effort, had managed to greet him with a smile, the
victim of a loathsome disease. At great length he

sweetness of her disposition. Il tell you the man

As listened to the doctors remarks 1 was re-

Just before leaving the hospital by one of those

French novelist, Gustave Faubert to the gifted lady

Shell after shell came whilstling to-

houses, one of them bursting just
across the cathedral square.
Inferno of Bursting Shells
Under the cold, drifting rain
clouds, one whole semi-circle of the
horizon, edged by the heights on
which the German batteries We're
mounted, thee miles away, was moth
ing but an inferno of bursting shells.
Those from the Germans landed any
where within the space of a square
mile. Sometimes it was just outside
the town they fell, trying to find the
French troops lying there in the
trenches, waiting to go forward to at
tack the enemy when their artillery
had prepared the way; sometimes it
was wool combing mills of an Eng
fish company, whose four chimney
stalks made them conspicuous
mark; sometimes it was right in the
heart of the town itself.
"Once one of them, screaming
abominably, crashed through the
transept r. of of the other end of the
cathedral. l never shall forget the
note of Mortified surprise and indig-
nation that burst from the old sac
