That in her hand she held a telegram.
And in her eyes-her brown and
wondrous eyes

She sighed. And then with all her

She lowered her head and sobbed-a
faint
Inaudible sob that seemed to shake
Heaven With its restrained intensity.
And still they passed her by, nor
To question, in the midday light of
Her cause of grief. and the sad
misery that was hers.
Newsboys, and clerks, and women
with
Rustling skirts and all the train of
Fashion and color of red and pink and
Blue were all the same to her-mov-
ing
Or standing still she saw naught but
Blurred streams of colorless bodies
In soundless trance of grief.
And then she raised her head
With new resolve of bravery that was
his.
- newsboys, and clerks, and
women with
Rustling skirts-and then a uniform.
She lowered her head and the thing
That was sigh, a sob-restrained
And mannerly, was sharp and piteous.
She stands, a girl of twenty. no longer
Upon the curb. But one, among the
hundreds

A thousand dollar bond
