Marcel Gets His
Barn Mended
Red Cross Helps This 15 Year
Old French Boy—and His
Family.
Marcel Is a man. He Is just fifteen
years old, but yet he is a man. 1 say
; he is a man because in the last four
I years’ time has burned into his child
heart marks that should wait forstem
er maturity." He is a man because lie
lias the responsibility of a woman. He
has no father. The Germans saw to
that. Marcel has had to stand by and
see his small brothers and baby sister
ask in vain for food while he fought
off the pressing call from his growing
boy’s stomach. He lias had to see
tears from his mother’s eyes drop on
the plowed ground as she worked the
soil his father would have tilled had
he not gone away out of the peaceful
ness of the Marne valley into the Iron
; hail of the Aisne and on into the here
j after.
The boy, who was now a man. work
' ed hard, yes. too hard. With his hair
less hands and his boy’s strength he
fought almost alone the unequal fight
against want with what little help hla
frail mother could give.
Mother Can Keep Children.
One of the TO or 80 local Societies
In France, handicapped by \ack ol
1 fundsJ.ecause deluged by oils for
to releive the family Vy tal£
children. But to tie tor
brain of the womln thil
seemed like losing all she had.
And then when everything seemed
lost and despair came they heard the
news: “No, it could not be true.
They would help them with food and
clothing? They would till the soil?
Mend the barns and stay near by to
see that things went well?” Yes, and
| the children could stay, said the Red
i Cross, as they had said to hundreds
of others.
That was two years ago. Today this
family is self supporting and has some
! to spare for the more needy ones, who
1 still are being helped. Little Jean is
taller. He looks well fed—and he is
i well fed. The baby is so roily poly
j that the dimples have come again.
; They are in good spirits—on their feet
1 once more.
And Marcel. He has finished the
course that the Red Cross gave him
In an agricultural school. It is he who
has been running the farm so well. He
did It all. At least they let him think
so, for heaven knows he has seen the
i bottom of the bitter cup. And I know
i that the Red Cross will want me to
| say he did It, for that is the way tney
i work—quietly, earnestly, efficiently,
j without stint, without waste, without
! boast.
