he was henceforth to be Little Chit's

boy was to have everything that mon

Ten years elapse.
Terrible as the strain Of the last few
days had been-days when there was
neither sleep nor moments rest nor
ease of mind, every member OF Uni
versity unit No. 2 thrilled with pride.
American engineers had filled the
gap. Throwing away picks and SHOW

that was pouring through wide hole
at the very base of the British wedge,
widening hole that for two days
threatened to turn Byng's mighty vic

She was not a trained nurse, this
beautiful, fair-haired young woman.
She had volunteered as a secretary to
an American university unit, just as
hundreds of other wealthy American
girls had volunteered.
In the stress that followed the ebb
and flow of the great offensive when
first dressing stations had been swept
away and disorganized, moaning, man
gled men had been hauled in by the
hundred-hauled in, yet wearing the
foul, sticky clothing in which they
had fallen.
She had plunged in and scrubbed
and cut away filthy clothed clothing
and done cheerfully and we'll those re-
| pulsively necessary things for which
training is naught beside strong hands,
and calm nerves and a cool head, all Of
which the Money Princess had. And
glad enough they were when later she
offered to relieve one of the worn -out
nurses in the hall.
With cool professional air she now
glanced down at the card before her.
A quick intake of her breath. Leaving
the desk she moved swiftly into the
dimly lighted pavilion.
"Mother!"
How often had that cry rung out
over the red soaked fields of France!
Always it was their first word when
they came from under the anesthetic.
Quickly she moved toward the bed
and knelt beside him. 1t was very I'M

The manager of the great hotel swung
about in his chair and addressed i'm
patiently round-faced, matronly
woman whose arm was about fair
haired little girl clinging to her as
though for protection from the excit-

with placid satisfaction the gasp OF

That very night the Money Princess
and her retinue left the great hotel
But as the last taxicab pulled away
from under the porte cochere, bright
