What a terrible journey it was! Long after the surgeon ceased to tell his story we. caught glimpses from the window of the effects of the war. True, there were no scenes of devas- tation but everywhere families Were hurrying with their belongings, leav- ing home to go they knew not where, for the cry, “The Prussians are com- ing,” filled them with terror. We passed many ‘trains carrying the wounded to the inland hospitals. The stations were crammed with men waiting to be carried farther. They had been brought by wagons and cots from the field, and were waiting to get either to the hospitals or cemeteries. At every halt the Sisters of Charity in our party immediately busied themâ€" selves, but I was useless. The uproar about the stations was like a be- wildering dream; people were running about coniusedly, the troops were tak- ing the trains to go farther, the wound- ed and bleeding were swarming every- where, and the screams of women added to the frightful conditions. E Cannons and baggage wagons rumbled 3by; trains followed, carrying the re- ;serves from Viezinr.

Every roof-covered space was "'a'nmed with wounded men (1; ‘ing and "ax-ins in ,their last agonies, As WC arrived at our destination, Frau Simon complained that I should be more of a burden than a he p, but I roused ad my courage and b gged to be allowed to assist. We found our- selves in middle of the village, at the gzii' of a chateau which had been deserted hj' its owners and fill-d from cellar to roof with wounded men. We got out, and I pulled myself together with all my force. We pas- rsed the gate of the chateau, meeting {stifled sounds of woe on all sides. Everything was dark, and we had for- gotten to bring along any means of lighting. Some matches from the *Doctor's pocket served for a tew I. seconds to give us a flash of the ten i rible picture. Our feet slipped in the . bloody slime, and we could do nothing lbut add our despair to the multitude {groaning and sighing about us. “Mr. Twininv of London must have heard these curses,” said the Doctor. “when he proposed to the Geneva Red Cross that, when the condition of the wounded is hopeless, they should he offered the consolations of religion and then be put out of their agony in the most humane manner, thus preventing tnem from dying with curses of God upon their lips.” “Unchristian to give them such gracious relief?" “How unchristian," cried Frau Simon. “No, but the idea that such curses are a. sin. Txe christian Godfls not unjust, he -akes the fallen soldiers to Himself." “Mohammad promises paradise to3 every Turk who 'slays a christian," replied Dr. Bresser. “Believe me, dear madam, the gods that are repre- ‘ sented as ‘both inciting war and bless- ing murder are deaf both to curses and to prayers.

When my consciousness returned 1 found myself in a railway car, Dr. Bresser sitting beside me. He was bringing me home.

I slept nearly the entire way to Vienna; at the station my father met me, embraced me silently, and said to the Doctor: “How can I thank you for taking this crazy young woman under your protectionâ€"”. “1 must be off.
