Mrs. Britt.
BY MAMMALIAN FOSTER
OF the viaiIantes.

His picture was in the locket she
wore. Every half hour she would stop
her work to look at it. Sometimes, her
face wistful, she would show 1t to the
other workers, yoicing the anguish that
with every waking breath she drew
twanged hollowly in.her mothers heart.
One afternoon Mrs. Farlow's oldest
daughter came hurrying in. Her face
was white. She had just learned that
the Rainbow division had been ordered
overseas.
Mrs. Farlow rose, her face tragic.
One glance she gave about her, then
she collapsed, sinking to the floor. In
her fall she overturned huge pile of
antiseptic gauze just torn into squares
for Triangulars No. 13.
The room instantly was In confu-
sion. Instantly every one sprang to
the mothers aid-that is. every one
but Mrs. Britt. She rose and rescued
the bandages under foot. Then, her
face hard as nails, grimly Mrs. Britt
went back to her work. When Mrs.
Farlow, still stricken, was led away to
her car outside the drab figure in the
corner was plugging away as mechan-
ically and methodically as ever. The
one glance she threw over her shoul.
der at the weeping woman was almost
contemptuous.
A hard woman, Mrs. Britt; a heart

For days nothing was seen at the
auxiliary of Mrs. Farlow. 1t was un-
derstood that in her grief and appre-
hension she was III in bed. Then one
afternoon, pallid and qulvering, she
came in at the door. She smiled visit
fully when the others gathered about
her. Let me work." she appealed
plaintively. "Work may help me not
to think"
Her Bandages Worthless.
She took q bandage and tried to
sew. She made poor work ofit, how
ever. Then her head sank on her
breast and the bandage slipped from
her hands II can't-oh, cant |" she
wept.
Once more she was led away.
The same thing happened three or
four days later. A week later the
mother wandered In again. BY now
the first of the troops were in the
trenches, and her pale. transparent
face was like wraith's. She took a
bandage; she tried to sew, and for a
third time Mrs. Farlow gave In.
"Oh. my boy, my boy |" she walled.
The next instant face was thrust
into hers. The face was Mrs. Britt's,
and the hard, bony visage was quiver-
Ing with III concealed anger and con.
teEipt
"Sit down stop It'll" said Mrs
Britt With one hand she thrust Mrs.

After Yankee Money.
"The natives here cater to American
trade more than any other because
our men have plenty Of money to
spend and are anxious to get rid Of 1t.
Every week after pay day, the prices
go up about ten per cent and then drop
back to the regular American price for
three weeks. A Frenchman can buy
anything from glass Of beer to an
automobile at a price at least q fourth
cheaper than an American. The en-
listed man Of the American troops can
buy things cheaper than an officer. It
runs against the grain at times. but
we always let the poor devils have 1t
because they certainly need it. I
really don't believe they knew what
business was until our men came over
here.
I'VE have our commissary depot
here and are able to buy American
tobacco In limited quantities and a

can buy when the place isn't closed up
