The occasional scraping of Ia shoe
over the dusty sidewalk in front OF
the City hall yesterday afternoon
was the only sound which broke
the solemn stiffness surrounding
the crowd gathered around type
written lists pasted in the windows.
Perhaps IT was the heat which
made the owner OF the foot rest
less. Perhaps it was nervousness
resulting from searching through
the endless files of names and
numbers which within few days
may mean France and red graves
in that unhappy land.
Silence Broken.
Then the silence was broken
softly by the purring OF a canary
oolored automobile which rolled
slowly to the curb. The rythmatic
meter of its engine, its luxurious
upholstery, its general air of ele-
gance-all spelled money,
From its soft, cool interior two
girls of the "ilapper" age stepped
into the hot sunlight Silken

fearing to jest and half afraid to

And she wiped the soied pink tip

A wrinkled, cracked forcfinger
crept slowly through the lists OF
names. The white. haired woman,
tense with anxiety, was unaware
of the existence of the chirper or OF
