FiUe Hundred Thousand
American Soldiers in France

We dare MOI delay the VICTORY now.
American lives are at stake, our own safety the safety of the
whole world. II we are not to proong the slaughter and the suffering, if
we are not to risk defeat OF a. inconc1usive peace, we must act quickly;
we must put forth our every effort now.
The army is doing it's part. Five hundred
thousand American soldiers are in France today. There will
be more tomorrow. And more the day after. We are going to send an
army large enough so that when we strike, with our Allies, We can drive
VICTORY that will make American freedom safe, and establish a just
and lasting peace:
But the whole nation must take part. Our
armies in France are looking to us to furnish them in ever
greater abundance, the ordnance, the munitions, the supplies that will
make their VICTORY possible. We must not fail them.

jacket read his purpose and laid a
OBTAINING hand upon his arm.
'It will saua our lives, too" he said
simply.
tBahl We are men. There are
women and children yonder-"
But Jackets sensibilities were cal
Ioused, 1t seemed. "Of what use would
your few pesetas be among so many"
he inquired. "God has willed this, and
he knows what he is doing. Besides,
your pretty one is probably as hun
CRY as these people. No doubt we shall
find that she, too, is starving"
O'Reilly slowly withdrew his hand
from his pocket. "Yes! It's Rosa's
money. But-come; I can't endure
this"
He led the way back to the Plaza OF
Liberty and there on an iron bench
they waited for the full day. They
were very tired, but further sleep vas
impossible, for the death wagons
rumbled by on their way to collect the
bodies of those who had died during
the night.
Neither the man nor the boy ever
wholly lost the nightmare memory Of
the next few days, for their search
took them into every part Of the recon-
centrado districts. What they beheld
aged them. Day after day, from dawn
till dark, they wandered, peering into
huts, staring into faces, asking ques-
tlons until they were faint from fatigue
and sick from disappointment.
AS time passed and they failed to
find Rosa Varona q terrible apprehen-
sion began to weigh OReilly down; his
face grew old and drawn, his shoulders
sagged, his limbs began to drag. 1t
was all that jacket could do to keep
him going. The boy, now that there
was actual need Of him, proved a per-

But you never came. You will make
allowances for her looks, will you notT''
"Poor Rosal You two poor crea-
turesp O'Reilly choked; he hid his
face upon his sweetheart's breast.
Rosa responded; her fingers caressed
him and she sighed contentedly.
0'Reilly's ascent of the hill had been
slow, but his. descent was infinitely
slower, for Rosa was so feeble that
she could help herself but little and
he lacked the strength to carry her
far at time. Finally, however, they
reached the wretched hovel where
Asensio lay, then leaving her there,
Johnnie sped on alone into the city.
He returned soon with several small
bundles concealed about his person,
and with Evangelina's help he set
about preparing food.
Neither Rosa nor the two negroes
had any appetite-their hunger had
long since passed the point at which
they were conscious of it-and O'Reilly
was compelled to force them to eat.
When he had given them all that he
dared he offered what food was left
to Jacket.
The boy moistcned his, lips and his
fingers twitched, but he shook his head.
"Oh, I'm not so hungry" he declared,
indifferently. 81 have friend in the
market place; will go down there
and steal a fish from him."
O'Rellly patted him on the shoulder,
saying: "You are good kid, and you
understand, don't you? These sick
people need more food than we can
buy for them, so we will have to draw
our belts tight"
"Of course. Eating is habit, any
bow, and we men know how to get
along without it. will manage to find
something for you and me, for I'm a
prodigious thief. 1 can steal the hair
from o mans head when 1 try" With
nod he set off to find his benefac-
tors supper.

The Haunted Garden.

Rosa Varona did not die. On the
contrary, under her lovers care she
made so amazingly swift recovery
that improvement was visible from
hour to hour; she rallied like wi3ed
flower under refreshing rain. 1t was

was sitting beside her bed Of leaves
at the time; impulsively she preased
his hands to her lips.

Where He Was.

Two blind men were walking in
street on the outskirts of the city
where there were no cement side
walks. At some places there was not
even a clearly defined path. All went
we'll, however, until one of them stray
ed away little from his companion
into an adjoining lawn. Close to the
sidewalk was small cluster of rose
bushes, which he was soon in close
relation with. After trying for time
to avoid them, he called to his COM
panion:
"Where are you?"
"Over here" answered the man on
the sidewalk. "Where are you?"
II guess I've gotten into a black
berry patch, or something" he said, as
he finally dsentangled himself and
worked his way out.

his faith never faltercd, and O'Reilly
began to feel dumb gratitude at hay

Jacket, too, became thin and gray
about the lips. But he complained not
ut all and he laughed great deal. To
him the morrow was always another
day of brilliant promise toward which
he looked with never-failing eagerness; ;
and not for single moment did he
question the ultimate success of their
endegvor. Such an example did much
for the older man. Together they
practiced the strictest, harshest econ
omy, living on few cents day, while
they methodically searched the city
from limit to limit.
At first O'Reilly concerned himself
more than little with the problem Of
escape, but as time wore on he
thought less and less about that. Nor
did he have occasion to waste further
concern regarding his disguise. That
it'was perfect he proved when several
of his former acquaintances passed
him by and when, upon one occasion,
he came face to face with old Don Ma
rio de Castano. Don Mario had
changed; he was older, his flesh had
softened, and 1t hung loosely upon his
form. He appeared worried, harassed,
and O'Reilly recalled rumors that the
war had ruined him. The mans air
of detection seemed to bear out the
story.
They had been enemies, nevertheless
O'Reilly felt sudden impulse to make
himself known to the Spaniard and to
appeal directly for news of Rosa's fate
But Don Mario, he remembered in time
had reputation for vindictiveness, sc
he smothered the desire. One Other
