But the time had come for them to part again and he held her hand which trembled in his while he saw the tear-drops glisten in her eyes. He knew there were several in his own. “Have courage, dearest,” he whispered. “The war will soon be over and then I will come to you, loving and trusting.” She tried to speak in vain, but when his lips pressed hers they felt the thrill of love’s sweet kiss. “Till we meet again, darling, be of good cheer.” “Be careful of yourself, for my sake; and remember me to Harry.” * * * * * [Kind readers we will bid you adieu for a short time, when we will continue this thrilling story under the title of “Under Two Flags,” and will follow the fortunes of all the characters through the various scenes through which they passed.
