To live for ones kith and kin is often more
heroic than to die for ones country. Not all
women's lives are cast in pleasant places.

struggles to earn an honest livelihood, see
ing all too little of the joy of life, and sip
ping all too early Of the cup of sorrow and
disappointment. Scarcely can she feed or

robbed in an alley near the corner Of
Mayo and Franklin Streets. He was

OF them struck him In the head. and
he was floored. Another straddled hin,
