JVJ. soldiers call her, la the daughter
of an ex-medical director of the United
States navy. At the oittbrcak of the war
she teas An France.
Accepted as a helper In a small French
hospital on the Jllvicra, she later acrved
in an English hospital at Mcntonc. Thcro
she heard tha,t an examination waa to be
held for a nurse'a diploma in the French
lied Gross. She studied day and night,
faced nine doctors in an oral crnmltia
flon of two and a half hours and pasicd
icith credit, llcr diploma was signed by
the Minister of War; and she icas sent to
the front as a member of the regular
military organltatlon. She arrvca, with
the rank of lieutenant, at a French army
hospital near the trenches of the Marne.
These letters, written in the heat of
action, "for one nnrl for one only," have
met with a warm response among many
sympathetic hearers. Their 'publication

may reach a wUlcr circle and bring help

PAV1MO.V V,
.September 10, in IS.
ISIIOlM.n like to give you a. history of
those, two last eventful days in Parli
from my sudden summons on Thursday
to my depnrturo from the solemn metrop
olis on Sunday at noon. Just Imagine n
plnwhecl In motion, and you get a mill turn
In parvo notion of what happened.
The changing scenes of tho last few hours
keep dancing beforo my eyes llko spots
when one has looked at tho sun. The
lovely vista of tho Marne Valley, the con
stant babble of my eleven sifters In nrms,
the arrival in a station crowded with men
and munitions, our billeting each In a sep
arate houso In the village, supper off tin
plates In a long dingy barrack with des
perate wounded behind the partition, a
scrambling homo through the tiny streets
lit only by splendid Btnrs nnd a .setting
moon, and a night spent In trying to lie
flat In a huge feather bed, listening between
rapid dreams to the booming of the guns,
those aro tho elements.
Hut oh, I can't express what it menus to
hear the guns for tho first time! It Is a
sensation so vast nnd lonely nnd crowded
and cosmic all at once that one seems born
Into a new phase of exlstcnco where tho old
ways of feeling things do not nnswer any
longer.
I am lodged with rank of lieutenant In, a
splendid big room overlooking a bright gar
den, with dear old women to take care of
me, and they promise to give me hot water
every night, and lots of cold water In the
morning, obeying tho law of hospitality to
satisfy wants they do not understand! In
fact, everything goes splendidly so far.
I'm a soldier now, and get my orders
straight from General Headquarters. I
am perhaps the only American who has
been regularly militarized, certainly In the
two societies to which I belong, which nre
the best In France.
I seize the shining moment this golden
afternoon whllo they finish putting the roof
on this new hospital. The wounded may
arrive In two clays, and tomorrow we shall

presses. September 21, 1915.
This morning with four others I drovo
out over the surrounding battlefields smil

Kverywhero over hill and dale and through
the woodland are scattered ciosaes, gay
with flags and (lowers now, for It Is tho
anniversary of tho Great Victory. The
German graves aro very neatly and decently
kept, but naturally thero aro no flowers,
and tho cross Is always marked with a
black nnd gray stripe. We passed through
three ruined villages, the very abomination
of desolation, only an occasional wall or
chimney left stnndlng; nnd what makes the
very passion of pathos, small, Intimate
things often stand out nlmost Intact whero
heavy masonry has completely vanished
now a sewing machine, now a. tiny stove,
now a baby's cradlo quite recognizable.

proof that all wounds heal with time, was
the sight of various new llttlo (.hacks,

that thero will be a convoy of wounded In

PATSY KILDARE, OUTLAW
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS
....,. mother Is dead
IT'S no tun wnen ju
like mine Is and when your father
watches nights. I sat on tho edgo of my
bed this morning and wished I was a dog.
because Rowdy feels the same all tho time,
and though ho had a father and a mother
bo doesn't care because they're gone. Night
and day and rain and shine ho always feels
tho same, and Is ready to wag his tall for
a kind word. But there's no use wishing
I was a dog, becauso I don't need a tall,
for no one says a kind word t me ever.
Then I put on my dress over my head, bo
cause I can't button It all tho wny up the
back, nnd I only undo the two top buttons,
and went out to tho kitchen, and thcro were
tho pancakes ns usual. I fried tho cakes
and Rowdy ate most of tlicnl, and I won
dered If when I grew to bo an old maid like
Old Maid Tompkins I will bo nblo to havo
somo other things for breakfast the way
shn docs.
I went out to my mother's grave when
t rambled this morning and found It look
ing very nlco nnd comfortnblo. My mother
Is lucky to have n nlco smooth green grassy
grave nnd not a tumbled bed to Bleep In.
My father can't spare me, and ho likes to
bo with mo ns much as ho can when he's
not watching or sleeping, which Is alt tho
tlmo, but thero nre short graves there, I
lay down and measured ono that was Just
my size
A lady camo and said, "What aro you
doing, llttlo girl?" I said, "I nm measur
ing this grave. It Is certainly a dandy llt
tlo grno." Sho said, "That Is my llttlo
girl's grave." I said, "Vou ought to be
glad, for she Is certainly a lucky llttlo girl."
Sho said, "Lucky I" And I said, "Of course.
Sho Is In heaven nnd has lots of angels to
play with. Suppose you had gono to heaven
and left her hero llko my mother left me.
That's her grave over there."
Tho lady went and put flowers on my
mother's grave nnd said that I had leached
her a lesson and that sho was not going to
feel bad any more, which Is a good thing.
Then it was tlmo to gy swimming and we
did. 1 can kick nlong with ono foot on tho
bottom better than over, and beforo long l
shall be swimming and the old cow can
keep her bladder, which ought to bo a re
lief to tho mart who owns her.
When I got heme t took somo money out
of my father's pocket nnd got somo peaches
and somo lemons and somo candy nnd some
cakes nnd made some lemonndo nnd nte
tho poaches nnd tho candy nnd tho cakes
nnd drank the lemonado nnd mado n pretty
good dinner. It wns hot outside and every,
body was taking a nap nnd thero wasn't a
thing to dc. So wo w-cnt for a ramble down
to tho railroad track nnd watched tho trains
go by. I pretended that I knew whero the
trains wrre going, and It was n lot of fun.
Next time I went homo tho pancakes
wcro mixed nnd waiting nnd my father had
gono watching. After that wo rambled nnd
went to the park. I heard music playing,
and the first thing I know thcro was tho
baud playing lu tho pail: nnd people nnd
children wcro thcro nnd everybody was
happy. 1 watched tho kids go to the foun
tain for a drink and I thought maybe some
f.f them would llko to play with me, so
ovcry time nny of them went to get a drink
I went nnd drank, too, but nobody played
with mo, so I nearly drowned myself drink
ing. A lady said: "See that llttlo girl. She
looks ns If sho wanted to cry because she's
got no little girl to play with." I said: "No,
ma'am, far be It from so. I don't want to
cry, for I am having tho tlmo of my life."
She said, "How old nro you?" I said, "Six."
Then another woman said: "Don't fool with
her. That's I'atsy Klldaro that I was tell.
Ing you about, nnd she roams tho streets
all night with that awful dog." Then the
lady said, "1 should think her mother would
turn ocr in her giave." Tho other lady
snld, "Sho needs a good spankln'."
Just then u boy popped me on the barn
leg with his handkerchief, and It hurt, nnd
I popped him on the noso with my fist, nnd
came homo feeling better. I shall go to
tho park again. 1 wouldn't mind going to
sleep If It was not for waking up to pan
cakes. (ConvrWIit.)
The next ndientiire nf Pntv Klldaro will ap
