This type of man reads in the paper with horror cf the husband who has been arrestti for beating his wife, and he never suspects that he is a far more cruel and callousod bullying brute than the man who merely inflicts a physical injury on his w'fe and childun, A blow on the face heals quicker than a blow to he hsart, and there are thousands of wives, married to impeccable gentlemen who would be incapable of striking a woman, who would gladly exchange their wounded Br.d lacerated feelings for a black eye.

She looked about and saw she was in a long hospital ward some thing like Shack 3, lying on a cot she, Cally Orme, the indefatigable, lying upon an army bed and being told by a white capped nurse that she couldn't go somewhere! Sally almost laughed outright.

"You don't mean that he's" Sally couldn't finish It "Dead By no means! But he's coming out of ether and isn't company. Now you be a good girl and. rest and you can go back to your own camp in a few days." But Sally refused to be a guest at the observation camp hospital more than a day. Seeing ttiat to stay would fret her into a more dangerous state than to go, the head surgeon gave reluctant permission and Sally, making sure that Roger was not on the verge of death as she had feared, returned to Shack 3.

Dr. Rolf was no. more shocked at her white and wabbly appearance than Sally was at his. Her escapade was reflected in anguish upon his face. The grip of his hands as he met her was more eloquent of his anxiety at her danger and his relief at seeing her back than any words could be.

"Sally Sally!" It was all he said. And Sally, whose womanly emotions were all in chaos, could not have told for the life of her whether the response that welled in her heart was maternal or sisterly or comradely or pitying or loving or all of them together. "Well, I've come back to my chil dren," she said a little tremulously. "How are they all?" Rolf made no reply. He threw open the door Of the shack and followed Sally with yearning eyes as she passed through.
