and Mary heard sounds from within.
They orouched closer together Both
were shaking from head to foot. And
when they beheld, framed in the door

awful face, they skunk away in mortal
terror. When they reached the bench
by the pump they sunk breathlessly
down upon it.

While Pat was gazing Mary crept

where he sank the Merrimac, is a good
llustration OF the attitude taken to-

That a real battle is to be conducted
