There was little pause before the
last word and then he went on.
Il want to shake hands with us all
when I'm able. We're a winning
bunch"
AS soon as Daily had gone Poppy
Ordway leaned so close that the subtle
perfume of her garments intoxicated
him strangely, and said exultantly.
And now for Hampden, Walter
I'm ready to go after him right"
Sandry looked up at her from his
pillow and then out along the spring
tinted hills. and drew his brows to-
gether in thought.
Presently he spoke.
You've been so good to mel can't
say how good. how much you have
stood for to me here-but-but, IL you
please, Miss Ordway-Poppy, my
friend-Pd rather you'd let Hampden
alone"
"What?" cried Poppy aloud. while
all her instincts were clamoring for
adjustment. What do you mean.

TELL OF STRANGE MEETINGS
able Happenings Occurring in the
Military hospitals.
CTO BE CONTINUED0

The long arm of coincidence was
never more strikingly illustrated than
by the remarkable cases of hospital
reunions related by the commanding
officer of the Welsh General Military
hospital Recently a nurse entered
one of the wards, calling the name of
a certain soldier who was due to take
his medicine. In response to the call
man sat up in one Of the beds. but
further inquiry showed that although
the surname was the same, the Chris
tian name was different from that of
the man she was seeking, says Lon
don Tit-Bits.
At that moment the right man, who
was well enough to hobble about, ar
rived upon the scene, and then, to the
amazement of the nurse and the other
occupants of the ward, the patients
recognized each other as brothers who
had not met for many years. What
Is more extraordinary still, the two
brothers had been in the same ward
for several days without either being
aware of the others presence.
Even more extraordinary is the case
of two men in another ward, who,
when the roll was called, suddenly
recognized one another as chums who
some years ago joined the colors the
same day. They had been close
chums in the ranks, but subsequently
drifted apart through the drafting Of
one of them on foreign service, to find
themselves reunited in adjoining beds
in the Welsh Military hospital.
On comparing notes further string
OF condolences was discovered. The
two men. unaware of each othee's
presence at the front, had been wound
ed the same day, taken to the same
base hospital, brought home In the
same ship, carried to the same train
and finally placed next to one another
in the same ward of home hospital.
Another curious case is that Of q
man who after being wounded at the
front was admitted to one of the wards
Of the hospital On his discharge he
went back to France, and, wounded
second time, found his way back once
more to the same ward.

work and Siletz had stopped between
the tables at supper time.
Will the Siletz stay?" she had
asked simply and it had taken no more
than that. The camp went ahead in
definitely.
Now Daily stopped her with a great
nand on her shoulder and looked hun
grily into her face.
Sletz," he said softly, sis it true?'
She raised her eyes to his and an
swered as simply, "Yes."
There was no need of many words
among these people of strong lives,
of straightforward principles.
The big man Strengthened up bit
and shut his lips hard, as if he bit
upon pain, looked after the vanishing
fgments of all his dreams that had
peopled the hills of the future. His
mother had seen that look in the eyes
of John Daily the frst-who had
took his hard knocks standin' that
look of patient strength. For 1t she
had followed him into the hard life
of lumber camp and never regret
ted it.
Now it spent itself on the rising
hill, visible through the open door
across Siletz' dark head, and John
Daily the Second was ready to face
his loss.
"Siletz," he said gently, always re-
member that I'm the best friend you
got on earth-I'll be waitin' all my
life to help you eff you ever need
me-" And he smoothed his hard
hands easily down her arms, lingering
a moment with her hands folded in
his palms Then he turned away to
the days work There was small I'M
dertone of softness in his voice at the
last words that was never to leave
it again.

