uniform of those nmbulnnce drivers who
are dolnff such magnificent work In France.
And when tho Frenchman raw him he
stared as If he had seen a ghost. "Shndes
of Elizabeth!" cried the American, "I
thought yon were killed that night nt
Tho Frenchman still stared, astounded.
"But you m'slour?" he gasped, "when the
ambulance was struck, were you not blown
to pieces?"
"?o. Indeed; I wag knocked senseless
for a bit. that was all, and got off with n
few scratches," said tho American Bmlllng,
"but I understood that you had been shot
out Into the road and blown to atoms?"
"I was certainly shot out Into the road."
said tho Frenchman solemnly, "and blown
up In many places where It Is not con
venient to bo blown up. Dut le bon Dleu
permitted me to recover nmi
now he Is permitting me to meet my kind
rescuer face to face once more."
So the young American and the French
man walked off arm In arm. And the kings
and queens of England slept on peacefully
within their marblo graves, wrlle once
again tho old Abbey wns wrapped In silence.

It struck; mo that at last had the East

' In.oaa paw sat a line of Americans from
Jwrvard, Chicago and New York, who had
aHsted with the Canadians at the out-
fcroak of war and who had all been
wounded. Above them towered a white

and queens of England slumbered peace-
