 Hereford strongly patriotic always, had an additional reason for enlisting his country first and thereby d means of forgetting his lost love in work, the more dangerous the better.
 Madeline had been on feverish round of sightseeing and pleasure in vain endeavor to forget. To lose re membrance was impossible, and she begged her mother to return home. On the way east Mrs. Drisko asked her children to stop off at Gettysburg with her.
 My dears," said she the day after they arrived at the hotel, this is the anniversary of the battle of Gettys- burg, when your grandfather was wounded. We will take a taxi and go to the very spot 0n Little Round Top"
 Mrs. Drisko was overcome with emotion when she viewed the beauti- ful landscape, the peaceful wheatfield, the peach orchard and many other spots made famous at this great bat tie. With tears streaming down her cheeks she looked at her strong young son standing so straight beside he" knt hn iuty rH shed his blood for his country.
 Not that she would have him do OtherWiSe-for her heart beat high with pride on that day when he told her he had enlisted-but for the sOr rows of the world and for the tears and blood that must be shed before the most infamous tyrant since the world began could be laid low in the dust, never to rise again.
 Came the sound of marching feet! They looked around Mrs. Disko, with tear-dimmed eyes, saw only a com panN of soldiers out on a hike but Madeline saw more than that. Her heart stood still as she thought she caught sight of familiar figure in charge of the men. She had never seen Hereford in uniform-Still the lieu tenant looked very much like him.

They are splendid lot of men. am going to try for it myself.
 The DriSkOs were to leave early the next day. That same evening Made line started from the hotel to get a magazine from the little newsstand across the circle. It was Saturday night, and the streets were crowded with men in uniforms. In the tea rooms and drug stores one could see them in scores eating ice cream and drinking soda water.
 Isn't it funny thing that sol dier is always hungry" remarked q young officer to another as they were strolling around the circle.
 Madeline looked up. The voice-she had heard 1t before and it startled her out of her usual poise.
 Recognition was instantaneous and all the pride and resentment were for gotten as though they had never ex- isted.
 'Madeline." '" exclaimed Hereford, his handsome face aglow with sudden joy.
 Hereford " gasped Madeline, meek ly "Oh, Hereford "'
 Come with me dear" he said, and forgetting his companion he took Made lines arm and guided her down a quiet street. They sat on the steps of church and poured out their young hearts in love and contrition, for they had nothing to quarrel about in the first place.
 Saying good night in the hotel par lor Herefcrd asked
