with a start.
The letter was from Barney's
friend of the Canadian battalion who
| had written Barney of her fathers
attempt to speak to him, who had
told Barney to hasten to Resurrec-
ton Rock and had foretold that he
would find some n named Bagley

My Dear Ethel Carew:
1 am addressing you without the
usual prefix of Miss or Mrs. because
L do not know which to use.
l am writing you to report the
81 distance of a communication meant
fer you and which was received from
a person who is dead.

Mrs. Brand, Philip Carew once more

him the cost there is nothing"
Very sincerely.

give that person a good dinner; and
in his cousin eth he found he

Q%uinlan?" she asked.
"Old Jim Q%uinlan? Surely. Father

Ethel asked.

son."

"Shot down in flames near Cam

got into aviation as observer and
machine gunner. Old JIM hear

he had left. Lost most Of the rest
of his family in disasters, some one
said; then the war took Bob"

with grandfather" Ethel returned.
