letter, from home-and didn't get

She was homesick and lone
some-wanted to Join the crowd
of New Years Eve merry;
makers. but just couldn't be-
cause she didn't know anybody.
At s o'clock she boarded
street car and slipped into the
back seat. beside a soldier. She
knows now that he, too, was
lonesome and homesick.
Some trivial thing, opened the
road to casual conversation
and when she came to her corner
the soldier also left the car. =.
She had never, never ap-
proved of "picked-up" acuaint-
ances, but, somehow, this was
different. Anyway. they went
back to Pennsylvania avenue
and just let themselves drift
with the Joy of New Years Eve.
When 1880 was fully Installed,
and they were once more at the
entrance of the hospital. the
soldier told her that when she
sat down beside him. before he
spoke to her. he knew he had
found his mate. OF course, she
laughed at him when he said,
II love you," but long after the
nightwatch had let her in the
magic words, rang in her ears
like music. And when Z D.. m.
came again, her soldier was
there-and he brought ;; those
same three words with him. IT
love you" II ,s,. - -
For weeks she stood him of,
and laughed at him. But then.
one night, she gave up. the
struggle against her own heart.
and very, very softly. with her
face pressed close to one OF
Uncle Sans military oyercoats.
she, too. gave voice to those
three little words. II love YOU"
And ndly, after four months,
with horhesickness and lone

forgotten past. they await the
soldiers return to private life,
when they win unlock-the door
to Home and Happiness, with
that wonderful golden key. ct
