He had unbuttoned bis jacket, and was pressing his hand over the front of his chest, where the wound was. He breathed hard, and the blo@ poured from the wound, and also from his mouth, every breath he took. His face was as whife as death. and his eyes looked so big and bright as he turned and stared at me; I sha! never forget it. H: was a fine young fellow, not more thar tive and twenty. I went down on my knees beside him, and my breast {elt as full as though my heart would burst. He had a real English face, and did not look like an enemy.
