* THE MEETING
* BY JULIA A, ROBINSON .
*
1# * * * * * * * * * * *
Her soldier boy was coming home
and: Nita dreaded the meeting. Of
course, she would have to see him and
he would find out her deception, What
would he . think cf her? How could
she bear that he should took at her?
It had all begun at Lie girls' Red
Cross meeting. "Let's pin our names
and addresses on the' inside of these
socks we are knitting," suggested May
Bond. "Perhaps the soldiers who get
them will write to us,"
"Good!" cried the • other girls.
"Weiuld jt not be fun to get a letter
from a soldier."
Each girl, as she finished a pair of
socke pinned her name on the inside
and they were sent out, After a time
letters vegan to arrive from the boys
at thgefront, telling of war experiences
and of army life. The girls read thein
aloud, with many comments and much
Interest, Some were from French sol-
diers and were written in broken Eng-
lish, hard to make out; Some were en-
tirely in French; then the girls sum-
moned ail their knowledge of the lan-
guage and tried to puzzle them out,
even bringing out the big French dic-
tionary and pouring over it. Some let-
ters were from our own Canadian boys
"over there." One girt had a letter
from her own brother, for her socks
had fallen to him,
"Glad to find you're such a good knit
ter," he wrote. "Your socks are the
best yet."
Nita. in spirit of fun, had pretended
in her letter that she was somebody's
maiden aunt, and wrote in a motherly
strain. She had hardly expected her
soldier to write more than once, but he
did. Her letters were filled with good
advice and suggestions for his health
and comfort, and he seemed to like
them: Not once•in her letters did she
forget herself and. tell of the fun she
was having with the girls, of her stud-
ies and outdoor sports. Once she
told him that the girls were trying to
knit andesew, but she didn't suppose
they would accomplish much; girls
were so flighty.
"There won't be any romance for
me out of these letters," Nita laughed.
'"He-thinks'I ant an old staid. 1 don't
believe he'll want to see me when he
comes home and I'm sure I wouldn't
want him to, i wonder if he wishes 1
were a girl," she added to her self, "I'm
glad he doesn't know."
Nolv, the war was over and the boys
were coming home. Nita's soldier had
written that he would be among the
first to return. ' He was longing to see
her, to tell her now how much good
her letters, her advice and her wise
counsel had done him. He knew she
had a kind, motherly heart and sym-
pathetic eyes—were they blue?—a
dear mouth that smiled; and helpful
hands, He had so much enjoyed the
socks and sweaters she had sent. They
were lust what his mother would have
sent him had she been living. He
was really longing to see her. Was
her hair done in white puffs over her
forehead? He loved to think of it so.
He lived in Norton, not many miles
from her own home, and he should
cone to see her often. He hoped
she would still be glad to "mother
him"and to admonish him if he needed
it,
Nita was frightened when she read
that letter She could not escape
meeting him, for he had her address,
What would he think of Iter) If she
could only run away and hidel And
yet, she did want to see him, She had
learned to like her soldier boy. She
had pictured bion in her mind, and she
wanted—oh, how much she wanted to
see him—if only she herself could be'
invisible, She almost wished now
that site had. trot played her foolish•
Joke...iie would despise her for her
deceit and think her very silly,
With a beating heart Nita watched

