BOOK FIVE—CHAPTER XV AVhen Claude and David rejoined their battalion on the 20th of Sep tember, the end of the war looked as far away as ever. The collapse of Bulgaria was unknown to the Amer ican army, and their acquaintance with European affairs was so slight that this would have meant very little to them had they heard of it. The German army still held the north ami east of France, and no one could say how much vitality was left in that sprawling body. The battalion entrained at Arras. Lieutenant Colonel Scott had orders to proceed to the railhead, and then advance on foot into the Argonne. The car* were crowded, and the railway journey was long and fati guing. They detrained at night, in the rain, at what the men said seem ed to be the jumping-off place. There was no town, and the railway station had been bombed the day be fore. by an air fleet out to explode artillery ammunition. A mound of brick, and holes full of water told inhere it had been. The colonel sent ^Claude out with a patrol to find some place for the men to sleep. The pa trol came upon a field of straw stacks, and at the end of it found a black farmhouse. Claude went up and hammered on the door. Silence. He kept hammer ing and calling, "The Americans are here!" A shutter opened. The farm er stuck his head out and demanded gruffly what was wanted; "What how?" » Claude explained ' in his best Frenrh that an American battalion had just come in: might they sleep in bis field if they did not destroy his Stacks?” . "Sure," replied the farmer, and shut the window. That one word, com ng out of the dark in such an unpromising place, had a cheering effect upon the pa trol. and upon the men, when it was repeated to them. "Sure, eh?" They ke'pt laughing over it as they beat ■bout the field and dug into the straw. Those who couldn't burrow Into a stack lay down in the muddy stubbie. They were asleep before they could feel sorry for themselves. The farmer came out to offer his Stable to the officers, and to beg them not on any account to make a light. They had never been bothered here by air raids until yestrday, and It must be because the Americans were coming and were sending in ammunition. Cerhardt. who was called to talk If him, told the farmer the colonel dst study his map, and for that the wan took them down into the cellar, Where the children were asleep. Be fore he lay down on the straw bed ftis orderly had made for him, the •nlonel kept telling names and kilo meters off on his fingers. For of ficers like Colonel Scott the names 01 places constituted one of the real Sarriship* of the war. His mind Worked slowly, but it was always on ■ is job. and he could go without Bleep for more hours together than any of his officers. Tonight he had Scarcely lain down, when a sentinel brought In a runner with a message. The colonel had to go Into the cellar again to read It. He was to meet Colonel Harvey at Prince Joachim farm, as early as possible tomorrow morning. The runner would act as guide. The colonel sat with his eye on his watch, and interrogated the messen ger about the road and the time it would take to get over the ground. “What's Fritz's temper up here, gen erally speaking?" "That's as it happens, sir. Some times we nab a night patrol of a dozen or fifteen and send them to the rear under a one-man guard. Then, again, a little bunch of HeiniPs Will fight like the devil. They say It depends on what part of (Jermany they come from; the Bavarians and Saxons are the bravest." Colonel Scott watted for an hour, »nd then went about, shaking his Bleeping officers. "Yes, sir,” Captain Maxey Bprang to his feet a.s If he had been caught In a disgraceful act. He called his sergeants, and they l*-gan to heat the men up out of the straw-stacks ■ nd puddle*. Ip half an hour they fvere on the road. This was the battalion's first march over really bud roads. wh*-re walking was a question of pulling gnd balancing. They were soon warm, at any rate: It kept them sweating. The weight of their equip ment was continually thrown in the wrong place. Their wet clothing dragged them back, their packs got twisted and cut into their shoulders. Claude and Hicks began wondering to each other what it must have been like in the real mud, up about Ypres and Paaehendael, two year* ago. Hicks had been training at Arras last week, where a lot of Tommies were '‘resting" in the same way, and he had tales to tell. The battalion got to Joachim farm at 9 o'clock. Colonel Harvey had not yet come up. but old Julius Caesar was there with his engineers, and he had a hot breakfast ready for them. At 6 o'clock in the evening they took the road again, marching until day break, with short rests. During the night they captured two Hun patrols, a bunch of 30 men. At the halt for breakfast, the prisoners wanted to make themselves useful, but the cook said they were so filthy the smell of them would make a stew go bad. They were herded off by them selves, a good distance from the grub line. It was Gerhardt, of course, who had to go over and question them. Claude felt sorry for the prisoners; they were so willing to tell all they knew, and so anxious to make them selves agreeable; began talking about their relatives in America, and said brightly that they themselves were going over at once, after the war— seemed to have no doubt that every body would be glad to see them! They begged Gerhardt to be allow ed to do something. Couldn't they carry the officers' equipment on the march? No. they were too buggy; they might relieve the sanitary squad. Oh, that they would gladly do, Herr Offizier! The plan was to get to Rupreeht trench and take it before nightfall. It was easy taking—empty of every thing but vermin and human dis cards; a dozen crippled and sick, left for the enemy to dispose of, and sev eral half-witted youths who ought to have been locked up in some institu tion. Fritz had known what it meant when his patrols did not come back. He had evacuated, leaving be hind his hopelessly diseased, and as much filth as possible. The dugouts were fairly dry. but so crawling with vermin that the Americans preferred to sleep in the mud, in the open. After supper the men fell on their packs and began to lighten them, throwing away all that was not nec essary, and much that was. Many of them abandoned the new over coats that had been served out at the railhead: others cut off the skirts and made the coats into ragged jackets. Captain Maxey was horri fied at these depredations, but the colonel advised him to shut his eyes. "They've got hard going before them; let them travel light. If theyd rather stand the cold, they've got a right to choose." (Continued In The Morning Bee.) Beatrice Fairfax Problems That Perplex A Futile Love. DPar Miss Fairfax: Why does fate make one love another? I met a man three years ago. 1 can't forget him. I love him. But I can never marry him. I can't like any one else well enough to even go with them. 1 al ways compare them with Him. And my dearest dreams have been of a home with him and little girls nnd boys.

Dear Miss Fairfax: A young wo man. a few years my junior, loves me, but I do not reciprocate her affec tion. There is no other woman »n my life, but I must confess that I do not love her. In spite of the fact that she is sup posed, by my friends, to be above the average in looks, I can not bring my self to see why I should tell this girl that she is my heart's desire when I know perfectly well thHt she is not. With practically no reason at all. this girl told some of her feminine friends I that we were to become engaged shortly. If you could advise me, It would be greatly appreciated. B. Certainly you must be man enough to refuse to be railroaded Into a mar riage that Is distasteful to you. If you don’t care for a girl and don't want to marry her, you can easily make that clear enough so that a woman of any pride and fine feelings will not "persecute" you with unwel come attentions._ Mrs. Sincere: Write to one of the Omaha hospitals for Information re garding the nurses' training class. If you would be interested in any other ilne of work write to the Y. W. C. A. employment department or send me your name and address. Anxious: The character analyst you refer to has moved to Chicago. 22 Marriage Licenses Issued Tuesday in Omaha Twenty-two marriage licenses were issued Tuesday In the office of the clerk of the county court at the court house, ages of the appli cants ranging from 19 to 69.
