well as I know you. And you aren't
shocked, any more than I am;
you're afraid. And I haven't asked
you, anyway"
THE childishness Of the last SEN
4 tence brought an irrepressible
smile to Cynthia's lips.
"And not having asked me, you're
not going to? You're not even sug-
costing it?"
I'm telling you what I'm going
to do; that's ALL" declared Eleanor.

it is for you to go to Phil, convinced
me that he'd instantly know that
you were you and not I. So I'm 60

"And the man you've married,
who loves you-what about him?"
demanded Cynthia. Eleanor, you
can't Go such thing"
eff there are only two roads to
take, and one can't stand still, one
of the roads must be travelled" re-
torted Eleanor.
"And how can there be any ques-
ton as to which one to take, when
one leads to misery and disgrace,
and the other to decency?"
You're leaving out happiness"
said Eleanor.
"And do you think that you can
find happiness with Phil, when all
the time you'll know that you've
made a vulgar joke of an honorable
man? When you'll know that
you've ruined your husbands life?"
1.-TWO lives are more important
than one" declared Eleanor. "Why
should I cause Phil's death, be
miserable MYSELF"
Because it's your fault, and
Pills fault, that you two can be
made miserable. Had one or both
of you had decent courage, you'd
have gone to him long ago or he'd
have come and taken you. Instead
you permit another man to love
you; encourage him; marry him."
For moment Eleanor forgot the
desperate need of haste. She sat
down on the couch and lighted a
cigaret. Something anonymously
comic made mirth flicker in the
eyes of Cynthia.
Here was a girl who had done a
most bizarre thing and who con-
templated doing something even
more grotesque. Yet, clad only in
silk Knockers and brassiere, she
perched on the couch and pulled
cigaret!

Eleanor nodded. Somehow, I

The other girl nodded in her turn.
AS though there was nothing sur
prising In the request, her unspoken
assent was devoid of excitement or
apparent reservation. Her words,
however, qualified her manner.
"If it will help you-if we're both
sure that it will help you?" Her
speech ceased on a rising infection.
"Of course it will. He won't kill
himself"
"And that will help you?" asked
Cynthia.
The words seemed callous, but the
voice was gentle. Eleanor stared at
her in amazement.
why, I love him!" she exclaimed.
"And his living will help you?
Howl"
"Why, you don't want some one

CYNTHIA shrugged. Death to the

of something more exciting to do
at the moment. One incident of
the game stood out particularly,
when I was trying to "tag" him
with the ball, and he would let me
get just so close then would dodge
and run, looking back and laugh
ing at me over his shoulder, with
all the fun in the world in his eyes
because I could not quite catch
him.
And thought of him playing
the game in No Mans Land, dodg-
ing and running against Death, at
last to be tagged "out," not to
play any more.
Every red card held memories
for someone, I said. But then
what of the gray ones? You never
quite got used to those either, es-
pecially the Severely ones. Some
thing to be remembered there
Then, after you had thought about
the yellow cards for a while, you
thought more about just the plain
white ones. Nothing much on
them, a lot of times; the war de-
partment isn't loquacious. Just
that Private Jones went overseas
with Company x, came. back, and
was honorably discharged; nothing
much. Or,
Anyway, the cards were white

This was a smaller craft than the
first, schooner, which as we later
learned, had been out after mack
erel. These people were more
friendly than the others. When
they heard our warning bell they
stood by, and I saw two men near
the bow studying our signals
through glasses. Then the long
boat was let down. Rowed by two
men and steered by a third, it sped
toward us.
"By this time we were all gath
cred on the rock to wave a well
come. My father and the fisher
men waded out to help them make
a safe landing. They turned out
to be a kindly crowd. They were
on their way to Boston with load
Of mackerel and said they would
be glad to take three men with
them.

surprises Of my life. My father

Stearns County's Gold Star List
While the words of the poet, 1.-THE
paths of glory lead but to the
grave" proved true in the case of
two Stearns county young men in
the World War, it is equally true
that many soldier gives up his
life "unhonored and unsung," laid
low by an enemy bullet or by di-
sease in the routine performance
of duty, with perhaps never a
chance to win fame and glory, and
forgotten before long by the world
at large. For that reason nations
have always honored the memory
of their war dead in an especial
manner. Those from Stearns coun.
ty who are on record as having died

matter enough, to many people,
that Americans played their part
well, that we at least remember
their names.
Especially I said to myself as I
went through the records of those
who did not come back. The
army has diferent-colored cards
for it's men, white for the ordi-
nary honorable discharge" yellow
for the deserters, dark gray for
the wounded, red for the dead.
You never get hardened to the red
cards as you go through the list.
I stopped an especially long time
at one.
The name was that of a Young
man who grew up in our neighbor-
hood. I don't know yet when he
suddenly became old enough to go
to war! The official citation was
brief, as usual: "Died of wounds
received in action" But 1 added
what friends had said when the
report reached ST.. Cloud-the more
tragic, if I remember rightly, be-
cause it came after the Armstice,
like many others-that he had been
a runner at the front, one of the
most dangerous positions of ALL
and had lived but day after be-
ing sent.
Then for some reason I remem-
bered an evening when I was play
ing a game Of ball with some chill
dren of the neighborhood, very
amateurish affair, of course. The
soldier whose card I held, then a
boy of thirteen or fourteen, joined
us for a while, probably for lack
