was beautiful young woman, who
was dressed In mourning, as she
stood reviewing the passing troops.

she stood there-silent, but with ore
hand raised above her head and to-
wards heaven-every one felt that
she was invoking Gods blessings
upon the passing troops, and was
thanking Him for sending aid to nei
