Reward In Swear Search.

Mrs. Marony was inconsolable. She
determined to return to France. When
the war came she gave her fortune
and her personal services to the Red
Cross.
Labor knew Sister Mary was In E,l-
rope some place, but he was unable
to communicate with her.
Finally he determined to make a
personal search for the widow Of his
lifelong friend. He disposed OF his
interests in Butte and went abroad.
That was three years ago. Untiring-
ly he hunted, and was on tho verge Of
giving up many times.
But something he could not define

repeat? He found Sister Mary doing
Just what he would have expected her
to do.
Mrs. Marony prevailed upon Lalor
to do more than give his money to the
Red Cross. Despite the fact that he
presented many field ambulances to
Frence and in other ways did what he
could she finally persuaded Lalor to
offer his own services.
Letters from Labor to his brother
told Of his happiness, and Of the great
work Mrs. Marony, to whom he. re-
ferred as a real Sister Of Mercy, was
doing. Then came the announcement
of the climax of this strange romance.

It was the war which gave Cupid &
chance to play a part in the roman

BECAUSE OF ONE,

BECAUSE OF ONE.
Because of one dear infant head.
With golden hair,
TO me all little heads
A halo wear;
And for one sanity face knew,
Al babes are fair.
Because of two wide. earnest eyes
or heavenly blue,
Which look with yearning gaze
My sad soul through,
All eyes now fill mine own with
tears,
Whate'er their hue.
Because of little death-marked lips
Which once did call
My name in plaintve tones,
No voices fall
Upon my ears IN vain appeal,
From children small.
Two little hands held In my own,
Long, long ago,
Now cause me as l wander through
This world of woe
To clasp each baby hand stretched
out
In fear of foe.
The lowest cannot plead IN vain
loved him SO.
