We then crossed the bridge, arriving al

minutes late for the train. Then arose
the question what IL best 10 do. Some
said We must 90 back and try again, but

auiet until the cars returned, at which
time he thought he could see way out
of the dilemma. We did so and when

ordered them TO run special To carry
our party over. We thanked him for
the courtesy and felt well paid for wait
Ing.

now like children In strength, gradually
wasting away, and saw how tenderly and
lovingly they ever watched the willin:
hands that were extended to them. Tears
would dim my eyes In spite Of all that
could do. But again IL was u pleasure
to me TO know that they were receiving
such good care to partly repay them for
the services so honorably rendered for
our country.
Were IL not for taking 90 much Of
