Kacli more might l>e written of ttEletter, hut we will refrain, anil allow our readers a full measure of ■Bur Sentinel : this, my second sjiecial letter, I W try to write something about Idwon; but first, as I want to tell ^^^Bnnetccd tale, I will resume -HBi Brussels where I left off. " Jc left Brussels and Journeyed I JBt0 Paris again, some pleaseil o, and others of our party, ius to get to England. We nrlate ul night, nearly mid- ; in fact, very tireil and very .y. We were quickly drivenl to the Palais D'Orsay Hotel re we had spent over a week first arriving in Europe). It teem sort of homey amidst liar surroundings, and also it ed so good to have the inanclerks, waiters and maids, ^us words of welcome and s of recognition, and, as I falling asleep I still recall the warm feeling in my heart, ow I was not forgotten. TTienc s and words of welcome ^ost ttle in effort, I wonder why re so saving of them as wc cy through life, s next morning after brcakeverjbody di<l ijs everybody ed, as we had just a day and f liefore leaving for England, wc had been to most of the s of interest liefore. ' I hired i and again visited the grave lopin, and loving and playing lusic so much, I bought a h of flowers and placed it on >mb with feelings of mingled ons. I thought, many years passed since he left this earth fppiiis works live on, his music dog* in our hearts, and as I stood by his tomb in the early. !g sunshine of that beauti- . mner day, in imagination 1, sounds of wondrous melody by unseen hands, so sweet! it, with such glorious har-| , and yet with a plaintivej dominant, so appealing, y-very soul was stirred, tognized one of the beauti-: eludes of the Master. It 1 my heart strings thnt tnd my heart was warmed mforted and at peace, so with these feelings, I j tomb, and I realized that lly speaking, our lives are m posed of all triumphant, major chords, but many chords, of sadness and , interspersed. Yet as every' ,ncc is followed by harmony, re let Godyulc in our lives, ve have payed to the end Ue piece, it will be as He have It, and acceptable In' fht >ve on again, and suddenly I my name called. I looke.l tre was a French woman, a per correspondent, whom I lown and with whom I had I many happy hours when

. studying music iij Paris. It was ' i joyful meeting, and she insisted I "pon taking me to her mother's , for luncheon; and as she had a brief— holi'lay, she said she would . show me around to places I had . never seen. 1 thought 1 did jus- ; tice to the delicious food prepared, . but tlie dear old mother was i|uile ' . concerned, Itccause I did not eat I more, and exclaimed. "Why, Madame, you cannot he a true American, or else you arc ill I*- , J cause v.e Frenchwomen cannot fill . the stomachs of the Americans for i | thev, like the English, like to eat | ' much. Why," "(and here she i leaned toward me and said in a i • most impressive manner), "do you , "know they even feast at break- , fast." Well, we all hail n good |

laugh at that, then she took me by . the arm and marched me into the outer saloon, and showed me the photographs of her late husband, r who was a captain of cavalry, and k;her two boys, all In their uniforms and she said with tears in her eyes "My precious dead, they were killE ed fighting for my country." Then she straightened and said, "still my spirit is not broken, Vive la France.' And suddenly she begun singing with great fervor the Mar- . xelles, their battle hymn. It was : an 'inspiring sight, and I said to her when Rhe had finished, "Ma- i 11 dame you ure great, your precious I s dead may he at rest, hut yon are a indeed "carrying on." J The daughter and I left, and vis- ' 'I itcd u little French Mission, and ' - saw the great good. I icing done ' . there in helping the unfortunates.1' e Then on went we to a large 1 t building, where many dear French . soldier boys were being assisted | s back to health: but Oh! how my. I - heart did yearn over them. Some < I of their poor bodies were so mu- | r tilatcd, and so many with faces . t partly or wholly masked, as their | i fates had been partly shot off, and I i being remade. The happiest i ' one 1 talked to, had both arms ( • off; but he was soon to have arti- t I ficial ones, and he was full of jokes \

