She was everything in the world

as a kind, strong creature of prose.
Incapable of being prince to her

were what Roger meant to her; and
she had always had all and more
than she wanted of these; she did
not know that they were rare or
valuable. #

‘Til dacida batwaan you than/*
ha spoke quietly, not yet acknowl
edging it.
“Had you ever thought, dear, that
your mother might be wrong not
entirely, but in part? If you were
blind and dazed like that with love,
might not you And. when th# spell
lifted, that you’d cared for the w rong
man?"
She cried out ardently, “No. no!
That kind of love could only be for
the right man. You don’t know what
loving might be, Roger!"
He put his hands on her shoul
ders, moving her to face him between
the fairy tale ropes of hair. His
words fell with slow, hard insistence.
“Marry me or not. Emilia, but do it
knowing that I love you like that.
I’m not the kind that loves many
people. The way things have been
with us, it’s in me too deep to
change I’m only twenty-four. Most
people would say I might care for
somebody else. But I won’t.”
She knew that, usual enough as
his words were. In his case they
might well be true. Steadfast in
everything, he could be steadfast in
this. Before’ she could speak again
he cried out, "Emilia, is there some
one else?”
She faltered. “Not that I have
promised to marry. No one I am sure
of." \
"Someone who h4ji asked—-you—
tonight." He remembered now, the
change in her, the excitement, the
tension. He came closer, stood over
her.
"I promised someone I would an
swer him in six months. When the
War is over—"
“Some stranger?" he said Jealously.
"Emilia, my little Emilia, promise
me that, then, too. Whoever it is—
I won’t ask. I don’t want to know—
give me that much because I’ve al
ways loved you. Take six months to
decide between us. Or wait until we
are back—”
She could not keep her great secret
from him any longer. Roger. Roger,
dear. I’m going too. I’ve been taking
all the tests and everything. I’ve lied
about my age—l can’t bear being
parted from you and Robin. I can’t
bear not doing my part, helping
France to free the world. I’m going
over as an entertainer.”
As ha looked at her, beautiful,
childish, excited, he saw that France
was her sweetheart now, before any
human man. He knew little more
than she about the actuality- of what
war was; but a little more he did
know, and he cried out at the idea
of her going.
"Emilia, you don’t know what
you’re doing!'Go into all those hor
rors. you. only eighteen, sheltered
all your life? You that we’ve guarded
and watched over— that have al
waya’bcen a princess;. ,?V *.
“I'm very strong. And 111 be with
American men. You know I’ve never
been ill in my life—l'm pioneer stock,
as much as you. I’m stronger and
steadier than Robin. I couldn’t stay
on this side—not with Robin over
there.”
He knew her. He knew that noth
ing he or hfer father or even Robin
could do would stop her. flhe stood
there against the glittering back
ground of night sky and water,

to a human girl. “Roger,’l’m going.
But I promise you. as I promised—
the other. In six months I’ll be older
and wiser and better. And I'll know.
I’ll decide between you then."

There was pleading, there was ex
citement, insistence; but in th» end
they let Emilia go.
■ “I haven’t the right to keep you
from the service of my country," her
father said finally, facing her, pallid
and erect and fine-drawn. Ila said
it as he had said it to Robin; as
every Valaty had said It to a Child
going to fight for the country. They
were, it would seem to us now, In
credibly simple and iiatriotic. This
was your country; it needed you, you
fought for it. you died for It, as you
would for your mother. They felt It
and believed it. John Vulaty saw his
children go with the same one ideaed
simplicity, the same unquestioning
knowledge that it was all they could
do, which the ancestors he took so
much too much pride In, would
have shown. g
Emilia was, after all, going gayly.
Youth in those days still wanted to
be free. There was shelter and pro
tection for youth to escape from,
then. A wall of gentle, older wisdom
that you pushed against impatiently,
even while still accepting it for wis
dom.
“With my shield or on It," she
said to her father, gently flippant In
speech, intense in feeling, as one was
then. He was of a generation which
was not even light of tongue. Ha
used, without consciousness of its
triteness, the old phrase his children
knew, and laughed at while thay
were secretly thrilled by it: “Remem
ber, my daring. All our men hava
been brave and all our women pure. -
It went over her head rather. One
took bravery and purity for granted,
naturally. She kissed him as she
stood at the door in her new uni
form; laughing a little so she would
not have to cry. "Father, darling! If
you only had a helmet and a spear,
nobody could tell you from any of
the knights that ever lived!”
“I hope not.” he said simply, from
out of his intensities and passionate
loves and limitations. Her last mem
ory was not of Robin, laughing with
her bravely, not of Roger, nearly
crushing her hands as he Said hia
honorably mute farewell, not of
Dick, with his gay reminder under
breath that in six months site was
to keep a promise to him; It was of
her father’s thin, handsome, quixotic
face, flaming with love of her and
pride in her and willingness to make
this, his dearest sacrifice, for the
things he believed In. 0
