ever. He didn't realize in those months in the hospital how much he was going to miss Rod-how much he could miss Rod; that real ly tho outfit only meant Rod to him. It was lonely and everyone was so sick and discouraged. It was cold and rainy. It didn't seem as though the war was ever going to end, and his lungs hurt. There seemed no place for him anywhere.
 The very trees. with their shat tered trunks standing up 50 pa- tiently to the continuous shell fire seemed to say to him that it would go on forever-and o God, he was sick-sick in body and in mind! Major Andrews led him away as he was going down into the dugout. Tracy. you look like the devil. You've got to do something for yourself. I'll tell you what let's do. An order has just come in to send down two men to the motor school at La Blanc. It looks as if every- body though this war was going on forever, and they have decided to motorize all the artillery"
 May be they think they'll want the horses for food, sir" said Phil.
 You needn't try to change the subject. Tracy. I meant it. You've either got to go back to the hospi- tai or take this chance of going to school. don't mind which,"
 "All right. I'll go to the school. When do I leave?"
 ITO night Go and pack your things"
 How Phil regretted that decision, for it was only three days later that the arlnistice was declared and he was in La Blanc in the south of France. He would almost have given his soul to have been there with his outfit, when the guns ceased firing.
 Everyone. however. seemed deliri- ously happy, but himself. in the lit- tie French town where he was a complete stranger.
 That didn't keep everyone from kissing him. though. He had never been kissed so much in all his life as he was that day. Old women. old men, young women and children. Every American uniform seemed to hold their owE special hero who had to be hugged and kissed and ex- claimed over and treated to a drink and oh, how drunk he got!
 The next morning he could not determine if for him the end of the war was tragic or ridiculous.
 He had started out with such high hopes. Such wonderful ideals. He had flung himself into the breach with the enthusiasm of young crusader-and ended by get ting drunk.
 The motor school which Phil at- tended taught him all the things about the insides of tractors and motorcycles and how to repair them when they didn't work, and Phil kept wondering, whats the use?"
 It was only at night that sitting in the dining room at small cafe, drinking red wine. eating goats milk cheese and bread, that he managed to recapture a little of the contentment of living that he had known before he had gone up to the front.
 Would he ever capture it as he had had it back home before he joined the American army overseas?
 (To Be Continued)
 Phil is sent to Germany. His mother plans to go to Europe to see him and Major Aukland begs her to go as his wife. Will she?

Ghost of Harry Underwood Rises
 Before Madgc


 Before Madgc
 The name of Harry Underwood coming from Philip Veritzen's lips startled me almost as much as ii Lillian's recreant husband himself suddenly had risen before me. had not seen the debonair. unscrup- ulous. irresponsible. but thoroughly engaging scapegrace for 8 number of years. and the mention of his name made me realize that l had given him no thought for almost the same length Of time. Yet as clear ly as if his mention by Philip Verit- zen had been the showing of a cinema closeup, l could visualize his 1.-the figure, his undeniably hand some face. sometimes wearing a jovial smile, sometimes 8 sardonic grin. according to his mood. and his keen black eyes which I had seen soften into rare tenderness. I felt almost that if should clpse my eyes could hear his deep voice saying, Well, Lady Fair" the half mock ing, half tender greeting he always had accorded me since the first days of my marriage when he and Lillian welcomed me. as Dicky's bride, so hospitably into their home and their inner circle of friends.
 How much water had gone under the bridge since those days! re- membered when the beginning of the end had come for Lillian and Harry-when she knew that her long Gethsemane was ended. and that she was to be given her small riage. Her union with Harry Under wood. prominent theatrical figure of Broadway had been picking up of 'he wreckage Of two lives and con- irving a home from it." to use her own picturesque phraseology, and she had played her part royalty, even yielding to his desire to have her join the foolish procession of middle-ased and elderly women who futilely snatch at their lost youth with rouge and hair dye and all the other cosmetic machinery. l re- membered the atrocious caricature Of youth she presented when I first saw her, vsioned also the painful picture she presented when her hair was passing through the different shades of green and the other inde- scribab ble shades to it's present beau- tiful silver whiteness, and her skin was paying for her abuse of it.

