Walter Sheppard 15 has succeed-
ed in passing the physical examina-
tion for enlistment in the marine
corps although a few days ago he.
couldn't pass it.
After Walter had obtained the con
sent of his parents he still had a
hard fight ahead. He was several
pounds too light to t be admitted to
the marines.
"Bananas will increase your
weight" he was told and he went in
for bananas. '
The first day he ate two dozen the
next day a dozen and a half and the
next day one dozen. Four pounds
were gained. The patriotic grocer
from whom he bought the fruit be-
came interested and gave the boy
twice as many bananas as he gave
other customers for the same price.
Friends held banana parties for the
young patriot.

ercise that might reduce his weight.! rest of the buis?'

Mummer day after it solid wnek in ilie
otlice from eight in the morning to nine
or leu and someliuies even urn if eleven
o'clock at night.
So at two in the afternoon h little
party was formed in front of Mn'iisieur

the parly were Monsieur and Mudiinie.

lol. All the ladies) carried a hunch of
buis. And as we stinted out Madame
lUlphund said we would Itrsl K'-lo the
cemetery; where wV would visit the
plots aiid place a branch of the blessed
buis tin the graves of their relative.
It is the custom of my country Mon-
sieur told me. to lecoiale the graves
wilk buis every I'slui Sunday. !
All Graves Decorated.
As we passed ibrough the ancient
gate we entered a narrow aisle liucd
with tall pines whose hough inter-
locked over our beads. Half way the
aisle widened and in its center rose a
tail it one . crucifix mi tall the tlgure
of Christ was ftist among the green
branches There wa no grass except
that which lined the aisle beneath the
trees. The little plots Were covered
with tiny pebbles level and neatly
kept.
As we came to the grave of one
well-known of the party 11. was re-
membered and a little twig placed
upon it. We went from one plot to
another stopping only at. ttiose of the
immediate relatives or the party or
very close friends until we had made
the round of the cemetery.
From here we went to the Soldiers'
cemetery. Here we entered under an
arch bearing in big silvered letters
'Mort pour la Pa trie." 1 paused in
the gate to cast a glance over-the
Held. There were hundreds of French
grave marked by the French cocarde
three rings red white and blue in
a circle of about tdx. Inches.
Arabians Buried There.
At the right were several Arabian
graves facing to Mecca and in the far
left hand coi ner some ne er graves
whose markings V could not distin-
guish from the distance. We had not
gone in very far when -Mademoiselle;
Therese took a little branch of buis
and placed it upon a French grave. It
was that of a iirivrtte in the French
army who had been killed at ihe be-
ginning of the war.
"I knew him well before the war"
Maid Mile. Therese as he placed the
little holy leaf la the ground over the
body.
"What nre you going to do with the
1 aiked mademoi-
Irig there but on the crosses abovl
them there was the name and orga'nl.
;y.alion of cscli of them and that wan
''enough.
Somehow I seemed to have been ae
.'ujiaiuied wiili tliein for. a long tlmo
and I could almost picture' how they
I had looked "hen they landed ovei
! here. So I read the nauies of them
; iall and placed my little piece of hills
I -upon 1 1m; grave of one Arthur It. l'eter-
! turn of the Ambulance company.
I . Tribute to American.
! Mile Therese decorated each of the
i others in the sniue silent way that I
! bad-done. For a few monienls no una
- M'euieil to have anything to say and a
d'-cp silence prevailed until inadenioi-
si'lle hud decorated Ihe lasl saying as
.she did so
"l.es pniivres garcons ils soul veuus

the.v have come .so far to die).
".Mais ils nut. tinis de sotifl'rier seiix
la cost a. lenr pnuvres meres que je
pense. inoi" ' said .Mine. Ueveillon.
.(Their suffering-is over; it is of their
poor mothers that I am thinking).
When 1 jonld Irusl myself to speak
tried to smile my apprcciui ion of
their generosity and said:
'lint there are hundreds of your
Poilus here."
"Ah oui" said monsieur "but we
ire very foriunnle in ' having them
;here near us. while these pnrcurs back
in America have not had the oppor-
tunily to even hid them goodhy."
Their Morrow their respect and their
jsyinpiiiliy were profound and sincere.
It is beyond my capacity to describe It
further. Here were moiheis mourning
'the loss of oilier mothers whom they
had never seen did not know nor
mould they ever know. It was not so
much for the sons that lay buried
Then; hut those thai were left behind
to luourn. All these women had
iinouriK d the loss of some kin since
.V.H4 and their sympathy was genuine.
All Pause in Silence..
T.iorj were other persons in the
cemetery who had come to honor their
dead In the same way and as i looked
they all ' stooped " and read "A no
caniaindes' les America ins"- 'paused
mid in silence gaged at the crosses and
piissed oil. .-..
This was Palm Sunday but I had
forgotten. J hut aud I found myself be-
lieving If .Memorial day back home.
We left ' llijt- Held and continued on to
i he-garden on the outskirts' of the
town. Here some two hours later as
-we -sat In front of the maisonnette
at one end of the garden mademoiselle
tdruggliug through h sentence in Kng-
lisli Was suddenly inlerrnpted by a
volley of rifle fire. I
"Kcouiez !" (listen) she said. "Qu'est

"l.e clairon" said mademoiselle and
igaiu complete nilence. I
From far awav it came but In the!
i
intense silence it was easily disfin-
giiishable and when the last note had :
died away mademoiselle turned to ins
and said: "Qu'eNt que e'est V" I
Alter a second I found my voice aud
was just about to explain when
"Kcoutez I" i
Another volley followed by two
more. Again the clairon. And again
mademoiselle said : "(Ju'est que e'est V"
Final Sad Rites.
Well I knew what if was. and before
I could tell . her in my mind I could
plainly see the open grave exposing
for the moment its contents; the fir-
ing squad With rifles pointed over the
opening; the corporal giving the words j
of comuiHiid. The final note of "tups" J
added the last touch of (witness to the!
picture mid I told mademoiselle s
best I could the meaning of It all. She
has been working In a hospital since
the beginning of the war so she uu-der-dond
very readily.
Moiu-iciir was .at Ihe other end of
the garden and bad only stopped his
work just long enough to look up at
the firing and. not understanding
went back to his work. Mow he came
up declaring he was tired and did not
feel like doiug any more work Hint
afternoon. Mnie. Toiler Insisted we
visit her garden before we go home
so we put up the chairs and left.
