even in the extremities of age. Then.
after inscribing his protest In the mat

cluded his missive In tone molllfied
to tenderness, and proceeded to read
letter from his mother which had
reached him simultaneously with
Lucy's. Isabel wrote from Asheville.

But she did not keep her husband
there for the six weeks she ANTICIPATED.
She did not keep him anywhere that
long. Three weeks after writing this
letter, she telegraphed suddenly to
George that they were leaving for
home at once; and four days later.

March Says Goth Division
Won't Return for Months

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 17-"The
26th Division viii not arrive in 'the
United States for several months"
said General Peyton c. March, Chief of
Staff, in telegram tonight TO Mayor
David (. Fitzgerald of this city. The
message was in response to a request
by the Mayor that the 1O2d Regiment
of the 26th Division, be allowed to
parade in New Hsven after the recep-
ton in Boston
General March. telegram directly
contradicts the cablegram sent by Gen
eral Pershing last Saturday to Con
gressman Fuller, of Massachusetts, in
which the American commander said
that the 26th Division would start for
home next Thursday. Following the
many varied reports ~oncerning the re
turn Of the Yankee division, General
Pershing's message was regarded as Of
fetal, and caused Governor Coolidge of
Massachusetts and Mayor Peters of
Boston to make plans for a great re
ception to the\ troops on their arrival
at Boston.

Here were their own people. Here
many of them had grown from baby
hood. Here they had mingled with
their neighbors, just everyday sort of
chaps working at their humdrum tasks,
with never a thought Of being heroes
and quite unthought of as such. Then
came the war and turned things topsy-

in the world. And here they were

Here and there among the throng an

one bronze -hued damsel choked back a
sob as the closed ranks, in which to
her there was an untitled space,
passed by.
But by and large it was a wholly
joyous affair, and it was destined to
be more joyous yet. For no sooner
had the parade disbanded at 1f5th
