Ing the war more than 500000 poten tial lives During the same period he estimates that Germany has Jost 2 600000 and Hungary 1500000 The greater decline in tho birth rate In the central empires is ascribed to the fact that the poorer classes those coun tries have suffered greatly in health and vigor on account of the war while the corresponding classes In Greet Britain have actually enjoyed

meaaage from him which bo had warned me how to Interpret Each morning nmdo a most careful toilet putting on my very best ault (or I was resolved that last of me shnuhl bo no plcselng ona ia could possibly contrive 1 knew bls I ride the fastidiousness which be mndn almost fault knew also that there would be many other women at tho camp to say good by and was deter mined that Dicky should have no reason to bo even unconsciously critical of my grooming It was on the Wednesday following hts Sunday nt home that the message came and in spite of my constant expectation the actual realization Ct it left nra taint and trembling you vote came over the with elnborafa carelessness but I who knew his every Intonation detected the excitement in his voice You Very Busy?" "Yes answered quickly and then wafted tensely with one hand gripping the edge of the telephone stand for his next rvords "Are you very busy?" "Not particularly why?" I tried to copy his careful caaunlnoM wondered If you Ilka to run up here little while I have two or three hours ot leisure but not enough to go homo" lovu to eomo over" I replied promptly "and fortunately all dressed for the street I II be there In just a short time for get Doran" It was extravagance I knew for aw to take the village taxi across to Mine ola when I could have gone by trolley but the trolley trip would have taken tho greater part ot an hour while by taxi I could get to camp In less than 15 minutes And every extra minute with Dicky was worth its wetglit In gold to me the Dicky replied fond ly "Good by" I telephoned Doran got Ids promise to be st the door within five minutes then went upstairs to put on my hat and furs "Tell Mrs Graham I went out on an errand I said to my little maid a moment later in the kitchen I was thankful Indeed that Mother Graham was out walking with baby She had bidden Dicky good by ha xvas home not feeling equal to going to the camp nnd I knew it would ba much bettot for hir not to know the exact time ot his real departure Doran made unusually good time on the trip over but the scant quarter of nn hour seemed many times Its length Hut at last I was in the quarters where Mts Durkco worked every day as a volunteer information clerk for the air men and where Dicky and I had al ways met each other upon my visits Ha was waiting for me

position xvould not Jet her betray her knowledge "Perhaps I could manage to clear out this little office for a few minutes after awhile if you've anything special to say to Madge" sho said In a low to Dicky "Indeed no dear little friend" Dicky rej white I kissed her warmly for her thoughtfulness "Madge stay very long and we'll Just stroll around a bit" "Get along with you then" she said hastily and I suspected that she couldn't bear to look at us any longer that tho thought of our Imminent part ing brought to her the day when her son Alfred left her tor In rance" Dicky caught hold ot my hand as turned away drew it up Into hl own and so held it all of the time we were walking But the little endearing touch caused not even a curious or amused look of other couple were promenading In tho same fashion Lads with their mothers men with their sweethearts or wives were scattered all over the walks ot the camp all absorbed tn their own affairs But to the otcrnal credit of American we man hood I saw but few reddened eyes and but one or two women frank ly weeping The strain the torture ot separation was mirrored in their eyes but their faces were calm even cheer ful their voices composed "Now one thing I want you to promise me Madge" Dicky said as our time together came to an end and he strolled with me book to the entrance from which I meant to walk to the trolley "and that Is you're not to worry one bit about the passage over It I were going on a fishing smack or a tanker it would be different about the calibre of those devils But you notice they gotten any trans ports to speak of re so carefully convoyed that (here any risk to spenk of we get to the dock xve'll bo allowed to write short messages homo telling of our safe passage They will be held there and as soon as the officials are cabled of our safe arrival In rance they'll mail those messages But It will be two weeks at least be fore you get nny rnesage ami in the mean time promise me not to at least any more than you can he finished whimsically "1 can promise that much" I replied with a smile that afiald was very much ot a travesty "Nnd now Dicky looked around to see that no one was In im mediate earshot said all there was to say the other night so bld me good by a bit ot superstition in me you know" good by but godspeed my carling" I whispered as his arms closed round me and I lifted my face to his The next
