CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR But today, the eleventh of November, 1918, driver* and conductor* chatted boisterously as if they were in no hurry at all, and passed cheery remark* to the eouple who ■at at the marble-topped table in the window aieove. They eould see the man waa a aoldier by hi* greatcoat, and it was a good day for saying cheery thing* to soldiers. "Wonder ’ow long it’ll taka to git the rest of you boy* ’ome, mate?" . .. "Maybe they*!! march ’em to Berlin now and shoot the old Kaiser." ... ■ "Seems quear to ’ave the war end up like this—right on the dot, as you might say.”... "Wouldn’t aurpr.s« me if it’s just a rumor, like them Russian* cornin’ through.”... "But it’s all tn the papers, see—it sex the German* ’ave signed a I what's-a-nam®— mean* peace, don’t it?” All thia and much else in snatches of new* and comment The proprietor always answered: “You’re right there, mister” — "That's just what I always said meself,” or, if th* remark had been especially emphatic: "You ’it the nail straight on the ’cad that time, mister.” Towards noon the fog grew very thick indeed and driver* reported crowds stall increasing at the busy centers; workpeople had been | sent home from oftees and factories, I as well a* children from all the schools. Then th* trams stopped running, impeded by fog and crowds equally, and as there were no more customers at th* Coronation Caffl the proprietor set to work behind his counter, polishing a large tea urn till it glowed ia the gloom like a copper sun. Presently he cam* over to the table. He was a little man, pal«-fae*d, bald, with watery eye* and a drooping mustache. "Wouldn't you two like a bit* o’ somethin'?" The girl looked to her companion, •aw him frame a word and then begin to struggle with it; she interzened quickly: "Sound* a good idea. ' What have you got?" "Egg*, that’s about all. ’Owd’yer like 'em—soft or ’ard?’ Again ehe looked aCTMe the table before answering. "Oh, middling’ll do." "That’s the ticket That’s ’ow I liter ’em massif. And two more coffees?” "Righto." "Keep yer warmed-up a day like this. War’s ever, they say, but anybody can die of pewmonla.” ' That’* a fact, so bring those eoffee* quick.” Ha west away chuckling: then the girl leaned screes the table and said: "Don’t look ao scared. He 1 won't bite.” "1 know. But I’m always like that with strangers—at first. And beside*—l don't think I've enough money.” "Well, who cares about that? I have.” “But—” "Now don’t start being the gentleman. You were telling me about yourself when that fellow cam* up. Go on with the story.” Be stared at her rather blankly till sb* added: "Unless you’d rather not Your mind's ow aemotking etoe, I ean see.” "I’d just noticed that sin outside.” He pointed through the window to a board overhanging th* pavement above th* caff doorway—the words “Good Pull-Up for Carmon" ware dimly reais bl i through th* fog. “Carmen - he mattarnd. "That give* aaa something — why, yes... MeXM." _ Oh - You •*«’ tbe opera r She began to laugh. "And MeHm gives me peaches.

laugh. . . . Now what waa it you were asking me before?" "Well, I was wondering why you had to be in a hospital at all, but now of cours* I understand.” “Yes—till I get thoroughly better. I daresay I will—eventually.” "And then your memory 11 come bftek?” "That's what they think." "But in the meantime what are you going to do?" "Just wait around till it happens, I suppose.” "Isn’t there some way of tracing any of your relatives and friends? Advertising for them, or *om«thing like that?” "They’ve tried. Some people did come to *e« me at the hospital one*, but—l wasn’t their eon." "I’ll bet they were disappointed. You’d make a nice son for somebody.” "Well, I was disappointed too. I’d like to have belonged to them—to have had a home somewhere." He then gave her some of the facts he bad written out for th* doctors—that he had been blown up by a shell during 1917, and that when he recovered consciousness he was in a German hoepital somowhere, unidentified and unidantiflabia. Later there had been an exchange of wounded and shellshoekad prisoner* through Switzerland. and by thia means th* problem had been passed on to th* English —but with no mor* success. He bad been a pretty bad case at first, with loss of speech and muscular coordination, but those things had gradually returned — perhaps the memory would follow iater. Altogether h* had *p«nt over a year in various hospitals, of which h* liked the on* at Mi<oury least of all. "Mind you,” h* added, seizing th* chance to say what b* thought of saying before, “I’m mil** better than some of the others. You'd think ao too if you saw them.” "And that’s why go* shouldn't see them at all. Doesn’t exactly help you, does it?" "No, but 1 suppos* all the hospitals ar* so crowded — there’s no chance to separate us properly." Th* proprietor, coming up with th* eoffee and eggs, saw them break o< their conversation suddenly. "Gettin’ a bit dark in ’er*—lll give yer a light,” he murmured, to satisfy a dawning curiosity. Standing on a bench h* pulled fce chain under a single incandescent burner tn the middle of th* ceiling; it sent a pale greenish glow over their face*. He >t*red at them both. "You don’t look ao chirpy, mite. Fedin’ bad?” "He’s jn*t tir*d, that’s elk” And then, to get th* fellow out: “Bring a packet of eigarettos, will you?” When he had gun* *h« Issued aeroes.
