Mi- chael here when the mailman handed her an official photograph of the grave in France where her blue-eyed. giant, soldler son lay, sleeping Wwith, the heroes of the great war Across the card ran the legend, October 17, 1918,” but her son’s name was Austin Michael. And in that moment ‘there was born to the brave- hearted woman a hope time alone could_kill that she would see again the six-foot curly headed younster who marched so gaily out to battle when his country ecalled Perhaps you who read may help her vision to’ fulifillment. For ther may be wandering some where in the country a lad {rom whose mind the impact of a German bullet swept the ties of memory, yet who writes always to a mother he knows not how to address. Mrs. Michael has carried her search far, and here and there bas found tales of “Big Mike" as his “buddies” knew him, which filled her with tear- ful pride. But also she found conflist- ing accounts in the aqfficial record of his death and burial and strange re- ports at hospitals she visited of a patient long treated and whose de- scription tallied closely with that of her son, but who was known as “Dig Tom Hinnegun." lig Tom” too has vanished, and until she has found him, Mrs Mi- chael will not discard the hope that he may be her son, his ddentity lost in the crash of the bullet that scered his head. Boys who fought with told his mother of the great “Hik in Irance when man after man topple from exhaustion and finally “Big Mike” himself went down in a jangling pile. When they examined him, they found the rifles and equip- ment of a squad of men strung about his huge frame, carried to case weaker cqmrades. They told her too, of the night wHen a bullet struck him down, but here there was a difference in the tales that met the mother's heart strings fluttering anew. Some of them said “Big Mike” had laid two days un- der a blnket, there in the heat of the battle, given up for dead. But later signs of life were seen and he went back on the weary road to the hospital At one hospital, officials thought they recognized a photograph of “Big Mike” shown by the eager mother as that of “Big Tom'” who also had stopped a bullet with his head It was “Big Tom,” they said, who wrote endlessly to his mother but knew not where to send the letters. And in Washington kindly officials poured over the records to aid the search. They found a queer tangle showing that “Dig° Mike” apparently has been twice buried by regimental chaplains. Once in the honor grave yard at Consenoye and again at Meus There was a difference too, in ident- ification numbers, and the mother came home, weary dejected, but still with high hope in her heart that time would give back her son.