y about how he wc-lii wiggle his ne* i e fingers. He had all of us laugh- 1 e ing; hut the laughter Was very ; ' I. close to tears with me. He said , il he'd do it somehow, and work with , s them too. Very soberly he told me i s he was so sick of lieing fed like a - Imby, (of course this conversation > i ii was all in French). I spent a very ; lj profitable hour with those hoys; i » "war relics" as one laughinglv told , i me the hoys were, and I learned | - several lessors there thnt after- , s noon. Orte of the greatest was paj tience, an attribute I needed very | - much. After we left them we mo- . * tored rapidly to a Home for t f ; Foundlings. I just left my heart i with those French babies, s i clean . and so cute. No h.ihles in France • | is the cry? I answer. Yes still, si some, hut nut where they always , , 1 should lie. aenrding to the law of , > | God. i We next visited two big news- , I offices, even from bearding! 1 • the tity editor in his den, in one t ' office, (you know he is always sup- t ■ posed to have a grouch, this one j < didn't though), down to a rertain s ?! printer's devil. We even saw his r I famous dirty towel, then we watch- i t ed the tremendous printing press* t res, as they reeled off the early edi- '1 ■ tion of the evening paper. Here I r I I so enthralled I could scarcely i

I remetn l! her years ago. my joy in talum T one of my brother - reportorial as jl -ignmentx. on a city paper for i U week, while he was ill and agaii U some more. My friend whiske.i mi C ana) however, and we motored : ft 'long distance, in the old part o H f Paris, "till wc came to u ding? ' 1 [ i curio -hop. in a narrow -treet. E . had expressed a desire for certuo f objects, and as we enterr-l. ther. l>efore me was the same little ol > man. who ha I sold mc a real ch o. , bust of Napolo-n. aftei I h:i ! spent four full day - hunting fol : one, years before. He remember'cd me, even telling ine where I hni I lived, ami with wliom. Well. w« j had a nice little chat, and after I i had picked up o lot of Information land made several purchases, we left him, got in our taximetre. did some chopping on the Rue di. Iti- . voll, and boulevard ile l.'Opora. Then I bid my nice kind friend | goodbye, and motored hack to l; e j hotel in time to dress for din. r. I felt it had been a well spent day, (thanks to my French friend. This last day in Paris, was so delight - i ful, coril and sunshiny, not like j August, hut as 1 crossed the garj dens of the Louvre, one could see Autumn wus close at hand as the leaves were coloring and many I That night at dinner I realized I that most of our party had certainly been shopping, for there were | packages galore, and let me whisI j per ver low, new Paris hats restI i ed upoii the heads of most of my ■ I friends, making them look even [ : nicer than ever. We had a merry i social time that night together, i The next day we took the steamer . train en route for England, and ■ passed through quite ii big portion of the war district, and 1 was so glad to notice that everywhere ter-ttfl, I wus glad 1 had changed f my mind about going over to Lon- . don by airplane, for 1 would have . ; missed getting this information, ' ' and also some certain American ' relatives enjoyed peace at my del cision, which they otherv>*e would - j not have had. ' When we arrived at the French ■ 1 coast, several of the party were ' anxious about crossing the chan- ' ; nel, because having been sea-sick I crossing to Europe, they of course I hoped for a smooth sea, and we ■ certainly had it. I had crossed it seven times lie- 1 ' fore, hut never had 1 seen it as: - smooth as this time, add ' to our pleasure, th(""~*moonlight - 1 made everything beautiful. i I was hunting a sheltered nook, j ■ as the wind was chilly; hut as 1 I walked up and down the deck it ; did see mas if this was indeed lov- ! er's night, because in nearly every j dark or sheltered spot, there they were holding hands and spooning! ; happy love birds for sure, and I ■ thought the moon was partly responsible for that. 1 heard one' - love-struck feminine soul , as she put an arm around the! : neck of her escort, "Oh, Freddie, do you really, truly love me more than any other girl in the world?" - 1 was just aching to hear the masculine answer, hut something inside of me compelled me to tip- ' e d It!
