Her presence was not questioned even
when, after the funeral, the few mourn

lawyer of the recluse at his own request.
Farmer John looked glum and unin-

face glowed eagerly.

the lawyer. He made a new will yes

"Ah!" Ralph Prescott futtered res

ITO your daughter, Mr.. Elliott, he
has left this house and ground, with the
expressed wish that the nurse here, Mrs.
Easton, keep it in order till she chooses

Farmer John set his lips savagely.

Inefficient.

Goodwill counts for very little by
itself in a sick-rOOm. OF all persons
in the world, a nurse must know how
to go ahead and do what needs to be
done, without questions and without
fuss. Mrs. SWisshelm had new ap-
probation of this truth when she
came to need a nurse for herself after
wearing herself out in nursing
wounded soldiers.
When | lay i'll, a friend told me Of
an excellent woman who had come
from afar, and rendered her services
to the government. She had exerted
much influence and spent much effort
to get into a hospital as nurse, but
had failed.
Hearing of my illness, her desire to
be useful led her to tender her SER
vices. Her generous offer was ac-
cepted, and was left for an after
noon in her care.
wanted a cup of tea. She went
to the kitchen to make it, and one
hour after came up with cup of tea,
only this and nothing more, save a
saucer. To taste the tea / must have
a spoon, and to get one she must go
along a hall, down long flight Of
stairs, through another hall aud the
kitchen, to the pantry.
When she had made the trip the
tea was so much too strong that a
spoonful would have made cup. She
went down again for hot water, and
after she had got to the kitchen re-
membered that she had thrown the
water away, thinking it would not be
wanted.
The fire had gone out, and the
woman came up to inquire if she
should make a new one, and if so,
where she should find kindling.
She had spent almost two hours in
running to and fro, was all in per-
spiration and a fuster, had done me
great deal of harm and no one any
good, had wasted all the kindlings
for the evening fire, had used tea
enough to serve a large family for
meal and had fairly illustrated a
large part of the hospital service rem
dered by women oppressed with the
nursing mission.
