stupor, and, at the end of the room,
Ralph was busted with some medi-

hurried glance that the door had again

with marked emphasis:

She slowly raised her pale, tear

WARRIOR WOMEN.

the London Queen, lead to many
classes of subdivisions. | have as

woman drank like IA man, fought like
u man, and was as strong as n man.
One of these men-like women led a
mob in the Gordon riots of 1880, and,
to escape the consequences, assumed
mans dress. became n peddler, and
kept up the disguise for the rest OF her
life. There IL the case of Samuel Bun

the Queen Charlotte for eleven years;
she became captain of the foretop.
There were many others. but | will
only relate the case of Christian Cav
enagh. Her father lost his fortune,
and she was taken up by an aunt who
kept a tavern. She married the walt
er and had three children. This hus-
band vas then kidnapped, after the
humane methods of the time. and was
carried OF to Holland, where he had
to enlist as a private soldier. When
Christian heard of this she dressed
as a man and enlisted as a private sol
der in order to get near her husband.
She was wounded at the battle of Ian
den. She was made prisoner by the
French, and was carried to 81. Ger
main-en-Lave. where she stayed I'M
til she was exchanged. She quarreled
with her sergeant, fought a duel with
him. wounded him. and got transferred
to another regiment. Again she was
wounded. At Families she was wound
ed In the head, and while in hospital
her secret was discovered. She was
permitted to stay with the regiment Ms
cook. She married again, lost her
second husband, returned to England,
and presented a petition to the queen,
setting forth her case and her services.
The queen gave her a bounty of ESQ
and a pension of a shilling a day. She
married a third time, set up a pie
shop, came over to Chelsea Hospital
with her third husband. died in 1889,
and was buried with military honors.

KNEELING BE SIDE THE BED.

DO you really mean to try to reach
William" she asked. Suppose that
you should be discovered and recog-
nized as his friend?"
John shrugged his shoulders.
"Then we shall probably be shot to-
cether. Yes, Miss Harrison, a faint
ing fit will be quite superfiuous here
and cannot serve lis in the least. II
you are not resolute, the game will be
lost; and I tell you frankly that 1t
is a matter of life and death. We
shall undoubtedly be considered spies.
and your cousin will certainly do
nothing to clear up the error. This
is the exact state of the case. Will
you lie here, fainting, while 1t is de-
cided, or will you do what you can to
help?"

nose. What william. with all his con-

His tone was the courteous yet de-
cided one Of a man accustomed to see
his medical authority recognized with
out opposition. Edward had not in
tended to enter the sick chamber.
where he would be Obliged to meet
Florence, but the plainly intimated re-
quest that he should remain outside
nettled him. He glanced haughtily at
the doctor and replied with evident
GOODNESS.

OF my uncle's health"
He gave the necessary orders to the
servant, who was still in the room.
and then turned to Thompson again.
The doctor was ushered through sew
eral apartments no less richly fur
nished than the drawing-room, then
the man opened a door yelled by a
heavy portiere and permitted the ply
sician to enter, while he himself re-
NAMED behind.

finished her story did he ask n few
brief, direct questions.

to me with all his soul, and will do
anything to save william. Won't you.

She had summoned the old servant
by a gesture. He laid his hand upon
his heart.
Yes, Miss Florence-anything."
Maxwell looked keenly at him a few
minutes, and seemed satisfied.

cued," he said. will you help u.s."

ed from the servants: but be careful
to rouse no suspicion
Ralph's face showed that he clearly
understood the importance Of the com
mission. He promised in a whisper
to obey exactly, and then glided noise
lcssly out Of the room. Maxwell again
turned to Florence. who seemed some
what sustained by his presence.

on. Doctor Maxwell, will my father

John Maxwell did not answer the de-

glance at Harrison had told him that
