'"Thrue for ye, thin, it's on'y the half of twins ye are!" sighed Shaun.

"I could not regret the experi- ence,"" Mr. Oakley concludes, "but I felt myself treated not quite fair- ly by a fate that confided so much, yet withheld the rest.

War Supreme Test of Women's Affection. Berlin is a city of saddened wo- men, rich and poor, young and old, all know the great sorrow of war. Edith Donnerberg Dunaew, who has just arrived in Washington from that stricken city, said: '"Be- fore I escaped from Berlin I saw sights that will stay in my heart forever. The city is full of women who force their lips to a patriotism their souls reject. have seen scores of 'girls who married their soldier sweethearts tem. minutes af- ter the first call to war, and found their names in the list of killed within a week thereafter. Some- thing sadder still is when = the soldier - sweetheart - husband comes back from the battlefield maimed and crushed. Oh, these are the ter- rible tests! I have watched hospi- tal scenes, dramatic enough, tragic enough, to build a hundred play houses upon, I have seen girls rush out, bring back a priest and go through her marriage ceremony right there, while the poor, shat- tered creature on the cot wept, half in protest at the sweetheant's sac- rifice, half in grateful joy." And she continued Hy "I have geen the other side; when the girl could not accept her cruel fate ; when her spirit 'crumpled under the test; when she. turned away from the maimed form, unable to endure what fate required of her.

Lord Kitchener walked into one of the hospitals in London the other day to visit the wounded soldiers returned from the front. He stop- ped by one man's bed. "Where were you hurt, my man ¥' he asked. 'Sabre cut, sir," said the chap under covers, trying to salute. 'On my leg, sir."' "Sorry," said Kitchener, 'Hurry up and get well." The nurse spoke up. "He has a bullet hole through his shoulder, sir,"' said she. "He did- n't say anything about that." "Quite right," said Kitchener. "A bullet doesn't amount to much. I carried one myself for three years." A bullet doesn't amount to much in this war, either. Broadly speak- ing, it either kills the man or puts him on the invalid list for a rather short time. The same thing has been reported in every modern war. The slender, high power bullet of to-day may not even take a man out of ithe firing line. y "I know of one man,"' said an army surgeon, 'who was hit three times in six days. Each bullet cut through the flech of an arm, and he just tied up the hole and kept up with his company. He took part in every subsequent engagement until a ball passed through the bone of his leg . Then he had to go to the rear." 'Amputation 1' 'Not at all. The bullet drilled a clean hole through his leg bone. He should be back on the firing line in another month." Far more remarkable cases are continually being reported. man was shot through the back of ithe head and fought eon all day. He had no idea he had been so ceri- ously wounded. When he reported to the surgeon at night he complain- ed that his head ached. The vast majority of those in the hospitals in England suffering from bullet wounds will be in battle again be. fore the war is over.
