They separated. The fresh bouquet
was left alone in the discreetly shad-

In her own chamber upstairs Odette
began to reflect. A painful thought
had intruded itself on her happiness.
She was no longer absorbed with the
future. Her mind turned to the past.
How many times in the course of a
brilliant and frivolous life had sho
seen her mother a prey to attacks Of
melancholy. How many times also
had her father seemed to her grave
and constrained. as if oppressed by q
secret preoccupation! Did they regret
their separation. or did they suffer
merely from moral solitude? She had
never sought to know the occasion Of
their rupture. She would have thought
1T odious and impious to side with one
against the other. She had taken
refuge in her ignorance as in an in
violable asylum.
Today, nevertheless, she ventured TO
wrestle with this dreaded problem.

Special to The Times
GREENSBURG, Ind. April 15.-The
story Of how William Baxter of Adams,
Ind, willingly sacrificed his life on the
field of battle that two wounded com
rades whom he knew to be married and
with families awaiting their return might
be saved was told yesterday by a com
rade when Bakers body was buried in
his home town nearly four years after
he enlisted in his countrys service.
The story goes that Baxter was
wounded, though not fatally, his knee
having been torn by machine sun fire.
He sought position where he would
not be exposed to the enemy fire to await
medical aid. He was lying in position
with two wounded comrades, members of
his company. When the ambulance ar
rived, Baxter saw there was not room
for all and insisted that the two men
with him be taken first, and he could
be cared for later
During the absence Of the medical de-
tachment, a detachment of huns came
upon the wounded soldier and cruelty in
ficted mortal wounds with their bayonets.
