It Was a Mournful' Journey. One of the officers at Albert was looking, at me in a curiously intent fashion. I noticed that. And soon he came over to me. i "Where do you go next, Harry?" he asked me. nis voice was keenly sympathetic, and -his eyes and his manner were very grave. v To a place called Ovilliers, I said. "So I thought," 'he said. He put out nis nana, anu 4 gnppca it, uarq. "I know, Barry. I know exactly where you are going, and I ill send . .1 I T . . 1l !. J a man with you to act as your guideH who knows the spot you want to reach." I couldnt' answer him. I was too deeply moved. For Ovflliers is the spot where myN son, Captain John Lauder, lies in his Soldier's grave. That grave has been, of course, from the very first, the final, the ultimate objective of my journey." And that morning, as we set out from Trame court, Captain Godfrey had told me, with grave sympathy, that at last w-e were coming to the spot that had been so constantly in my thoughts ever since we had sailed from Folke stone. And so a private soldier joined our party as guide, and we took to thve road again. The Bapaume road it was a famous highway, itterly contested, savagely fought for. It was one of the stragetic roads of that whole region, and the Hun had made a desperate fight to keep con trol of it. But he had failed as he has failed, and is failing still, in all his major efforts in France. There was no talking in our car. which, this morjiing, was the second in the line. I certainly was not dis posed to chat, and I suppose that sympathy for my feelings, and my gluinness, stilled the tongues of my companions. And, at any rate, we had not traveled far when the car ahead of us stopped, and the soldier from Albert stepped into the road and waited for me. I got out when our car stopped, and joined him. "I will show you the plice now, Mr. Lauder," he said, quietly. So we left the cars standing in the road, and set out across a field that, like all the fields in that vicinity, had been ripped and torn by shell-fire. All about us, as we crossed that tragic field, there were little brown mounds, each with a white wooden cross upon it. June was out that day in full bloom. All over the val ley, thickly sown with those white crosses, wild flowers in rare pro fusion, and thickly matted, luxuriant grasses, and all the little shrubs that God Himself looks after were grow ing bravely in the sunlight, as though they were trying to hWe the work of the Hun. It was a mournful journey, but, in some strange way, the peaceful beauty of the day brought comfort to me. And my grief was altered by the vision of the grief that had come to so many others. Those crosses, stretching away as far as my eye could reach, attested to the fact that it was not-I alone who had suffered and lost and laid a sacrfice upon the altar of my i country. And, in the presence of so many evidences of grief and desolation a private grief sank into its true proportions. It was less keen, the agony $f the thought of my boys was as sharp as ever. But I knew that he was only one, Gillin Examines Agents for Internal Revenue Service John J.

And there were so many like him and so many like me, God help us all! Well, He did help me, as I have told, and I hope and pray that He has helped many another. I believe! He has; in deed, I know it. J J -" Hogge and Dr. Adam, my two good friends, walked-with me, on thlt sad pilgrimage. I was acutely con scious of their, sympathy; i,t was sweet and .preciou4 to have it. But I do not think we exchanged a word as we crossed pit field. There wai no need for words,: I knew,, without speech from them, how they fek, and they knew that I kneW. So we came, when we were, perhaps, half a milt of the Bapaume roado a slight eminence, a tiny hill that rose from the field. A little military cemetery crowned it. Here the graves were set in ordered rows, and there was a fence set around them, to keep them apart, and to -mark that spot as holy ground, until the end of time. Five hundred British boys lie sleeping in that small acre of silence, and among them is my own laddie. There the fondest hopes of my life, the hopes that; sustained , and ..cheered ,me through many years, lie buried. ; No one spoke. 1 But the' soldier pointed, silently and eloquently, to one brown mound in a row ofbrown mounds that looked alike, each like the other. I hen he drew away. And Hogge and Adam stopped and stood together, quiet "and' grave. And so I went alone to my boy s grave, and flung 'myself down upon the warm, friendly earth. ,My memories of that moment are not very clear, but 1 think that for A few minutes I was utterly spent that my collapse was complete. ' '," -1 . He wa"s such a good boy! I hope you will not think, those of you, my friends, who may read wlrat I am writing here, that I am exalting my lad above all Nie other unions wno aiea lor King ana coun tryor, and aye. above the brave laddies, of other races who died to stop the' Hun. But he was such a Jjood boyl 1 As I lay there on that brown mound, under the June sun that day, all that he had been, and all That he had meant to me and to his mother came rushing back afresh to my memory, opening anew my wounds of grief. I thought of him as a Jbaby, and as a wee laddie be ginning to run around and talk to us. I thought of him in every phase and bit of his life, and of the friends that we had been, he nd II Such chums we were, always! And as I lay there, as I look back uppn it now, I can think of but the one desire that ruled and moved inc. I wanted to reach my arms down into that dark grave, and clasp my lupr tightly to my breast.' and kiss him. And I wanted to thank him for what he had done for his coun try, and his mother, and for me. Again there came to me, as I lay there, the same gracious solace that God has given me after I heard of his glorious death. And I knew that this dark grave, so sad and lonely and forlorn, was but the temporary bivouac of my boy. I knew that it was no more than a trench of refuge against the storm of battle, in which he was resting until that hour shall sound when we shall all be reunited beyond the shadowy borderland of death. day. There are about 100 members of the club,7 and Secretary Hollis Johnson says that fully 250 people are expected at the picnic, as each member may take his family and any guest he ycares' to invite.

" 'Well, I was roamin' in the gloamin' myself, and as I went I hummed that very songf under my breath. And I came, in my walk to a little cemetery, on a tiny "hill. There were many mounds there and many small white crosses. About one of them a Union Jack was wrapped so tightly that I could not read the in scription upon it. And something led me to unfurl that weather-worn flag, so that I could read, And what do you think? It was the grave of Harry LLauder's son, Captain John Lauder of the 'Argyle and Sutherland High landers, and his little family crest was upon the cross.N " 'I stood there, looking , down at that grave, and T said a little pray er, all by myself, And then I re wound the Union Jack about the cross. I -went over to some ruins nearby, and there I found a red rose growing I do believe it was the last rose of summer.
