See this brown-haired boy; his face is unmarred, though the shell tore his slen- der body terribly. Do you remember a year ago when we motored down from London into Sussex?

And that evening, at Lewes, when we stopped at his mother's cottage, do you remember the anxious little woman who came hurrying to the door to greet her boy; her last boy? How graciously she thanked the kind gen- tlemen who had engaged him to drive for them? I can see even now the anxious, tender look of her face we drove away. Perhaps, there in the cottage door at Lewes she is standing now, looking far away. She would be glad that his face was not disfigured. The men with the shovels are coming now. Soon they will have the trench dug for Jules, and Louis, and the boy. How they would have loved each other had they this proud, gentle, polite Jules; this great, jolly, -loving Louis; this earnest, thoughtful, English boy. Perhaps, when they are in immortality they will come to kncw each other, and understand, and forgive. GIRL KILLED BY arranged = for to come and my sition, and we stay younger sister with us.
