticket, a room in a hotel, or for work as a waiter or laborer?' " In England the prisoners used to pass their time in the weirdest ways. For a game called "Fishes" they "sat in a circle, and one who. was in the centre would stare at the ground (which represented the water) and would niake movements with an imag- inary hook, just as if real fish were gnawing at the bait. The others would watch with sporting interest." At Forli his thoughts always turn- ed towards freedom. He was housed in an old monastery, and hit on the idea of escaping through the tower! Procuring a rope and some burglar's tools â€" he does not tell us how â€" he broke open the door of his room : â€" "Then I entered the tower, unfas- tened the rope coiled around my body and knotted it on to a thick, worm- eaten beam and lowered myself through the bell-rope shaft. The church was dark as a coffin. Only, the usual votive lamp was burning; its ruddy glow, very weak, played in- distinctly on a primitive picture of the Madonna. A scent of incense, which slightly stupefied me. My heart pounded madly. Around me deathly si.ence, yet I .felt as if the organ were playing loudly and I were sing ing a joyful Te Dd^m." By listening to the trains passing he had already worked out a time- ..^ble. He reached the station at Faenza, and saw that stowing away would be safer than buying a ticket. As the train was moving out he "ran across the track and climbed on to the running-board of a ca.'riage. The curtains were drawn. Cautious- ly creej-ing like a cat, I sneaked for- ward to the buffers between two pas- senger carriages. There I crouched in Not so very long before she made a trip from Vancouver to Loudon, Eng- land, this woman of 8tt was almost helpless with rheumatism. Her daughter tells how xhe was able to make such a journey: "Some years ago my mother was a martyr to rheumatism, and could nut get about without the use of t.wo sticks. She was told of Kruschen Salts and decided to try them. After taking one ho(tle she found great re- lief, and after two bottles was able to walk without the aid of sticks. She has never been without Kruschen since, and takes a small dose two or three times a week. She is still able to travel and go about, although she was 89 last February. Indeed, at S(i she travelled the double journey be- tween Vancouver and London, Eng- land. She has recommended Kruschen to many people who have also found benefit from It."â€" K. B. L. What a lesson there for the younger folk! Why should anyone suffer from unfitness, rheumatism, constipation, backache â€" after reading this v. ^man'a letter? What Krusch'jn can do for a woman of advanced age, it can surely do for you.

I was enter- ed in the hotel register as 'Mr. Petro- vich, Serbian.' " Having spent a ni^ht in perplexity he decided to bluff it out and went to Scotland Yard next morning. A few hours later he was prisoner No. 9082 at the Alexandra Palace. This is one of the best books about escaping that we have had from "the ocher side." Nobody can fail to ad- mire the "Dandy Hur's" resourceful- ness and never-say-die spirit any more than they can fail to enjoy his ad- ventures.

"I was going simply to withdraw, when a gentleman in mufti joined in the conversation. 'As you are a stranger to London, I shall be happy to go with you to Bishopsgate and assist you there. I am an officer in the detective force.' "His features were half in the sha- dow. I could not see his eyes. Yet my heart stopped still from the sud- den fright. I felt paralyzed from bead to foot." He got away in the end by explain- ing that he knew exactly where Bish- opsgate was. Finally he managed to bribe some Norwegian sailors to smuggle him on board their ship. Disguised as a stoker he got past the sentries at the entrance gate of the Regent Docks. But his troubles were by no means over. Once on the ship he "had to hide in the miserable space partitioned off :n the room devoted to the hand-steering gear. It was stored with cabbages and ther vegetables. The whole closet was barely four feet long. I lay against the iron wall painfully huddled up. ... A terrible chill radiated from the iron floor. I wrapped myself up in a deck awning and was nearly choked by the clouds of dust shaken out from it." And then to be captured again after setting so far. He was discovered by the boatswain before the ihip was clear even of the English mine-fields, and h.-vnded over to a patrol boat. No render he says, "I cannot understand how I managed to escape insanity op the night that followed." IRISHI Pat O'Toole had worked tor the same village council for close on forty-four years, and had at last de- cided to retire. In appreciation of his long and faithful service the council arranged to give him a sum of money and they asked Murphy, the foreman, to pres- ent It. One Friday, Murphy gathered the rest of the men in the canteen for the presentation. "Pat O'Toole," he commenced a little falteringly you have worked for the council for over forty years and 01 believe you are now going to leave us?" "That's roight," said Pat. "Well, the council was so glad they asked me to hand you this sum of twenty pounds," concluded Murphy. Great Value in either of these-" Red Rose Tea Red Label, 25c. lib. Orange Pekoe, 38c. ilD.

By a roundabout way he got to Genoa, where, after a good deal of trouble, he found sanctuary on a Greek steamer bound for the United States. From New York the ne.xt thing was to get home to Austria again. Posing as a Serbian waiter who wished to return to Europe after some years spent in America, he se- cured a passport and joined a ship for Christiania. Off the Orkneys an English naval officer and twelve men came aboard and ordered all passen- gers to Kirkwall for examination. "Thero he was detained and told he must be sent to Edinburgh.
