Mrs. Marasco was carried to the hospital from her homo suffering from internal "Dr. C. C. Sichel told the young husband as gently as possible that his wife's death was only a question of hours.

"She simply has no more blood," ex- plained the physician. "Her veins have been' drained to almost the last drop, and her heart action cannot continue much longer. There might be one chance for her if it were possible to transfuse a' large quantity of healthy blood into her veins." "Couldn't' you take my blood demanded the husband." "She can have it all."

Her pulse gained strength and her breathing became easier and stronger. As his wife gained, however, Dom inick slowly lost his strength. His lips, compressed together tightly, turned slowly from a rich red to an ashen color. The color left his cheeks, and the perspiration started from his face. The doctors watched him carefully as he grew weaker moment by moment At last the ten minutes were up, and it was evident to the watching surgeons that Dominick had reached, the end of his strength.
