until she sank upon the bed from ex-
haustion, where she lay deeply en-

and she wondered il he was still in
the city; how futile any attempt he
might make to rescue her would be; OF

such attempt. He had said, 81 could
not die in a better cause" and she fell

brought to her mind her promise. to

June's heart sank within her as she
thought how slim the chances for es'
