general, pressing his hand and
hurrying to the telegraph office.
The doctors arrived at 3 o.
clock and held a consultation
with DR.. Graham. They decided
that the loss of blood had been so
great that the only chance to
save her was in the TRANSMISSION
of blood.
III give her the blood, Tom, "
said CASTOR, quietly removing
his coat and bearing his arm.
The old soldier looked up
through his greatful tears.
Next to the general, you're
the best friend God ever give

The general turned his face a
way and looked out of the win
dow. The doctors Immediately
performed the operation, trans
fusing blood from Castor into
the child, The results did not
seem to promise what they had
hoped. Her fever rose steady.
She became conscious again and
Immediately went into the most
fearful commissions, breaking the
torn artery a second time.
Just as the sun sank beneath
the blue mountain peaks in the
west her heart fluttered and she
was dead.
Tom sat by the bed for two
hours, looking, looking, looking
with wide, staring eyes at her
white dead face. There was not
the trace of a tear, His mouth
was set in hard, cold way, and
he never moved or spoke.
The preacher tried to comfort
Tom, who stared at him as
though he did not recognize him
at firsu, and then slowly began:
Go away, preacher; I don't
want to see or talk to you now.
It's all swindle and lie. There
is no God!"

preacher.
