WAR HEROINE'S LIFE

French Girl Dies Alone, Deserted

band.

Her life was real and earnest-she
had been a heroine In the strife, but
the pauper's grave was her goal. For
Annette Cichot Markland's life proved
but an empty dream.
Annette was q French war h%eroine;
four years she drove an ambulance on
the French and later on the American
fronts. Three times she was pain
fully wounded. Three times she was
gassed. They buried her a few days
ago in a pauper1s grave at Ruth. Mont,
for she died alone, deserted by her
American soldier husband.
Annette found romance amid the
bursting of shells and the hardships
Of war. An American private, Ralph

nurse and n hasty eourtshlp ensued.
MARYLAND brought his bride to Butte
In February, 1910. His family bit
terly opposed the marriage. In the
face Of parental objections and the
heartless animadyersions of relatives
and friends OF the family, the young
husbands love for his bride cooled.
Two complaints were Issued charging
him with nonsupport, after which
MARYLAND fled. leaving his wife alone
and without friends or funds to re-
turn to the country she had served so
faithfully.
A little later Annette was admitted
to the county poor farm-a pauper.
An operation was made necessary as
the result OF wounds she had re-
ceiyed In the service of two flags.
She made no effort to live. She did
not want to live. Half starved and
broken in spirit, the once stout
hearted girl. In whose arms dying pa
triots had sought sympathy and re-
ccived II. preferred to nnd rest at last
