I have never seen, but I like to think of the quiet room in London,
where she lies to-day in the white beauty of her age. Nearly ninety
years have passed since the little girl-baby woke to life among the
blossoms of the City of Flowers; more than half a century has gone by
since the Lady with the Lamp passed like light along the corridors of
the Barrack Hospital; yet still Florence Nightingale lives and loves,
still her thoughts go out in tenderness and compassion toward all who
are "in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity."
Let us think of that quiet room as one of the holy places of the earth;
let us think of her, and take our leave of her, with loving and thankful
hearts.
THE END.

TWO GOOD NOVELS.
=Cy Whittaker's Place.=
A Novel of Cape Cod Life, by Joseph C. Lincoln, Author of "Mr. Pratt,"
"Cap'n Eri," etc. 27 illustrations by Wallace Morgan, colored inlay on
cover. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
Cape Cod life, as pictured by Joseph C. Lincoln, is delightful in
its homeliness, its wholesomeness, its quaint simplicity. The plot
of this novel revolves around a little girl whom an old bachelor,
Cy Whittaker, adopts. Her education is too stupendous a task for
the old man to attempt alone, so he calls in two old cronies and
they form a "Board of Strategy." A dramatic story of unusual merit
then develops, and through it all runs that rich vein of humor
which has won for the author a fixed place in the hearts of
thousands of readers. Cy Whittaker is the David Harum of Cape Cod.
=The Whispering Man.=
