But It wasn't until some ono asked her If she ever expected to go back that I found the meaning of that strange expression I had been trying to understand in her fnce. Her eyes lighted up with a quick gleam, her hands clenched and her lips parted as she burst out! "'Going back? Of course-I am going back. Do you think I could stay here In peaco and comfort when my country la calling me?' "But jou hae dono your part,' argued her cousin. "Ann turned to her nlmot fiercely. "Joan of Aro didn't do her part until she was burned nt tho stake ; nnd there aro hundreds of Joan of Arcs In France today, thank God! Wo can't do less than she did, If we have to.
