Yet there we were—Eood friends almost from the first handshake. He said to me a word I shall never forget—have carried with me ever since. He saw we were making awful kes, that our army had no ex- perience of the ghastly reality of modern warfare; he saw everybody was inclined to lose thelr heads, but he saw the good in us, all the same, and he said to me: ““There is gold in this country.

We sit dumbly and let the ugly stories roll over our heads. It is our pride, foolish perhaps, but it has never been thought proper for us to rise up and defend ourselves. An American woman to whom I had once been kind and hospitable took up her pen, refuting the slander of the man who for some dark reason of his own wanted to blacken one who had never done him harm. That woman stood bravely up and would not allow unfair things to be said of a woman she had learned to love. whom she had seen at work, doing her duty bravely through many diffi- culties and in the face of God knows what odds. We had shaken hands, she and I, had broken bread together, and she remembered the fine old laws of friendship.
