This nearly breaks their hearts. Eventually Mary develops a cough. Her people come for her but she will not go home without Hugo. He sees that they are in a hopeless condition and persuades Mary to go on his pormise that he will follow her in a ey" few days. Then he sends her a note telling her there is nothing for him to do but go home and fight for his own people. Finally America enters the war. Mary, who has lost all track of Hugo, is filled with stories of German atrocities. She finally is persuaded that the marriage was a mistake and divorces Hugo. Jeff joins the army. Mary gets into canteen work and is sent to France. Jeff is billeted in the same town as Commander of Military Police. He and Mary are drawn together and plan to marry after the war. One day Mary sees Hugo come into the canteen dressed as a doughboy. Shortly afterwards Jeff enters with a squad of soldiers evidently searching for some one. Mary senses it is Hugo and attracts Jeff’s attention so that Hugo can escape. Jeff tells her he is hunting a spy who is reporting the movement of troops, causing surprise attacts and the slaying of many men. That night Hugo comes to Mary in her room. She finds she still loves him as much as ever. But as an American she can not let him continue to give out information. He remains with her that night and in the morning she asks him to drink a glass of wine, as a farewell. She puts poison in the wine and both drink. She holds Hugo’s head in her lap until he dies and then falls over besides him just as Jeff looks in the window where he has traced the spy.
