MOther, cried oliver, Il just had q
letter from Coolidge. He's over on the
other side, driving an ambulance. Tucker
and Perry are in the Foreign Legion.
Everybody's over there. I'm going too.
Do you mind?"
His mother looked at him. She was
indeed unusual; woman Of brains, fine
sensibilities, ambitious for her SON But
let us not dwell on these things. She was
looking full at Oliver, and | should like
to keep tragedy out of this as much as
possible.
"Youwant toto drive an ambulance?'
she asked.
"Better than that" glowed Oliver. II
can get into an aviation corps. Ben says
it will be easy"
His mother did not speak for mo-
ment. She had not been one of those
bored by the war; she had read daily Of
the French, of French mothers. At that
instant she thought that her son might
have felt the heat of the flames, and while
her heart sank in terror, there was thrill
of exultation too. Poor lady!
@On the French side?" she asked.
Naturally" said Oliver. "All the fell
lows are on that side: Coolidge and Perry
and"
Then she knew. 1t was not that Oliver
had felt the heat Of the flames, not that he
had seen and recognized heroism and suf-
fering-t was nothing at all save that he
had found a new game to play. But was
it not possible that, once he gained that
bloody theater, something might happen,
some great light break 1t will be seen
that divers mother was also an optimist.
ooh, Oliver" she said al shall be un-
happy to have you go. But if you feel
you must"
"I'll be all right" Oliver assured her.
@Don't you worry. I'll be careful.
Later in the day he told one other in
Boston of his intention. This was Agatha
Guiding Agatha herself, was patiently
waiting for him to marry. Oliver was
taking her for drive in his car at the
time.
am glad you're going to do something
for France she said. Everybody is

Enwright is going over as nurse.
rather wish that I-surely l know as
much about nursing the wounded as
Florence does
Oliver made no reply. He had a selfish
little feeling that he wanted this thing to
himself; Agatha had no right to interfere.
So the girl made no more reference to her
own ambitions. She said that she hoped
Oliver would come out all right, and
wasn't it beautiful day for December?
ABOUT week later Oliver took mid
= night train for New York. The good
by scene with his mother, which he had
rather dreaded, passed off splendidly.
She was quite matter-of-fact and calm;
even smiling when he left her in the hall.
There was an odd light in her eyes.
Oliver carried letter from the French
Ambassador practically promising him
commission. Influential friends had Sc
cured it for him. The Ambassador had
been somewhat bewildered; he had been
given the feeling, subtly, that France was
honored by this condescension from a
Winterslip. But he had been touched
too, and he had agreed, by mail. He had
not seen Oliver.
On the day following his arrival in New
York, Oliver was booked to sail on a
French liner.
He would have sailed, too, if he had
..kS -.

age, so he arranged to sail week later.
In the meantime he hung round the
club, hero in prospect. There was a
martial spirit in the air. Talk was all of
artillery, ammunition, our woeful lack of
preparedness. Young men gazed fiercely
into the future.
The gorgeous evening of the ball ar
rived. Oliver had been puzzled as to his
costume, but he finally hit on the happy
idea of going as Sir Galahad. He felt that
Martin could not object; the knight was
public property.
AS it turned out, Oliver was the hit Of
the evening. Not only was he a Winter
slip: he was a Winterslip about to fly for
France
The next day, at noon, he stood on the
deck of the French liner and watched his
hopelessly plebeian and totally unpre-
pared country fade into the January mist.
At last he was on his way toward the ad-
vertised thrill.
There is no intention to relate here, as
in a diary, divers trip over, his adven-
lures at the front. Stirring as some of
those adventures were, it is Oliver him
self who forbids-good old Oliver, un-
imaginative, uninteresting, colorless, But
now and again, reader, you and l will
steal up softly, and, opening the door, we
will glance into divers mind. Then we
will close the door and steal away. When
our courage returns, we will creep up
again
THE initial adventure of this sort inn
pends. After dinner that first evening
on the boat, Oliver encountered near the
rail young Harvard man whom he had
seen in New York. and who was going
over for work in the ambulance corps.
The young man was not of divers crowd;
their meeting was an accident. His name
was Carter, or some such thing.
al hear you're to be in the aviation
corps, the boy said. @Gad-what a
chance! | wish l had it. They're won-
derful, aren't they?'
"Who?" yawned Oliver.
4Who? The French. What fight
they've made!" And Carter walked ex-
citedly back and forth on the moonlit
deck. "No complaints-no kicks-just
gone out and died. Talk about efficiency
that's efficiency with the heart behind
it. I'm proud to live in the same world
with them.'
4Really?n said Oliver.
"Did you read about Fere-C -Champenoise
how they died there?'
"Really-I-" Oliver stared with dis
approval at this disgracefully emotional
young man.
go as far as you can, and stick there
that was the order they got. And they
did. Whole regiments dead on the field
dead like gentlemen, with their bodies
between the enemy and Paris"
@Never heard of it, said Oliver.
"You're fighting for something when
you fight for them,' blazed Carter.
@Lord, envy you! IN be back Of the
lines myself-back there picking up
wounded-well, can tell my kids about
that, anyway"
He came close.
"Do you know" he said, II threw up
good job to come over here. I'll be broke
when this is over. And proud of it,.
Oliver yawned again.
"Beg pardon, he said. "Up until five

"Why?" inquired Oliver blankly.

she said. "Go out tomorrow. I'm to

ON the following night Oliver dutifully
went to the Ritz to dine with his uncle,
Percy Winterslip. Uncle Percy was a
large, red-faced, commanding man who
had lived in England for many years.
He was bursting with indignation.

He took drink to steady himself.

He stared with popping eyes into space.

YOUNG CROWS GOOD FOOD:
OLD ONES GOOD FOR FAT

Frankfort Germany. June 14--From
experiences in the field in Russia, Dr.
Adolf Schnee is convinced. and has sug-
Gested TO the German government, thar
young crows are a tasty and valuable
source Of food, and that the old, tough
birds that follow the armies by the tens
Of thousands are a plentiful source OF
fat that can beused in making soap If
not in preparing food for human be-
iugs.
DR.. Schnee suggests therefore that
crow hunting be begun systematically,
after the government has been con-
WINGED Of the correctness of his views
and after experts have determined just
how crow fat can be purified. and TO
just what purposes il can be put after
being adulterated or added TO otrher
and scarcer fats
