daughter. Her husband was in the army
and Suzanne and the two children lived with
Madame Journet in the cellar.

to live.
Then came, little Pierre with the awful
news-the Huns had taken the COW and he
goat. After that the children cried much
from hunger.
Next the poilus drove out the Hun. and
things were perhaps little better; but with
no cow and no goat they were always near to
sta,vation-a and the future seemed to hold no
hope
No hope save the American Red Gross.
One day it came-a little motor car with
