shell had exploded close to him, and
then it was back to the hospital once
more.
And now he was asleep In his bed,
but the surgeon came, and, a« if he
had Just been waiting for him, Hu
bert woke up, feeling strong and in
the best of spirits.
"You were asleep?” the r surgeon
asked.
"Yes, major. Fine place for a sleep
here.”
"Better than down there, eh?"
"Bah! I* is all right down there,
too. I rather enjoyed it at times,
major.”
"Nasty complication of wounds,”
said the surgeon to the nur?»e i‘The
poor fellow must be suffering dread
fully, and I shall have to hurt him
even more to-day.”
Hubert was still smiling.
“Does it hurt much, my boy?”
"Nothing worth talking about. It
tickles a little, I should aay.”
“We<4 you are a brave fellow*.
will be a success—a great success! I
congratulate you.”
As the young musician was on th«
point of leaving, Madame Strauss en
tered, and her husband at once began an
enthusiastic explanation.
“This young gentleman,” he cried,
"has Just composed a parody on
'Salome'—a truly remarkable piece of
work!"
Madame Strauss raised her eyebrowa.
"What terms have you made?” she
asked In a low voice.
“Why, no terms.”
“That is no way to do; demand 25 per
cent royalties.”
And. turning to the writer of the
parody, Madame Strauss advised him,
with seemingly maternal solicitude, to
accept the ad\antageous offer that the
master was willing io make him. Thus
it came about that the parody on “Sa
lome,” which, as Mr. Strauss prophesied,
was very successful, is to-day a source
of a considerable income for the
Strausses.
bert disdainfully.
The operation was long and painful
and the wound was scraped clean to
the bone.
“Poor fellow*,” murmured the sur
geon.
But Hubert lay motionless and
smiling.
“All you have to do,” he said, “is to
believe that it does not hurt. Then it
Just* tickles."
The operation was over and the
bandage put on. Hubert w*a» calm
and there was a healthy color in his
cheeks. The only sign of the pain he
had suffered was a few* beads of per
spiration on his forehead.
"Sparistl,” the surgeon exclaims,
“you have no more respect for pair,
than you have for death. I know I
have hurt you dreadfully, but I could
not help it. It had to be done. I
never had a patient like you.”
"You never feel pain when you
don’t w*ant to feel pain,” said Hubert
smiling.
The surgeon and nurses looked
w’ith something akin to veneration at
this boyish hero w*Jth a will of steel.
"There may be a letter from my
mother.”
His eyes beamed and his whole face
was radiant with Joyous expectations.
He looked long at the envelope before
he opened the dear letter as if to
prolong his enjoyment. Then he
*w-allowed the writing with his eyes.
Suddenly he turned pale. His eyes
grew dim and his smile vanished.
Then tears came into his eyes, big,
childlike tears that rolled down his
cheeks.
Is it really possible? Hubert is
crying. What can have happened?
One of the nurses asked him gent
ly:
“What 1* it, my dear boy? Bad
new*?”
Hubert is now crying like a child.
"It is Flic, mad a me," he sobs.
“Flic?”
“Ye*, my own little fox terrier. The
smartest and most faithful that ever
lived. It was run dow*n by a motor
car last Sunday ”
And Hubert was deathly pale now.
A Little Tale With a
Touch of Imagination
The Story of Hubert
UBERT was in the hospital the
time. The first time
mans had made into a miniature fort.
He had taken It without knowing It.
so to speak. His lieutenant had tried
to take it with four volunteers, but did
not come back.
Hubert had waited for a while, but
then he said:
“Somebody has got to go and find
the lieutenant, n'est ce pas.’’
And with his friend, Pigonneau, he
had rushed toward the house. He had
fought and he had shot. He had felt
something drop. Bah! It was noth
ing but his ear that had been out off—
the left one.
Pigonneau had fallen on the stairs,
his chest pierced with bullets, but Hu
bert had kept it up and he had done
splendidly, for he had found his lieu
tenant and the four men. all wounded
but alive, and he had captured the
house. He really did not know how,
but twenty Germans lay dead or
wounded on the ground.

Then hospital and recovery, and

there were about 30 of them—and

All Hubert had to do was to shout
for his comrades.

was because of half a dozen
bullets, a few sword cuts and a lost
ear. This time it was a shell and a
fractured shoulder. He had been hit
by shrapnel in several places, but he
had also got the military medal. Just
now he was smiling In his sleep as
he was lying in his white bed swathed
in bandages like a mummy.

"I really am deaf,” he said to the

“Prove it,” said the clerk.
The man hesitated, then hi* face

"Can you hear that organ?" he said.
“Yes.’ replied the clerk.
“Well, I can’t.” replied the man, trl«
