An Episode of the European
War.
J$y MARTHA V. MONROE.
A young man In kbakl uniform step
ped toward a cab standing by tlie curb
In Oxford circus. Loudon, uud whs
met at tbe cab door by a tall, athletic
looking man in a cutaway coat and
silk bat. The gentleman looked about
him for another vehicle, but. not see
ing any, said to the young soldier:
"Perhaps If we happen to be going
the same way we can both use the
cab."
"I'm going to Westminster abbey."
"And I go to Downing street. That
will be very little out of the way if at
all. Get in."
The youngster entered the cab. fol
lowed by tbe other, who lirst gave
■ome directions that the soldier did
not bear.
"Are you a reiident of LondonV" ask
ed the young man by way of opening
conrersatlon.
"1 am."
"I'm a stranger. I'm from Canada.
I came over with the troops that land
ed the other day. I've got leave for
tbe day to go sightseeing. I shall take
U the abbey first"
"You'll And It very interesting."
"By the bye. you. being a Londoner. .
c«n perhaps tell me how to get to this !
place." And he handed the gentleman j
sitting beside him a paper 011 which i
was written tbe name or a suburban
town.
"To go there you take tbe I'addlng
ton station. Tell the driver. He'll
know."
"I caa't go today, 1 have so much to
•ee. When I go back to Montreal-if i
I Uve through the war—everybody will !
ask me. 'Have you seen this and have
you seen that In London?* and 1 don't j
want to say 1 haven't. So 1 told the |
young fady who lives at that address
she must come to camp to see me in- :
stead of my taking up the time granted
me for leaves to go out of town on a
railway."'
"Which mean® that you are engaged I
to ber?"
was brought up lb Canada. Her fa- |
ther came to Englaud a year ago. J
When the war broke out and you t'el- j
lows over hero called on us Canadians I
to help you out 1 thought it would be '
a good opportunity to come over and j
see her. So 1 enlisted."
The gentleman cast a side glance at j
hi* companion, but said notliiug.
"Do you think it will be much of a j
fight?" asked the youngster.
"A very big fight."
"Weil, I don't mlml seeiug some serv- j
Ice I dare say it will be a valuable |
axperlence. Of course I don't waut to I
get killed. Gladys—1 mean Miss Ark- |
right; she's my fiancee, you know—she i
float like the idea"—
"Arkrlgbt?" Interrupted the gentle
man—"Samuel Arkright's daughter?" !
MTes. Do you know bim?"
"Quite well."
"My name is Glover—James Glover
of'the —th Canadian foot. I suppose
you have met my fiancee?"
"Oh. yes, I know Gladys Ark right"
"Nice girl, isn't she?" looking up
wistfully for the stranger's approval
of the girl he loved.
"Gladys is a lovely girl."
By this time the cab bad stopped
tfid the gentleman got out.
"To the abbey." he said to the cab
man, handing him the fare, then to
the Canadian: "Much obliged for ac
commodating me. When you see
Gladys give her my love."
"Who shall f say?"
But before the other could reply be j
was buttonholed by a man. and as he
entered the building for which he was
headed half a dozen others surrounded [
him.
Private James Glover visited -West
minster abbey, the Tower of Ix>ndon
and various other sights. Wherever he [
waj recognised as a Canadian soldier
he met with kindly greetings. Every
Inquiry he made was responded to with
ilacrlty. and an old gentleman of sev
enty volunteered to take him to see
MTerai curiosities of which he had not
beard. When he returned to camp he
was Informed that his regiment would
be moved tht nsit day to a channel
port to be carried to France. Fie had
barely time to write a brief goodby to
bis sweetheart before he turned in for
the night and was up before1 the sun !
the next morning. •. .
Young Glover found the tenches in- !
deed an experience. Having come
from a cold climate, he -stood winter ]
weather fairly well. His introduction
to natural war was like that of most
5ther men who for the first time listen
Mi to the din of battle. He was bad
ly scared. But they were'making vet
erans rapidly in those days, anil the
Canadian soon got that control of
lilmself which marks the difference be
tween a raw recruit and a veteran,
rben. too. when In the thick of it he \
lost consciousness of everything but
what he and bis comrades were do
ing. When he shot at the enemy he
«hot as he would at a flock of birds. |
not because he had any animosity to- 1
ward them, but because of the excite
ment he was under.
One day after a long cannonading on
the part of the aiHes the order was
Slven to charge the trenches. Glover n
was back of a line ef bayoneta moving
»t double quick |<aee across » field
vheu suddenly he wns turued com
pletely round, then fell In a heap. The
Germans' tire was so murderous that
Ills comrades, reaching a depression In
Ihc earth, dropped while myriads of
till sorts of missiles passed over them.
Then re-enforcements came, passed on
and were driven back to the allies'
trenches, leaving their dead and
wounded behind them. "
That niutit Clover lay on the battle- |
field. Now and again the glare «f '
searchlights fell on objects about him,
givlug a ghastly hue to everything and
intensifying that on the faces of his
dead and wounded companions. To
ward morning there was a lull in the
firing of cannon, and after daylight
another dash was made from the al
lies' lines, and the ground captured was
held long enough to remove some of
the wouuded. But (!lover was not
among the number.
During the day many things were
running through his brain, among
others bis words to the gentleman who
had ridden with liiin In the cab from
Oxford circus to Downing street. Tly?
wounded man remembered the flip
pant way in which he had spoken of
war ami the experience It would give
him. Ex|x'rlenco! Call It rather a
taste of inferuo.
During the day the field on which
Clover wns lying was fought over,
being hist and retaken by each side
half a dozen times. On one of these
advances by the Kngllsh he was car
ried back to their trenches and lu due
time sent to Kngland with a load of
wounded comrades. Arriving in I/)n
don lie was placed in a hospital, where
his lite hung in tile balance for awhfle;
then lie began slowly to mend.
One of the strangest features of war
is that one who has experienced its
sutl'criir.'s and its terrors when out of
it has an mioou'pieiable desire to gel
hack to it .-main. Though Clover was
as coniforiidilc as a wounded man
could be ui;\«li\ though lie received fre
quent visits from bis sweetheart, he
was constantly making inquiries of
the -air'-'cous as 10 bow soon he would !
lie able lo return to the front.
One morning lie was told that dur- |
ing the da.\ ihe hospital would be lion- t
ured by a visit from a member of the
cabin, i Thinking it about time he
tidied himself up. lie asked bis nurse
foi :• belli in whi< li to wash Ids hands 1
and fa.e. and when the barber came 1
tn iii;'l;e lii> daily round Clover re- i
reived ilie Hist shave since he was i
WOlilldi-.l 1
At in'lw'k in the afternoon there
was a -lit anion.; the attendants. the
(1 hi ..f tlii- ward iu which Glover was
lyiiu' was thrown open, and si tall uian
with it blink mustache atteuded b.v a
number of uliieers and citizens eutered.
Advaii'in-r I-1 the nearest cot, he spoke
:t few words to the Invalid, then went
diiwn thi' aisle between the'betls, ad
dressing a word here anda word there,
till he reached Clover. The Canadian
looked at hint, feeling sure that be
had seen liitn before. Then it flashed
upon ban that he wits the man who
hail ridden with liitu in a cab when
lu- was seeing the sights of London.
IIy this time Glover bad learned the
difference between a private and an
ntlicer and the difference between a
subaltern and it general. While the
stranger was advancing lie had asked
who he was and was told that he was
Lord Kitchener, secretary for war and
Acknowledged 'o be the greatest living
urgatiizer of an tinny, tilover. remem
bering how lie had talked familiarly
with one so far above bitn in rank,
would have pulled the covers up over
his face to avoid recognition, but be
realized that this would not be allow

