Publisher's Note
This story in its original form appeared in =The Little Colonel's Hero=,
the fourth volume in the famous =Little Colonel Series=.
The publishers would have appropriately used on the cover of this book
the Red Cross on a white field, adopted as its emblem by the Red Cross
Society, but any use of that emblem for purposes other than those of
this society has been prohibited by law.
The Red Cross Society adopted its emblem in honor of Switzerland,
where the society originated, but reversed the colors of the Swiss flag,
which are a White Cross on a red field. It is consequently, under the
circumstances, appropriate that the cover design should show the White
Cross of Switzerland, where the Red Cross Society originated, and
where its story was told to =The Little Colonel=.
