A Belgian
War Romance
For Good Se rvice
!
By L O U IS E B C U M M IN G S
One quiet evening in the summer of
1913 a pair of young lovers stood on
a bridge tbat crossed the river Lyt, In
Belgium. They were there for a part
ing The young man was to leave for
the coast early the next morning and
thence for America. Nothing could be
more peaceful than the sieue about
them
A young moon stood in the
west. I f an occasional breeze stirred
the leaves on the trees they were stir
red lightly. As for sound, there was
only a slight gurgle beneath then as
the current passed the abutment o f the
bridge.
“ Mina,” said the young man. "cheer
up. It will not be long before In Amer
lea I shall have saved enough money
to send for you
That we may have
a definite time to be reunited I prom
Ise you that one year from today, if
not before, you shall receive the pas
sage mouey to bring yon tp me.”
“ And l, Hans, will work and save
so tbat if you do not succeed In gain
lng enough to send for me I may have
enough for the journey."
When the year had passed a great
change hud come over Belgium
The
Germans were pouring Into tbe coun
try from the east, the French from the
south. Wilhelmiua had received let
ters from her lover in New York that
money would be scut her for her pas
sage, but before It was dispatched the
war had stopped the mails.
On the anniversary 'of their parting,
at evening. Wilhelmlna went to tbe
bridge on which they bad stood a year
before. It was now a ruin, more than
half o f it having been destroyed Here
and there across the fields were flashes
followed by a distant roar o f guns
while searchlights sent their columns
o f light across the sky like tbe tails of
nearby comets.
What should she do? Her home had
been that day in the line of Are and
was a ruin. Before leaving it she had
snatched up her savings, and these she
had with her. Standing there in the
identical spot where she bad stood In
quiet with her lover, she resolved to
go to him i f possible
There was no way of announcing her
oomlng beforehand. She had neither
writing materials nor a way to send
a letter. Indeed, it was doubtful If
even she could break through the line
o f war to reach the coast
And if she
arrived at a port would she find a ves
sel? Nevertheless she turned her face
toward Holland and set off I d the d irk
ness.
H er adventures are a long story by
itself. Fortune favoring, she reached
Rotterdam In safety and there found
that she had the means to buy a steer
age ticket o d an outgoing steamer to
New York.
On tbe arrival o f the vessel the eml
grants were landed at Ellis Island, and
Wilhelmlna among others was brought
before the emigration commissioners
There she was asked how she would
be provided for In America, and when
she said that she had no money she
was told thut she would be sent hack
to Holland.
Her modesty, the consciousness that
she was coming to marry a man with
out a special bidding, bad caused her
to conceal what she expected.
Be
sides, suppose Hans had changed!
But the prospect o f being sent back

the little home 1u which she h ul been
born and always lived had been level
ed, overcame her reticence, and she
told a love story that no |>eu. however
Inspired, could put on paper
"Hans must be found!"
Such were the Instructions given to
a messenger, who departed on his er
rand.
There is a committee of Belgians In
New York whose purpose It Is to look
after their incoming fellow country
men The head o f the committee was
f-fonnd. and he in turn started n hunt
I for Hans
Ever since tbe war had broken out
Hans bad been anxious about bis Wll
helmtna. He bad not dared to send her
his savings for fear they would lie tost
j Indeed, one o f the troubles brought on
by the war was the inability to send
funds to Europe He had written her,
' but without expectation that she would
i receive his letters. As to receiving let
ters from her. he had no faith In that
either
Hans was at work one nfleinoou
when a fellow workman came to him
and told him that the boss v t-l-.ed to
■ see him in the oflbe
Hans laid down
his tools and reported ns d:r cted lie
found beside tbe boss a man who ask
ed him:
"A re you Hans Wtebtel ?"
"1 am."
"There is a girl on Ellis Island who
came over from Belgium. She says you
will marry her ”
••Mina?”
^
"She says her name is Wllhelmina ’
•‘Slacry her! O f «•ottrvo I will marr
her Where can I tlnd her?
Hans wished to co at mice to Ellis
Island, but suddenly remembering that
a man in overalls w as not In wedding
costume tidied himself up. then set oil
to Join his sweetheart
I f the authorities had any douln
about Wllhelmina's story it was dl*

lovers But Uncle Sam's emigrant off!

MOON SWEARS OFF
Until March 1, Mr. Moon-man
will be on the wagon, home every
night at his own fireside or where
ever it is he hangs out when he
isn’t full, and those gay old boys
down on the “ footsool” may go
home in the dark or semi-dark for
all the moon cares about it.
Merry old roysterer is the moon
getting full ever so often tor ages
— full twice last month, and now
Mrs. Calandar kicks up a row and
says, “ no more full moons for a
month.”
Same thing happened
in 1846—the moon didn’t get full
