guess (promoted recently is
chief of the stations legal, boards
and claims section, and the oper-
alton of his section embraces al
of the aforementioned duties and
offices. All of these duties are
necessary ones, too, for if you
haven't known it before, opera
ting an Army post is like opera

counsel at hand at all times.
Gall actions of armies are bas-
ed on legality, both within its

actual combat has a set of laws
international ones governing the
practice of "civilized" warfare
which are not always adhered tc
by conflicting forces.) Somebody
gets hurt-civilian or soldier, by
a Government vehicle; a soldier
applies for discharge or retire
ment; civilian property is damag'
ed in military maneuvers; bills
for the temporary use of private
property are presented; a soldier
commits an offense and must be
tried by a court martial. These
and a host of other events are
almost daily occurrences within
any military establishment-anC
it takes a military lawyer tc
handle them, hence the Legal
boards and claims section.
''The work keeps Lieut.. Bau-

GROVER"

UNIV N
AS children, we were school,
mates together.
Today we're parted, but we
hope not forever;
We hope to meet him again above,
Where all is joy, happiness and
love.
Grover went out one day
And joined the Army of the
U. S. A.
He thought it his duty for his
country to fight,
And we hope he is in Heaven
tonight.
We hate to think of this terrible
loss,
But remember, Jesus died on
the Cross;
And He has a home for those who
live right,
And we hope Grover is there
tonight.
We've had many good times with
this boy,
And to think back over them
gives us joy,
But God saw fit to take him a.
way,
So we hope to meet him again
some day.
He died with the love of his
country in his heart,
But from his dear loved ones,
he hated to part,
The flowers on his grave win
soon fade away.
But the memory of Grover will
live all our days.
Written in honor of Pvt. Gro
yer G. Osborne.

from him" Marks gesture ex-
pressed all the hopeless futility
of his young battle to save him
self.
eff Uncle Herbert knew-oh,
I'm sure he would have told!'
Pam exclaimed. Hes a violent
tempered man, he's queer, but
he's just. I think he didn't
know"
tits certain he won't tell now;
I saw that in his face-When he
smashed that green god"
ooh, I can't think he knew"
she persisted.
Mark did not answer this; he
stood looking at her silently. Like
everything else in his life this
was to end. But he wanted to re-
member her as she stood there.
She looked so young and brave!
she was brave to call herself his
friend.
Even in the puzzle of her
thoughts of her uncle she felt his
eyes, they drew hers, she looked
, up like a child, tears misting, lips
tremulous.
''Oh," she gasped; Il hated Lam
don-the coward!"
He smiled. Her hot tone cham
pioned him; she was his friend.
"You know everything now"
he said gently, Il was going to
tell you all but I couldn't-it's
mot true; you believe that?"
She nodded, speeches..
1T will never be cleared up,
I'm afraid. There's only one
thing to do; I've got to make a
new life and a new name for
myself. I'm going out west, as
they say. don't know how far
as far as I can, 1 fancy. I'd like
! to feel free, to draw long breaths
of freedom; I've had fifteen years
of-the other thing!"
ooh, it's cruel!" she murmur-
ed; in the lamplight her eyes
looked dark in her pale face.
He could not go; he stood look
ing down at her, not touching her
he must go away an dnever see
her again, for he was sure that
he would never be cleared. She
was like a child, like a white
flower, he thought again. If a
fierce wind blew on her it would
break her; yet there was some
thing strong about her too.
1--WE got to CO." he whispered
at last.
She nodded, looking down, her
lips drawn close together.
He drew his breath hard. eff
I'd only come here like other
mem" he groaned.
She smiled, "You couldn't, :"
she said softly, ''for you're not
like anyone but yourself. I-you
believe me, don't you, when I
say trust you? l know you're
innocent"
Pam, I love your he answered
passionately. There! I never
meant to say it; I've no right to
say it, but I've got to; l loved you
that first day-you know it?"
She lifted her head at that. Il
know!" she said softly, Il knew
then"
He caught her in his arms and
held her close. IF I wasn't in
nocent of that charge 1 couldn't
touch you," he said, 1--WE no right
to do it now, for must go away.
1 didn't mean to tell you, but I'm
beaten, can't go without it. I've
got this to remember when I'm
alone-way off somewhere-try-
ing to make good!"
She looked up, touching his
shoulders with her strong little
hands. you're not going alone,
Mark. I'm going with you"
"You?" he gasped, the wild JOY
of it set his heart beating in his
throat. To take her with him

