SAYED BY CHARM How the life of George B. Norton of Nappanee was saved by Elsie Janis “over there” was related by Mr. Norton recently. Norton, who. was with the' second division, said that on the voyage to France he met a prea-; cher, who told the boys their fortunes. He told Norton's also, I in a private hearing, and during which he said that Norton would not live to come back, but would be killed on his birthday, which he fixed at near the middle of September. It was September 22, and this prophecy Norton kept in mind. After serving at Chateau Thierry, Soissons, St. Mihiel, he was on September 15 sent back for a rest and felt that the prophecy as to his death was certaiply wrong. However, oh September 21 he was again ordered to the front, this time into the great Argonne. The French woman where he was rooming met him as he came down the stairs to leave for the front. She was crying, and on being asked why, she said that she knew Norton was going to be killed. She always knew, she said, when the boys were going to be killed. This experience further added color to the fortune telling of the preacher. On the way to the front, however, the division stopped at a town where Elsie Janis was giving out food and comfort to the soldiers. Norton told her of the prophecy, whereupon she told

him that it was a mistake; that she had a sure proof against death. She then gave him two little French dolls tied together, which were believed by the French to protect them from death from any aerial bomb. These he took and wore as he went on to the front. The night of September 21 he approached the front with two or three others. The road was being shelled by the enemy, horses and mules were screaming their death cries, as the shells fell among them on the thickly crowded road. Norton and a young man with him were making their way to a shell bole which would offer protection, when a big shell came screaming' over their way. They flopped on l the ground to avoid it, and it burst at their left. A piece of. the shell hit the lad beside Norton, tearing away his abdomen. Norton dragged him into the shell hole and went for a doctor. When they returned the boy was dead. So close did the prophecy of the preacher and French woman , come to being fulfilled.—-“( Warsaw Union. _ o GRAVE LUTHERAN CHURCH Rev.
