to close upa wound upon comrade. From

by the Sir knights, performed by Il slight
girl of eighteen, Ida Harness, and so
quietly done that it has not been heard OF
in newspapers. Her si,ter's hand had
been crushed in mangle. To make 1t
whole again, into the wound was grated
niue pieces OF skin, each about an inch
in diuneter, cut from our heroine's arm.
