thing had been spoiled by rain and

One OF the rooms must have been

articles Of feminine apparel. 1 took

several pipes and "a pair of slippers
and q torn nightrobe. Back OF this
room vas a sort OF conservatory; II
had been a pretty place once. but was
that no longer. All the glass was
broken and the flower pots and boxes
lay pell-mell on tho floor, with every
plant in them dead. We examined
the rooms on tho ground floor and
found that Tommie had been there
before US. In tho kitchen we made
a haul, however. We got a lot of
dishes, three cut glass fruit platters,
two soup tureens, some silver knives
and forks and two kitchen chairs.
Then we went to tho wine cellar. but
not a drop did we find. A lot Of
empties gave evidence that some
body had had a good time in that
cellar. On leaving the house ] spled

we heard a dull boom in the distance.
and a few seconds later a big she'll
%screeched over US and exploded a
block away.
The ruins OF Ypres were a striking
sight. II rather broke us up 70 see

what would happen to Heinie aloft,

THE RED CROSS MAN
By AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR
OF the ViqIlantes.


Broken with pain and WEAKNESS
And sapped with vile disease
Back to the land of ruined towns,
OF murdered men and trees,
Through Switzerland from Germany
The trains of wreckage ram
And on the French frontier they found
A Red Cross Man.
And when to what had once been home
Those haggard exiles came,
Young wheat was green above the scars
OF steel and blood and fame
Round new built houses where once more
The work of life began.
And still they found to welcome them
A Red Cross Man.
There the husband clasped again
The wife he mourned as dead
The child was on its mothers breast,
The old were comforted.
What wonder if they hope to find
Tae Angel of Gods Plan
Who meets them at the heavenly gate
A Red Cross Mani