the mighty task before him when rid
ing in the cab iu (Hover's company to
recognize him on meeting him again
Glover was more thankful than if he
Itail missed an exploding shell.
Not long after this tilover was in
formed that he was to be discharged
from the service on aciouut of disabil
ity. lie was as much disgruntled as
his tianccc was pleased As soon as
lie was well enough he was removed
to her home, where lie received her
ronstaul attention, lie had spoken to

but she could not identify the person

barrassed at having conversed famil
iarly with the secretary for war that

As soon as Glover was as well as he
would ever be—he'd lost an arm—a
wedding day was tixed for his and
Gladys' marriage. Une day when the
pair were shopping together in London

words, the secretary for war. lie stop

thitt he was sorry he had not the time
to attend her wedding.
Glover looked the other way, but
Gladys insisted on introducing him to
tier friend. This time the secretary
looked at Glover with a more fixed at
tention and remembered him.
"1 think, he remarked, "that I have
seen you before. Did we not some
months ago ride in the same cab?"
"We did. and since then 1 have had
sufficient experience iu war to last me

"So I observe." remarked the secre

. INSURANCE liO.
Denver, Coio., April 27—The only

she did not know an insurance po
licy when she saw it eight years
igo, just starting her climb as a
clerk in the state insurance comis
sioner's office.
"My experience was limited to a |
short business course in Utah, after
which I go* married and started t'
raise babies," she said. "Later, I
necessity compelled nie to go to
nork, and I just went at it, and I
'ere i am."

millions of dollars. Mrs. Rolpli is
he type of woman described
iny. Her age—well never mind I
ler age. She's young. She isn't a ]

er she could deliver a speech, and
:ertain that she couldn't carry a
yrecinct by regular political me
.hods. But she can superintend the I
nsurance department of Colorado |
itate.
Her duties are enorn.Mssly *i
'ponsible. she passes on the as-1
lets of every insurance company do- [
ng business in Colorado and these |
issets are in every imaginable form
>f i roperty. She's witty, too, with all I
his responsibility, and when an in- ]
mrance ccmpany recently reported i

gested they sell it, "for brewery
tock may not be worth much in a |
ery few years."
Mrs. Rolph was appointed coin-1
