And for dessert we had a sugarless, lardless whole wheat flour tart, It puckcred his mouth like a persimmon. It fell to me to explain to MT. H. c Wells, who gave the luncheon, that Henry had just come from the continent, where he had scorned the food, and one could sec from the twinkle in MT Wells eyes that he was going to put Henry in book And he certainly was a hero during those London days-the hero of a great disillusion Of course the British cooking was good The English ing their best; but Henry's picture of the great boar's head triumphantly borne into the hall on the shoulders of four stout buffers. and his notion of the blazing plum pudding as large as a hassock. and his preconceived idea of England as Dickens fat boy forever stuffing and going to sleep again, had to be entirely revised. For if the English are proud of the way they conceal the bitterness. of their sorrow in this war. also they have a rificing their creature comforts for it. In Latin countries there is more or less special privilege. But in England the law is the law and men glory in 1 it's rigours by obeying it in proud self sacrifice.

 Henry And Me"

 England He Had Read About Gone.
 But other things have disappeared from Great Britain since war began, and Henry was doomed to walk the island vainly looking for tbe famed foods of old England. All through Italy and France. where onion soup and various pastes were served to us, Henry ate them, but in a fond hope that when we got to Englond he would have some of the superior comesti- bles' which a true lover of Dickens had a right to expect. The French were given to ragoutS and Latin trans lations of Mulligan stews, and praised veal smothered in onions and carrots and a lot of staple and fancy green groceries. and these messed dishes irrl- tated Henry He is the kind of an old fashioned man who likes to take his food straight. If he eats onions, he demands that they shall be called onions, or if they serve him carrots, he must know specifically that he is eating carrots, and he wants his pota- toes. mashed. baked. boiled or fried and no nonsense about it. Similarly he wants his veal served by itself. and when they bring him smoking brown casserole of Drowned vegetables, Drowned gravy and Drowned meat, he pokes his fork into it. sniffs. another cat mess" pushes it aside and asks for eatable food! So all over the conti- nent he was bragging about what he was going to do to the roast beef of old England.' and was getting ready for Yorkshire pudding with it. It was sweet to hear Henry's honest bark at spaghetti and fish salads, bay deep mouthed welcome to Sam Weller s '''am and veal pie" and Pickwick' s ''chops and tomato sauce.' and David Copperfield's tosated mullins, as we drew near the chalk cliffs of England. Also he was going to find what an Feel pie was, and he had a dozen Dickensonian dishes that he proposed to explore, dishes whose very names would make a wooden Indians mouth water But when he got there the cup board was bare. England was going on rations. Fats were scarce, sugars were rare. starches were controlled by the food board. And who could make currant tart without these? He dropped two bullet sized brown bis cults with a hazelnut of butter under his vest the first three minutes of our first breakfast and asked for an other round, after he had taken mine | That's your allowance. sir" said the waitress, and money would buy nc | more.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
The Question of Intelligibility The Editor Arizona Republican,

l Phoenix, Arizona.
 My dear Sir:
 Lacking a legal training. and recog- nizing the fact that the question raised about the eligibility of MT. Colter for the office of governor is merely a TO- litical question. in other words a sort of. gas attack, I wish to present to you and the people of Arizona, for their consideration, a statement of how the constitution reads and how others would like to have it read.
 Section reads: No member of the legislature, during the term FOR which he shall have been elected, shall be ap- pointed or elected TO any civil office" etc.
 MT. Golfers opponents try to believe the constitution reads No member of the legislature, during the term for which he shall have been elected. shall be appointed or elected FOR any civil office" etc.
 MT. Colter will be elected FOR the office of governor at the next election in November. He will be elected TO the office of governor on January s, 1919. He will not be elected TO this office during the present term because the office is not vacant during his piSSeub ltlIl Ile IS 6leCteu V lilC Ol- flee when the office is vacant. The office becomes vacant when the term FOR which he was elected in the leg iSlature has expired.
 This distinction is made in the con- stitution and is not mine. Had the con- stitution read No member of the leg islature, during the term TO which he shall have been elected" shall be ap- pointed or elected TO any civil office, = etc. a member of the legislature might resign and accept an office created during the present term FOR which he was elected TO indicates possessio l. Our laws provide that our officials hold office until their successors have been elected or appointed and qualified A member of the present legisla ture might resign the office TO which he | was elected and his successor having been appointed and having qualified the balance of the term does not belong TO him and the term TO which he was elected expired when he was succeede1 l But the law reads FOR which he was elected, so that a member of the ,eg- islature cannot hold an office during the two years FOR which he wa. elected even though by resignation the term has ceased to belong to him TC and FOR are not synonyms.
 The legislature has construed the

And like Stephen BlackpoOl in Dickens Hard Times" about all we could make of it was that it was mess.

