those poor souls whom he visited adore
him. Then he turned to Nelly.
"Who will stay with her to-nightf'
he asked, 'for indeed she hardly ought
to be left alone"
81 shall stay" was the quiet answer.
"Then come to the door with me,
please, and let me give you your direc-
tions."
Nelly followed and stood there. in
the soft summer dusk-a pretty picture
with the wild-rose flush da wning in
her cheeks and new light kindling
her blue eyes. She listened carefully
10 all his injunctions and then turned
as If to 60. But he put out hand to
detain her.
How very much owe to you," he
said.
"You. how?' And deep, deep Grim
son dyed Nclly's face and throat In
that moment she thought Of her
"bumptious" valentine, which had not
crossed her mind before for long
time.
He looked at her with smile in his
eyes, but with face that preserved all
its respectful gravity. He took red
leather case out of his pocket, and from
the case he took the very old valentine,
which Nelly remembered so well. Tben
he produced the brief note she had
written that afternoon; and still there
was light enough left in the day to see
them by, as he held them side by side.
"Your hand has matured somewhat
since this valentine was written" he
remarked. quietly; but some of these
letters should know anywhere. No
one could deceive me-"
II did not suppose you had kept that
foolish thing" Nellie said, with "a pitt
full little quiver in her voice, as if she
were just on the point of bursting into
tears. II am SO ashamed"
DIR. Jack looked at her moment, as
she stood there in the waning light, a
lovely. graceful girl, from whom any
man might be proud to win even "a
passing interest. So this was the wom-
an, the thought of whom he had car
ried in his heart for years! If he had
ever done any good thing he was paid
for it in the satisfaction of that hour.
Are you sorry he asked, slowly,
"that you have helped one man to be
his best self? Those words of yours
We're to me like the voice of my in

When the spring came Jack Green
went away from Chester and did not
come back there any more No doubt
Nelly Hunt would have forgotten his
"ery existence but for the valentine,
which she could not forget She used
to blush as she grew older, to think
how ''humptious'' it was, as she used to
iall it to herself. What was she, that
she should have undertaken to preach
sermon to that boy? What if he re-
membered it only to think how pre-
snming it was, and to laugh at it? But,

her blnshes.
Nellie was twenty when Jack Green
came back to Chester again. And now
he came as physician, just through
his studies and anxious to build up Il
practice. Soon his fame grew. Ills
patients were among the poor at first.
and he cured them; and then richer
people heard Of it and sent for him.
But, while he took all the patients that
came, he never gave up his practice
among those who most needed him
His praise was in all their mouths
There had never been any doctor like
this one.
Nelly was Miss Hunt now-for Ber-
tina had gone away from her into the
next country-and Nelly's grief had
made her gentle heart yet more gentle,
and her helpful spirit yet more helpful.
Toward night, one summer day, she
had gone to see an old woman who
had been her nurse once, and had
found her very ill-quite too i'll to be
left alone, and certainly in need of a
physician. So Nelly tore leaf from
her memorandum-bools. and wrote on

Army Tents as Ferry Boats.

Some curious experiments have re-
Gently been made with the new tents
which the German soldiers carry with
them. The end in view is to make the
tents, or rather their cloth, serve to
construct ferry boats for the soldiers
baggage To swim a stream in full
accoutrement is not without danger
even for the best swimmers. In fu-
ture, however, the soldiers will be re-
lieved from this necessity by the fold
ing tents, which they will carry with
them. They will collect brushwood
and small branches with which to
weave light framework; the tent cloth
will be unfolded, laid over the frame
work and fastened to it in such man
ner that the water cannot pass through.
The men will then strip and put all
their baggage and accoutrements into
the sail-cloth ferry boats, which will
effectually preserve them from getting
wet. The soldiers then swim across,
pushing the ferryboats before them, so
that they will reach the opposite shore
with all their belongings dry. These
experiments have been made on large
scale by the pioneers on their recently
terminated autumn exercises, and have
led to very favorable results, both as
to the time required and the trouble
occasioned by the transformation
