ings as a school.teacher. Charlie
had offered to take her place in
the support Of her sister, but
Dora maintained there could be
no deep marital love that handi-
capped the husband with a wife's
obligations, and she had refused.
Man-like, Charlie resented,
rather than try to understand
and overcome her scruples, and,
a month after his last visit home,
he had written her that he had
taken advantage OF an .oppor--
tunity to enlist in the engineer
ing corps Of the French army
This was a year and half be-
fore the entrance of this country
into the war. For the first time,
the real meaning of the trenches
now stabbed home to the girl.
Less than two weeks after Charlie
had sailed from New York, Dora's
invalid sister died suddenly, and
the only obstacle to their mar
riage was removed-too late.
She had three letters from hil1.
one after his receipt Of her news.
full Of sympathy for her, and
With strange new note OF
tenderness that she had never
seen in him before, for Charlie
was already beginning to catch
something of that greater visions
Of life, which comes to men who
go down into the jaws of daily
death.
This was her last word until
that day in the village post-office
when she had been handed the
little package, with the strange
stamps, and marked over with
the red-inked o. X. of the censor.
The first awful blow has now
been somewhat dulled, and Dora,
too, is beginning to understand
something Of that new vision of
life. which came to Charlie In his
brief space in the trenches. At
first she had blamed him bitterly,
and then she had blamed herself
for their separation Now she
knows that both. were to blame.
She knows, too, that Love IL
not an opportunity but q Gift
the greatest which God has given
men and women, and that In the
giving 1t always returns to the
donor more than is received. It
was she who denied Charlie the
privilege Of that gift-and herself
its blessings. The very fact OF
her invalid sister would have
helped cement, rather than lessen
the tie between them, 'fif their
love was genuine and lasting.
1t. was not independence which
kept her from realizing her happi-
ness. 1t was pride-and It was
pride which kept Charlie from
attempting to remove the barriers
which she interposed between
them, and which sent him to his
death.
Both have paid the penalty as
result. Dora was always a.
sweet girl. She is now a trans
figured woman. In my last letter
from her, she tells me that she
had applied for a position as a
Red Cross nurse, and maybe by
the time this is written, she will
be ministering to the unfortunate,
realizing the vision of that
greater love, whose real meaning
she began to glimpse in the little
Indiana school house-after It
was too late. (4S)
