THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER

Gle would not put the gold star in
her window for her son was
only missing. Some day, she thinks,
he will return. His comrades came
back, most Of them-and in their le-
gion post they. speak of him as dead.
But his mother will not put the gold
star in the window.
This fall she is running the farm
alone. The war il receding. Last
fall only a few neighbors came to
help her, and two years ago the le-
gicn boys just back from the war
came out from town in great truck
to gather and shuck her corn. Now
they have their own problems. But
in 1918, when the news that her boy
was missing came, the whole town
ship gathered to help her with her
fall work, and the Gazette printed an
item about the fine neighborly spirit
of it, and moralized upon the way the
war was lifting rs out Of ourselves,
and, in spite Of its cruelty and bar
barism, was teaching US the divine
habit Of fellowship. That was to be
the foundation Of the new heaven and
the new earth; that was Gods gift
to men for the pain and wrack of the
war-three years ago.
She was alone in the field last week
until after shutdown, night after night,
gathering her corn. She could not at
ford to hire a man to help her, with
corn bringing only 80 cents bushel.
And she was up before dawn to get
her cream out on the o'clock train.
The chickens will keep her, but she
will wear her black straw hat to
Bethel church all winter. Still she
is a singing woman, and goes about
her work in the field and in the yard
and in the house singing her gentle
old tunes; mostly old hymn tunes.
Her boy had that singing habit only
with him it took the form also of
whistling. But sometimes, under his
breath like the drone of bee, she
used to hear his song. Whenever
he was wrought up, he crawled into
himself and whistlcd out.
She likes to tell about the way he
hummed and whistied in the spring
four years ago. He rode his wheel
into town and back every evening
three miles each way-that spring.
The town was deeply excited. The
meetings, the drives, the British sol
diers and the French coming to town
to tell Of the war, the Presidents |
great messages, the atrocities, the
fear of the rule Of kings, the vision Of |
a war to end all wars set the boys |
heart athrob. So he hummed and
whistled about his work, and his mo-
Their could feel the rise Of a tide in
his soul. At the last she says it was !
just one tune that buzzed upon his :
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1921-11-24

lips, the old Sunday school verSe that
sings:
l gave, gave My blood for thee,
What hast thou given for Me!
Over and over, during the week OF
the Red Cross drive when the town
was caldron of emotion, the boy
kept humming that tune and whist
ling it about the house, around the
barn, and ~ he stalked across the
fields.
And thsn-it had to happen. He
came home one evening an enlisted
soldier. She was proud. How high
she held her head in the neighbor-
hood And in those days how proud the
neigbborhood WAS for her and of her
who had given 30 exaltedly for Gods
peace ON this earth. When the news
came that he was missing, we all
told her that he was not dead In
deed, our faith in the immortality of
his conservation kept our voices firm.
He was just an average soldier.
Said soldier letter from the COM
pany: 1--WE couldn't break that boy
from whistling or singing. Whenever
we got into a dangerous place he be-
gan that miserable old hymn tune
about 4 gave, l gave That's the last
we heard of him as his bunch mixed
with the Heinies one night in No
Mans Land"
Often she sits at night until late,
sewing before the fire, sewing and
thinking Of her son. The ache of her
loss, the agony Of the thousand slabs
of excruciating memory Of him about
the house and on the place never stop
torturing her. Yet she is singing
woman. And she croons at her work:
/ gave, gave Ny Son for thee,
What hast thou given for Ne?
Possibly she knows he will not re-
turn. Three years have passed since
his comrades saw him, nearly four
now. They have forgotten The world
has forgotten. But because Of the
faith that is in her she knows that |
God has not forgotten Il am the
resurrection and the life" she whis-
pers, and she knows that this was
spoken even for nations, even for
eras, even for civilization, even for
lost souls.
