myself. It ie not likely that she will see
this—and I am not sure that, she knows my

attention to this paper, andshe may re:nem-

which I signed at the foot of the 'document
we made out together—namely, a return of
deittlis. At the foot of this paper our names
stood one beneath the other—stand there
perhaps, in some forgotten bundle of
papers at the War Office.
I only hope that she will not see thie, for
she might consider it a breach of profession-
al etiquette, and I attach great importance
to the opinion of this woman, whom 1 have
only seen once in my whole life. Moreover,
on that occasion she was subordinate to me

be presumed was borne in upon their fan-
tastic brain by its utter thapplicability.
The parade may be suggested before the
rerd work begins—when it is a question of
marching away from the landing -stage, but
after the work—our work—has begun, there
is remarkably little resemblance to a re-
view.
We are served with many (Aidat papers,
which we never fill in because, on the spur
of the moment, it is apt to auggest itself
that men's lives are more important. We
misapply a vast majority ot our surgical
supplies because the most important item
is usually left behind, at headquarters, or at
the seapot depot. In fact, we do many

omit to do more which we are. expected (of-
ficially) to do
For so re reason—presumably the absence
Of bettor mon—I was sent up to che front
before NVO had been three days at work.
Our hospital by the river was not full when
I received orders to follow the flying col-
umn with two assistants and the appliances
of a field hespital.
Out of this little nuoleua sprang tho
largest depot for skit end wouuded that was
formed diming the campaign. We wore
within easy reach of headquarters, and I
was fortunately allowed a free hand. Thus
our esteddislunent in the desert grew daily
morelnportant, and finally superseded the
hospit3.1 at headquarters.
We had a busy tinie, for the main col -
inn bad now closed up with the first ex-
xiditionary force, and our troops were in
touch with the enemy not 40 miles away
from Inc.
In the course of time—when the authori-
ties learned to cease despising the foo, which
is a little failing in British military high
lace -it was deemed expedient to fortify
us, mill then, in addition to two medical
assistentm_I was allowed three Government
nurses. This last piceo of news was not
hailed with so much enthusiasm as might
have Leen expected. I am not in favor of
bringing women anywhere near the front.
They are, for their own sakes and for the
peace of min(t of others, much better left
behind. If they are beyond a certain age
they break down and have to be sent book
at considerable trouble ; that is to say, an
escort and an ambnlance cart, of which lat.
ter there are never enough. If they are
below the climacteric—ever so little below
it --they cause mischief of another descrip-
tion, and the wounded are neglected; for
there is no passion of the human heart so
cruel and selfish as love.
"I am sorry to hear it," I said to light-
hearted little Sammy Fitz-Warrener cf the
Navel Brigade, who brought me the news.
"Sorry to hear it? Gad ! I shouldn't be.
the place has got a different look about it
when there are women -folk around. They
are so jolly clever in their ways—worth 10
of your red -cross ruffians."
"That is as may be," I answered, break-
ing open the case of whisky which Sammy
had brought up on the carriage of his
machine-gun for my private consumption.
He was taking this machine-gun up to the
front, and mighty proud he was of it.
"A clever gun," he called it ; "an al-
mighty clever gun."
He had ridden alongside of it—sitting on
' the top of his horse as sailors do—through
70 miles of desert without a halt; watch-
ing over it and tending it as he might have
tended his mother, or perhaps some other
woman.
"Gad ! Doctor," he exclaimed, kicking
out his stuady legs and contemplating with
some satisfaction the yellow hide top -boots
which he had bought at the Army and
Navy stores. I know the boots well, and—
avoid them. "Gad! Doctor, you should
see that grin on the warpath. Travels au
light as a tricycle. And when she begins
to talk—my stars ! Click—click—click—
{flick, For all the world like a steam
kaunch's engine— mowing 'em down all the
ttne. No work for you there. It will be
no use you and your stalactrtes progging
about with skewers for the bullet. Look
at the other side, my boy, and you'll find
the beauty has just walked through them."
" Soda or plain ?" I asked—in parenthe-
sis.
"Soda. I don't like the flavor of dead
camel. A big drink, please. I feel as if I
were lined with sandpaper."
He slept that night in the little shanty
built oi mud and roofed chiefly with old
palm mats, which was gracefully called the
head surgeon's quarters. That Is to say, ho
partook of such hospitality MI had to offer
him.
Sammy and I had met before he hadtouch-
ed a rept or 1 a scalpel. We hailed from
the same part of the country—down Devon-
shire way, and ta a limited extent we knew
each other's people, which little phrase has
a vast meaning in places where men do con
gregate.

