" Yes, I saw her," 1 replied, and
she was standing by your cot, and
in her hand she held your own. But
Captain belmont, through her form

when he turned his face again, I
saw my fear was groundless.
" / called her" he said, earnestly,
" and though five hundred miles
away, she heard me and came to
me. God bless her!'
And forall the surgeons prophesy
he rapidly began to mend. Days
slided by, and he grew GONZALES

Two weeks later, going out one
day l met lady going in and it
needed but one glance to tell mo
who it was. I went to her and took
her hand.
"This is Captain Delmont's Net /.

:" Why, this is the very placs I

ago! and you are tue nurse saw

1 did not reply. Harry belmont
had clasped her to his breast, and I
very quietly withdrew.
Of course the story ends with hap

We found large gathering of Creek

Some of our people were present.

NoUMsHING SOUP FOR INvALIDs.-
Boil two pounds of lean veal and q
quarter Of pound of pearl barley in
a quart of water very slowly, until it
becomes the consistency of cream.
Pass it through a fine seive, and salt
i. to taste. Flavor it with celery
seed, il the taste be liked, or use
fresh celery, if in season. A very
small quantity of the seed would suf-
flee. 1t should simmer very slowly,
as otherwise the barley does not
properly amalgamate with the soup.
1t is called barley cream, and will
not keep more than twenty-four
hours. Beef may be used instead
of veal.
