IS Christmas present
3 had been a bullet in his
4§ left arm from an enemy
—‘?e £ gun. He lay upon his
qor T cot in the field hkospital.
LAY Yuletide bustle pervad
% .} ed the camps outside.
ity With grim, set lips,
S through an open win-
N . dow, he watched an air
ship gyrating in mid air,
- and wondered what the
future would bring to
him of weal and woe.
“The most resigned, heroic patient
we ever had,” spoke the Red Cross
nurse’to the surgeon. “When he woke
up after the anesthetic and missed his
arm, he said quietly: “They didn’t get
both, did they? Tl've one still left for
the service of my country.”
“Yes,” nodded the surgeon, “the man
is made of hero stuff all through. He
rooted eighteen of the foe out of a
trench and marched them into camp
all alone, that shattered arm hanging
vseless at his side.”
“Sergeant Dexter Marsh has some
thing on his mind,” said the nurse. He
keeps his eyes fixed with a faraway
look, as if some haunting sorrow made
him forget everything else.”
“Tell him the general is coming to
see him,” advised the surgeon.
But the patient simply smiled his
thanks when the nurse imparted the
intelligence. Even e
when the general (SEaSales
appeared he was KESSSEES
self-contained and [EESSS
abstracted. # Ve
“Bravest of all | ‘ oo
my dear brave
children!” spoke 15” f
the war-scarred a \‘ A /
veteran. ‘‘You | KRS &
have added to our , ‘
glory and the Z \'9'3? /
army acknowl- i
edges it with grat- Aly ;
itude and esteem, B ‘
Lieutenant
Marsh,” and he :
pinned a golden
medal to the
blouse the patient wore.
“Get well, my boy,” spoke the gen
eral. “We’ll see that you help win the
war behind the lines as a directing
force, just as you have with that mad,
reckless dash that has invalided you.”
At noon, when the nurse came again
to the cot, her patient was gazing at
the holly and evergreen trimmings, and
scemed pleased at some flowers
brought by a comrade who sat beside
him.
“The whole company wanted to
come,” explained the latter, “but I told
them that wouldn’t do.”
The nurse accompanied him to the
anteroom. “Do you know Lieutenant
Marsh very well?” she inquired point
edly; and as he nodded, “then can you
tell me what is so constanfly on his
mind?”
“It’s Ada Wilbert.”
“Who is she?”
“She was his wife. Back home he
married her on an impulse. He had
half an hour to catch a train. She had
insisted that she would become a war
nurse and follow him abroad. They
were married by a clergyman, near the
depot. Marsh had just time to snatch
a kiss and catch the train. He has
never heard from her since, but a
month ago a relative wrote him that
Ada had managed to have the mar
riage annulled. She had disowned
him, and it broke his heart.”
“poor soul!” murmured the nurse
sympathetically.
Marsh closed his eyes as dusk came
on. The bands outside were playing
eld’ familiar
\ \ tunes. His tor
‘ !,! tured mind went
il“ X back to home
:II 485, \ scenes of which
,/r/ / "' Ada had been the
!/;; r,-, ’ . /' | center. The nurse
1 S ‘ fancied he was
i EERS M \|lil| asleep, and left
h s g ||| the room. In the
|| 3 corridor outside
SN || 2 girl wearing a
| R Lo gossamer spoke to
| L her.
i “Miss Arnold?”
she inquired.
~ 8 “Yen”
O “From the chief
of the medical
staff.” The nurse read an order trans
ferring her to another ward, substi
tute: Miss Ada Wilbert. She stared
in amazement.
“You know who I am?’ spoke the
intruder.
“Why, yves. I—l cannot understand.”
“As to my being here? It has been
the ene impulse of my life, ever since
+he military authorities passed the re
trietion that no wife could accompany
her husband abroad. My marriage
went for naught. I had it annuiled. I
am no longer a wife, lam only a lov
ing. loyal girl, whose place is beside
?1: » man for whom she would give her
life.”?
Ada swept aside the enveloping
¢loak, to reveal a Red Cross costume.
“You noble creature!” quavered the
nurse. *“Come.”
And after a while, when the shock
nd surprise of her presence had been
<ubdued, Ada retold her story to Dex
ter Marsh.
Outside his comrades were singing
(‘hristmas carols, but within his happy
soul the very harps of heaven seemed
to echo, with an angel of love and
tierey at his sidel

give Cardui a trial? It
should surely do for you
what it has done for so

Ask some lady friend
who has taken Cardui.
She will tell you how it
helped her. Try Cardui.

There ;g more Catarrh in this sectior
of the country than ail other diseases
put together, and for years it was sup
posed to be incurable. Doctors prescrived
local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly inf. >nced by constitutional con
ditions and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. F .ll's Catarrh Medi
