"Did you have one of your restless nights last night. I always know that you have been unhappy when you kiss me upon the forehead. Am I still your little comforter, papa," "les, darling. But, Bobe, try to understand me, dear. You know that I would advise ounly what was for your good do you not?" A puzzled expression crossed the sweet, distressingly blank countenâ€" ance. "Not call you papa?" she said slowly. "What would you have me call you?" He hesitagted a moment, then anâ€" swered : "Lilford." % A _ shudder "passed over her, strange in its inception. "No, not that!" she exclaimed. "I seem to have heard that name before â€"somewhereâ€" somewhere! I can‘t remember. What is it that makes life seem so changed?

A wild re morse filled all his soul, a remorse so great that passion and selfish desire were crowded out, leaving a mature purifed by selfâ€"loathing. "Yes." "Hush, my darling," he whispered, pressing the lids down over the strained ‘eyes with the tips of his fingers.

Fifteen minutes after he had. left Bebe, at her earnest request, alone in that room,; Edwin Chapman reâ€" turned to it. With the same nervous horror that had characterized his movements in leaving, he qpened the door and entered. â€" It required but a glance to tell ghn that his wife was there no long: er. Somehing in the heavy still ness seemed to weigh _ upon his breast until suffocation was threatâ€" ened. A wild anxiety took poskess ion of him. Hastily he sprang into the bedchamber adjoining but it, alâ€" so was empty. The very intensity of the silence seemed to tell him the truth. He rang the bell with haste and violence, meeting the halfâ€"frightenâ€" ed domestic as she was ascending the stairs. "Have you seen my wife?" he asked hurriedly, his haggard counâ€" tenance telling but too plainly what he feared. "No, sir!" she answered breathâ€" lessly. "See if she has gone to Miss Beaufort‘s room, or if Mr. Quintard has seen her. Quick!‘ The maid hurried away to do hla‘ bidding, but Quintard. brought his own answer. ‘ ‘"What in Heaven‘s name has hapâ€" pened?" he asked breathlessly. "God _ knows," returned Chap man. "I left my wife but for a momentâ€"I came back to find her gone. You heard what they told herâ€" that she was not my wife! Heaven knows what may have happenedâ€" what she has done! There is not a moment to be lost. Wfll}ou help me to find her?" It did not require words to comâ€" municate Charlie Quintard‘s answer. The quick, warm grasp of the hand was sufficient. But the precious moâ€" ments had been lost. C Sherwood Forest is so seldom visâ€" ited that no one had seen er could give any information of the unforâ€" tunate girl, so that the moments passed into hours, and the hours into days, without a trace being found. Even the little river Man was dragged in the fear of a ghastly disâ€" covery; but there was nothingâ€" nothing to speak either of Bebe livâ€" ing or of BeBbe dead. Chapman hadâ€"cabled to Meredith Lansing and the unhnappy . father had arrived on the first steamer. And gradually the search ceased, hope giving place to despair. "I thought I was insuring your happiness, my boy, and I have only put a greater blot oh it than there was before," he said miserably, with his white, quivering po buried in CHAPTER XXHIL of another, according to the: "Cour lerâ€"Journal."

In the Ypres salient there are claifed to be 2000 cemeteries where soldiers are buried. ‘The farming country hereabouts was partly reclaimed antâ€"we saw crops growing on land which once was no man‘s land. From Poperinghs head: lnfi towards Ypres and returning to Lille we are on the famous Menâ€" in road, which is probably the best known road to the British soldier. ‘This road has been called the "Vor-‘ dun of the British" as here the British regular army died in its tracks in the early stages of the war to stop the rush of the first German hordes. We stopped at the ro@dâ€" side and went ?rough a German blockhouse on the famous Hindenâ€" burg line which passed through this section of country. In our drive we saw numerous British tanks which were mired"in the Flanders mud and also saw big unexploded shells standing on end in the fields. We cannot picture to you the : utter ruin and desojation that was | wrought to the city of Ypres. The c beautiful large cathedral and im 1 mense â€"cloth hall, a white stone | . structure along with most of the city are nothing but a jumble of ; debris. â€"â€"This ‘clty seemed to be q the continual objective of the Gerâ€" j man High Command.

It was here 3Jso ‘ where poison gas was first used by ‘ the enemy and the attack was against the Canadians. From Lille we went south to Arras in order to motor through the Vimy Ridge sector. Our GovernorGeneral was the leader of the Canadians for a time in that part, and hence his title Lord Byng of Vimy. Here beginning on April 9th, 1017, in the face of 3000 enemy guns and in a shower of sleet the Canadians crowned themâ€" selves with glory and drove the enemy â€" over the Ridge, thereby breaking ~the egmy‘u grip on.

