out into the bay where the ship was
anchored, and the nurses were taken
on board and conveyed directly to the
sTone steps leading up from the river
to the back Of the hospital, and they
were Immediately assigned to duty in
the wards A few wounded came in
during the night, but in the morning
came a perfect stream. All day long
these women worked, assisted by a
number of American ladies who had
volunteered their services, and when
night came, with it cessation of new
cases, they were completely exhausted.
It was at this time that the nurse who
had discovered Jules condition went
to her companion and said:
'Miss Preston, there is a wounded
man from your state on my side OF
the ward who is delirious. You said
YOU wanted to see all the men from
your state"
Thanking her, Miss Preston follow
ed to the cot where julie lay, his head
swathed in bandages as to expose only
a portion Of his face, and stopped
down to read his name on his identi-
fication tag. She had barely read:
Julius Orion" when julie apparently
disturbed by the lifting of the tag, be-
gan again to mutter incoherently about
being deserted and left to die. With
half smothered shrek she fell on her
knees beside the cot and took Jules
hand in one of hers, while with the
other she gently stroked his face, ex
claiming almost as incoherently as he:
II didn't, julie, I didn't. I'm here
l only did it to surprise you. thought
was coming on the same boat. julie,
julie, I'm here. julie, JULIE"
The muttering ceased, the head that
had been swaying from side to side on
the pillow came to a rest and the pa
TENTS eyes slowly opened and rested
upon the pleading, tear-stained face
held so close to his. For a moment
they rested there without recogni-
ton, and then sweet smile gradually
stole over the white face, and softly
whispering "Susie," the patient again
closed his eyes and fell into q calm
sleep.

out again with Increased Intensity as
the American line began to move for
ward through the swamps to the at
tack. Wading in water up to their
breasts, crossing the swept bridges,
plunging through jungles Of brush,
crossing open spaces exposed to the
full view of the enemy, with men fall
ing dead and wounded on all Sides,
the volunteers pushed steadily for
ward until they came within charging
distance of the forts and trenches and
then they rushed into and over them
and swept the Filipinos out as rest
less flood sweeps driftwood from a
river
1t was during this last desperate
charge that Jules fell with wound in
the head that rendered him inSensible.
A little later the litter bearers of the
hospital corps found him, and carried
him back to the field hospital, where
his wound was given a temporary
dressing, and tag was tied to his
clothing, giving his name and regi-
ment, and a diagnosis of his injury, to
expedite work at the general hospital.
His name and regiment had been
ascertained from his Identification tag,
little aluminium disk which nearly
every soldier wore suspended from his
neck by string, a device presented
by the Red Cross society. An hour
later he was placed with others, both
dead anu wounded, in an ambulance
and carried to the general hospital,
which stands on the bank of the Pasig,
Just outside the city wall. The oper-
ating room was full of wounded await
ing attention, the equipment Of the
hospital being utterly inadequate to
the demands so Unexpectedly made
upon it, and it was several hours be-
fore Jules turn came to receive sur
gical attention. In his case the delay
was not serious, for he was sent
to cot hastily 1mprovised in one OF
the casualty wards. 1t was here
he first recovered his senses sufficient
ly to realize what had happened, and
to think again Of the one absorbing
thing that had beer on his mind con-
stantly as he lay under fire the night
before, and even during the excite
ment Of the advance and charge upon
the fort Why had Susie deserted him
It seemed to him now, enfeebled both
mentally and physically by his injury,
that she had deserted him in the hour
of peril and left him to die in strange
land. Mental worry and increasing
fever from his wound gradually rem
dered him delirious. moaning and tos-

The transport that had brought the

dozen Red Cross nurses, and never
was woman's help more badly needed.

It was a day Of mental anguish for

A Surprise
~
BY H. L WELLS

The tropical sun was beating down
with relentless heat. Patrols were
working their way slowly along on
the shady side Of the street and SEN
tinels were standing under the pro-
lection of trees and doorways try
ing to imagine that this dreary round
Of duty in the heart Of Manila was
actual war. Everything else seemed
to be asleep. The stores were closed
destrians and conveyances alike. The
only signs of life came from the open
doors Of certain places Of resort, where
the American soldiers not actually on
duty or taking Siesta, as every we'll
regulated dweller in the tropics should,
were smoking dungaree cigarettes and
slipping the beer that made some place
famous. This scene of almost perfect
calm was suddenly disturbed in the
Quartet occupied by the regiment, by
the irruption Of quilez loaded with
sacks of mail and the wiry little regi
mental chaplain, whose boundless en-
ergy had found a way to secure
vehicle even during the siesta hour.
Someone raised the glad cry Of Mail !"
and almost in an instant the camp
was In ferment. fIalf-awakened sol
diers poured out Of barrack doors like
rats from a sinking ship. Half thou
sand pairs Of eyes devoured the great
heap Of letters and papers, as the
| chaplain and a few volunteer assist
ants rapidly sorted it over by COM
panies. Soon each company had it's
| share, and few minutes later the In
dividuals eagerly grasped their home
| messages and began to revel In their
contents.
No one was more eager or impatient
| as he was called both at home and
In the army, and as soon as the SER
geant handed him q bunch of letters
he retired to his bamboo bunk and
read them. Carefully picking out
| three square envelopes, all addressed
! in the same feminine hand, he laid
| them aside for the last, so that he
ceeded to open the others. This done
he took the three he had reserved, ar
| ranged them in the order of the dates
as shown by the postmarks, and then
His countenance bore an expression
| Of unallOyed happiness and content,
and then look of startled perplexity
| came over it. What he read was
| startling enough for soldier 5000
| miles across the sea to receive from
| the girl he expected to marry The
letter said:
| "You know in my last letter l said
l might have something Of great i'm
| portance to tell you, but 1t was not
| vet settled. Well, it's settled now.
This is my last letter. Good by.
SADIE"
No more letters. What could this
mean? Had she finally decided she
could not wait any longer for the lover
who had been willing to leave her and
go to the war, and married the one
who remained at home? He could not
believe it, and yet he was constantly
tortured with the thought that an
urgent lover with plenty of money to
lavish upon girl right at hand had
greet advantages over one so far away
thar even his letters were often two
months old when they reached her. It
was q whole month before another
transport came In with mail, and when
4 at last the chaplain drove into the
Quartet with load OF mail sacks, no
ones heart beat louder with anxiety

last his letters were handed to him,
but there was no familiar envelope.
The blow was so deadening that he did
not even open his other letters for half
an hour, but remained plunged in fruit