the returning regiment march through
the streets. Which one was her soldier
boy? He was with them, she knew.
They were so straight, with strong,
brave faces, and the happy 'light of
victory in their eyes. She was proud
of them all and cheered with the rest.
When the doorbell rang•Nita stepped
lightly to answer it, quite unsuspecting
She had not thought he would come to
see he so soon. There were others to
greet him—yet, there he ,stood. She
knew him at the first glance and want-
ed to hide: What Soule she gay? How
explain? She stared and said nothing.
He put out his hand With a boyish
smile and a twinkle in his eye. "Is this
Miss Spence?" he asked.
"1'm—l'm—Nita Spence—" carne the
timid answer. Perhaps he would think
the one who wrote the letters was her
aunt. If he would only go away.
• "My Maiden aunt, any mentor," he
laughed merrily, You looked just as
I imagined. you would,"
She gasped, "But—why—how could
you—" •
"Don't you suppose 1 saw through
your little game?" ills smile was bright
and assuming. Do you thing any maid-
en aunt could; write such letters as you
have been writing to me? i've had
your image before me all the time, and
I've learned to worship it. . 1 knew
your eyes were full of laughter, that
your' hair was soft and fluffy, that your
• lips smiled,with the. tiniest dimples, i
could just see, the mischief lurking in
,the corner of your .eye as you wrote
those letters. • Oh, how you've 'helped
to cheer those' long, • toilsome months.
• How the thought of :yon has" given' me
help.and courage, fort knew you were
, a brave girl, doing your part at home,"
They, were sitting very close to-
gethei in thr cosy sitting -room. Nita's
heart throbbed; 'and.,yet she tried to
draw her , heed away , from him.
"Oh,'" efte''falthre'd, "w,hat trust you
think of one?"
"1 think you are the dearest girl in
all the world," 'he told her, drawing
her hands from her burning face. "1
need smothering now, more than ever
before. I've come to ask you to take
the job for Life—will you do it?"
He was gazing at her with earnest
eyes, full of -love,
She looked at him, trembling, yet
With mischief in her eyes, as she an-
swered. "Yes, if you think you can
stand it maiden aunt's scolding." And
he was quite satisfied,

BRITISH ARMY HELPED
It is not a very useful occupation
to be engaged at this date in the dis-
cussion of "Who Won the War?"
but in view of the efforts which have
been made' 10 some quarters to dis-
credit Great Britain's share in the
greater enterprise, it Is interesting to
view the appended information which
was compiled by Mr. John Morgan,
of Garfield, Utah, and sent to the
Literary Digest, Summarizing the
totals of the captures of men and
guns by the allied armies on all fronts
between July 48, 1918, when the tide
of war began to rise finally against the
Germans, up to the armistice on Nov-
ember 10, Mr. Morgan gives the fol-
lowing figures.
ARMY CAPTURES
Prisoners Guns
French 175,000 240
British 350,000 4,000
American ,. 43,500 2,000
225,000 ef,000
Italian
Belgitin . , , t . , .... 14,500 474
The word "guns" refers only to
heavy and field guns. 1n addition
the British captured 4,500 trench
nmotars and 40,000 nmachine guns—
more than twice as many as any other
at'nmy. Of.couse the British did not
win the war alone, bot what would
have Jiappetsed had they kept out of

Strangest Sena Between Mon : and Women.
Tho best gift 0f the Holy Spirit Is
the love of Goll shed abroad in our
hearts. Not all nun tench,.. preach,
work miracles, spent: with tongues;
hut the gift of love Is within reach
of all. The "more excellent way" of
the last verse of chapter 12 is the way
of love, •Love is not a mere sentl-
ment or, emotion, but a mighty dy-
namic which transforms the life, ex-
pressing itself in practical .service to
linen,
I. The Pre-eminence' of Love (vv..
1-3).`
It transcends:
(1) .Speaking with tongues.. For
men to possess • the loftiest; eloquence,
to be able to speak in other languages,
and to be'lacking in love is to be as
sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal.
Pleasing and powerful speaking is de-
sirable, but to love is better. .
(2)• The gift of prophecy. To dis-
close the events of the future, to be
able to unfold altmysterlea—of nature
and providence—is good but to love
is better, -
(8)..Faltlh of the most vigorous kind.
Such as would remove mountains.
(4) , Philanthropy of the most gen-
erous sort, prompting one to surren-
der all earthly goods for the sake of
the poorS,
(5) Heroism which' leads even to
martyrdom without love is profitless.
I1.'The Attributes of Love (vv, 4-7).
1. It is long-suffering and kind, It
means not only to beer long but to be
kind all the while. Patience is a re-.
markable virtue. It Is much•easier to
bear long than to show the spirit of
kindness all the while,
2. It is free from envy. Those who
love are "free from that envy which is
engendered because of the good, or the
success of others. •
S. it is 'free from. empty boasting,
Love has as Its supreme aim the doing
of good to all and does not seek their
acliuiration and applause. ' •
4. it 1s 'well behaved. 'Love is po-
lite and mannerly. It knows how to
behave at ell times.
0. It is unselfish. Love seekti the
good of others and le forgetful of self,
fi. Does not glve way to passion.
It Is not quick tempered. ' It Is .not
easily aroused to resentment,.
