Comrades had seen him fall and had buried him that evening in the moonlight. His papers and valu- ubles had been sent to the widow with an official attestation of her husband's death.
Six years later Frau Schutz married a Berlin workman in a good position and her life with him was very happy.
A few days ago she was sum- moned to the workmen's insurance office and asked to look at an in- surance card which had been sent in and appeared to be that of Karl Schutz who had died on the battle- field in 1918.
She went to the address given on the card and found herself face to face with the husband for whom she had worn widow's weeds. His home was Bright and cheerful and at his side was another wife.
