HOW MADGE ANSWERED THE
WOUNDED OFTTCEIS'S EN-
RARRASSING QUESTIONS.

My first startled impulse as 1
heard the astonishing query of the
wounded officer was TO look around
at the nurse in order TO see whether
or not she had heard his words. In
deed, my head had involuutarily
turned ever so slightly, when L
was able to regain my poise and
force myself 10 a calm demeanor.

excite her interest and comment as
an admission upon my part that the
young officers question annoyed me,
or that ] attached any Importance
TO it.
But I was flaming with en-
barrassment, for feared that even
If she had not heard the query, L
couldn'l keep from her ears other

man. He was evidently "primed,' as
Harry Underwood used TO say, to
keep on talking indefinitely. and
there was a look in his eyes. an eX-

ing with a nervous tremor as
gathered myself together 10 answer
his question.
Yes, my husband is living j said
in as low a tone as l could manage
without making it a whispered muir

more attention from the nurse than
would a shout.
The flush left his cheeks and a

slightly toward the nurse. Before
could call her the wounded man had

had understood the fright in nay

A little smile twisted the corners
of his mouth. 1t was a sad little

mockery in it. 1 caught the meaning
of il at once. Poor chap In his
weakness he fancied that he was
concealing the real reason for his
questions.
He lay quiet for long moment,
then said clearly, slowly:
Pardon me, but 1 must ask you
this. If your husband isn't dead,
are YOU divorced or living apart
from him."
Impulsively, angrily, ! withdrew
my hand from his. Even If he were
in, there was a limit TO my patience.
But as I looked again at his sunken
face, his suffering eyes, my heart
condemned me for my harshness. l
schoOled my voice TO calmness.
My husband and l are very
happy together" 1 said, with a tiny
prayer for forgiveness for the lack
of truth in my answer.
