Advice to the
LOvelOrn
He Remained True.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAG:

T
Some time ago I met young man,
and I soon became convinced that ]
liked him and that the feeling was
mutual When the call 20 arms came
he was among the FIRST 20 enlist. and
before going across he asked me TO
become enEag ed, but ! refused. as !
thought il wiser not TO bind myself at
the time Now he is back ana has
come TO see me, but TO my utter
arnazement. he is minus one leg. He
has asked me 20 continue our friend
ship, but. knowing that IL will lead
20 something else, I hesitate. There
fore, I should like 70 have your ad-
wee PUZZLED
II will depend entirely on how
much you care about this gallant
soldier boy whether it would be de-
sirable for you to renew your &C
quaintance with him or not. II you
care about him his physical dis
ability would only endcar him the
more TO you. but as this does not
seem to be the case. perhaps you
are wise in not renewing a friend
ship that you are sure will lead to
q declaration Of love on his part.

Now he retired. but returned al

Fussing and pottering about un-
til the mass Of lovely blossoms
suited him. he finally presented
himself to Neeland for further or

none, started to retire with a self
respecting dignity that was not ~
all impaired by the tears which
kept yelling up in his aged eyes.
and which he always winked away
with. a demi-tour and q discreet
cough correctly stifed by his dry
and wrinkIed hand.
AS he passed out the door Nee
land said:
"Are you in trouble, Marotte?-
The old man Strengthened Up, and
a fierce pride blazsd for a moment
from his faded eyes
Not trouble. monsieur; but

He bowed with the unconscious
dignity Of wider liberty, q subGSe=
equality which, for a moment, left
such as he Indifferent to circum-
stances Of station.
Neeland stepped forward exteno-
ing his hand:
'Bonas chance! God be with
France-and with US all who love
our liberty. Luck to your three

steadied his voice, bowed In the
faultless garments which were his
badge Of service. and went his way
through the silence in the house.
Neeland had walked to the long
windows giving on the pretty bal
cony with its delicate. wrought
iron rails and its brilliant masses
Of geraniums.
Outside. along the avenue, in ab-
solute silence, regiment Of euiraS-
siers was passing. the level sun
blazing like sheets Of crimson IRE
across their helmets and breast
plates. And now. listening, the Tar
cIatter Of their horses came to his
ears in an immense. unbroken, rat
Ting resonance.
Their gold fringed standard pass
ed. and the sunlight on the naked
sabers ran from point to hilt like
liquid blood. Sons Of the Cuiras-
siers of Morsbronn, grandsons Of
the Cuf-assiers Of waterloo-what
was their magnificent fate to neH
For splendid it could not tail to be,
Wheeler tragic or fortunate.
The Americans heart began to
hammer in his breast and throb in
his throat, closing 1t with a sudden
spasm that seemed to confuse his
vision for a moment and turn ths
distant passing regiment to a gilt
tering stream OF steel and fame.

there seemed to be very few SOL
disrs IN Paris-sn odd fact imme-
diatsly noticeable.
Also there were no omnfbuses to
be seen. no private automobiles. no
electric vehicles Of any sort except
great gray army trucks trundling
by with q sapper at the wheel
And. except for the whiz and rush
of the motors and the melancholy
siren blasts from their horns, an
immense silence reigned in the
streets.
There was no laughter to be
heard, no loud calling. no gay and
animated badinags. People who
met and stopped conversed in un-
dertones; gestures were sober and
rare.
And. everywhere, In the intense
silence, Red Cross hags hung mo-
tionIess In the late afternoon sun
shine; everywhere were posted no
tees warning the republic Of gen.
eraI mobilization-on dead walls, on
tree-boxes, on kiosks, on bulletin
boards, on the facades Of public and
ecclesiastical buildings.
Another ordinance which NeeIand
could read from where he stood at
the window warned all citizens
from the streets after o'clock in
the evening: and on the closed iron
shutters Of every shop in sight OF
his window were pasted white
strips Of paper bearing. in black
letters, the same explanation:
"Ferme a cause de Ia mobilisa-
ton"
Nowhere could he see the word
war printed or otherwise dis
played The conspiracy Of silence
concerning it seemed the more omi-
nous
Nor, listening, could he hear the
sinister voices of men and boys call
ing extra editions Of the papers.
There seemed to be no need for the
raising Of hoarse and threatening
voices in the soundless capital Men
and youths OF all ages traversed
the avenues and streets with sheafs
OF fresh. damp newspapers over
their ragged arms, but it was the
populacs who crowded after and
importuned them, not they the peo-
pie; and no sooner did a paper
seller appear than he was stripped
OF his wares and was counting his
coppers under the trees before hur-
rying away for a fresh supply.
Neeland dressed himself in sec
tions, always returning to the win
