A STORY OF EARLY Welded LIFE
Terry Finishes the Story of the Death
of Betty's Husband and His
-.-. Own Actions

whether Betty had recovered con.

whether her wounded Tommy had

oufiaged her hiding place so well
that my men couldn't find il. And
there was nothing to do-then."
Terry smiled wryly, lifted his
hand wearily to his eyes again, and
then went on quickly, as if in a
great rush to be done with his story:
"At dark the firing ceased. got
to my brigade commander with the
story-or enough of it. And he
sent me out with two men. We
found her at dawn-dead I thought.
We took her to the dressing sta

she opened her eyes and whispered
his name again."-

Betty avoided me- But the Tommy
had seen it all from the ambulance,
and he told the nurses and the
nurses told her. So, then. she
seemed to think she owed her life
to me, and was grateful. But
when l told her how l felt, she
went all to pieces and made me
promise never TO. speak Of it again.
I've kept my word. We've never
said a word about our meeting and
how she called me 'Atherton'"
Terry's voice trailed off. He was
ghost-ridden, as Jim had said. And
Betty, she was ghost-ridden. too.

through long moments Of silence,

again into his relaxed position,
with his arms hanging low and his

recalled him to his story.
And the name she called as she

foot of the hill?i 1 asked.
Terry parted his lips. A short
sigh came from between them, and
then shut them and frightened his
relaxed jaw before he opened his
lips again to speak in a low, firm,
yet aching voice.

Summer Spoiled Skin
 Removed by Absorption

AS undue summer exposure usually leaves an undesirable surface of tan. redness or rouEhness. often freckles, too, the sensible thing to do is to re- move such surface. There's nothing better for this than ordinary mer- colized wax. which actually absorbs an unwholcsome complexion. The thin layer of surface skin is itself ab- sorbed, gently. gradually. so there's no inconvenience. no detention indoors. Spread the wax lightly over the en- tire face at bedtime and take 1t off in the morning with warm water. If you will get one ounce of merColized wax at the drugstore. use it for week or so, you may expect marked improve nieut daily.
