took one step toward the child and
then halted. He was a stranger to his
own flesh and blood.
The child hid behind the skirts Of
the nurse, peering out In fright. Un-
dOubtedly her mother had told her
many times during the Boche occupa-
ton that men in uniform were bad
and that she must avoid them.
The horizon blue uniform of France
meant nothing to this tot The half
blind eyes Of the old nurse had recOg-
nized her master, and she held out her
hands to him, repeating Monsieur
Monsieur !" in ecstasy. He crossed the
road and grasped her hands, but the
baby drew back still farther.
A door opened at the end Of long
hall and comely young matrOn came
through to see what was going on.
When half way down the hall she
caught sight of her husband. She
stopped, her hand flew to her breast,
and she swayed for a second as though
about to fall. With a sobbing cry Of
Joy she hurled herself into his drms.

THE REAL THING
Mars Stages Strange Situations
Produced by Open Fighting
at Front.
REUNION IN FRENCH HOME
officer Returns After Four Years Of
Hun Occupation to Wife and to
Little Girl He Has Never
Seen,

Mons.-The open warfare which
was conducted by the allied forces in
Flanders over long stretches of inhab-
tied territory along the northern bat
tlefront produced strange situations
which were far reach from the trench
fighting, which marked the greater
part of the war.
The correspondent was motoring
along the highway leading to the re-
Gently freed city Of Denain when a
for ride. AS soon as the car started
he leaned out and began to inspect the
surroundings eagerly. Occasionally he
would wave to civilians and shout
greetings.
Asked If helived In the vicinity, the
officer said that his home was in De-
main, where four years ago he left his
wife to join the colors. Just after his
departure his first child, a daughter,
was born. Then came the German Oc-
cupation, cutting off his loved ones.
Now he was going back after these
long years to his wife and the baby he
had never seen.
He was visibly wrought up to the
highest pitch, as well he might be. 1t
was quite possible he might find his
family dead or gone and his home in
ruins.
Entering the city the officer directed
the correspondent toward his home,
through streets showing the cruel
marks Of the invaders hate. Turning
into his street, the first house was in
ruins. He gave a nervous start, but
said nothing. A few doors farther on
was his home, and the car stopped
across the street from 1t. The officer
climbed out slowly and with an effort,
his eyes fixed on the place.
Afraid Of Her Father.
There were no signs Of life. The
windows were shuttered and on the
door was a sign showing that German
officers had been living there. Crossing
the street, the officer pulled the bell
with shaking hand. No one answered,
He backed away like man In a trance
and leaned against the car, trembling.
Suddenly the door opened and an
aged woman servant appeared In an
swer to the bell. She was leading by
the hand beautiful baby girl with a
wealth Of golden curlsl The officer
