CHAPTER XIII.
My First Official Rath.

Right behind our rest billet was a
large creek about ten feet deep and
twenty feet across, and 1t was habit
of the company TO avail themselves of
an opportunity to take swim and at
the same time thoroughly wash them.
selves and their underwear when on
their own. We were having spell Of
hot weather, and these baths to us
were luxury. The Tommies would
splash around in the water and then
come out and sit In the sun and have
what they termed shirt hunt" At
first we tried to drown the "cooties," !"
but they also seemed to enjoy the bath.
One Sunday morning the whole Sec
tlon was in the creek and we were hav-
Ing gay time, when the sergeant ma
jor appeared on the scene. He came
to the edge of the creek and ordered: !:
"Come out of 1t. Get your equipment
Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1918-04-26

there were fifteen tubs (barrels sawed
in two) half full Of water. Each tub
contained piece Of laundry soap. The
sergeant informed us that we had Just
twelve minutes in which to take our
baths. Soaplng ourselves all over, we
took turns In rubbing each others
backs, then by means of garden hose,
washed the soap off. The water was
Ice cold, but felt fine.
Pretty soon a bell rang and the wa
ter was turned off. Some of the slower
ones were covered with SOAP but this
made no difference to the sergeant,
who chased us into another room,
where We lined up In front of little
window, resembling the box Office In a
theater, and received clean underwear
and towels. From here we went into
the room where we had first undressed.
Ten minutes were allowed in which to
get into our "clabber."
My pair of drawers came up to my
chin and the shirt barely reached my
diaphragm, but they were clean--no
strangers on them, so l was satisfied.
At the expiration Of the time allot-
ted We were turned out and finished
our dressing on the grass.
When all of the company had bathed
1t was case Of march back to blllets.
That march was the most uncongenial
one imagined, Just cussing and blind
ing all the way. We were covered with
white dust and felt greasy from sweat.
The woolen underwear issued was
itching like the mischief.
After eating our dinner Of stew,
which had been kept for us-it was
now four o'clock-we went into the
creek and had another bath.
If "Holy Joe" could have heard our
remarks about the divisional baths
and army red tape he would have
tainted at our wickedness. But Tom
my Is only human after all.
I just mentioned "Holy Joe" or the
chaplain In an irreverent sort of way,
but no offense was meant, as there
were some very brave men among
them.
There are so many instances of he
roic deeds performed under fire in res
cuing the wounded that It would take
several books to chronicle them, but
have to mention one instance per-
formed by chaplain. Captain Hall by
name, in the brigade on our left. be-
cause 1t particularly appealed to me.
A chaplain is not fighting man; he
is recognized as a noncombatant and
carries no arms. In charge or trench
raid the soldier gets a feeling of con-
fidence from contact with his rifle, re-
volver, or bomb he is carrying. He has
something to protect himself with,
something with which he can inflict
harm on the enemy-in other words,
he is able to get his own back.
But the chaplain is empty-handed,
and is at the mercy of the enemy IL
he encounters them, so it is doubly
brave for him to go over the top, under
fire, and bring in wounded. Also q
chaplain is not required by the kings
regulations to go over in charge, but
this one did, made three trips under

The next evening he came and
accompanied him to another house
not very far from the one in which
] had been staying and not unlike it
in appearance. 1t, too, was a sub
stantial dwellinghouse which had
been untenanted since the beginning

For perhaps two hours | sat on
that staircase musing about the pc
culiar turn in my affairs, when the
front door opened and Huyliger as
cended the stairs.
Il have brought you such of your
belongings as l still had, O'Brein,"
he said softly. The rest, as / told
you, l cannot give you. They are
no longer in my possession"
L looked through the little bunch
he handed me. 1t included my
identification disk, most of the
papers l valued, and perhaps half
of the photographs.
Il don't know what your object
is in retaining the rest of my pic

a matter of fact, the ones that are
missing were only of sentimental
value to me and you are welcome

II don't know just what you could
do, O'Brien," he declared coolly
but, as a matter of fact, the papers

Something told me the man was
lying.
See here. Huyliger," I threatened
advancing towards him, putting my
hand on his shoulder and looking
, him straight in the eye, Il want those
papers, and ! want them here before
midnight tonight. If 1 don't gel

Huyliger paled. We had no lights
in the house, but we were standing
near landing at the time and the
moonlight was streaming through a
stained glass window.
The Belgian turned on his heeI
and started to go down the stairs.