pital inS.Siceim, he in my bed but Sam

it was owing to the absence of that
picturesque adjunct of a soldier's life. We
talked chiefly of the clever gun; and once,
just before he fell asleep. Samoay returned
to the question of the nurses.
"Yes," he said, »5Ie head sawbones down
there told me to tell you that he had got
permission to send you three nurses. Treat
'em kindly, Jack, for my sake. Bless their
hearts ! They mean well."
Then he fell asleep, and left me thinking
of his words and of his spirit which had
prompted them.
I knew really nothing of this inan'k life,
but he seemed singularly happy, with that
happiness which only comes when daily ex-
istence has a background to it. He speke
habitually of women, as if he loved them all
for the sake of one ; and this not being
precisely my own position, I was glad when
he fell asleep.
The fort was astir next morning at 4.
The' bugler kindly blew a blast, into our
glaseless window which left 110 doubt about
it.
"That means all hands on deck, I take
it," said Sam, who was one of the new men
capable of good humor before tiffin time.
By six o'clock he was ready to go. It was
easy to see what kind of officer this cheery
sailor was by the way his men worked.
While they were getting the machine-gun
limbeeed up Sam carne back to inY quarters
and took a hasty breakfasa

with a gay smile, "Chep—.very oheap. I

very well for some of yoa long -faced fellows,
who don'e seem to have much to live for, to
fight for the love of fighting. I don't want
to fight any man; I'm too fond of 'em all
for that."
I went out after breakfast and gave him
a leg up on his very sorry twee, which he
sat like a tailor or u sailor, He held the
reins like tiller lines, and indalged in a
pleased smile at the affect of the yellow
b ots.
"No great band at tliis sort of thing," he
said, with a nod of farewell. "When the
beast does anything out of the common, or
begins to make heavy weather of it, I am
not."
He ranged up alongside his beloved gun,
and game the word of command with more
dignity than he knew what to do with.
All that day I was employed in arranging
quarters for the nurses. To do this I was
forced to turn some of our most precious
stores eat into the open, covering them with
a tarpaulin, and in consequence felt an the
mare assured that my chief was making a
great mistake.
At 9 o'clock in the evening they arrive d
one of the juniors having ridden out in the
moonlight to meet them. He reported them
completely exhausted; informed me that he
had recommended them to go straight to
bed, and was altogether more entImentstio
about the matter than I petsonally or offi-
cially cared to seo.
He handed me a pencil note from my
chief at headquarters, explaining that lie
had not written me a dispatch because he
had nothing but a J. pen, with which in-
strument he could not make himself legible.
It struck inc that he was suffering from It
plethora of assistance, and was anxious to
reduce his staff.
I stint my entliusiastie assistant to the
nurses' quarters with a message that they
were not to report themselves to mo until
they had had a night's rest, and turned in.
At midnight I was awakened by the
orderly and summoned to the tent of the
officer in command. This youth's face was
considerably whiter than his linen. He
was consulting with his second-in-connuand,
a boy of ile2 or thereabouts.

