A Handsome Docs.

When SAFFRON next opened his eyes
he fancied that he was at home in his
old room IN Rouen. In the house where
he was born, in the little room in
which, as a child. dressed in his dimity
night gown. he had sat up in his bed
by candle light to learn his letters
from the cookery book.
The room was snowy white. Out
side the window he heard a bird sing,
and near by. he heard dogs smoth-
cred bark Then he knew that he
was not at home or a child. for with
the languor and weakness came his
memory. A quiet nurse in hospital
dress was sitting by his bed. and
Pitchoune rose from the foot of the
bed and looked at him adohingiy.
He was in hospital In Algiers.
