PARIS. July 20. This Is a little story
of Prance. I suppose it is no more
nor less tha storv of a hundred thou
sand homes. Grief and sorrow and
death are the common denominators of
war and tbe mother I am going to tell
you about probably has suffered no
more than the other million mothers
and wives scattered over 'this cruelly
tried country.
Last September on my way to Italy I
stopped off at Clermont-Ferrand after a
dreadful 15-hour trip from Paris with
nothing to eat the entire time, no
sleep and an apartment crowded with
refugees.
At Clermont I bad no better luck. 1
tried the 10 hotels tba town a really
good-slxed one, capital of tbe Puy-le-Dome
department afforded, and they
were all crowded, not a room to be had.
Then I began a house-to-house
search, but each family harbored refu
geea from the north, from Belgium or
from the east. Nancy. Lunevllle and
those towns.
Everyone bad come to this safe.
high, pleasant spot to be out of harm's
way. Quite ready, to sit down on the
curbstone and weep from fatigue and
work. I Inquired again Just as I was
boarding a tram to go to tba other end
of the town In my quest.

edge of the love of the French for
their allies across tbe channel (at that
moment, anyway) and my desire
have a room for the night made me say
yes at once.
"The poor little oner said the woman
comfortingly. "So far away, and will
she come home with me? I have a house
so big. and no one to fill It. All of mine
are at the war.
She led me home to a large, airy villa
half way up the side of one of th
mountains near Royat. Two daughters
came running at the sound of my
voice, large, handsome girls of II and
who spoke English as you and
apeak It, thanks to an American gov

comfortable, all sorts of wonderful
foods to make me forget the hardships
of that terrible trip and three women
who hung on every word I had to aay.

said to her youngest daughter, and 81

or so of the Deranger freres In her
and all seven of tnera ' in martial

Tbe next day I heard their seversl
and Indiidual histories. I learned that
their mother on the first moment of
war had turned over to the government
a factory for the manufacture of cloth

"I am willing to give everything to

wide gesture or .largesse. My seven
sons and often I have wished that my
three girls were boys, that I might
give tbem. too.
I was silent before a spirit so Imper

fanaticism.
She showed me In a corner a little
suitcase all packed, ready for the Jour
ney which might come at any moment
with a telegram from some baae hoe

be useful waa there, not only for. her
self, but for the boy she daily expected
to be called to aee and for other boys
she might nnd with him chocolate, cig
arettes, books, pussies.

haven't done your duty aa you should;
I shouldn't be surprised if you lost a
leg or an arm.' "
This Indomitable . souled woman
laughed softly at the reminiscence, se
cure In her faith.
Poor, dear Mme. Deranger! I remem
ber now her pale face when a tele
gram came for me from a hotel In Mar
seilles, but waa addressed In her name.
She thought, "Thla Is the first!" But I
was not there when tha first news
came. She pressed me to etay with
them all Summer In that high, cool
spot, but I left, and after an exchange
of two notea I heard of her no more.
At New Year's I sent her a little note
and got no reply. But yesterday, as I
went by a hospital on tha Rue de

out or the door, and X looked twice be

LITHIA
Springs Water
One or two bottles will help
you, but it is the cumulative
effect of drinking it regularly
six or eight glasses a day for
five or six weeks that produces
'best results. '
One. of the most eminent physicians
in the country, the late HUNTER
McGUIRE,M.D.,LL.D.,of Richmond,
Va., Ex-President American Medi
cal Association said of Buffalo
Lithia Water: "I know from con
stant use of it personally and in prac
tice that the results obtained from
its use are far beyond those which
would be warranted by the analysis
given. I am of the opinion that it
either contains some wonderful
remedial agent as yet undiscovered
by medical science or its elements
are to delicately combined in
Nature's laboratory that they defy
the utmost skill of the chemist to
solve the secret of their power."
