Deserted Roads

TIME was we sang of wanderers who
L trod the open trail
And roved about the merry world by
foot or train or sail,
Who knew the wind-swept spaces and
who braved the sun and rain,
Or followed gypsy caravans by noun
tain peak or plain.
But now the roads are empty of the
blithe and restless clan,
And bats and owls are roosting in the
idle gypsy van;
For every true adventurer who never
could be still
Has joined the greatest game of all and
found keener thrill.
They're somewhere in the trenches and
they're somewhere in the air;
Oh, look along the battle line and you
will find them there,
But when the war is over and we well
come back our men,
The rovers-what are left of them
will hit the trail again!
-Berton Braley, in McClure's.

LOVE IN WAR TIME-A French Tale

fiected that all the promises which were
rlpenlng IN him were at the mercy Of
the Goddess of Mischance. Perhaps that
mouth, soft as velvet and perfumed like
mint, would be stopped with earth.
1hose big, tender eyes would reflect the
wild emptiness of mortal agony. Those
hands, meant for caresses. would orasn
Valniy Tor assistance which escaped
them.
And Lie felt that there is a sort of
egoism in cherishing ones own grief.
that one ought to be ready to dispense
JOY to those who have surrendered
everything.
so while she gazed at Roger Bernal
with smile which he took as promise
OF happiness, she said to herself:
"You are handsome, and it pleases
me to recommence with you the eternal
comedy. You shall never know that nv
heart Is stale and my soul is weary. If
call you, it is as one calls a child at
play and is astonished that it comes.
And l shall think obstinately of man
less young and less handsome l should
have chosen him, while shall only toll
crate you.
"But your youthful fervor, your faith
like that of lover who loves for the
first time, your boyish audacity are
worth the sacrifice. So be it that / give
you the illusion of love before your
youthful body perishes in glory. So be
it that people your solitude-I who
have only my books, the springtime and
my memories. do not love you. But
pity you. That is why l marry nv
useless youth to your youth doomed to
sacrifice"
New-York tribune., 1918-09-01

Lie remained plunged in thought. She
knew from we'll informed persons that
the division in which her correspondent
was fighting had suffered severely. After
that no further news came.
In her solitude, between two moments
of melancholy, she began to think of this
presumptuous youth. Although she could
not recall his face clearly, she recognized
it in dream among the faces of the
fallen.
The next day she wrote:
"Where are you, who have twice dis
turbed my thoughts? | wish, for my own
peace of mind, that nothing has happened
to you."
She was speedily reassured.
He was not dead, nor even wounded.
Lie was rejoiced. And now a certain
anxiety filled her heart.
Roger Bernal, full of assurance, con-
tinued to send her news of himself. He
had the naive faith of children who hav-
ing prayed to God at night, expect to
have their prayers answered the next
morning.
He confessed very simply: IL know
that you are too beautiful for me. But
| am made SO; l have an instinct for
New-York tribune., 1918-09-01

beauty. When 1 was boy and played
in my grandmother's orchard it was all
ways the most beautiful peach which my
eyes coveted. 1t was generally out of
reach; and | preferred to risk breaking
my neck for it rather than to content
myself with less perfect fruit, ripe and
close at hand"
Lie responded with amiably indiffer-
ent letters. One day, in order to pour a
little water on his ardor, she wrote:
II am older than you. Think of me
as big sister,"
He answered.:
ut is possible that you are older than
| am. But you have the air of a little
glrl-of little girl who is lonely and
unhappy. want to protect you. I
prefer to say right here that | do not
love you as sister,"
Lie enjoyed this frankness. In course
OF time she even surprised herself bv
opening the letters which came from the
front with something like real emotion.
In their boyishness some of them had
the charm of poems:
We are resting in the rear | have
just been walking in the garden with
my fine old hostess. l walked on tiptoe

Adventure Street

(The front line trench is called "The Street
of Adventure")
THERE is no lure in the lights of
Broadway;
There is no charm to the cabaret;
l have no joy in the glance of girl,
In the rollicking throng; in the dancers
whirl!
Where are the lads who shared with me
Drama and feast and revelry?
They have gone out with eager feet
To Adventure Street, to Adventure
Street!
Who are the men my mates find there?
Men of mettle and men of dare!
Men who have crossed the breadth of
earth
To meet with men of their stamp and
worth!
Men who are draining the wine of life
From the cup Of death at the bar of
strife
What deemed bitter, they find sweet
In Adventure Street, in Adventure
Street!
Ever and ever their call rings through
Road and foyer and rendezvous!
/ have grown sick Of the loud cafes,
OF the emptiness Of crowded ways!
will drink deep of my mates desire!
will 60 out to the gore and mire,
Warming my heart by true hearts heat
In Adventure Street, in Adventure
Street!
