XIII. MARIE THE COURAGEOUS

XIV. CONCLUSION





AUTHOR'S NOTE


While the Author cannot personally vouch for the stories related in
this volume, she has full confidence in the sources of her
information--men who have seen and heard on the battlefields of
France, and who have related to her these and many other like
incidents illustrating the heroism of the Children of France. Some of
the stories the relators have learned through personal observation,
while others have come to them indirectly. The author, therefore,
believes each story set down here to be authentic, and so offers them
to the liberty-loving boys and girls of America.
