1t was on late December afternoon,
Esther Crowell came up the winding walk

said: 1--WE were married to-day at Pas

While her parents looked dumbly at her

And every day the Crowells heard

They learned, the trio Of deeply inter-
ested listeners, that Ole Robinson would
still be in France, and "close to Pershing,"
had he not been invaded home. At times
the story Of his invalidism turned on
wounds, at others sickness. That point
was never quite clear to the listening Gro
wells. 1t was more or less obscured in the
telling.

directness of the trained business man,

The next week the good-looking young

half hour after his father-in-law and re-

The dinner table talk turned upon MIR.
Crowell's day at the office. Mr.. Crowell
asked his son-in-law how things had
gone"

Spouse. But there were never the direct
ness and deflniteness of response of the
man who enjoyed his work. to whom his
job was eight-tenths, at least of his life's
concern.
Mr. Crowell, all but submerged as are
most American business men, in their
work, noticed this and pondered. He pom
