She loved him, but she would
have liked to see other faces, see o
few bright lights occasionally. New
York, 1t seemed to her, was as far
away as II had been when she was
in California. She would never
see 1t.
And then she woke one morning
with a leaping pain in her jaw and
tooth she could not bear TO touch
She went in town with Eric, who
dropped her at the dentists and
said he'd call for her at Louise's
apartment some time later in the
afternoon.
She rang Louise up after the
dentist had stilled the pain and was
told that Mrs. Fennell is out for
the day, but she'll be in later this
afternoon"
IT'S Mrs. Adams" Halle said.

Halle spent the rest Of the
morning and early afternoon win
dow shopping. The day sped past
with wings and it was five o'clock
when she rang the bell at Louise's
door.
1t was a man who opened the
door TO her, a very attractive man.
Halle wondered if she'd met him
before. No. Shed remember it.
She said, rs Mrs. Fennell at
home ?"

Mrs. Fennen very kindly invited
me to drop in when my business
was finished this afternoon. There

He had a nice deep voice. Halle
liked it. And she liked the way his
eyes crinkled at the corners when
he smiled at her. He was very tall
and his hair. for all that he wasn't
much over 35, was silvered al the
temples. She looked at him, with
thoughtful air, for a long moment,
and then she said, I've the strang-
est feeling that we've met before.
But we haven't, have WEI"
II felt that, too" he said slowly,
but I don't think we have. l don't

the time of the Spanish-American
War.
| remember a small detachment
Of what we will call "Pride's Own
Regiment" being detailed 10 go
out in a vacant lot near my home
in 1898 and being made TO live on
concentrated ratious Of food for
two weeks. The vacant lot was
surrounded by guards so nobody
could escape.
It is very desirable for the army
10 have a concentrated ration. The
big trouble with an army is that
it has 70 eat, and this requires
cumbersome apparatus and long
lines Of communication. II you
could give a soldier something
about the size of cigarette
package which would contain
enough concentrated food to last
him for a week, you could send
him forward without waiting for
the wagon trains and be able to
win q great many more battles.
Not Satisfying
It sounds very simple. Sugar is
good nourishment that you can
put in small compass and you
ought TO be able to do that with
all food elements. The trouble
heretofore has been that the con-
centrated food just doesn't seem
to do the business.
In the Spanish. American war
days it might have been the lack
Of vitamins, but nowadays we can
get vitamins in pill form so that
shouldn't be a difficulty. But the
complaints | heard during the
Standardization War had moth
ing to do with vitamins. 1t was
what might be called the element
of fillingness that the soldiers de-
plored.
When I Ay they deplored it, I
mean they really DEPLORED it!
Such command as have over the
cuss words in the English lam
guage was learned from the re-
marks of those soldiers in that
vacant lot behind my home en-
gagged in deploring their concen-
trated rations.
Modern Developments
doubt il matters will be much
improved with modern develop
ments either. l have heard ru-
mors to the effect that the morale
Of the present army is not quite as
high as the officers would like to
have it. l doubt if the morale will
be improved by the following
breakfast:
Pemmican biscuits, graham
crackers, malted-milk tablets,
canned veal loaf, soluble coffee and
sugar, stick Of gum, and water.
When the long shadows Of the
evening stretch across the camp
fires and the boys sit down to the
following dinner: Pemmican bis
cults, graham crackers, canned
pork-beef sausage, fudge candy,
lemonade powder and sugar, stick
Of gum and water, | doubt if the
old songs will ring across the wild
wood the way they did when we
had bully beef and all the trim
mings that go with it.
P.S. tried to get some Of this
concentrated ration in order to
try it myself before advising my
readers about it, but the Quarter
master Of the Chicago Depot tells
me that strike at the can COM
pany will delay procurement Of
this ration for several months.
