with every waking breath she drew
twanged holloway in her mothers heart
One afternoon Mrs FarlOw's oldes
daughter came hurrying in. Her fac,
was white. She had just learned tina
the Rainbow division had been ordered

Mrs. Farlow rose, her face tragic
One glance she gave about her, then
she collapsed, sinking to the floor. In
/ her fall she overturned a huge pile OF
antiseptic gauze just torn into squares
for TriangularS No. Is.
The room instantly was in confu,
sion. Instantly every one sprang to
the mothers aid-that is, every one
but Mrs. Britt. She rose and rescued
the bandageS under foot. Then, her
face hard as nails. grimIy Mrs. Britt
went back TO her work. When Mrs.
Farlow, still stricken. was led away 10
her car outside the drab figure in the
corner was plugging away as mechan-

one glance she threw over her Shout

contemptuouS.
A hard woman, Mrs. Britt; a heart
less one, too, it was agreed.
For days nothing was seen at the
auxiliary of Mrs. Farlow. It was un-
derstood that in her grief and appre-

Once more she was led away.

direct administration of the city civil

would not only lead to greater
harmony in the operation of the civil
