AT OUR HOUSE
Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead Learn About the
Red Cross. III.
Red cross.
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS

We have talked it over at our
house. Talked it over as we have
never talked it over before. We did
not want Eyes O'Blue to know about
it, nor did we want to lay any part
of the worlds heavy burden upon
the head of Touslehead. We have
taught them that the world is a good
and beautiful place, but last night
gathered beneath the light in the
humble little parlor at our house
we talked it over between us. Eyes
OBIue and Touslehead were told
that, while the world is good, it is
not all good; that there are men
who have started out to enslave the
world and who in the furtherance of
that ambition have done awful
things,
Gradually as the tale was told they
drew nearer until we sat with our
arms about them. We told them of
hands hacked from baby wrists, OF
death rained from the sky upon
helpless little ones, Of murder rising
from the seas green deeps to feed
upon helpless mothers and babies.
And then we told them how these
splendid soldier boys we see every
day are going to the far front to
fight and, if need be- die to keep
this horror from our land. We told
them of burns and wounds and suf-
fering.
And then-we told them OF the Red
