"But you--you will be glad of a rest for a time, I should think!" "I want to get my cousin back," said Fred.

"It was hard to leave him." "It was the only thing to do.

You saved his life as well as your own by going.

And one who saves a Suvaroff does a fine thing for Russia in these days--if this Boris is like the rest of the breed." "Oh, we have never known!" said Fred, suddenly remembering.

"Did General Suvaroff get back safely after he failed to catch General von Hindenburg ?" "He did! He had less than a thousand men, and he rode for sixty miles or more through a whole German army! He was intercepted but when he found a German brigade lined up in his path, instead of trying to circle around it, and so giving the Germans time to surround him, he cut right through it!" answered the officer, smiling.
"That was splendid!" "I don't think the war will show anything better!" said the Russian, with enthusiasm.
