The woman showed plainly the
marks of keenest suffering, her
face was lined and scanned with
wrinkles. her hair showed streaks
of gray, her eyes we're sad and

and still she was but a young wO,

were great for she had lost her
husband and her hume in her be
loved country, Belgium, the little
country SO ruthlessly devasted by

She attracted much attention on

speaking with her. She spoke in
broken English and French and
she told of the Affections of her
people.

some to the brakeman, who could
speak and understand French, and
they held up their right arms and
showed the brakeman what Ger

war methods are like in fighting,
killing and ~iDjuring women and
children. The brakeman at first
could hardly believe their tale and
