French train away from the Dattie-
SCARED country. There was nothing
particular going on at the front, yet
we seemed to be contipually shunted
for the passing Of huge supply trains
moving eternally in the other dlrec-
tiOn. When the morning twilight rolled
slowly away from the face OF the
country. leaving at first little ciouds
of white mist lowering over the fresh
ly plOwed fields, the sound OK the
guns was still In our ears. The 1ace
OF the country. however. had changed.
There were farmhouses to be seen,
some OF them intact and apparently
prosperous, chateau or two ON the
hillsides, old men and women anu
young girls Mt work In the fields.
We stopped ut the station of some
small town and stretched out our
eager hands for the cups OF hot conee
and the rolls and butter wheeled
along the length OF the platform. The
warmth OF the coffee was like tnlls-

Conversation blossomed out between
the two and f1ourished. At first !
barely listened. We were passing
through q marshy district which re-
minded me OF home, little pools Of
water. tall rushes moving in the
morning breeze. sedgy places from
which. ut the sound of the shrill
whistle Of our locomotive, a flight of
ducks rose hastily. Then I heard
word behind me which In these days
inevitably stirs the blood. The word
was peace l turned away from
the window and listened.
"But, my son. have patience" the
old woman was saying. Il speak

husband and two sons.' Yet have
others fighting. and 1t is Of them I
think. II indeed these Boches are
weary Of fighting IL indeed it is peace
they offer, why should not one at least
lIsten?"
The Poilu turned toward her. His
haversack, with Its queer collection Of
miscellaneous articles, was on the seat
by his side. The mud Of the trenches
was thick upon his clothes. There
was a weeks beard bristling upon his
chin. Yet his voice suddenly pro-
claimed him man Of some education.

There was no sound Of guns here.

at the platform. Madame laid down
