by the screen door laughing with Mrs.
Bascomb. and Guen recognized even
the turn of his head at that first
glimpse.
And he was even telling about her,
how he had met her down In New
York before he had enlisted, and she
had told him all about this resting
place for tired bodies and spirits.
II used TO think often. over on the
other side. that II / was ever lucky
enough 10 get back / was coming up
here 10 rest awhile in one of those
tents by the waterfall" he said.
Guen looked down at her plate. He
was not adding how she had sent him
away from her and told him TO learn
to be worker and fighter instead Of
just Il dreamer. He was not telling
them what she had already heard
from their mutual friends-how he had
won his war cross and had returned
with many honors.
She had wondered II he would try
10 find her, or would only remember
how she had sent him away from her
and told him he was only drifter.
And now she had found him In her
tent at the edge of the waterfall.
lie followed at her side AS she
walked down the lane 10 the ravine,
and she listened as he talked Of his
service abroad, of his trip UP to Rest
Awhile farm and OF how he had
asked old Mr.. Bascomb 10 put him in
her tent until she arrived.
81 wanted to lie there and listen
to the falling water just as you had
told me you used to-" he said. 81 have
thought of that when l was lying hid
den in underbrush, wounded, and In
the hospital, too. and all the way
over.
Il wanted TO show you you'd done
some good" He hesitated boyishly
fore her tent and looked down at the
falling veil OF water in the ravine.
You told me once these were the
waters of healing to you. Guen. Did
you want 10 keep them all for your
selff Do you think I'd better so
awayT
would you go If I told you tor she
asked teasingly. you did before"
Pa BaScomb was coming along the
lane with pals Of fresh well water
for his tenters, as he called them, but
as he caught sight OF the two he
turned quickly about and went the
other way.
II wasn't going TO spoil no good in
tentions,' he told Mrs. Bascomb with
a chuckle. Like enough after they
get married they'll rent the tent for
two, year after year"

come as often as you could. He
stopped at the two tall white posts
that marked the entrance TO the Bas-
comb lane.
Guess it's too late for me TO drive
way up there, cause dad don't like
the horses out so late. There amt
any light up at the house. neither"
"Oh l can find my way" Guen said
positively. Bring up my suitcase and
typewriter the first thing in the morn
ing, won't you. Benniei I've only got
few things In this bag, and | need
the rest
He was right about there being no
light In the farmhouse, and yet 1t
could only be about half past ten. The
white shapes of the tent colony showed
here and there along the winding lane
and down toward the glen. She had
asked for the same one as last year,
because you caught the sound of the
waterfall there and the pines over
because it stood alone just at the edge
of the ravine. She would just steal
in and not disturb any one until morn
ing.
The flap was down and seemed to be
fastened. She set her handbag down
on the ground and began to tumble

of growl. wait a minute and I'll
be out there"
But Guen never stopped To argue
the point. Catching up her bag she
fled back along the lane TO the house

A Tent for Two

IL was late when Guen arrived. She
had hoped that Mrs. Bascomb would

send down Alma or one of the boys.

NOT HARMED BY CITY LIFE
Tests Show Country Boy is Not Bet
ter on Than His Cousin
of the Town.

That the country boy is better Off
physically than the city youngster is
accepted almost as q dogma. This,
though, is not borne out by series of
comparisons made from army statis-
tics by Prof. o. G. Chaser Of the Uni
versity of Michigan.
Selection was made Of typical set
of cities Of 10000 10 100000 pOpula-
tlon. With no large immigrant ele-
ment, and distributed over ten differ
ent states, and corresponding set OF
counties OF the same total size, To-
Gated in the same states and contain
ing no city Of 10000, the total number
OF reglstrants in the two areas he
ing $4,000. The result of the com
parson was as follows: The reject
ed were 2S.47 per cent Of the city boys
and 2796 per cent of the country
boys The result, therefore. was prac-
tically a tie, showing that the county
boy does not possess a greater de-
gree Of the physical souuiness nee
essary for his acceptance as a soldier.
II might have been thought, COM
ments the Journal of Heredity. that. on
the whole, me advantages OF fresher
air and a more simple routine would
have shown itself In this test and that
the country boys would have won.
What these figures show Is this: That
there are "A great many diverse and
complex factors back OF our present
civilization. our supposedly artificial.
commercial or city life, and that many
of these must have been beneficial TO
our citizens. Here at least is def
mite difference OF environment un.

