The tragedy of life had carried her beyond tears When he moved forward a step she turned. Her lips parted in sur- prise.

He kissed the tired eyes, the soft cheeks into which the color began to flow. At last she spoke. “It is you, isn't {t?

We're going home today—back to God's country, to friends and life aod love.” They made no count of time, so that neither knew how long it was before a denim-clad soldier stood saluting at the doorway. Over his shoulder Steve fired question at the man: “What do you want?” “The compliments of General Culvera, senor, but I was to re- mind you that dinner had been served for twenty minutes.” Steve and Ruth looked at each other and laughed.