We also saw the bridge where the Germans crossed was fought over and the shell pitted country bears vivid testimony to this fact. . T the river Marne in 1914. As w# draw near Verdun we pass through Argonne _ forest which contains some 30,000 acres.. Verdun and the Frenchman‘s _ watchword, â€" "They shall not pass" are immortal. ‘The surrounding country impresses one as an ideal battle ground for warfare on a large scale. Verdun itself is the centre of what may be called a vast amphitheatre from which genâ€" tle slopes graduate round about to the summit of hilis miles away, where the outer forts are located, and on the far side of the forts the country slopes away again to the horizon. ‘The outer forts of Fort Vaux and Fort Dongaumont had unâ€" dérground connection with Verdun. It was around these two forts that| the most terrific fighting the world | has ever seen took place. We drove ' out toâ€" these forts and. for miles| around them the country is shell | pitted and barbed wire entagleâ€"| ments and camouflage work, and| dugâ€"outs by the hundreds could be seen. One hundred thousand shells fell on Fort Donaumont before it was finally reduced. It is claimed there remain unburied around these two forts the bodies of be tween three and four hundred thous and soldiers. _ Most of these of course are covered with earth by the bursting of shells and others have been covere| with loose earth, but the task has been begun to reclaim these bodies. as far as possible, and to officially bury them at ‘Thiamont farm. At Verdun we saw the famous Bayonet trench where 170 French heroes who, while waiting the signal to‘ attack were buried as they stood in the trench by a shell explosion and the ends of the rifles with bayonets atâ€" tached, can be seen protruding from the earth where these heroic fellows _ are sleeping their last |nloep. A fitting monument has !been erected over the tronch. From | Fort Vaux, which was once considâ€" 'l“” (lmww , but is now a battered mass of ruin, we look across L | the plain where the enethy hurled his | masses again andâ€"again under the Jnuotmtm. From here we border from whence the Kaiser viewed the operations of his army. We were in the underground works of the parts that were not destroyed rifc bombardment the underground copnections of these forts were finâ€" ally destroyed and the brave defenâ€" ders of the two forts were forsed to surrender. ‘The efforts to take Verdun lasted from Feb. 2ist to July ist, 1916 and the operations cost the auemy some 500,000 men On the . battieflelds we saw. in nutherable dugâ€"outs and wire entanâ€" gloments, as well as trenches of all kinds, sunken roads and light tailâ€" Boattered :over .the battleflelds all kinds of war relics could be: seen, but as serions and fatal accidents had happened strict orders are givâ€" en not to carry away anything, how aver. We brought along a few amail Now to return tp Paris. Porhdps no city is quite so fascinating as Faris by the river Seine. Whoever you may be, whatever things may attract you, you will be at home in you seek, for Paris is all things to all men. The artist, the student, the pleasure seeker, the fashion ;.renwr, the lover of horses, all can find their desires gratified and yet there is one thing the Parisian sudly lacks, and that is the spiritual, as the majority of them profess no reâ€" ligion. We were fortunate | enough to stop in the heart of the city at the Louvre Hotel. This is a fash jomable hotel and next the famous Louvre art gallery. In this gallery may be seen the famous Mona Lisa picture, which is priceless and had been stolen in recent years but was returned. Here we also saw Venus de Milo and many oth&plm of statuary. We visited the tomb of Louis XVI and Marié Antoinette and also that of Napoleon. We fhad a splendid view of the Kiffel tower which is 1000 feet high. We were in the G;and Opera house, which is officially styled the National Acadâ€" emy of Music. It is the largest theatre in the world and cost nearâ€" ly ten million of dollars. Being & national institution all operas must ‘bq sung in the French language. Champs Eilysees is the fashionable grive of Paris and is quite wonderâ€" ful. We saw almost an endtess display of war trophies, including aeroplanes captured from the Gerâ€" mans, and we also saw the railway coach in which the Germans signed the Armistice terms. miles, passing through beautiful forests planted by Louis XIV., and|. which are a very valuable asse: to| France at the present time. On our way we stopped at Malmaison castle which was given to Josephine by Napoleon after his divorcement. We | visited the Place of Versailles, and wandered through the Hall of Mirâ€" rors; which reach from the floor to| jhe ceiling. In this Palace the Peace Treaty was discussed, and we saw the table on which the Gerâ€" maung signed theâ€"peace terms at 2 pm., May 7th, 1919. This old palace has been the centre of rguch French bistory associated with such names as Antoinette, Josephine, Eugenie and is the place where the French had to submit to the humiliation of| having William of Prussia crowned | Emperor of Germany in 1871.
