yond the parade ground, and he had
suffered from the young soldiers in
evitable fear of fear.
So he resigned himself to his situa-
ton. He emptied his water bottle and,
gripping the END of his gauze roll with
his teeth, managed to bandage his
wound sufficiently to stop the bleed
ing. The languOr, however, was in
creasing. Sometimes he would doze
for few moments, awaking with
start, to wonder where he was, and
what had happened. The air was very
still. The shouts had long since died
away, the rifle firing was a distant
cracking; the tremulous staccato tap
ping Of the machine guns was like the
roll Of drums far away.
Wallace must have slept for a pro-
longed period, for when next he be-
came conscious he started up to see,
to his intense establishment, a pretty
little girl of three or four years, stand
ing in front of him and looking at him.
He rubbed his eyes, expecting her to
disappear. But she was still there, and
just as he was beginning to piece to-
gether a Spanish phrase she spoke to
him in English.
II want my daddy"
Wallace reached out and drew the
child toward him. ''Where is your
daddy" he asked. "And who are
you"
"I'm Eleanor" she answered, sand
won't you please find my daddy for
me?"
She pointed with grimy little hand
toward the interior Of the shack, and
Wallace, struggling to his feet with a
great effort, made his way inside.
1t was almost dark in the hut, and
Wallace could only make out with diff
ficulty the form Of man who lay, face
downward, upon the ground near the
wall. Presently, however, as his eyes
became more accustomed to the OBJ
security, he saw the bullet wound in
the back of the head.
He looked up at the child, who stood
by, unconcerned. $50 away, Eleanor"
he said gently.
The child, too young to know any
thing of death, went out of the hut
and began to play in the shaft of SUM-
light that filtered through the branches
Of the palms. Wallace searched the

grimy hands. Her cheek snuggled into
the hollow Of his arm. The lieutenant
was curiousiy touched by this uncon-
scious confidence.
He issued from his ordeal of pain at
last, when the bearers halted in front
Of the line of tents that served for
field hospital. Stretchers by the dozen
were piled about the ground, and more
were arriving constantly. Wounded
men, guided by the sound, came
limping in on the last lap of their
painful journeys. Others, who had ar.
rived but had not yet been attended
to, sat or lay in front of the tents. Or
derlies were scurrying to and fro. Ma
jor Howard caught one of the regi-
mental surgeons. who looked Mark
over quickly and then picked the child
out of the stretcher.
"HellO! Who's this?" he asked.
'Friend Iof HIS" said the major, in.
dicating Mark.
"She doesn't look like Cuban young
lady," said the doctor, as he cut away
the sleeve of the tunic.
"Her fathers dead. Hit by shell
on his way from Santiago. think he
was an American" said Mark.
"Give her to me. I never had one,"
said the doctor, suddenly injecting a
hypodermic into Marks arm.
"Not after that" said Mark, vino
ing. Besides, I'm thinking of adopt
ing her myself"
And he wondered what had made
him say that when the thought had
hardly reached his own conscious
ness.
"See here, young man! Let me look
at that arm Of yours before you talk
that way. Hum! You'll be running
round in couple Of weeks, as well as
ever"
''Thank heaven for that" calculated
Mark fervently. 'Then I'll be in at
the DEATH"
81 doubt it. I won't pass you for
duty for six months to come" said the
doctor, grinning. Then, seeing Marks
detected look, he added, more seri-
ously:
"You may thank the modern high
power bullet that you are going to keep
your arm, my boy. It's drilled nice
little percil-hOle clean through the
joint, instead Of SCATTERING it, and
that's got to be filed in with new
growth. Even I can't grow bones in
week. I wish 1 could. Ten years
ago your arm would have had to come
off. There's nothing more can do for
you, my son." he added, as he smeared
some sticky stuff over the wound and
began adjusting bandage, Except tie
you up and put you in the hospital to-
night, and send you down to the base
in the morning."
"The devil you will! I guess I'm
well enough to stay on the job as ]
am"
"Here, I haven't any more time to
waste on you" said the doctor.
'sPounce will make you sling and
you'll so into that tent and stay there.
or I'll cashier you. You won't be feel
ing so spry tomorrow morning. Get
out!"
He strobe away, leaving Mark look
ing into the grinning black face of
Johnson.
After the sling had been adjusted
he discovered that the sense of we'll
being, due to the hypcdermic, was al
ready beginning to leave him. His
servant helped him into the tent and
Major Howard brought in the little
girl, who at once coiled herself up to
sleep at Wallace's side.

GERMAN RETREAT BRINGS
NEW WORK FOR RED CROSS

In France the retreat of the German
armies and the redemption of wide ter
ritory has produced a tremendous -ex-
pansion of all Red Cross activities.
The German retreat widens the syste-
matte destruction not only Of cities
and villages. but of practically every
thing in the evacuated territory.

gees In the devastated areas and in

lages. It will be necessary to provide
also clothing, cloth and dressmaking
supplies, sewing machines, in addition
to foodstuffs and medical supplies,
throughout all this territory.

ed The treasury department has
not yet determined if the coming
loan will be the last one or not"
Alva A. Swain, publicity director
of the treasury department, selling
activities in Colorado, made the
above statement recently when
he returned from Atlantic City, N.
j., where he attended meeting of
the various district executives and
publicity men, connected with Lib,
erty Loan work.
No one yet knows how much
money is still to be raised contin-
ued Mr.. Swain. "R. c. Leffingwell
assistant secretary of the treasury.
was present and stated that al.
sums named necessarily have to be
estimates. The most discussed to
tai amount was $lS,000,0O0,000. The
next loan which will be campaigned
as late in April as possible SO as to
insure good roads, will be for be
tween five and six billion dollars.
Every district chairman present,
and expressed the thought that
the loan could be raised and
that it could be done easier than
the last one raised. Many leW
ideas on how to make the campaign
were advanced, but In the end it
was decided to stick to the old
plan OF community assessment or
allotment and to create the senthus-
iasm through newspapers, adver-
tisements and articles posters, but
tons, window stickers, moving pic
lures, auto posters, returned sol
dier speakers and public meetings.
There will be five national litho-
graph posters, but local districts
and states will be allowed to issue
printed posters 'lOcalizing the cam
paign.' Lewis B. Franklin, direct
or of War Loan organizations, was
chairman of the meeting and lin
discussing the feature of the War
Savings Stamps, stated that it was
the intention of the treasury de-
partment to put them on a more
business-like basis. He said that it
is time to stop begging people to
spend a quarter to help the Unit
ed States government. That the
stamps should be dignified through
an educational movement that will
cause them to be considered in the
investment plan"
Mr.. Swain stated that the district
chairmen were instructed to call in
their state executives Immediately
and start work on the coming cam
paign. Mr.. Swain ran over to New
York and saw a number of the
troop ships come in. "Pitiful, but
grand" was the way he expressed
it.

said. Anyone seeing those boys
