He is an English officer-- Captain Ian Frazer--~coming home from India. He was out of the harbor from Yokoh when war was declared and had to come on this way." "You seem to know his history pret: ty thoroughly," he laughed. "Oh--Celeste, of course!" and turn- ing to me she said: "My maid is a perfect ferret.

He had to give up that long dreamed of trip to come to us. He had told me so many storfes of that picturesque spot-I began to be keenly Interested in the conversation.

As I was about to re: ply in the negative a tull, slender wo- man with soft, pretty gray eyes, dress- ed in a straight coat and sailor hat, came toward me, Something in her manner made me feel she could help. She asked, smiling: "Is there something 1, can do for you?" I explained who I was and my mis- sion. "Why, certainly yon can see Miss Russell. I'll send for her, and, too, I want you to see our hospital. It's crude, but effective. We sometimes handle a thousand men a day. You wiil be interested, I know." She waited until Miss Russell came, and after showing me "the store" which she explained was her part of the work, she sald goodby. It was Lady Algy Lenox, the head of the hos- pital, herself. - Miss Russell laughed at "her part of the work." "It's all her work," 'she declared. "Lady Algy hasn't been back to England since the hospital opened, months ago. She is ¢ | the first one here in the morning and the last one to leave at night.

Later the bead surgeon told me that in getting the men straight from the battlefield as they did, treating them there and putting them directly on the channel boats undoubtedly saved thou- sands of lives.

Her blue eyes wander ed off into space, as if seeing it all again, while before my own came vi- sions of Napoleon, the Louvre, gay res- taurants, wide boulevards, everywhere she continued: "I always have thought of France as a beautiful, brilliant, trag- fle child, not made for contests and brutal battles.
