On the 16th of October I received a cable recalling me to London for the reason, as I was in- formed. that his Majesty’s Govern- ment desired fresh, unbiased opinion from a responsible Commander upon the question of early evacuation.” Help Was Refused General Hamilton sent a long cablegram, asking for reinforcements and munitions, believing that with them furnished at onceâ€"he under- lines “at once”â€"the troops could clear a passage for the fleet to Con- stantinople. “It may be judged how deep was my disappointment,” he says, “when I learned that essential drafts of reinforcements and muni- tions could not be sent, the reason given being one which prevented me from further insistence.

It occurred to he! that if Mrs. Jones should die she might be Mrs. Jones herself. Jones was a well to do darky on the shady side at forty and had three pickaniunies. Miss Brown supported herself by washing and ironing and thonght that it she could permanently change her occupa- tion to taking care of a family it would he an advantage. “When do yo' waw Jones?" she inquired "Ma wife's gwine to de hospittle about 4 o'clock. Reckon yo‘ mought come round about half past 4." “All right. Mr. Jones: [’11 he dar." Mrs. Jones was removed in the hos- pital ambulance on time. and half an hour later Miss Brown. who was com- monly called Sue by her employers. settled herself down in her place. The children were playing in the street. and Sue did not disturb them. She was taking an eye inventory of the premises umi making, :1 mental rear- rangement of the furniture when Mrs. Jones would he removed from the hos- pital to the cemetery. Mr. Jones. whose name. stripped m' vugliluny. was simply Mose. returned from mnveying his wife with u suit-mu muntenunee to find that Sue inrl x‘remrell :l ('UD of ion for hint and int-.1 it t-t‘t utlt till the table with ti pie ’0 Hf t'tll'll lmllC. Perhaps it would have gone well with Sue had she curbed her impa- tience. Though Mrs. Jones was report- ed getting weaker every day. she‘bung on in a very aggravating way. Sue got] tired asking Mose after his visits to i the hospital how he had found his wife. T hearing only the l'ex'retition. “Porely. ? very porely; she's gwine down hill pow- erful fast.” So it occurred to the girl to go to the hospital and ask questions . on her own account. She bought a live cent posy and. appearing at the hospio i tal door, was received by an attendant. . “Tell Mrs. Jones." she said, ofl'ering ‘ the posy. “dat a frien' oh de family 2 brought her de flowers and hopes she's i gettin’ better.” . The attendant took the flowers and was turning away when Sue asked: “Mrs. Jones mighty sick?" “She's very low." “Not long to lih. I reckon?" “Not long." ~ “ ’Bout how long she gwine to las'?” “The doctor doesn’t expect her to live - the week out." I “l munght ywd somepiu to brave said the girl. [Ier thoughtfulm-.;s lmu'ed up Mose as much as the rcl‘rmhnwms. “How did ya: leave yu' pu' wife?" she asked. “Purely." “13 she gwlne to pull through?" “Dou‘ know; she's powerful sick." Mrs. Jones lost instead of gained She was worried lllmlll her children. and Mose found it necessary to tell her that ho had secured the services of some one to take mro «of them. He did not tell her than! be null got u ymlug woman. for he had Sven evidences al- ready that she \‘Cus ('ijvliug to Slop into his Wife's shoes. and he knew that this would wurry her. ”.‘di.~'.~. Brcmn. of yn‘ dun' mind I like Sue took her departure. greatly com- forted. The attendant took the posy to Mrs. Jones with the message. Mrs. Jones was too ill to appreciate the kind attention. but the faculty of curiosity had not yet deserted her, and she asked if the friend of the family had left a name. The nurse said she had not. whereupon Mrs. Jones asked for a de scription of her and was told that she was a trim colored girl about twenty years old. “Mose." she said. “tak’ good care oh de chillen when l'tn daid." “Sartin.” “Gib all my frien's my lab. and thank de cull'd gal 10' de flowers she hrung me de udder day." “Wha’ cull’d gal?" “Dunno. She said she was a trien‘ of de family." “I wond'r"â€"- Mose checked himself. but too late. Urged to tell what he wondered at. he admitted that Sue might have left the flowers, and when asked who Sue was he admitted that she was the woman who was taking care of the children. Perhaps it was Muse’s evident desire to keep something hark. At any rate. the mother took fright. She raised her- self with marrelous strength consid- ering her condition: and between the nurse and her husband got the story. including some admissions from the latter as to Sue’s kind solicitude in his behalf. 1 That night a hurry call was sent for Mose to come to the hospital to see his wife before she died. Mose obeyed the summons and found the invalid in a state of collapse. When told that her husband was there she rallied. and Mose went to her bedside. By OSCAR COX w .° want me to come.
