lHE BACHELOR-A French War Story
years BY EDMOND JALOUX

NOR more than twenty years
1t Christophe Maugreard had talk
f. en- his meals in the same little
restaurant in the Rue lvienne,
near the Ministry of Public Recreations.
IN which he was bureau chief He
was man already growing gray, austerc
In appearance and with the habit of
contracting his face to make people
believe that he was thinking deeply
about something But that was an err
ror. M. Maugreard never thought
about anything
He passed for an egost because he
had never married. He had, however,
IN his youth loved friend from child
hood, whose name was Rose Clapellet.
But Rose Clapellet had married lieu
tenant of hussars. This mishap had not
overwhelmed M. Maugreard with an in
appeasable and romantic sorrow. Never
theless, since he had always dreamed
of living with Nile Rose Clapellet and
all idea of marriage.
He had lived a life without either
JOY or sadness. He attended to cur
rent business in the Ministry of Public
Recreations, which is celebrated all over
France for the soporific energy which
1t devotes to the enterprises which it
has in hand. On Sundays he went to
cabarets. He didn't care much for those
places, because he couldn't understand
a quarter of the pleasantries and al
lusions which the performers dealt in.
But it seemed to him that he was par
ticipatng there in the luxures and pleas
ures of the life of man about town.
SO his existence ran along unconscously
and uneventfully.
One day the war came. 1t was an
unexpected upset in the life of NJ Mau-
greard. Such an event compelled him
to think. There was then something in
New-York tribune., 1918-09-29

things.

being allotted to the men of the S. O. s.,
but not as much as formerly. The de-

When, months ago, Americans first
began to flock into a certain S. O. S.
city, the populace wondered how long
they were going to stay. They intimat-
ed, very politely, that the front was some
distance further to the north and east
But now that the Yanks have come and
are giving good account of them
selves, Americans enjoy no greater
popularity anywhere in France. Go into

slasm, the American communioue.

The son left the hospital at last and
had convalescent's furlough of some
days, during which time Nine. Cornil-
leau didn't appear at the restaurant
And M. Maugreard grew depressed at
that, as if he had suddenly lost some
thing out of his life.
When Pierre Cornlleau returned to
the front NJ. Maugreard BOUGHT box

Cornilleau invited her neighbor to take
breakfast with them in her little apart

gazed at her big boy with ecstasy. When
they cllnked glasses M. Maugreard had
tears IN his eyes. 1t seemed to him that

the World--a vast community of re-
membranes, hopes and labors-which
interested him more than his own iso-
lated destiny. In this vast disturbance
he became conscious of a new force. He
followed with dread the enerny's march
on Parls, which seemed to be irresistible.
He wept with JOY when the black eagle
broke its wings on the Marne and began
to retire, dragging them behind him, but
still threatening the pursuers with his
voracious beak. Then followed a period
of agony in France, for everywhere, Of
ten after weeks painful travel, the
wounded began to flow back toward the
south. NJ. Maugreard felt a great
weight about his heart-a great void of
anguish.
Al the restaurant in the Rue Vivienne
one day he heard at the next table a
conversation which made great i'm
preston on him. A lady of about fifty
years, with white hair, who must once
have been beautiful and who still showed
in her faded face certain depth of

DR.. Ralph Leftwch, in the course Of
address before the Urban Club of London,

the budding dramatists handwriting and
to have adduced eighteen pieces of evidence
to show that the calamity befell about the
year 1911, when Shakespeare's last play,
The Tempest was being put the stage.
The newspaper report does not say what
kind of evidence it was that DR.. Leftwich
submitted, and we must take his word for
the truth of the alleged facts.
But in accepting his word we confess to
a frankly churlish spirit. Must we embit-

A &. Cooley, of the state agricul-
tural college, who was instrumental
in signing up this county and also
in the securing of Prof. Heyman as
our farm man. The latter is pc.
culiarly qualified to hold the Luna
county job, which requires an expert
on irrigation by pumping. lie has
had several years of first hand ex.
perience in that line, which should
make him far more valuable to the
farmers Of this county than some
theorist drawn at haphalard. Prof.
Cooley remained here till Thursday
helping to get Prof. Heyman installed
on the job.
The agents office will be at the
court house, and he will he open at
all times to hear the troubles Of
farmers from all parts of the county.
He is practical farmer as well as
an expert on the theories Of agricul-
ture. Besides having made a spe-
cial study Of the pumping question

tomato culture and canning, very val.
liable experience for one who is to
advise Luna county farmers on their
every day problems. For the past
year Prof. Heyman has been presi-
dent Of the Rio Grande Industrial
School at Albuquerque.
According 10 the contract made by
the county with the state, through
the agricultural college, Prof. Hey

having had time 10 levy an assess
