looked into the woman's face with ar-

She smiled and nodded. She was
the .embodiment of health and vigor.
Her stalwart body and her wholesome
rosy face were pleasant for sick eyes
to look upon. "Yes, you've come
back," she said emphatically. "When
the doctor left an hour ago he said we
had pulled you safely around the cor-

for me is to see you are kept quiet and

"Yes, happy -that's the biggest part
of the prescription," repeated Merry
with a laugh,
The sick man looked up. The con-

began to see perfectly through the
gloom. Wentworth's grim gaunt face
had startled him for a minute. The l
eyelids were closed, with depths of
shadow below them. The man's demi-,
nating nose stood out like a silhouette !
against the white pillow. The mus-
tache had been shaved away and lines,
chiseled by days and nights of pain,
wrinkled about the quiet mouth.
Merry sat staring at the haggard face
with a dull, tugging hope in his soul,
which he could not voice even to Dor-,
cas. He wanted time -time enough
to tell Enoch that the old enmity was
dead, that the old love was alive, !
strengthened by stew ties. A spasm
of pain ran through the sick man's
face, wrinkling the pallid forehead
and twitching the lips. Merry look-
ed up at the nurse. She read the
question in his eyes.
"No,' she whispered, "he is going to
live. His brain is clear now. He
has a great constitution. That was
the only thing that saved him."
The woman had a strong, intell-
ligenb face and her manner was full
of calm conviction. She was not
young and must have watched over
many a battle between life and death.
She knew! Merry sighed with relief and
peace of mind, even with a mad throb
of joy. The thought of Dorcas and
the future came with the conviction
that there was still time to take up
the old bonds of love to begin life
again.
The face upon the pillow moved and
Epoch's eyes opened slowly. Recog-
nition flashed into them, then a smile
crept about the lined mouth.
"Enoch!" The young man dropped
on his knees beside the bed, his fin-
gers stole under the sheet and caught
in a strong grasp the hand which lie
had thought was slipping from his
reach.
Wentworth's eyes held a breathless

She spoke without looking up.,
"You haven't cared to hear about
!business, Enoch. There are some
things you may want to know, since
you are strong again. Mr. Oswald
sailed for England a fortnight ago.
He hated to go, leaving you before
the critical point was passed, but the
Strand Theatre offered open time for
August and it had to be attended to.
He is rehearsing an English company
now for 'The House.' "
"Didn't he want you for it?" asked
Wentworth.

HOW SHE FOUGHT FOR SERBIA.
Englishwoman Describes Her Life as
Sergeant.
Miss Flora Sandes, an English-
woman .who served as a Serbian sol-
dier, gives her experiences in a book,.
which has just been published in Lon-
don.
She worked as a voluntary nurse
in Serbia for eighteen months before
the Bulgarian invasion, and was with
one regiment when it retreated into
Albania before the overwhelming en-
emy forces. She ultimately reached
Durazzo and Corfu. Finding her de-
cupation gone, she enrolled as a pri-
vate soldier, and within a short time
was promoted to be corporal, and
later to the grade of sergeant. While
she was with the retreating Serbians
they were fighting a rearguard ac-
tion practically for six weeks.
She ends the volume with the an-
nouncement that she is "eagerly
looking forward to the time when we
can get another whack at the enemy
and march victoriously back to Ser-
bia. With any luck, I hope. seine
day to be able to describe how we
accomplished it, and the triumphant
entry into Nish, which we were al-
ways talking about."