5000 QUESTIONS
 ANSWERED IN DAY
Hartford Young Woman, Sister-in- Law of Taft, Engaged in N. Nj.
 C. \. Work in Italy.

Rome, Italy, (By Mail.)-Beina an information clerk anywhere under any conditions is no sinecure. But Miss Maria Heron of Hartford. Conn.,, sister-in-laW of former Pres ident Taft, has the record of holding down as difficult a job in that line as one could mention. Miss Heron answers questions at the American Y. NJ. c. A. at Via Francisco Crispi in Rome.
 Americans, as everyone knows, ask more questions than anybody else. Soldiers ask more questions than anE other Americans. And Rome for asking questions is the best place in the world.
 On an average of 200 new soldiers and officers come into Rome every day on leave. Every one of them all want to know where the Roman forum is to be found. and how to tell whether cameOs are real, and which art gallery to visit first, and where to get the best spaghetti, and what time the Y. M. C. A. trips with a guide start for where, and the di rection to the coliseum, and what hour trains leave for Naples. and whether there is any particular time when Mt. NeSuvius may be seen in action. Miss Heron and the other Y M. C. A. workers have told them all these things.
 An American doughboy who kept count one day asserted that Miss Her ron answered 20 questions a minute. As she worked for seven hours that day, her total must have been some thing over 5000 answers, even counting out few pauses for talk ing breath. It is a task that would appal any but q st2lWart soul, but Miss Heron who was formerly men, toned for bravery for her Y. M. C. a work near the front, doesn't let it bother her. In fact, she says that she likes it.

TAKE OVER CIVIL AFFAIRS. Inter- Allied RhincIand Commission .,, Will Take Job From Army.

Coblenz, June 30, (By Associated Press s)-Control of civil affairs, which have been under the jurisdiction of the army during the period of occu- patton, will be the first departm ent to be taken over from the military authorities by the inter-allied Rhine land commission which is to be the administrative body of all the occu- pied areas in Ger1hany.
 1t was announced today that the date upon which the commission will come into supreme power in the Rhinelands is still uncertain. Pierre pont Moves, American commissioner said upon his return from Paris to- day that the understanding was that the commission would not come into full control until the treaty had been ratified by Germany and three of the great powers. Drafts of ordinances are now being drawn for publication as soon as the commission aSsum eS jurisdiction. In the meantime the censorship of all mail and telegraphic matter continues. The army is also restricting the circulation of civilians within occupied areas and the move ments of those desiring to visit un- occupied districts.

tors or Participants sas Athletes During N

Boston, July 1.-seven ana Jbne- half million doughboys of the A K. F. took part in athletics during March. according to figures just received at Northeastern department headquar- ters of the National War Work Coun- cil, Y. M. c. A. here, from Elwood S. Brown, physical director of the Y in France.
 March is the banner month of 1919 In January, five million played and in February five and three -fourths million. Ii is doubtful if the April report, with so many boys home and on the way, will be able to approach the March figures.
 A total of over 13 million were ben efited, onehalf as contestants, and the other half as spectators.
 The most popular games were those of track and field, with 921 1000 parti- cipants. Baseball was second with 12S,0O0, and basketball third, with 735,o00. Mass games and athletics brought out 3,019,964. Baseball could not demonstrate it's real popula rity, as March weather in many sections made playing impossible. In many sections no games were played until toward the end of the month
 The Third Army, the army of occu- patton, led in the number of partici- pants with 2,5S4,753 the Second Army next, with 2,OS9,1OS; and the First Army, with 1,446,4 It was during March that the First army was being very rapidly disintegrated.
 The figures for three months for the huge sport program carried out under the direction of the army at11- letic officials and the 300 athletic di- rectors of the Y. M. C. A., show that there were IS, ,392,9S9 participants and 14,339,00 spectators or a grand to- tai of 42,731,991.