Accordingly. L said | would be

that we go the next evening.
| pointed out to him that | was
entirely without food and asked him
whether he could not arrange to
bring or send me something to eat
while l remained in the house.
Left Without Any Food
I'm sorry, O'Brien," he replied,
but I'm afraid you'll have to get
along as best you can. When |
brought YOU your breakfast this
morning l took a desperate chance.
If l had been discovered by one of
the German soldiers entering this
mouse with food in my possession,
would not have only paid the pen
atty myself, but you would have been
discovered too. 1t is too dangerous
a proposition. Why don't you go out
by yourself and buy your food at the
stores? That would give you conf
dence and you'll need plenty of it
when you continue your journey to

There was good deal of truth in
what he said and I really could not
blame him for not wanting to take

great pain to have him taken from
me-"
If the facts are correctly stated
in this letter-and it bears every
mark of sincerity can say most
emphatically that the husband can
not take the child. The wife has
nothing whatever to fear from him.
Legally he has not leg to stand on,
On tfe contrary, il is he who
sue him for the support of herself
and the child. and he could be put
in Jail if he did not pay the amount
decided upon by the court. She
would also in view of the facts be
able to secure a legal separation
from him, together with the Gus
tody of the child.
The law is .ery reluctant in any
case to take child from its
mother. 1t is only when she is
proven to be IN unfit guardian for
il and unable to give it proper care
that this is ever done.
There could be no question of
such n thing in this case, where
for years a woman has by her cwn
eXertions supported not only her
self and her child. but a worthless
husband as well.
She should refuse to be either
bullied or threatened or bothered by
him any longer.

Life'sProblems
! Are Discussed

This is the story she writes to
me:
Dear Mrs. Woodrow: | was mar
ried when / was twenty, and have
never known one happy day since
] am twenty-seven now. When
first met my husband, he seldom
worked. l tried to help him i'll ev-
cry way, (and when we were mar
ried l furnished our home. / also

ing, knowing that ] would support
him. When | was a girl l was very
philanthropic and being brought up
that way l thought it my duty to
him
l will break off my correspond
ents narrative here to say that the
bother with most of us and the
fruitful source of many of our trou-
bles is that we think with our hears
and not with our heads. Good
judgment arises from a combination
of the two. No faculty was given us
to remain unused. Having minds,
we were intended to think with
them, and to think to some purpose
in the direction of our affairs.
This girl, naturally kind d-hearted
and sympathetic. was trained in the
belief that she must always be help
ing others, which is right in prin-
clple. But there's a sane way to ap-
ply the principle and a foolish and
suicidal way. And right here we
come back to the old question, Am
! my brothers keeper ? | am not:
no one is. A higher. greater, more
omniscient power is his keeper and
mine. l am here to aid and encour-
age him in assisting himself; that
is all.

assistance. He needed a hard Jolt
He needed to be awakened to the
fact that he was a cur to ask a
woman to marry him and then allow
her to work 20 support him while
he loafed
And she, meaning to be kind and
helpful, was merely encouraging
him in his worthless, shiftless hab-
its and his determination to bene-
fit by the labor of someone else.
Suppose a mother was so anX-
ious to save her baby suffering tina.
she would carry it continually in
her arms instead of letting it stand
alone and have many a tumble
learning to walk and many loud
walls because It fell and bumped its
nose? Would the child thank her
when it came to years of discretion
Does this man thank his wife for
her sacrifices Far from it.
Her letter goes on:
After three years a child was
born. I could not go out to work.
so I had to take work in the house.
] also kept a few roomers who were
friends of my husbands When the
child was two wears old I put him in
charge of woman and went back
to business. But things got stead
lily worse and | was forced TO leave
my husband and board with my
child in order TO support the little
one

and asked me 70 take him back,
