"The only intimate friend he had in the world," answered Dr. Rowell; "none of us could ever understand it. And as for the girl, Jethro Bass worships her." "If nursing could cure him, I'd trust her to do it. She's a natural-born nurse."
Through all his troubles, he held grimly to the ideal which meant more to him than ease and comfort, that he had served his country for the love of it. With the warm weather he was able to be about again, and occasionally to mend a harness, but Doctor Rowell shook his head when Jethro stopped his buggy in the road one day to inquire about Ephraim. Whereupon Jethro went on to the harness shop.

"Right you are." cried Bert, with enthusiasm. "I'll stand by you as long as the spots stay on the cards." In the gray morning, when most of the others had left and even Mellish himself was yawning, they were still at it.

The famous Michael O'Leary, V.C., was one of the North-West Mounted Police, and he set a standard for courage and bravery during the early days of the war which many other gallant soldiers have since emulated.
N. W. Rowell, the Liberal leader, pledged the support of his party in a non-partisan measure but in vain. In 1912 Mrs. Denison secured for a deputation an interview with Sir Robert L. Borden, Prime Minister of Canada, to ask that the Dominion Parliament should grant a national franchise to women.
