The Red Cross Hospital Winona received constant letters from Percy in the trenches "somewhere in France," all, of course, carefully censored.

They had arranged a cryptogram before he left England, however, and by its aid he was able to tell her the name of the place near which he was fighting.

It was a tremendous excitement for her when his letters arrived to fetch her key to the cryptogram and reckon out the magic little word that let her know his whereabouts.

She would find the spot on the big war-map that hung in the dining-room and would mark it with a miniature flag, feeling in closer touch with him now she knew exactly where he was located.

She kept a special album in which she placed photos of him in khaki, all his letters and postcards, and any newspaper cuttings that concerned his regiment.
