“The Wicked Flee”
By ROBERT J. PEARSALL
(Copyright.)
1 was standing on Kearney street
In San Francisco when 1 saw a two-
liorse wagon pass with the letters
"Q.M.D., U.S.M.O.," on Its side.
The letters seemed to me to have some
personal significance.
So I hailed the driver, who wns
dressed In n blue uniform, and asked
him what they meant.
"Quartermaster’s Department. Uni
ted States Marine Corps." he said.
"Oh," I said. "Is that it? I thought
they might mean, 'Quick,. McDonald,
Useless Suckers Made Comfortable.’ "
He laughed a hit. "Your, name Mc
Donald?”
"Yes.”
“Well, they might mean .that, too.
Got a job?"
"No.” '
"Want one?”
"Yes."
"Jump In nnd come with me."
He look nte to the recruiting office
nt the foot of Market street, nnd the
wind-up of It whs that before the day
was over I wns enlisted in the Marine
Corps ns a private at thirty per, nnd
on my way to the barracks at Mare
Islnnd.
Which Is all merely by way of ex
plaining how I ennie to he doing n
mld-watcli In an orderly box lu front
of the commandant's house on that
auspicious night four months Inter.
Shortly nfter midnight the telephone
rang.
"Commandant’s orderly," I answered.
“This is wireless. Message from
Western Union.”
I grabbed n pencil nnd memorandum
pnd nnd prepared to copy It, "Let
’er go,” I said.
This wns the astounding ntessnge
that I received: -
Commanding Officer, Marine,Barracks.
Mare Island, via Commandant, Navy
Yard:
Place Private Fred B. McDonald under
immediate arrest. Further Instructions
by mall.
(Signed), Bliss,
Commandant Marine Corps.
Fred E. McDonald 1 That was my
self!
Rather than stny nnd.face the un
certain charge, with Its still more un
certain attendants of trial nnd punish
ment, I would run away.
What with the sentries and civilian
watchmen and guards It wasn’t going
to be any easy time getting off the
island, nnd that I knew.
Then I started down Davis street
toward the water-front.
I knew where there was a shore-boat
lying alongside the' sea-wall at the
end of the street. I would steal that,
or borrow It, rather, and get away.
.It was a mighty dark nigl}t; X had
that In ray favor. I got/ half-way
down the street without being dis
covered.
Then, just as I was passing the Bn-
glneer building, some one turned into
the street about fifty feet ahead. I
stopped and slunk against the side ot
the building; but he bad heard me.
“Halt!" he cried. "Who’s there?”
It was a sentry.
, .Tust above me was a barred window.
I took hold of the ledge and pulled
myself up noiselessly.
There I clung, monkey-Uke.
The sentry challenged three times.
Then he proceeded to Investigate.
Several times he passed me so close
flint I could have kicked Ills hat off.
Rut. nt last he gave It up nnd went
his way, and I went mine, gratefully.
I made It to the sea-wall without
further mishap.
And then the door of a near-by build'
Ing opened nnd a night watchman
came out,
“Olt-h, ye dlvfl, Ol have ye, have
01?” he cried, and made a dive for
me.
“You have not!” I said.
I sprang out of the boat and dodged
him as he came.. I sprinted up’ the
water-front at a ten-second gait, with
him lumbering behind.
"Stop or Oi’il shoot, Oi’ll shoot,” he
yelled.
I didn’t think he would, and so I
kept, on running.
But, all of a sudden, from In front
of me came the sharp:
“Halt! Halt! Halt!” of a sentry.
I knew that meant business.
There was only one thing to do. It
was a long swim across the channel,
and the undertow was treacherous,
but I turned and dove headlong from
the sea-wall
Bang!
Say, did you ever make a running
dive, expecting to hit water, and in
stead land square on a solid oak plat
form. No? Well, that’s what I had
done.
A float, for the use of shore-boats,
had been anchored there. I learned
more astronomy in that insjant than
I ever had at school.
The senjjy and the watchman pulled
me off the float. I was pretty well
dazed; but got myself together In »
moment.
“Sure, an’ ye- are a lncky beggar,"
said the watchman. "What are ye
goln’ to do with hum, sin try ?"
“Turn him over to the sergeant of
the guard, I suppose," said the sentry.
“What were you trying to do, any.
way?”
“I’m restricted,” I said. "I was try
ing to make a liberty. I haven’t been
off the Island since pay-day.”
“Well. I don’t know as I blame
you much,” said the sentry, who was
■ re-enlisted man, and had probably
broken restrictions many times him
self.
So they turned me loose nnd I
started up Front street, pretty badly
dlscotmrged. 1 had Just missed my
best chance for gaining freedom.
And I knew that I must run the
gantlet of several more sentries before
1 reached the launch-landing, the next
point from which It might be possible
to get a boat.
