That was how Mary Hopkins hap- pened to get the letter that was never intended for her, It came when she was on a case, and three hours passed before she found an opportunity to read it behind the closed door of her room, sobbing over- it, though there was as much tenderness and adoration as grief in her tears, and a great joy in her breaking heart. After a single reading she knew it by heart, and so could keep on read- ing it when her eyes were too tear- dimmed to see: Mary Dear: I don't think I'll ever see you:again, but Love doesn't get shot down in the-trenches.
