around you'll know it's not the wolves.
Say, it was some welcome surprise to
find a fire when 1 came in. Thought
first somebody travelling through had
put up. Then 1 saw those slippers ly-
ing there. That was sure making me
take notice when you stepped out"
He chuckled at the recollection.
Hazel lit the lamp, and stirred up the
fire, plying it with wood. Then she
slipped a heavy bathrobe over her
nightgown and went into the chilly
kitchen, emerging therefrOm presently
with a tray of food and a kettle of wa
te: to make coffee. This she set on the
fire. Wherever she moved Bills eyes
followed her with a CLEAN of joy, tine
tured with smiling incredulousness.
When the kettle was safely bestowed
on the Goals, he drew her on his knee.
There for Il minute she perched in rich
content. Then she rose.
Come very quietly with me, Bill"
she whispered, with a fine air of mys-
terry. 81 want to show you something"
Sure! What is it," he asked.
Come and see," she smiled, and
took up the lamp. Bill followed obedi-
emily.
Close up beside her bed stood a
small, square crib. Hazel set the lamp
on a table and, turning to the bundle
of blankets which filed this new piece
of furniture, drew back n corner, re-
vealing a round, puckered-up infant
face.
"For the love of Nike Bill NUT
tered. rs it's it"
Its our son." she whispered proud
". Born the tenth of January
three weeks ago today. Don't, don't
you great bear-youIl wake him."
For Bill was bending down to peer
at the tiny morsel of humanity, with a
strange, abashed smile on his face, his
big, clumsy fingers touching the soft,
pink cheeks. And when he stood up
he drew a long breath, and laid one
arm across her shoulders.
"Us two and the kid" he said whim-
sically. 1T should be the hardest COM
bination in the world to bust. Are you
happy, little person?"
She nodded, clinging to him, word
Iessly happy. And presently she COW
cred the baby's face, and they went
back to sit before the great fireplace
where the kettle dubbed cheerfully
and the cracking blaze sent forth its
challenge to the bevy of frost sprites
that held high revel outside.
And, after a time, the blaze died tt
a heap of glowing embers, and the
forerunning wind of a northeast storm
soughed and whistled about a house
deep wrapped in contented slumber, {
house no longer divided against Itself

First Colonial General Hospital.

Ministerina ANGEL.

To the sick man the divine reveals
itself in many way; it fills his sick
room. He does not ask that angels
shall minister to him, for woman's
hands smooth his pillow, bring him a
marvellous beverage called milk, and a
delicate, transparent, glittering mass
of bubbles that dance in rainbow col
ors within the tumbler. This am
hrosia the prosaic nurse calls whipped
up white of egg, as if by mere words
she could exercise the spirit of poetry.
Poetry invades the sickroom, it sings
in the sunbeams, it leaps with the
leaping flames of the fire and snuggles
in the bosom of the rose. Poetry is
but the harbinger of the divine, and
both express themselves in the human
voice. If the forces of life can take
the dust of the earth and compound it
into Il woman's hands, and that mira
Gle does not convince us that the
forces of life are divine, then no Others

the great German machine will

Where previously the Germans hae

them pay an unheardof price for cv-
