With a sad smile, Hogan advanced, and set his hand affectionately upon Galliard's shoulder. "Welcome to France, Crispin," said he. "If not him whom you looked to find, you have at least a loyal friend to greet you." "Hogan!" gasped the knight. "What make you here? How came you here? Where is Jocelyn?" The Irishman looked at him gravely for a moment, then sighed and sank down upon a chair.
"I would not send him away with a heartache." "Would to Heaven it had been you, Belle!" replied Mildred dejectedly. "I can't help it I'm made so, and none will know it better than he." "Don't feel that way," remonstrated Mrs. Jocelyn; "time and the thought of what Roger can do for us will work great changes. You have years before you. If he will help us save your father "
