By Associated Tress. London. May H>.—The outcome of the eagerly awaited Kusalan debate Tuesday in the house of commons was the announcement that there would be no immediate break between Eng land and IJussla, but that negotia tions would be started through Leonid Krassin, who was in the gallery lis tening to tile debate.

Krassin and that, in order to enable the latter to communicate with his government in Moscow, the time limit mentioned in the British ultimatum to the soviets w-ould Im reasonably extended.

BOOK WVE, CHAPTER III The next morning when Claude ar 1 lived ai the hospital to see Fanning, lie found every one too busy to take account of him. The courtyard was full of ambulances, and a long line of camions water! outside the sale. A train-loud of wounded Americans had come In, sent l>aek from evacua tion hospitals to await transportation home. As the men were carried past him. ! he thought they looked as if they had been slek a long while—looked. Indeed, as if they could never get well. The boys who died fin liourd | the Anchises had never -■•-tiled ns i sick as these did. Their skin was 1 yellow or purple, their eyes were sunken, their lips sore. Everything that belonged to health had left them, every attribute of youth was gone ■ Ore poor fellow, w hose face and trunk was wrapped in cotton, never stopped moaning, and as lie was car ! ried up the corridor he smelled hor ribly. The Texas orderly remarked to Claude. "In the beginning that I one only hail a finger blown off: I wr old you belie\e itV’ i These were the first wounded men Claude had seen. To shed bright blood, to wear the red badge of cour age—that was one thing: but to be reduced to this was quite another. Surely, the sooner these boys died. , the better. The Texan, passing with his next j load. ask<d Claude why he didn't go nto the office and wait until the rush ! was over. Isioklng In through the ‘ glass door, Claude noticed a young 1 man writing at a desk enclosed by j a railing Something about his figure, | about the wav he held his head, was familiar. When he lifted his left arm to prop opeu the page of his ledger, it was a stump below the el bow. Yes, there could be no doubt about it: the pale, sharp face, the beak nose, the frowning, uneasy brow, i Presently, as If lie felt u curious eye upon him, the young man paused in his rapid writing, wriggled his shoal- . ders. put an Iron paperweight on the page or his hook, took a ease from his ixK-ket and shook a clgaret out j on the table. Going up to the railing. \ t'laude offered him a cigar. ",\o, thank I you. I don't use them any more. | They seem to heavy for me.” He ! struck a match, moved his shoulders again ns if they were cramped, and ' sat down on the edge of his desk. “Where do these wounded men come from?" Claude asked. “1 just got in on the Anchises yesterday." "They come from various evacua tion hospitals. I believe most of them are Ihe Ilelleau Wood lot." ( “Where did you lose your arm?" "Cantlgny. I was in the First divi sion. I'd been over since lust Btp Umber, watting for something to hap pen, and then got tlxed in my hist engagement." "Can’t you g» home?” "Yes. I could Hut I don't want to. I've got used to things over here. I was attached to headquarters, in Paris for awhile.” Claude leaned across the rail. "We read about Cantlgny at home, of course. Wo were a good deal excited. 1 suppose you were?” "Yes. we were nervous. We hadn’t been under fire, and we'd been fed up on ail that stuff about it's taking 50 year* to build a lighting mach.ne. | The Hun*had a strong position; we looked up that long hill and wondered ] how we were golug to behave." As he talked the hoy s eyes seemed to he moving ail the time, probably be cause he could not move his head at all. After blowing out deep clouds of smoke until his eigaret was gone, he sat down to his ledger and frowned at the page in a way which said he i was too busy to talk. Claude saw Dr. Trueman standing in the doorway, waiting for him. They , made their morning call on Fanning j and left the hospital together. The doctor turned to him ss if he had; something on his mind. "I saw you talking to that wry n-cted boy. How did he seem, all right?" "Not exac tly. That is. he seems very nervous. Do you know any- : thing about him?” "Oh. yes! He's a star patient here, ! u psychopathic vase. I had just been , talking lu one of the doctors about i him. when I came out and saw you with him. He was shot in the neck ot Cantlgny, where he lost his arm. The wound healed, hut his memory is affected; some nerve cut, 1 suppose, that connects with that part of his brain. This psychopath, Phillips, takes a great interest in him and keeps him here to observe him. He's writing a book about him. He says the fellow has forgotten almost every thing about his life before he came to France. The queer thing is. it's Ma recollection at women that is , most affected. He can remember his father, hut not his mother: doesn't know if he has sisters or not-—can j remember seeing girls about the j house, but things they may have been ; cousins. Ills photographs and belong ings were lost when he was hurt, all ex' opt a bunch of letters he had in . his pocket. They are frouj a girl he's I engaged to, and he declares he can't 1 remember her at all; dca-sn't know' what she looks like or anything about her. and can't remember getting en-' if aged. The doctor has the letters. Thev seem to ha from a nice girl in / Vi I* own town who Is v ry ambitious for him to make the moat of himself 1 Me fh-setted soon after he whs sent to this hospital, ran away. Ho was found on a farm out ip the country here, where the sons had been killed and the people had sort of adopted hint. He d quit his uniform and was wearing the clothes of one of the dead sons. He'd probably have got away with it. If he hadn't had that wry neck. Home one saw him in the fields and recognised him and reported him. 1 Kuess nobody cared much but this psychopathic doctor: lie wanted to get hla pet patient back. They call him ‘the lost American’ here." “He seems to be doing some sort of clerical work,” Claude observed dis creetly. “Ves, they say he's very tveli edu cated. He remembers the books he has read better than his own life. He can't recall what his home town looks like, or his home. And the women are clear wiped out, even the girl he was going to marry." Claude smiled. "Maybe he's fortu nate In that." The doctor turned to him affection ately. "Now, Claude, don't begin to talk like that the minute you land in this country." Claude walked on past the church of St. Jacques. Last night already seemed like a dream, but it haunted him. He wished he could do some th ng to help that boy; help him get away from the doctor who was writ ing a book about him, and the girl v ho wanted him to make the most of himself; get away and be lost alto gether in what lie had been lucky enough to tind. All day. as Claude came and went, he looked among the crowds for that young face, so com passionate and tender. (Continued In The Morning Iter I Births and Deaths Birth*.

They do not have the neces sary bulk or roughage that makes ALL BRAN positive in its mechan ical action! That is why Kellogg's Bran is a necessity! Kellogg's Bran—because it is ALL BRAN—Is GUARANTEED to give you permanent relief if you will eat two tablespoonfuls each day, or as much with each meal in chronic cases! If you would realize how deli cious Kellogg's Bran is—cooked, krumbled and ready to eat—and what it means to your health—you would not lose a minute starting to cut it!
