dy. The only way to make it free
is to have friendship growing along
side it. So when I can be your part
ner and your friend, I'll be your wife
too. But not-not, Roddy, till can
find a way. I'll have to find it for
myself. I'll have to go off
She broke down over a word she
couldn't at first say, buried her face
in her arms, and let deep, racking
sob or two have their way with her.
But presently she sat erect again
and, with a supreme effort of will,
forced her voice to utter the word:
"Tve got to go off alone-away frOI1
you, and stay until find it. If I ever
do, and you want me, I'll come back"
. =
The struggle between them lasted
week-a CHASTITY week, during which,
their life flowed along in it's accus-
toned channels. But at all sorts of
times, and in all sorts of places, when
they were alone together, the great
battle was renewed.
The hardest thing about it all for
Rose-the thing that came nearest to
breaking down her cOurage-waS to
see how slowly Rodney came to realize
it at all. He was like trapped ami
NAL pacing the four sides of his cage,
confident that in a moment or two he
| would find the way out, and then, in.
credulously, dazedly, coming to the sur.
mise that there was no way out. She
really meant to go away and leave him
leave the babies; go somewhere
where his care and protection could
not reach her! She was actually plan
ming the details Of doing it! By the
end Of one of their long talks, it would
seem to her that he had grasped this
monstrous intention and accepted it
But before the beginning of the next
one, he seemed to manage, somehow
to dismiss the thing as a nightmare.
Somehow or other, during the calmel
moments toward the end, practical de
tails managed to get talked about
settled after fashion, without the ad.
mission really being made on his part
that the thing was going to happen at
all.
"rd do everything I could, of course,
to make it easier" she said. "We could
have story for people that I'd gone
to California to make mother a long
visit. We could bring Harriet home
from Washington to keep house while
was gone. I'd take my trunks, you
see, and really go. People would sus-
pect, of course, after a while, but
they'll always pretend to believe any
thing that's comfortable
"Where would you go, really?" he
demanded. "Have you any plan at
all?"
II have sort Of plan," she said. 81
think I know Of way Of earning liv-
ing"
But she didn't offer to go on and tell
him what it was, and, after little 81
lence, he commented bitterly upon this
omission.

byU. S. Flyers

With the American Army on the
Lorraine Front, Aug. 30.-(By the
associated Press) - American
bombing machines this morning
successfully attacked railway yards
and buildings at Contains. Several
direct bursts were observed and
enemy pursuit planes followed the
invading Americans back to their
lines but did not attack them
AT noon American airmen drop
ped bombs on the railway yards at
Longuyon, scoring several direct
hits. Late in the afternoon Con-
fans was again raided but poor Wis
ibility made it difficult TO ascertain
whether the bombing was effective
Enemy anti-aircraft guns were
sctiye against the. American
raiders in all three of the days ex-
cursions. All of our machines re-
turned.
One lone American aviator today
attacked a German who was diving
at French balloon. Despite the
fact that there were six German air
men above him the American forced
the German machine into a nose
dive. The six other Germans then
attacked the American and forced
him to descend. He landed behind
the American lines uninjured.