BIRDS, BEASTS AND FISHES.
Saddeuly his lips moved, and Sister kneel-
ing down on the floor'bent over him.
I could not hear what he said, hut I think
she did. I saw: her lips frame the whisper
4' Yes in reply, and over her facethere
swept suddenly a look of great tenderness.
After a little pause she rose and came to
me.
" Who is he?" she asked. .
"Fitz-Warrener of the Naval Brigade.
Do you know him ?"
"No. I ;lever heard of him. Of course,
it is quite hopelese?"
" Quite?"
She returned to her position by the bed-
side, with one arm laid acmes himeliest.
Presently he began whispering again,
and at intervals ale answered him. It
suddenly occurred to me Shat, in hie un-
consciousness, he was mistaking her for
some one else, and that elle for some wom-
an's reason, was deceiving him purpose-
ly.
In a few moments I was sure of this.
I tried not to look, but 1 saw it all. I
I sew his poor blind bands wander over her
throat and face, up to her hair.
"What is this?' he muttered, quite dis-
tinctly, with that tone of self-absorption
which characterizea the says cf an uncoil -
scions map. "What is this silly cap?"
His lingers wa.ndered on over the snowy
linen until they carne to the strings.
As am aspirant to the title of gentleman,
I felt like running away—many 'lectors
know this feeling ; aa a doctor, I could
only stay.
His fingers fumbled with the strings,
Still Siater bent over the bed. Perhaps
she bent an inch or two nearer. One hand
was beneath his nook, supporting the poor,
shattered head.
He slowly drew off the cap, and his fin-
gers crept lovingly over the soft, fair hair.
" Marny," he said, quite clearly, "you've
done your heir up and you're nothing but
a little girl, you know—nothing but a little
girl."
I could not help watching his fingers,
and yet I felt like a man committing sac-
rilege.
When I left you," said the brainless
voice, "you wore it down your back. You
were a little girl—you are a lietle girl
now,"
And he slowly drew a hairpin out, One
long lock fell curling to her shoulder. She
never looked up, never noticed me, but
knelt there like a miuistering angel—per-
eonating for a time a girl whom we had
never seen.
" My little girl," he added, vita a low
laugh, and drew out another hairpin.
In a tow moments all her hair was about
her shoulders. I had never thought that
she might be carrying such glory quietly
hidden beneath the siintle nurse's cap.
"'IMO is better," be eahl ; that is bete
ter."
And he lot all the hairpins fall on the
coverlet.
"Now you are my own Marny," he
murmnred, 'are you not ?"
She hesitated one moment.
4' Yes, dear," she said, softly, " lain
your own Narny."
With her disengaged hand she stroked
his blanching cheek. There was a certain
science about her touch, a$ if she had once
known somethiug of these metters.
A man covered with sand and blood was
sitting in a hammock -chair, rubbing his
eyes and drinking something out of a tum-
bler.
"News from the front '1" I inquired with-
out, ceremony, which hinderance we had
long since dispensed with.
"Yes, and bad news."
15 corteinly svas not pleasant hearing.
Someone mentioned the saute) disaster, and
we looked at each other with hard, anxious
oyes. I thought of the women, and almost
deekled to send them back before daylight.
In a fe:v moments n. fresh man was arous-
ed out of his bed and sent hill gallop through
the moonlight across the desert to head-
quarters, and the officer in command began
to regain confidence. I think he extracted
it from the dispatch -bearer's tumbler. After
all, lie was not responsible for much. He
was merely a connecting link, a point of
touch between two greater men.
It was necessary to get my men to work
at once, but I gaveparticular orders to leave
the nurses undisturbed. Disaster at the
front meant hard work at the rear. We
all knew that, and endeavored to make
ready for a sudden rush of wounded.
The rueh began before daylight. As they
came in we sawto them, dressing their
wounds and pecking them as closely as pos-
sible. But the stream was continuous; they
never stopped coming; they never gave us a
moment's rest.
At 6 o'clock I gave orders to awaken the
nurses and order them to prepare their quar-
ters for the reception of the wounded. At
6.30 an Anna- Hospital Corps man came to
me in the ward.
"Shockin' case, air, just come in," he said.
"Officer. Gun busted, sir."
"Take him to my quarters," I said, wip-
ing my instruments on my sleeve.
In a few minutes 1. followed, and on en-
tering my little room the first thing I saw
was a pair of yellow boots.
There was no doubt about the beets and
the white duck trousers, and although I
could not see the face, I knew that this was
Sammy Fitz-Warrener come back again.
A woman—one of the nurses for whom
he had pleaded—was bending over the bed
with a sponge god a basin of tepid water.
As I eutered she turned upon me a pair of
calmly horror-stricken eyes.
" Oh 1" she whispered, meauingly, step-
ping back to let me i.pproach. I had no
time to notice then that she was one of those
largely -built women, with perfect skin and
fait- hair, who make one think of what Eng-
land must have been before Gallic blood
got to be so widely disseminated in tit*
race.
"Please pull down that mat from the
Winhow," I said, indicating a temporary
blind which I had put up.
She did so promptly, and returned to the
bedside; falling into position, as it were,
awaiting my orders.
I bent over the bed, and I must confess
that what I saw there gave me a thrill of
horror which will come again at times as
long as I live.
I made a sign to the Sister to continue
her task of sponging away the mud, of which
one ingredient was sand.
" Both eyes," she whispered, " are de-
stroyed."
"'Not the top of the skull," I said, "you
meet not touch that."
For we both knew that our task was
without hope. .

Various Modes of Burial.
The Mahometans always, whether in their
own country or in one of adoption, bury
without coffin or casket of any kind. Dur-
ing the time of the old Roman Empire the
dead bodies of all except suicides were
burned. The Greeks sometimes buried
their dead in the ground, but more general-
ly cremated them in imitation of the Re -
mans. In India, up to w thin the 'mtfew
years, the wife, eitler imeording to her
wishes or otherwise, was cremated ou the
same funeral pyre that converted her dead
husband's remains to ashes. When a child
dies in Greenland the natives bury a live
dog with it, the dog to be used
by the chi'd as a guide to the other
world. When questioned in regard to
this peculiar superstition they will only
answer—"A dog can find his way
anywhere." The natives of Australia tie
the hands of their dead towether and pull
out, their nails; this is for fear that the
corpse may scratch its way out of the grave
and become a vampire. The prim' tive Rus-
sians place a certificate of character in the
dead person's hands, which is to be given
to St. Peter at the gates of Heaven.
