Whatever maybe said about the wisdom of the arrangement, in scrupulously observing the terms of it, Major Dugas acted like a gentleman and a man of honor. That he should be blamed for honoring his own pledged word proves how crude is the common code of ethics. Major Dugas ordered the suspension of operations.
M. Dugas told them that he would examine their petition, and give them an early answer. The bakers retired, having first left upon the table a purse of two hundred louis d'ors. In a few days the bakers called upon the magistrate for an answer, not in the least doubting but that the money had effectually pleaded their cause.
Madame Dugas is an infirmière major, and over her white linen veil flowed one of bright blue, transparent and fine. She wore the usual white linen uniform with the red cross on her breast, but back from her shoulders as she walked through the streets with us streamed a long dark blue cloak.
Nuns were also nursing those still in the wards, for nurses are none too plentiful in France even yet, and Madame Dugas had stipulated for the nuns as well as for the convent. It was a southern summer day. The grass was green. The ancient trees were heavy with leaves. Younger and more graceful trees drooped from the terrace above a high wall in the rear. The sky was blue.
I give you my word," Donald replied. "Well, good-bye." "Good-bye, sir." Thus ended the memorable interview. Major Dugas drove back to Stornaway in disgust. He ordered the resumption of the search, and upon the following morning left for Montreal. Donald's friends were greatly disappointed. They fully expected that he would surrender himself to Major Dugas.

Louisiana had no State organization for woman suffrage when in March, 1913, Mrs.
Curiously enough, the next woman whose work has made her notable, that Madame Goujon took me to see, was very much like Madame Dugas in appearance, certainly of the same type. Val de Grace is the oldest military hospital in Paris. It covers several acres and was begun by Louis XIII and finished by Napoleon.
The police visited his father's house, broke open his trunk, and took away all his letters, including poor Minnie's correspondence an act which, when Donald knew of it, caused him to declare with an oath that if he met the man who did it, he would shoot him down like a dog. Major Dugas was disgusted. He had been in the district nearly three weeks. He had tried conciliation. That had failed.
He quotes from two Judges, Dugas and Craig, both widely known and respected, who affirm that law is enforced there as well as anywhere else, and that there are few cities where men and women can go about at any hour as freely and safely as in Dawson.
The officers, the soldiers, looked happy, the nuns placid. It was an oasis in the desert of war. I leave obvious ruminations to the reader. When I met Madame Dugas, once more I wondered if all Frenchwomen who were serving or sorrowing were really beautiful or if it were but one more instance of the triumph of clothes.