The rattle of a sword sounded ahead
of me. It was the officer of the day
making his rounds. So he wns to he
ndded to my other troubles.
. I would Impersonate a member of
flie guard.
1 had done watches over that post
nml thought I remembered till the or
ders. 1 would make a bluff at It any
way.
I walked boldly out In the street
nnd. toward ttie approaching footsteps.
When nbout thirty -fincos distant, I
stopped. "Halt I Who’s there?" I
challenged.
"Officer of the day."
"Advnnce, officer of the day, with
the countersign.” •
He advanced.
“Haiti Countersign!" I challenged
again, when he had arrived within
ten pnees.
“Custer,” lie said.
Finally lie turned away, qnd I sa
luted nml started on, taking off iny
Imitation belt ns sooA ns I got out
of sight. *
I walked boldly enough now. I wns
halted ’by several sentries, but gave
them the countersign nnd wns allowed
to pass. ’
However, while I wns penring the
launch-landing, a big white light com
ing up the stream .suddenly gave me
an Inspiration.
It was the Rehome, from San Fran
cisco, ■■ nnd from the curve she wns
making she evidently Intended running
alongside the sea-wall In order to land
n consignment of stores on H|0 Islnnd.
Tlie corporal of the guard, who lind
come down from the guard-house,
stood near, lantern In hand, checking
off the freight as It arrived.
I watched my opportunity. At a mo
ment of some little confusion I slipped
from my hiding place to n point near
the onsets of goods, nnd then started
boldly up 'the gangway, hoping to be.
mlstakcp- In the 'darkness for one of
the workmen.
But rn’y little plnn didn’t work,
Something, or sbmo one attracted the
attention of (he corporal of the. guard
to me. He let n whoop out of him
like a Comanche.
“Halt! Hey, there, you! Stop!”
I was already hnlf-wn.v' up the gang
way. I didn’t stop. How could I?
I just couldn't afford to be caught
now. ,
A general court martial wns the
least I'could expect!
I leaped, up the gangway Into the
after comportment of the ship, anil
up another gangwny to the upper dock.
The corporal of. the guard wns right
at my heels.
tl rushed to the port-rail, leaped over
H*. and landed again on the sen-wall,
with a crash that well-nigh broke my
legs.
I scurried off In the darkness.
As I passed In rear of the guard
house I saw lights flash In the relief
rooms, and heard the excited hum of
voices os the .guard grabbed their
rifles and belts. In thirty seconds I
would have half n hundred men hunt
ing me like a rabbit.
A light, loomed up ahead of me. It
was the light of my orderly box.
I rushed up to It, jerked open the
door and sprang Inside. .Tust then
the telephone rang. I took up the re
ceiver.
’’Hallo, orderly. This is wireless.
Where've you been? Been trying to
get you for fifteen minutes. All right.
Take this message.” It was as fol
lows :
Commanding Officer, Marine Barracks,
Mare Jslhnd, via Commandant, Navy
Yard:
Error In preceding mesmige. The Pri
vate, Fred K. McDonald, in question, now
at Brooklyn Navy Yard. Disregard letlcr.
(Signod), Bliss,
Commandant Marine Corps.
I had just started to copy this mes
sage In the smooth log when the ser
geant of the guard stuck his head in
nt the door.
“Say, orderly," ho said, "haven’t
heard any one pass here, have you?
On the run? No I Funny. He must
have come this way. Where could he
have gone?”
About half an hour afterward my
relief came and my mid-watch was
over. „
But I hud some trouble next morn
ing In explaining how I’d got so bad
ly battered up over night.
Child Entitled to Opinions.'
In training the child, his opinions
should b« respected nnd parents should
take time nnd have'patience to show
him wherein lie Is right or wrong. He
certainly cannot always have his own
wny, now nor In the future; therefore
he must learn to obey before he Is lit
to command, and careful, constant
training Is needed to produce this re
sult. Children should he churns with
their parents, and should also have
the companionship of other children
nnd learn ,to "got along" without diifi-
cultles or quarrels; adaptability Is es
sential to happiness,—Exchange.
Paper Money That Is Lost.
From figures available It Is esti
mated that bills of larger denomina
tions nre not frequently lost. Prob
ably not more than throe-tenths of 1
per cent of them fall to return. Tak
ing It altogether, It Is estimated that,
aside from the shlnplnsters that were
lost, there 1ms been about $8,000,000
woYth of paper money that went out
of the treasury nnd never enme back,
These were United Slates notes uud
gold nnd silver certificates.
Kid Raising for Glovos:
Before the war the peasants of many
it little village made a living by rais
ing kid to supply the gloves for which
Franco lias long been famous, The
perfection of lhe skins is considered
by the” French mnmiftioturore to be
the keynote of the perfect glftvos.
Their method Is to have one work
man handle the prepared kid from the
time it Is brought In until the gloves
which are shaped from that kid nre
entirely finished.