Fol change always fo;- lows var.
 Orderly English Life.
 Yet life, in spite of the current of war twisting so many things askew, does proceed in England calmly, and in something like order AS we looked back upon our London experience it seemed to Henry and me that We were ,urrying from luncheons to teas and teas to dinners and from dinners to the second act of good shows all the time. | For in London we had no Red Cross | duties. We were on. our way home, and people were kind to us. and best of all we could speak the language-after fashion-and understand in a gen eral way what was going on. We had dined at two American embassies on | the continent and had worn our tail coats. Of course Red Cross uniforms were proper evening regalia at any social function. But someway a fan nel shirt and a four-in-h hand tie-even a khaki colored tie. did not seem to | Henry and me de rigueur. We weren t raised that way and we couldn't come to it. So We wore our tails. We noticed in France and Italy that other men wore dinner coats. and We bemoaned our stupidity in bringing our tails and leaving our dinner coats in New York We fancied in our blindness that on the continent no one noticed the diff ference. But in England. there doubt disappeared. Whenever we went 10 an English dinner. in our tails, some English ladyship through a lorgnettc or a spyglass of some kind gave us the oncc-over with tho rough blade of her social disapproval and we felt like prize boobs suddenly kidnapped from a tackv party and dropped into a grand ball. But we couldn't help it. How should we have known. without our wives to pack our trunks for us in New York, that tails had atrophied in

 Trouble With Who's Who.

We. however. had some trouble with hos Who. One evening they sat me opposite a handsome military man who talked of airships and things most wonderfully and it tooz me three days to learn that he was the authority on air fighting in Europe. He was lord of somewhere, and earl of something and duke of somewhat-all rolled into one. Henry booted at me for two days. But finally he gave me some comfort At least" he said, you are as well known in London as your dukes mixture is in Emporia, and Lon- don is a bigger towni" Then it came Henry's turn. At our very grandest dinner they sat Henry between Lord Bryce and one of the most distln- guished men of the contemporary Eng fish letters. Henry shone that night as he never shone before. and when Henry turns on his talk he is a wizard. Mere dith Nicholson, who has heard Henry talk at a dinner in a recent number of Scribner's Magazine said of him: Hes the best talker I've ever heard. It was delightful to listen to discourse so free, so graphic in its character ization. so colored and favored with the very soil" and that night at the English diniser all of Henry's cylin- ders were hitting and he took every grade without changing gears. But my eyes were eager for the man on Henry's right. He told some stories: my neck craned toward them. Henry returned the Scotch stories with Kan sas stories and held the table.

 CHAPTER VIII. In Which We Discover "A New Heaven
 and A New Earth"
 Finally our talk left the war and its meaning, and we fell to wondering how the young doctors hand was coming on, and We thought of the eager soul, too. standing so wistfully between love and death and the picture of the young doctor sitting in the garden among the flowers of early autumn, more poet than soldier or doctor, came to both of us as we talked and then Henry stopped to the floor and picked up two folded sheets of paper Clearly they had dropped from the envelope sent to us by the Eager Soul. He opened one and remarked
 Why. Bill. it's poetry. She's writ ten here on the margin. Verses by our doctor friend. I thought you'd like to see them. See other sheet for melody to suit. It was the melody he tried to whistle that night. He wrote them for me to fit the doctors words Then Henry unfolded the other sheet; and there, sure enough, was the air, evidently copied by the girl from the melody written by the Gilded Youth. And clearly it was the theme of the Tschaicovski melody from the first movement of the sixth symphony, that dominated the air. The fine thorough bred nerve of him, trying to signal that air back to her. and to play the game of courage to us Henry read the verses; they were headed "A Sol diers Song" They were very much such rhymes as we wrote when we were young. They ran: A Soldiers Song. Love, though these hands, that rest in thine so dear.
 Back into dust may crumble with the year;
 Love. though these lips, that meet thy lips so true,

 It shall be always, always-thinei Love, though our dreams shall have
