As approached he raised his left arm. bending his wrist with quick motion quite characteristic, and, looking at his watch. said sharply, for the desire to command was so innate that to sepa- rate him from it would have been to separate his soul from his body, "You are little late, nurse.'

 His tone was little aggressive. l stopped for second and looked at him. There he sat, propped up in bed with pillows, heavy, handsome type of his class, a prisoner of war, and yet the whole thing struck me as too funny for words, and began to laugh. He evidently saw the humor of the situa- ton himself and laughed also.