Old Man Coyote moved stiffly. He wanted to bound forward to where Miss Coyote sat in the path with her head turned, grinning at him. But he was so afraid that at his first movement she would run away as she had done so many times that he took his first step slowly and stiffly. Miss Coyote got to her feet. Old Man Coyotes heart sank. He paused. But he began to wae his tail. Miss Coy oted turned so that she faced him. Old Man Coyote took another step. Miss Coyote grinned more broadly than ever. She grinned as only d wolf or dog can grin. Her tail be- gan to wag. This was too much for Old Man Coyote. With a little yelp of sheer joy he bounded forward. Miss Coyote bounded, too but she didn't bound forward. She bounded off to one side. But the great thing was that she didn't run away
 For a few minutes there was q regular jumping or bounding match there in the Old Pasture. Miss Coyote bounded this way and that way, crouched with her head down on her forepaws, all ready to jump to one side or the other at the ap- proach Of Old Man Coyote, turned and ran short distance. only to run back again, and altogether was as playful as young puppy. Old Man Coyote wisely joined in the play. In fact. felt playful. He was so happy that he wanted 10 play. And so there in the Old Pasture these two fool ishly happy folk were having won derful time.
 Finally, right in the midst of their play Miss Coyote suddenly stopped and thrust her head out toward Old Man Coyote Slowly Old Man Coyote thrust his head forward until for just an instant their noses touched. In that touch Old Man Coyote had the strangest feeling pass over him. Without knowing how he knew, he did know that never again would Miss Coyote run from him. Miss Coyote backed few steps and sat
 
 up proudly and walked toward her in such a dignified manner that it really was funny. Never in all his life had he been quite so dignified. Miss Coyote didn't run. She simply sat there and allowed Old Man Coyote to walk right Up to her.
 "Iou-you won't run away from me again. will you ?'' stammered Old Man Coyote.
 That depends,' replied Miss Coy otc. looking very demure.
 II don't want you to-" replied Old Man Coyote. Cant we be friends 2"
 Aren't We friends?" asked Miss Coyote, pretending 10 look surpris- cd.
 T don't know" said Old Man Coyote, I've been trying to be friendly for d long time, but you have never given me q chance
 "Oh!" exclaimed Miss Coyote, were you trying 10 be friendly"
 "Yon know I was" answered Old Man Coyote. and l have tried so hard 10 get acquainted. You see, don't know anything about you and ] do SO want to-
 T know all about you" said Miss Coyote T know where you live, where your favorite summing place is where you hunt when you hunt. and when you sleep. and all about

you. So if can know all about you l don't see why you shouldn't know all about me-"
 Old Man Coyote blinked at this. He didn't know just what to say. So for minute he said nothing and Miss Coyote continued. Tt looks to me- said she, "as if you didn't real- ly want to know all about me-"
 Old Man Coyote didn't see the mischievous look in her eyes wher. she said this. "Oh. but I did," he cried. T did want 10 know all about you and tried my very best.'
 Miss Coyote sighed. "Oh, did you"' said she. And l thought all the time that you were smart. If I could find out all about you, I don't sec why you couldn't find out all about me. if you really wanted to-"
 Now, Miss Coyote was only teas ing, for no one knew better than she how very hard Old Man Coyote had tried to get acquainted with her.

 Phillip why do you not come home?
 Surely you have done enough to l appease that relentless dog of war. Surely you can now, in the fu- ture. look your grandchildren in the face.'
 Surely you owe something not only to your mother but to your self. "Son. there are streaks of gray on your mothers head. Yesterday Major Aukland said to me.

 "'Now that you know your boy is alive. Anne. will you not rest and smile again?"
 Phillip. you are going to like Major Aukland very much. if for no reason than that he has been so kind to your mother.
 II think he is the tenderest, most understanding man l have ever known.
 "J could not-I would not-have lived all through this awful time l that you have been away, had 1t not , been for him.
 | You say, son, that you owe your life to Rod, and that you intimate it was not worth the sacrifice. Just after you went away, Rod wrote to me that he never expected to come back to America. He told me that all the joy he had ever known in his life had been in my house and in company with you and Natlee. He wrote me that he wanted me to know that he would gladly give his life for you.
 T am quite sure. Phillip dear. if ! Rodney Maxwell could have had his choice, his life would have end cd just the way it did. He gave it | lOr yOu-duu Ndllee.
 "Oh. wish you would come home. son, instead of back to the front. am sure you could do so if you ] wished. A wire or two which Major Aukland and could pull would bring you back here. at least on a ! furlough.

 "Mr. Jones, l know, is very anx ious to have Nallee marry Jerome. Her aunt Julia told me that he would like to have her do it before you return.
