The biggest danger I ever encountered was so big that the risks I was obliged to take in war seemed nothing to it I was walking along a road one day In a country so peaceful that there wasn't even a sound of a lonely picket firing at an imaginary enemy "- 1 "Then the first thing I knew I didn't know anything, or. rather, the first thing 1 knew when I came to myself was to feel a horrible crawly sensation shooting from the back of my bead to every, part of my body. "I sat up, then got uj. It occurred to me that I had been sandbagged, so I looked In my pocket for two ten dol lar bills that had been in my posses sion, iv . . j '"They had been in a long pocket book with some letters and papers. The pocketbook, with everything in it, was gone.

Going to It, I found a dead man. "I searched for something by which to identify the man and found two ten dollar bills. Satisfied that before he died he had robbed me, 1 took the bills and put them in my pocket. I had scarcely done so when 1 saw two men coming toward me. They had simply stumbled on me and the body. I told them what had happened, and after a conference between the two, during which they looked at me suspiciously. they told me they would have to re port the matter to the police and I must go with them. "We went Into a town near by, and I told the story to the sergeant at the iesk. When I got through he thanked the two men for bringing me in. What's your name? he asked me, I told him my name was Daniel Morris and that I had but lately been discharged from the army that took Santiago de Cuba. "He sent out for the body, and when it was brought in it was searched. My pocketbook was found in it with pa pers and letters bearing my name. "'What's your game in taking the man s namer asked tue sergeant. No game at alL I'm Daniel Mor ris.' "He looked at me contemptuously. but said nothing. He put me in a cell. however, and that was the end of my liberty for months.

" 'If ever I get out of this,' I said to myself, 'I'm going to a country where there's perpetual war, no matter how barbarous.' "The evidence against me was over whelming. I sent for my captain to Identify me, bat I'd been bleached for a month in a cell, besides being thin ned by worry, and when b looked at me he wasn't willisc to swear that I was Dan Morris of his company.

How its rapid rivulets leap and play And cool the steps of the burn ing day! Oh, the cool, cool rain, with its brightening drops, On the hill and the fervid vale.
