Madeleine had frequently seen Ronald when, habited as the soeur de bon secours, she kept nightly vigil by the bed of Maurice, and Ronald had marked the classic features of the "holy sister," and quickly recognized them again when he was presented to Mademoiselle de Gramont. After Mrs. Walton had visited Madeleine, Ronald persuaded her to call with him on Mademoiselle de Merrivale.
"Oh!" exclaimed Paganel. "LA," continued Harry Grant, "continuellement en proie a une cruelle indigence, ils ont jete ce document par 153 degrees de longitude et 37 degrees 11' de latitude. Venes a leur secours, ou ils sont perdus." At the name of Tabor, Paganel had started up hastily, and now being unable to restrain himself longer, he called out: "How can it be Isle Tabor?
"Name of a name!" murmured Henri Marchand. "Au secours! Come, Tom, mon ami to the rescue!" He turned and ran lightly along the hall and down the stairs. But Tom went through the window, almost as precipitately as had Bella Pike herself, and so over the roof of the kitchen ell and down the trumpet-vine trellis. Tom was in the yard and running to the barn before Marchand got out of the kitchen.

But from those districts the war has wrecked, there are hundreds of thousands of women and little children without work, shelter or food.

One dollar from you will for a week keep a woman or child alive.
Au secours!" No voice responded. Cheri's hot tears were scalding her neck. She called for each and every one upon the place, and still no answer came. She shouted, she wailed; but whether her voice remained unheard or unheeded, no reply came to her frenzied cries. And all the while Cheri moaned and wept and entreated to be taken home to his mother. La Folle gave a last despairing look around her.
The light-keeper begged us to make him a visit; but it was necessary to hurry to the end of Bon Secours Bay before night, as a north wind would give us a heavy beam sea.
The shoal water of the approaches to the enterprising cotton port of Mobile make it necessary for large vessels to anchor thirty miles below the city, in a most exposed position. We passed through this fleet, which was discharging its cargo by lighters, and gained in safety the beach in Bon Secours Bay, near Fort Morgan.
It is something frank in detail: Depuis quelque temps j'avais perdu l'appetit et m'endormais de suite quand j'etais assis. Mercredi il me vint un secours de nature par un vomissement extraordinaire. Ces vomissements m'ont dure pendant un jour et une nuit; je ne rendais que de la bile. La nuit passee, je n'en ai pas rendu; dans ce moment, j'en rends encore.
The meeting between Bertha and Maurice was as full of tenderness as though they had been in reality what their strong family resemblance caused them to appear, brother and sister. "No word from Madeleine yet?" was Bertha's first inquiry, hardly an inquiry, for she knew what the answer must be. Then Maurice told her of the soeur de bon secours who had sat by his bed night after night.
