She is safe with Gods dear angels.

Though the good Lord took her from us,

CHAPTER xI.

By evening the rush of work had
died down, and the orderlies, save
those on duty, were given the custO-
mary leave.
Leave meant Etaples, with its COM
Portable little inn, the chatty landlady
and her pretty daughter.
Mark strobe toward Etaples. He
had an intense longing for the lights
and comfort of the little inn. But he
had not gone more than a hundred
PAGES when Hartley hailed him.
"Going into Etaplesf' he asked. "Do
you mind my going with you?"
Cranky, yes, Hartley" answered
Mark. "You won't mind my saying
so? / want to be alone after"
81 know, old man." said Hartley,
drawing back. "Sorry If bothered
you"
But Mark swung round on him.
"Hartley, answer me one question" he
said. "What has Miss Howard ever
had to do with you? Why have you
been watching her for six or seven
yearsY
Hartley began to walk along the
road at Marks side. He made curl
Gus gulping sound before he answered.
"Has it occurred to you, Mark, that
the Henson woman has been operating
in Washington for a good time nowY'
he asked.
81 suppose So" Mark answered.
"You know everything was prepared
for years before the war began. The
system had qualifications In every de-
partment of the government. You know
Colonel Howard was In touch with it
as far back as the Cuban war;"

CHAPTER x.

"Westoni Hey, thereT"
Mark, who was sitting at the en-
trance of the tent which he shared
with five other privates of the Medical
corps, looked up at the sound Of the
name to which he had grown accus-
toned. At the sight of the corporal
who had hailed him, he flung down the
grooyed strip Of metal, kc6Tn az the
soldiers friend" with the aid of
which he had been polishing his but
tons, and hurried obediently forward.
"The trains in from the base with
the sisters and doctors to meet the
convoy that we're expecting from the
front. Every mans on duty until the
jobs finished. Report to the matron
with Hartley"
Mark nodded, and departed at a run
toward the door of the base hospital,
at which the matron, fidgeting impa-
iently, was awaiting the assembling
of the orderlies.
1t was war, and the echoes of the
far distant guns were all about them
daily, though war had never passed
tnat way.
Under the name of Weston, Mark
had enlisted In the medical branch of
the service. 1t was a lowly branch,
despised by those who knew nothing
of its activities. But the choice had
been between that and nothing, for the
first fighting contingents to be sent
overseas embraced only the regulars,
not those of the draft. Mark had en-
listed rather than wait, especially since
he knew that Colonel Howard, with
Kellerman and his staff, were already
In France.
And somewhere within few square
miles was the base of the American
activities, the headquarters from which
the mobilization In France was being

tors and nurses was coming up the
stairs. They were all ready for their

but the wounded men. Dripping with
perspiration, he hurried from the ward
to the pack store and back, innumer-
able times, struggling under great
piles of towels and bedding.
"Must have been a stiff fight" pant
ed Hartley, as they passed each other,
Mark responded with movement OF
the head. 1t must have been a fight
to have brought all those serious
cases down to the base hospital.

The nurse who addressed him spoke

was sponging his forehead.

"Where was it?"
Mark started and looked into the
quizzical gray eyes of one of the army

he had dined at the mess.

answered quietly.

thought, as he turned to his work.
There were three more operations
following, and Mark sighed with relief
as the last man was carried away. He
took scrubbing brush and bar OF
soap and kneeled down to clean the
floor, while his fellow attendant
secured the splashed table and carried
away the towels.
Mark was conscious that the nurse
still fingered, and he went on with
his scrubbing. Somehow he did moi
want to meet her eyes.

She put out her hands blindly. "Oh

wretched trick on him just then.
'Why, Captain Mark! Why-why

who have received news of the death OF
her son, Private Walter Squirting, of the

born in Gouldsboro Sept. IL, 1887. AS a
young man he enlisted in the U. S. army,
where he served for nine years, after
which he came home for few weeks
with his mother. The remainder of his
life was spent in the Panama Canal Zone,
Fort Riley, Kan, and Alaska, until his
enlistment in the British forces Sept. 4,

He leaves besides his mother, one sister,
Mrs. c. c. Ames of South Portland, and
