One Woman s Victory

By Kitty Parsons

"If you love ir.o y,-i wo'jMn't vrar.i to pro to wir! I tion't fo" it at all. Tou'ro married, and rvn If I'm r.ot 'pendant cn you, I don't want you to go you'll bo draft ! if they r.'M yd badly enough. I o.m't understand thf way you forl at all yu Just can't raro aLout rn that's all:" The words camo in a rush and th1 rlrl who had pokf-n was trembling with excitement and on the verpo fit tears. "You're riht, dar, you don't unl"r5tand," hkt d )r r husband. "You know perfectly veil that I do car? about you, but there's a KperJal call for men in ray line of work Just now, ar.l I feel more like a slacker every day I .stay away. The wholo thlns'M Kot into my blood, too. and I'm no lonper content to I t the other fellows do all th" flhtln I war.t to iret a crack at thos darned Germans my?elf. Can't you tec

how I fee, Dorothy? Its ornethins; you can't explain, hut you can't fft away from it!" "So, I c m't just see it. bu if you want to po you needn't May on my account. I thought a mnn's wife upv.ally cam': first, but I gues-s I'm wror.tr. I'y all means, po, if you want to leave m!" "You're talkir.tr r,nnnr.r'1 Dorothy! And of course you know if you put up that sort of an argument. I won't ko at least, not until I'm needed more than I am now. I wish you did not feel as you do." he wnt on. with an attempt at f hf erf ulne?, "but it can't be helped. I hupposo. I'm o: for town now it's late. too. Good-bye." Dorothy caupht her breath in a rob as sh watched him disappear down the path. It was the first timo in t vo years that they had been married that Tom had one off

without k:-.intr hr pond-bye. Dorothy was not really self.sh or fn tln. but Toin and sh had bon so happy together co wonderfully happy that she coub'. not bnr the thoukrh of l.i- coin.? away. She had

! r.-ver had to trive up very much in

her life, and hf could not now understand th necessity of it. She was not unpatriotic, but she did not see why her husband should have to po to war. Like many another person, s.he wa3 blind rather than selfish: It was with a sense of defeat rathfr than victory that Dorothy went about her household duties that mornintr. Just as she was slartinr for the bridre club that afternoon, the door bell ranp and Polly Anderson breezed in. Tolly was the newest bride in their set. Her cheeks were red with haste and the wind and sh" was fairly bursting with excitement. "Oh, Dot," she cried. "I'm so thrilled I can hardly speak! IlobV pot a commission as first lieutenant and I'm so proud of him I don't know what to do! Isn't it wonderful?" Dorothy ,orpot all about the

briipe club and sat t'nvr.. "P.r, h'U !. s-r.t away, won't h" ?" ; on ri'd v it:':r 'y.

"Well, you needn't be! I'm so full of pride over Dob and love for my country thrown in. that there simply isn't room for any other feeiintr. Don't waste any sympathy on mo!" "Dut, Polly, you don't want him to tro you sound as if von really did." Polly held her proud little head higher than ever and winked back a tear. "If a woman really loves her husband," she besran steadily, "she rioe not actually want to tret rid of him. Put when his country calls and he hears the call himself, she knows he must po. If he were deaf to that call and she is a true American woman, sh could never feel really proud of him apain. You understand how it is. Dorothy you must

- If at all sooner or later they all f' el It, if they are the ruht kind of nun, and they simply have to po. And we have to stay home and smile and be brave and help them all we can. It's not easy, I know, but I'm proud to have such a husband to send, and with all the pain of it, I'm plad to be alive today, too!" Dorothy sat very still, but when Polly rose to po. she kled her with a new respect in her manner. She had quite forpotten the bridpe club. When Tom cam home a trifle earlier than usual, he found his wife seated before a f.re in the living room, busily winding yarn. "Why, Dot. what are you doinp?" "Starting a sweater for you to take with you." she returned I romptly. Then, at his look of amazement, sho ran to him, and seizing the lapels of his coat, almost fiercely, looked up Into his face appealinply. "I've been all wrong, Tom," she

Tom stared at her for a momentThen he caucht hr in his arms and held her so close that she could scarce y breathe. "I can't leave you, darling I simply can't'" he whispered, and waited for th expected acquiesc- nee. Put Dorothy pushed him away and looked straight into his eyes again. "Yes, yoi can. dear," she said with ,i new firmness. 'I wouldn't have you stay for anything in the world now, and I never loved ou half so much as I do at this minute. It's th only thing to do and if other women can pive their men up, I puess I can, too. I'm proud that you want to po it would break my heart to have you feel a slacker, now that I understand. I was on myself this morning. but'I'm notnny more." After a few minutes' intermission she added: "Aren't women queer?" 'No, they're wonderful." he re-