Then change came over his fea
lures and inyoluntarily he peered
closer.
Mas keen, old eyes were upon his
face and she saw it slowly lose what
little color returning life had given 1t,
saw a look of bewilderment, of amaze
and something very like fear settle
down upon it, drawing the features,
Tightening the skin. He stared hard
at the few scant notes, then raised
dilated eyes to her.
Are you sure, ma. sure-?" he
asked in strangely altered voice.
Sure? Ever know me to speak
when | want sure. SOM" said the gen.
eral grimly.
For, though the notes on the page
were so few and so meaningless to an
outsider. it was plain that they had
fallen under the one pair of eyes
whose owner they most vitality con-
cerned.
This was what Waiter Sandry read:
Tuesday night: Ruined! Ruined! Help
less, and he does not know!
Wednesday: Scoundrels all-James B.
Whitby- Musseldorn-Copper and Zinc.
Consolidated Legitimate! My God, it's
done legitimately! Within the law! May
such law be damned, James b. Whitby-
am the law this night
Thursday: Dad. ola chap!
When he had finished, his weak
hands trembled on the sheet and there
was the look of cornered animal in
the bright, blue eyes that sought the
old woman's pleadingly

back and put it where Miss Ordway

saw it,
Without a word, Ma Daily picked up
her bowl. put the little red book in her
pocket and took Siletz away to the
noon work, leaving the man for the
first time alone. OF wide and cup
ming knowledge was this old handler
of men, She knew that he would
think best in solitude.

up the path, she never dropped that"
but it's worth while. There's some
thin threatenin' Sandry, an though
he's pretty weak to be worried, it's

And in the meantime Poppy Ordway
was talking to Hampden on the S1letz
road. The man was passionate, force
full. a little worried by her long alb
sence from their rides, and he used
every persuasion az his command to
win her from the Daily camp.
What for do you want to stay

CHAPTER XIX
A Lie and a Theft.

Sandry recovered rapidly. His youth
and 1.-THE strength were powerful aids
and the broken bones inside the plas-
ter casts knitted busily. With his re-
turn to consciousness, Miss Ordway
relaxed her vigilance. She gave up
her place without protest to Ma Daily
and began to spend part Of her days
in the little room. This had been San
dry's urgent request.
See what you've lost already in
time and strength and energy" he
pleaded. please go to your own work :"
On one of the first days of Ma
Daily's attendance, he asked to see
Siletz.
The general was wise and she sent
the girl alone. Sandry closed his eyes
and lay waiting for the light step that
always reminded him of wild things in
the forest-so slipping, soft and
hushed was 1t.
Presently he heard it coming down
the slope. 1t slowed as it neared the
Office and for long time stopped al
together outside the door. His heart
leaped uncontrollably and conflicting
emotions flushed his face as he called
her softly
Come here, S'letz," he heard him
self saying, though for his life it was
not what he wished to say. and she
came and dropped on her knees beside
him, clasping her hands on the sheet
at his side. There was nothing of the
conscious avowal of Poppy's words in
her look and attitude, only the simple
betrayal of a nature as open as the
day. The shining light of joy in her
face, the hushed acknowledgment of
Gods sparing of his life. was all-suffl-
cient. In fash he heard the words
of Kolawmie's half-breed:
for Sletz is your woman"
And he knew they were true. By
every sign of her soul and body they
were true, as simply as the flower wor-
ships the sun all day. And there in
the little south room from whose open
window he could hear the click OF a
| typewriter, was the most brilliant
| woman of his own world whom he had
ever known, woman soon to be IA
NOUS 1OT u0T great Sllt anu

open word was his woman!"
Little Sletz," he said, though he
had meant to use her name alone,

| But what he would have said was
left unspoken. for Ma Daily creaked

want a slice of ham and some of your
Incompatible rice pudding"
"You want what you get. You sip
this all"
AS Sandry obediently finished the
| last drop, the general reached in the
capacious pocket Of her dish apron.

She held squarely before his eyes a
little red morocco notebook, opened at
a page far to the back.

Without volition, Sandry glanced at

Ethel Peck, the young maid; and
Dave Lister was Mortgage, the

performers did well it was the
(opinion of the audience that Miss
Lakin was the star actress. She
acted the old maid to perfection.
