Sitting in the sun those last weeks in the hospital
with nothing to do but wabble leg or that felt

had married another fellow because she loved him.
She'd written that in her last letteras she would have
spoken tin many words. And he believed she
meant what she said Her husband was young lawyer,
we'll call him Clark; for that wasn't his name,-and
he doing we'll for himself and for her. Under his
breath the boy muttered that that just what the
fellow had better do if he didn't want-and there

way you'd have said. She looked thin and tired; but
her eyes the front and she held her head up.
When the army man saw her. little boy had hold of her
