destination and Mrs. Ammon saw the
situation, she notified her husband that
there was trouble IN store for them.

II was o'clock on q pleasant sum

IN an ambulance only available

COMFORT One might as well have tried

The pair dlned in solitude. There
was no occasion for any Of the officers
to report to the colonel till the next
morning. and after dinner he sat silent,
the picture OF despair. Not sound
came from the officers quarters near by
nor across the parade except an occa-

Surprise. relief, pleasure, embarrass-

in the Dag under which he served. On
his wife's lips he saw a smile, and an
unwilling shamefaced duplicate broke
upon his own. Then, amid the noise Of
