AS he dragged out his words pic

out of his uniform-Jim in civilian
clothes. never had seen him in a
mere business suit-how would he
look? He was conjuring up a
stranger for me and I felt frighten-
ed.
But only for a moment. Then
again I was swept by the great
yearning in his heart-the yearning
to share in the war, and I found my
self throbbing with his pain. and his
desire to again be a whole man, fit
to fight for freedom.

but I'll come back! I'll find some

longing to make a practical sugges-

him-and so vastly pathetic.
And then I was suddenly aware OF
a new problem. A man must work

What had Jim done before he was
a soldier? What~was he qualified to

ability to earn a living?
I, his wife, did not know the
answer even to one OF these funda-
mental questions.

Newport Beats
PiermOnt Team
Continued from page one)

The next basket was made by Ken
nison, who sho. the ball clean from
the extreme left end of the hall 1t
was one of the prcttiest shots ever
made in School Hall and was one of
three such shots the local boy made
last night. His other two fine shots
were made from deep center They
were all certainly wonderful shots.
Both teams had great deal of
hard luck in shooting last night. On
several occasions almost perfect shots
were made but the ball seemed to roll
right out of the basket. And then
again the boys missed on some very
easy shots.
There really was no individual star
on the company team. All Of the
members played a good brand Of
basketball, Jimmy Jones and Harry
Stevens who played in place of the
Mossa brothers, probably played the
fastest game. Stevens proved himself
an exceptionally fine center and
would probably have scored more
baskets if he had taken more time in
shooting.
Jones guarded his position we'll and
was always in the right place at the
right time. Stevens made one pretty
shot, however from the extreme end
OF the hall. Jones guarded his men
well and was always in the right
place at the right time. Hadlock and
kennison played a steady game but
the odds seemed to be against Basil.
Although Bigelow, as usual secured
the largest number of baskets, he
did not play up to his standard His
shooting was weak in the early stages
OF the game.
