notwithstanding the fact that she was
acting in good faith, Janet Stedman had
a feeling of guilty conscience as she
stepped into Nicons motor car. Roy
tucked her into the place beside him,
covering her carefully with fur robe,
stuffed himself in behind the steering
wheel, and with an obedient purr, the
big car started off.
Janet was thinking just how much to
tell Nicoll of the why's and wherefores
of her husbands absence. She knew
Roy had only the friendliest intentions in
calling-he had. merely taken her at her
word when she had told him to come
any time; we'll always be happy to see

But, as in the case of Katie, her coll
ored servant who came each morning
and went home when her work was
done, it was hard to explain Walters be-
ing away. Katie had the commonplace
viewpoint of her kind. Roy Nicoll would
have the commonplace viewpoint Of his
kind. Neither would understand the
strange proceeding of young husband
rating "just for a vacation" and to keep
the fatal rocks of boredom.
For the half-mile or SO of city traffic,
Roy paid close attention to the car.
He only began to notice Janet's silence
when they were speeding along the
moonlit roads of Westchester toward the
athletic club of which he was a popular
member.

On the road leading from Villers-Cot-

golden autumn day, early in the war, two
women and a little girl walking wearily
along a path which had been newly made
by the feet of the scores of thousands
of folk who had fled before the first Ger
man advance. l asked the driver of the
equipage which 1 had rented in Villers-
Cotterets to take them with us and with
pleasure he did so.
1--WE are going back to Senlis,' ex-
planned one of the tired women, who was
the mother of the little girl. 1.-The Ger
mans were very close when we ran away
and some of the town was burning. For
two weeks now we have been gone from
that the Germans have gone from Senlis
and so we are going back to see If we
still have a home" Now and then they
wished to talk The chlld's aunt was
full of hatred for the Germans. The
mother was stolidly content with the
prospect of getting back home, but
Mama, will it be that the candy shop
is open? Will Nero be watching the
house? Do Germans take dogs like Nero?
Wouldn't Nero bite a German?
IF the house is still there we shall find
Nero" the mother would answer IF
the candy shop is there it will be open.

We passed through Creepy and moved
slowly on toward Senlis.
There. voila!'' exclaimed the mother,
suddenly IT see the tower OF the church.
Perhaps it is not so bad with our house
as we feared"
The driver whipped up the two tired
horses He and I knew what great Curl
osity was straining the hearts of the
women. We ratified into the main street
and passed the partly ruined church
