while Name bathed his fever heated brow
with ice water her brother Mickie started

After Name had read the letter she took
o second look at the man on the lounge.
She saw that he was young and fairly
good looking. Then she remembered that
Dannie in his letter had said something
about a bullet hole in Grimesey's side.
"Mudder," she cried, she may be a

Before that historic day was three hours
older a vagrant Mauser bullet tunneled

show his gratitude. 1t was a nasty wound,
and at first Mr.. Grimes expressed the
opinion that 1t would be best to leave him

he said to Dannie. "The best thing you

surgeons decided that he, was strong
enough to make the journey to New York.

But great as is the influence of the press,
it car not begin to equal the power of

Forever of thy love! Oh, death,
Oh, life, between, how frail the linkl
Oh, that my heart could speak to thine,
To tell SO much of love unsaid,
I'd multiply my tenderness!
Oh, silent heart, beloved deadl
Oh, that my hand could clasp thine own
And feel the pressure of thy touch
In lifel Oh, love, my heart must break
To wait in vain and yearn SO muchl
Oh, that my lips could wake thine own
To speech-to speech, to lifel o God,
I grope alone! Give thou me grace,
Bow'd low, to walk beneath thy rod.
