and what he had said to them. We
knew Mr.. Gerard had got the Germans
TO make conditions better In some Of
the worst hell-holes in Germany and
the men were always glad when he
came around. They felt they had some
thing better to look forward to and
some relief from the awful misery.
Mr.. Gerard was passing through the
French barracks and q man l knew
there told him there was an American
there. The Germans did not want him
to see me, but he put up an argument
with the commanding officer and they
finally said he could interview me. l
never was so glad to see anyone as
l was to see him. The picture is still
with me of him coming in the door.
We talked for about an hour and a
half, / guess, and then lie got up TO
go and he said / would hear from him
In about three weeks. Just think what
good news that was to me

matter what nationality, and put his
heart into the work. | an n OF

things about him. Like many others,
if it had not been for Mr.. Gerard l

A few days after this I was slow
again as we were marching to the
bread house and the guard at the door
tripped me. When l fell I hurt my
wounds, which made me hot. Now I
had decided, on thinking 1t over, that

Tales by. Gals,Uorthy

John Galsworthy has written no grim
mer story than THE First and Last, "
which opens his new volume of Five
Tales" 1t is a study Of the conscience
of a perfectly respectable lawyer. His
wastrel brother has killed a man. An
other man Is convicted Of the crime and
sentenced to death. There is only cir
cumstantial evidence against him The
wastrel has -. confessed and asked his
brother to help him out. The brother
gives him money to flee the country. In
stead of fleeing. he remains in London
with the woman in a quarrel over whom
the murder had been done. The lawyer
knows it il his duty to prevent the
execution of an innocent man: but he
knows also that IL he does so, his repu-
tation will be damaged through his kim
ship to the real murderer. 1t is very
pretty question to put to the honor of
a self-respecting, rising member of the
bar. and its answer will test his moral
stamina to the utmost. The tale ends
in a way to leave the reader in no doubt
about Mr. Galsworthy's view of the rel
ative honor of the successful brother
and the wastrel
There are other stories In the volume,
each told with an insight into human
motives which makes Mr.. Galsworthy
one of the distinguished writer's Of fic-
ton of his generation.
