GEN: Need author of a short story

[Paula Zsiray <ZSIRAYP@mcadm.mchs.cache.k12.ut.us>]

I have a student looking for the author of the short story "The
Soldier".

This is the story where a  young man corresponds with someone who's
name he found in the front of a library book.  He is sent off to war,
but arranges to meet her at a train station.  She should be
holding/wearing a red rose.  When he gets to the station there is a
young beautiful woman, without a rose, but behind her is an over 40
lady with a rose.  When he introduces himself, she tells him she is
just holding the rose for another and he should go to the cafe across
the street to meet her. It turns out to be the young woman.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