CHAPTER XII

"You-" Mark began to speak
to him, but he stopped short. 1t
was not worth while here; Burle-
son was right! He turned and
walked away into the hall.
It was a large hall, dim after
the manner of big city houses; the
only light in it was reflected on
the white marble tiles of the tes-
selated floor, and the glimmer of
a polished balustrade, where the
wide staircase assembled. In an
alcove-room behind the staircase,
shaded lamp burned. Mark S
first feeling was a consuming
rage at Landon.
"The sneak!" he thought, and
then, of Burleson: "He could have
saved mel"
He would not think of Pam;
that was over! It was like so
many things in his life-he had
been swept away by adverse cur
rent.
That's over" he thought bit
terly, making his way toward the
door.
He was new in the house and,
for a moment, he did not find it.
He found instead the alcove
room, the green glow of the shad-
ed lamp, the piled cushions in the
corner under the stairs.
They'll accuse me of wanting
to rob them next" he muttered
angrily and turned. He was in
sight of the entrance now.
Then someone called his name.
"Mark-Mark Grant,"
It was her voice and he stood
still. The blood rushed back to
his heart again and set it racing.
She
He was an ex-convict; he knew
it; he steadied himself; he did
not even hold out his hand when
she ran to him. 1t was so dim in
the hall he could not see her face
clearly, but he felt the tremor of
her hands on his arms.
Don't go" she almost sob
bed, caught herself and tried to
speak firmly-'until l tell you
He bent his head, looking down
at her.

THAT I'm still your friend!
''How can you You heard your
uncle-it's true, too, the accusa-
ton and the sentence were-what
they say"
II know!" her voice broke.
Come in here" she motioned
to the alcove room-'I-I must
ask you"
He went with her, chiefly be-
cause he wanted to see her face
again in the lamplight 1t looked
he thought, like a white flower
lifted sweetly to the sun.
"The jade god-tell me about
it," she said quickly; sit means
something-it meant something

odd, Grabbed, quarrelsome, but
he was never unkind to me-we
got on. I was with him that last
day when he bought that jade god.
It was in his pocket when I left
him; somehow I never thought of
it then as thing that might
clear me! He said he was going
to give it to Mr.. Burleson. I re-
member that now; your uncle was
his friend and business associate,

Timely Hints
By RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent

If shoes are "treed" or stuffed
with paper wads at night to pre-
serve their shape, polished reg
ularly to save the leather, and
taken to the shoemaker for re-
pair before they are "too far
gone, they will not only last
longer but also look far better.
Summer brings word of
warning on moth protection for
winter Woolens, coats, sweaters,
suits, dresses, blankets rugs, and
upholstery. This task should be
carefully done before the moth
begins to lay her eggs.
Good Care for Wool: Keep it
clean. When wool gathers much
soil, it is harder to bring back
that spick-and-span look. Per-
SEPARATION weakens wool. Grit
cuts it. Spots are moth bait.
Give it the air. A gentle airing
blows stale odors away and lifts
matted nap. Sun baths rout
moths from wool but take care
lest colors fade.
Mend it in time. Tiny holes
deserve CAREFUL mending and
are easier to hide than big holes.
If a thin place is reinforced it
may never break through.
Don't shock it. Wool can't
stand sharp temperature changes.
A plunge into hot water shrinks
the fibers and mats them. Dry
ing in cold blasts of air or by a
fabric. Once the comforting
hot stove shrinks and hardens the
softness is gone, it's gone.
Protect it from pests. There
are likely to be some clothes
moths or carpet beetles in almost
any home, at any time Of the
year. Keep them down and out.
When you take good care OF
wool things, you benefit three
ways. The wool keeps its fresh,
fluffy look. It holds its friendly
warmth. It gives longer wear.
