allies, 1725O0O There reported as missing mostly
prisoners for the allies 3435000 and for the Teuton
allies 16550OO The list of wounded is given at IL $685.

CHAPTER CXII.


Clifford came home before we were
through practising, and to my surprise
he invited both Leonard and Muriel to
stay to dinner. Burton was away so
Muriel Immediately accepted, and, after
a moments hesitation, leonard did
also.
I left them to tell Kate we were to
have guests for dinner, and TO have
Mandy help her. Then remained in
the dining room few moments, osten-
.sibly TO help arrange the table, but real
Nv to adjust myself. In spite of all |
could do, the question, "WHY did Cliff
ford ask Brooke to dinners' asserted it
self. Was he planning to so out and SO
did it for purpose, or had he really
meant to be kinds When returned to
the living room the question was still
unanswered.
AT dinner Clifford was all that could
be desired, His manner to Leonard
was perfect The little eondescension
he showed was not more than q man of
his age would naturally show q younger
man dining with him. Then he laughed
ani ioked with Muriei, whom he now
really iked--mueh to my delight. Edith
was allowed to sit up because "Auntie
Mnticln begged for her, and altogether
we we're a very merry little party.
After dinner we returned 10 the IL
Ibrary for coffee, and Edith went to bed,
slecpily happy over her treat. Just as
Kate passed the coffee, the telephone
rang, and Clifford went out into the hall
TO answer it.

I wondered if the call was for him.
Soon knew that it was from the scraps
Of conversation that floated in at the
open door. Some one he knew well evil
IDENTIFY was talking to him. I heard
Clifford laugh merrily and say that
t'perhaps / will run down after a
WHILE" Then, again he laughed and
said: ooh, about half an .hourl" and
hung up the receiver.
When he rejoined US he made no ref
erence to his telephone eall, but slipped
his coffee and took up the conversation
with Leonard where he had left it. Aft
er a little Muriel proposed that / sing

So I was right after all, 1 thought
bitterly. and he had asked Muriel and
Leonard to stay because he expected to
60 out. Probably he had arranged to be
called on the telephone, and when he
found them there had thought it good
way TO pacify me, so asked them to din

my manner, and sang as well as / could.
Clifford complihented me, then bade

art, who is engaged in farming pursuits,
reports that the fall sowing of wheat in

in October most of the farmers were
compelled to wait on the drouth until
the first of December and few have
delayed the process until spring opens
up. Next years crop promises to be
normal, despite the dry weather.
