ADJUSTMENTS.

"The Woman Thou Gavest Me-"

"The Woman Thou Gavest Me.
See these scenes in the great him
at the Arcade today:
Dad as his own life had been, he
considered he had a right to treat me
in this way because he was a man and
| was a woman.

predestined had happened, that the
,wonderous new birth, the joyous mys-
terry which comes to every happy wo-
man in the world, had come at last to

with Martin Conrad. Yet l was mar
ried, and to love another than my
husband was sin.

think or pray or resist any longer.
Before l knew what l was doing |
was dropping my head on Martins
breast and he with cry of joy was
gathering me in his arms.
ooh, you good women, who are
happy in the love that guards you,
shields you; shelters you, wraps yod
round and keeps you pure and true

of your sister in her hour Of trial
and fierce temptation.

"Then came the great miracle. My
child awoke and began to cry. 1t
was faint cry, oh! so thin and weak,
but it went laundering and laundering
through me. A mighty torrent Of
love swept over me. 1t was mother
hood.
ut seemed to me that, while God in
his gracious mercy was giving me my
child to comfort and console me, to
make me a better woman than l had
been before, man, with his false and
cruel morality, was trying to use it
as a whip to punish me.
"Seizing him by the white stock at
his throat, Martin thrashed him as he
would have thrashed a vicious ape.
I hrashing him while he fumed and
foamed, and cursed and swore.
Thrashed him while he cried for help,
and then yelled with pain and whined
for mercy. Then he flung him to
the ground, bruised in every bone.

when her 40 cents was not returned. She
went home and amid tears informed her
parents. The police rounded up tho trio.

Sixtieth Coast Artillery
Regiment One Of First to
Get Across and First to
Get Home.

Gradually the war history Of the
sixtIeth Coast Artillery Regiment
formerly the First and Second Coast
Artillery companle. District National
Guard. Is being told to Washington
relatives and friends as the District
men rejoin their families
One of the first local units to get
across, and possibly the only local
organization that remained intact
during the entire fighting, the Sixtieth
Coast Artillery Regiment, has the
honor OF being the first company OF
District men to arrive as a unit from
overseas.
They cIamored into the Union Sta
tion Sunday evening. February 9,
swinging down the station corridors
with their heavy packs of fighting
equipment swung on their backs, as
light-hearted as when they had left
TO face the firing line.
Only Two Missing.
At the final roll call at Fort Wash
ington on being mustered from the
service, only two District men were
missing. They had fallen in action
in the Meuse-Argonne offensive.
Sergt. John 3. Keller, 50 r street
northwest, has recorded some OF the
principal historic events OF the organ
ization during the last seventeen
months.
Originally a part OF the First and
Second Coast Artillery companies,
District National Guard. the local
units were sent to the rife range at
Congress Heights the latter part of
July, 1917, for preliminary rife prac-
tiee. Returning to the District Armory
July %, 1917. they were mustered into
the regular service the next day, and
were sent to Fort Washington Au-
gust :. 1917.
On January Il, 1918. the two COM
panies became part of the Sixtieth
Regiment, Coast Artillery Corps, First
Company. the base organization for
Batter D and the Second Company,
for the Supply Company.
The organization was then ordered
on March 26 to Camp Stuart, Newport
News. Va. for embarkation, leaving
Hampton Roads, Va. April Q. 1917,
on the troop ship Siboney, a trans
port carrying approximately 1900 over
seas soldiers.

Influenced by the example set by

Keller said yesterday in speaking of
the hardshfps, the fire under which
the men had been and the narrow es-
capes they had experienced. In pro-
portion, while enduring as much, II
not more, shell fire than other organi-
cations, the Sixtieth Regiment came
out with a comparatively low casualty
rate.
During the last Offensive there was
only one line of communication be-
tween our advance positions near
Cler1nont and Grand Pre-. This was
one of the old Roman roads that led
through the Aire River valley" Sergt
Keller said, "the Germans knew our
positions and the road well and that
it was our one avenue over which all
ammunition and supplies Of every
kind had to be brought
They, of course, aimed continually
at this road. By some trick of Provi-
dence their shells were DETECTED so
that while they broke OF the edges
of the embankment, tearing up the
sides of the roadway. but Just missing
