Dear Mother.
As this is Sunday and have time
I win try and answer your letter
OF October 1s. am we'll and feel
ing fine. We we're relieved on the
10th OF October, the day after you
wrote. We we're on the march about
six days going south, arriving at a
small town where we are now sta
toned. We were relieved in the eve
ming and we biked that, night and
until noon the next day without
stopping. That brought us far out
Of ahelI fire. Then we rested in the
woods that afternoon and all the next
day before we resumed the march.
We started drilling and the Compa-
nies we're filled up by requirements,
getting ready 20 20 back in the lines
again. but we were only in reserve
about two days when Germany ac-
cepted the peace terms. We we're
right back OF the heavy artillery
when they ceased firing. ! suppose
you have read all about Il in the
papers by this time. The Allies sent
over garage up until the nth
hour OF the 18th day OF the ilth
month OF 1918. and then all was still.
Then the message came that the war
was over. and that night thousand
little camp fires burned In the woods,
tho FIRST time the nres we're allowed
since we we're In France.

ster's mind, but thought best to let
him come to his own conclusion. The
boy fumbled his cap nervously while he
considered the great question, and at
length looked up suddenly into the
surgeons face. There was no doubt or
uncertainty in his face or tone as he
announced his decision.
Doc, the only thing I've got in the
world is me corner down by the foun-
tain, where me and Pete sells papes
can't give you all that, for | wouldn't
have nuthln' left for me and Pete to live
on and to help with the kids. I'll tell
you. what I'll do, doc, I'll let you have

dough left, but you won't make no

"All right, Tom; I'll accent that
proposition, and we'll draw up the
agreement right now. Let's see. this is
December eighteenth We'Il start the
new arrangement beginning with Janu-
ary first"
In the course of quarter of an hour
the paper was duly prepared and signed
and witnessed, and Tom saw the doctor
flle 1t carefully in the strong box in his
safe. With a hearty handshake. the
surgeon bade adieu to his ten-year-oId
man OF affairs, and turned to patient
waiting IN the outer office.
Tom Mcclure had known all too
little OF happiness in his hard ten years.
but this was surely the climax Of his
earthly bliss. A new leg for Petei

Now, Doc, on the level, how much do

ton" There was merry twinkle in
the. doctors eye that was lost on his
little visitor.
"Aw, say, doc, wot yer givin' me?
You didn't make all that in one day."
Yes, in two hours, Tom"
The youngsters eyes filled with tears.
and he bit bis lip to hold back the sohs
Don't you never charge no less?"
the boy managed to ask, without giving
way to the burst of tears ready to flow at
his disappointment
Oh, yes, indeed but YOU asked me
how much l received for an operation
like last weeks, and ] never performed
one Just like that before 1t was very
delicate and peculiar"
Tom slid out OF the chair as if to 90.
Il guess it's all off, doc amt in your
class"
Tom, sit down there" The doctors
tone OF command was filed with more
laughter than severity. "Let's talk
business"
The youngster obeyed, watching the
eminent surgeon with puzzled look,
uncertain whether the great man was
really In fun or in earnest.

"You know Pete?" Tom gasped in
amazement
Yes, | have seen him down by the
fountain at the square You know we
specialists always keep our eyes open for
anything in our line, so l have noticed
him several times as | passed the
corner. OF course, | can't say positively
but | think an operation will give Pete
two legs instead of one. Now, how
much can you afford to pay for such an
operation?"
;. The youngsters eyes shone like two
live Goals. So the doctor knew Pete
and thought he could cure him! Was
1T a dream? Tom pinched himself to
make sure It was ali real Yes, he was
awake all right. How much could he
afford? He felt he could afford anv-
thing to give Pete new leg, but how
little that was compared with what the
doctor would expect Both sat in
silence for over minute The surgeon
knew what was going on in the young
