Bill stared at the man wide-eyed. "Fronte McKim?" he cried. "Aye, Fronte McKim! As sh'u'd 'a' been gineral av all Oirland, England, an' Injia.

Joan's sobs began to diminish, and she presently looked up at the old man through her tears, and said, in her simple way: "Yes, that will do if it will clear you."
