Dramatic Surprises.

Strange meetings occur often enough In war hospitals. Several medical officers have found their brothers among their patients. A certain territorial battalion had two medical officers in peace tftne, of whom the senior went abroad with the unit. In course of time the colonel fell sick, and was brought down to a base hospital, where he passed directly into the charge of his junior medical officer without any prearrangement whatever. A patient who had served for several months in France was lying in a double-bedded room. Suddenly, and rather to his annoyance, a stable companion was given to him in the middle of the night, who proved in the morning to be his brother, recently arrived from Gallipoli.
