Wo were sitting alone in the twilight
leisurely pulling at our cigars when one
of the hospital nurses came out and
whispered to the doctor that Sailor
John was “agoin.” The passing away
of a mortal is an event about which
ihoro is always somethiug of tho mys

long corridor and entered NVard 12.
Tlio nurse was right. John was
'‘again.’’ Like an alto rolioro, out of
