Th neeling posture which I was compeiled to kee was a most fatiguing one, and the hand that clasped the fingers of the wounded man soon began to fe numb. But my pride wouldn’t let mit my weakness.

Then she put me in the easy chair drawn close to the bedside and turned back to her patient. Madge Is Startled. “Do you mean to tell me,” he said, and his voice quavered weakly with excitement, ‘“‘that you allowed her to fatigue herself in this manner?” I rase from my seat and bent over him, motioning the nurse to one side.

I wanted you to have a good sleep, and feared Yyou might awaken if I went away, so I refused the nurse's efforts to have me leave you. I knew that he had forgotten his half-delirious wish for me to hold fast to his hand while he slept, knew also that in his weakened state he would probably reproach himself bitterly for making the request if he learned that he had done so.

Y. Her own name, together with the story of “Joan of Arc” which has come to her in a picture book left at the asylum by a friendly neighbor, leads her to believe that she may be inspired and intended to save her country like the Maid of Orleans. It so happens that Joan has fallen in love with Lane, a dashing young captain of the camp nearby.
