It was with Home relief that Mr. Ple.y- dell was informed that Mr. Hryant wan not at home, lie -wan. however, received by Mi6H .1 .' kr-.in. and it wa evident that In 1 had not tho leuet intention of being pleasant.

"I have come of my own acord." Mr. Pleydtll replied a little oldly. 'I am anxiouH to ipeak to Mr. Hryant." "Well, you can't opeak to her." ena.pped M .. r. Jackeon, "bex'uuse ehe isn't here, and Kho won't bo here for Home time, either; tihe is up in the north of England, work- ing for borni'lf and working in the proper way; and if you are seeing Mr. Bryant, you can tell him from me that bin wife'* done with cooking and ecrubbing and turning bereelf into a elave for a uelfish, idle beaet. He may try a.11 he will to get her back, but eh won't go. Bhe'a done with him for good." When Mr. Pleydell mildly ventured to ;i k If he might have Mrs. Bryant's ad- drees in the north, this was refused. "No," said Mis Jackeon. "Knid made me promise solemnly not to tell anyone wh-:Te she was. If you want to write to her you can send a letter here. I'll Bee that ehe get 1 * it." Mr. Pleydell walked away from the flat*, feeling very much annoyed. He had un- dertaken this little journey actuated by tho kindest motives. His intention had been to put things ae smooth and right a he could between Julian and his wife: above all. he intended to let Mrs. Bryant know tho truth, and to tell her that though apparently her husband had made his choice, this really had been decided for him. and that lie was quite unable at the moment to deal with this matter or with any other. It had crossed his mind to inform that very harp-tongued young woman that Mr. Bryant was very ill, ceriouely IB; but. she had been so unpleasantly hostile that he had felt it better to say nothing. In bin o'd-fnehioned mind, however, he was greatly disturbed. In the nrst place the excitement which had crept into his uneventful life was a incut disturbing element. In the second, the appeal that Julian Bryant had made to him so for- cibly oame back every now and then to prick his conscience. For. after all. he had not done what the young man had expected of hi.-n; he wan to flnd Mrs. Bry- ant, to flnd her In the real eenee of the word: yet though fhe had been traced she was no nearer returning to her husband. Mr Pleydell did not hesitate to confess to himo:f that it was a cowardly sug- gestion on his part; but. all the same, ho was considerably relieved that this being the eve of his usual holiday, he would be out of town when Mr. Bryant would be well enough to ask i|iieition. "Probably Tenderten understands this sort of thing bettor than I do," he caid to h inifcel f One thing be did do. however; he wrote to Knid informing her that he had been instructed by her husband to obtain the knowledge of her whereabouts. In ni stilted phraseology he spoke of Mr. Bry- ant'9 di*trem of mind: but he did not go Into any details; and he finished his note by begging Mrs. Bryant lo b so good as to inform him as to whether ehe stood in any need of assistance. M ... .lackton hesitated a. -little while before sending on the letter to her friend. She bad been very kind to Kind Bryant. As she sat thinking that memorable day when the truth of what was pawing wl! her husband had been revealed to Knid in such uncompromising fashion, she had realn.il that ther was only one person who could help her; and though aam and again she rejected with a little shiver the thought of having to confess lo Hybil Jai-kuon that her marriage was mich a failure that she bad found her- self compelled to wcparate from her hus- band no other way presented itself to her. and llnali'y when she had written that little letter to Julian and had du- ally left her home.

The methods of handling the wounded in the German army are described by a correspondent of the Chicago News who is with the right wing of the Germany army in France. He says : Every soldier in the German army lias sewn under a corner of his coat a strip of rubber cloth. Under this strip is a piece of antiseptic gauze, a strip of bandage, and plas- ter and cloth for the outer band- age. This cloth bears in simple pic- tures directions for dressing every sort of wound. When a soldier is wounded either he or some comrade rips open this package and applies at once the life-saving dressing, which will last at any rate until tlie soldier i brought to a station, where the first scientific attention is given. Through this simple and inexpen- sive device many German soldier? who have been slightly wounded in battle have returned to their com- rades within a few days completely well, and have taken their place? in the ranks once more. Sanitary Corps (inther Wounded. The ordinary procedure of caring for the wounded in the German army is for the sanitary corps, which is well provided with stretch- ers and bandages, to gather up the wounded on or near the firing lines and bring them to a gathering point a little way behind the lines. Here the army surgeons are ready to begin work at once .upon the most urgent cases. They are assisted by menrbers of the corps who remove the temporary band- ages and put on dressings which will last until the soldier reaches a hospital. Then from this gather ing paint the wounded soldiers are put on stretchers in Red Crow wagons and carried to the field hos- pitals a few miles farther back, where doctors and nurses are at work. . These hospitals are usually estab- lished in village churches or town halls. One room is cleared and ar- ranged for an operating room, where bullets and pieces of shell are removed and amputations are made if necessary. Village Church as Hospital. I visited such a field hospital. It. was a little whitewashed village church heated by a stove. Every- where were white bods made of straw and covered with sheets. Perhaps twenty wounded were here including two captured Irishmen. They lay quite still when the army doctor ushered us in, for they were too seriously wounded to pay much attention to anything. Near this hospital was another in a town hall. While we were there a consulting surgeon arrived to investigate the condition of a seriously wounded lieutenant, whose leg might need PACKAGE Why take chances by asking for "A Dollar's Worth of Sugar?"

Slightly wounded soldiers, whom it is not necessary to leave for a while in the field hoppitals, are sent directly to these larger hospitals and thence after a short convales- cence, are loaded intn Red Cross trains and sent home for recovery. Later they return to take their places in the regiments. Trains Meen Daily. Such trains can be seen daily along any main line of railroad. In some cases freight cars with straw bedding are used. Near the large hospital I visited was a graveyard where there were scores of neatly marked fresh graves, each bearing a cross or tab let with the name of the soldier and his regiment, division, and corps marked on it. The identity of each soldier is eaiily determined from the name plate which he wears in a little leather purse suspended from around the neck. After a battle these plates are gathered from the dead and from these the death lists are made out. After a battle where the death^ mount into the thousands some field will be shut off for a cemetery, and there the bodies are buried, each grave receiving some kind of a cross wherever it is possible, but here no names can be attached. There will be many homes in which there will not even be known where , the absent ones are buried. FREE TO BOYS Mechanical Train & Tracks BRITAIN'S IUTTI.E SOM.J.
