I did not propose to fall where all my enemies could set and gloat over me, so I turned my face toward the country. I walked a long distance, goaded on like a V. Wounded dog by the feeling that I must find some hole where I could hide myself and die. At last I fell exhausted. When .1 regained consciousness, I was lying -.-.n a soft, white bed, my arm was in a bandage and a. manand a woman wen talking in the room. I don’t knovi how long I lay there.
