A Period of Mon0tony


Nov. 5-"There isn't much to
tell, for there is Mt much variation
from day to day, except few
things, perhaps. which are not per-
mitted to be told. A discussion of
the war news would only be a repe-
tition of what you read in the daily
paper. Indeed, | am sure you know
a great dc al more about the war sit
ualion than we do, for we get only
a smattering. We wish that the
peace talk would cease until there
is something decisive to talk about.
1t is SO disheartening to wake up in
the morning to find that our hopes
of the day before were all false
ones. 1t takes the pep all out Of
US | stand with Roosevelt when
he says there should be an end to
all this parley, that unconditional
surrender is all that should be con-
sidered. It seems to me that any.
thing short of that will be prena-
ture.
I'VE went full speed ahead again
for night or two, after three weeks
or more of idleness, but the work
has again stopped, and we think
now for sure that this. hospital will
soon be taken off the map. Some
of the teams and some of the
nurses have been called back TO
their Eases, SO we look for our call

get Your letters which l know are
waiting for me. This is the longest

ing across. Nearly five months
since we left the L. S. A, and near
ly eight since 1 left home. How
/ long the time seems!"
War Is Over!
Nov. 81 am really feeling a
4 few thrills of excitement now that
I am sure the war is over. There
is such different feeling in the
air. Even the legless and eyeless
are happy. Theirs will not be the
happy home coming that some 9TH
ers will have but it is home for
them just the same. Their sa2ri-
fees have been made courageously
and cheerfully, and we shall always
pay them the most profound re-
spect.
The news of the signing of the
armislice was received most calmly,
mostly because we have been fed
up on so many rumors of late that
we were all afraid it might not be
true; but yesterday the celebration
really began and from the noise one
would have thought we were being
bombarded. The French ii the
villages few miles distant must
have stored up considerable am
munition in anticipation of this joy
full occasion. Tonight this camp is
quite blaze of light in strikir G
contrast to the total darkness in
which We have been enshrouded
No shades need to be drawn any
more.

Many rumors will be afloat and or
them we shall thrive"

that while advertising could be made
use of in a delicate way in the bank

be obtained by courteous treatment
from the bank officials and real SER

stated that he is firm believer in all

the great force advertising had been

sent them marching in khaki and that

action by the noise of Jim's chair
pushing back from the table. In an
other moment / knew that he would
| be within hearing. and l didn't
wish to add this annoyance to his
burden whatever it might prove
TO be.
With a hurried BLESS you,
ma'am," Bertha hung up and 1
swung around on the telephone chair
to face my Jim. The tenseness had
in measure fled from his face, but
the grayness still was there. And
his voice held metallic ring as he
said:
Got a minute you can give me
now? 80
He was seeking a note of playful
ness. but | sensed rather than knew
how much the effort cost.
Even now l didn't understand.
AS l look back upon that moment
l wonder why L didn't comprehend,
why l did not help him tell me
what he had to tell me. And yet
how could l have known?
Jim didn't put his arms about me
as another man might have done
with his wife. Nor did he even put
one arm about my shoulders as a
comrade might have done with an
other Comrade. He simply slipped
his arm through mine and led me
into the livingroom, releasing me
to close the doors behind us that
we might be secure from Interrupt
tion. safe from ears that might even
innocently hear.
I'm worried. dear" he said, limp
ing about the room nervously. then
back to face me on the couch to
which I had sunk to rest. "Wor-
ried more than perhaps you can
imagine. Say, you haven't been
watching the market recently, have
you ,"
No" I confessed. Then I caught
the glints of his eyes in the gray
ness of his face. l began to COM
prehend. why, Jim cried.
Whats the matter? You haven't
You aren't?'
Perhaps | am - whatever you
may mean" he laughed in a tone
far different from any I had ever
heard his voice hold. Here's the
straight of it, There's something
funny about the biggest of the oil
wells on which | have been plung-
ing. I've got TO tell you about it.

bered my long-ago promise to Jim
that he should lead. and sol didn't
insist upon an immediate explana-
tion. l slipped my arm into his and
silently entered the diningroom with
him.
Strangely enough all through our
almost silent dinner, the thought
uppermost in my mind was not Jim
nor yet my loss in selling the car.
What troubled me most was the
fact that Lyons had lost his posi-
tion with us--the situation in which
he felt the need and had the stimu-
lus TO keep straight, to do the right
What would this sudden dismissal
mean to Lyons and to Bertha, the
woman who mas stuck by him all
these years, and who felt him safe
so long as he was with us. What
job could be obtain now? How
would be conduct himself when
away from Bertha?
The loss of the octagon gold piece
came to my mind. 1t came as a
shock. Could Lyons have found it
found it, perhaps where l had drop
and kept it? Would he think,
would Bertha fear-supposing she
knew of it-that this was the cause
of his discharge? OF course, l didn't
know that Lyons had taken the
octagon, nor even that he had seen
it. But the whole situation doomed
in my mind as an emergency, as
something about which must take
instant action.
Leaving Jim to finish his dessert
alone, and giving but the flimsiest
excuse, a forgotten message to Nir-
ginia, / hurried to the telephone.
Oddly enough. Jim didn't protest.
He seemed content to daily with
his dessert and TO play with his
demi-tasse. This came to me even
while l spoke to Bertha, who,
luckily. answered the Dreamwold
phone.
Without wasting words or mine
ing matters ! told Bertha just what
had happened-for as yet she knew
hothing of her husbands dismissal
promised her that ! would try to
place him and asked her to have
him call upon me in the morning.
The gasp with which she received
my explanation told me how deep
the shock, how great the fear was
to her.

You've sold the carw 1 gasped.
You've discharged Lyons and sold
the car without asking me-why,
jim! How
And then l stopped. My mind
swept back for some reason-some
explanation in the happenings of
the last few days for this astonish-
ing thing. But none offered itself
indeed, not single thing-not the
shadow of a quarrel, even pre-
sented itself in explanation of this
amazing act of Jim's.
Then the grayness of his haggard
face forced itself into my thoughts,
it scattered them and brought me
back TO the moments need-to JIM s
need. For Jim seemed to be waiting
for me to say something more, to
be watching my face with greatest
intentness than before.
"Of course, we still have the lit
tie car" 1 offered in place of what
had been on my tongue. And | can
drive it myself-very well. You've
said that many times"
Yes, you do drive well-and you
still have the little car. That's
what thought. It's all right. isn't
it? But let's have dinner now"
So foreign to Jim's eager nature
was this postponemen 1 ought to
have understood right then that
there was something far from the
usual troubling him. 1t is impossi-
BILE even now to forgive myself for

 L. s. McKirk, mining engineer who has worked in the earth from Panama to Nome, is at the head oi the party. His office is the musty little cabin in which Stevenson worked. The battered old desk on which Stevenson wrote still is in he cabin, splotched by ink stain: rom his pen.
 It was reported the adventure that | led to the new voyage of the Casco was thrust on the man that founo lntold wealth in the Arctic, when he and the other members of the crew )f a poaching sealer were chased bJ l Japanese cutter, and their snial boat was wrecked.
