To the friends of Belgian Children-- PREFACE In this sad hour of the world's history, when so many homes have been broken up, and so many hearts burdened with heavy sorrows, it is comforting to think of the many heroic souls who, throughout the struggle, have gone about their daily tasks with unfailing courage and cheerfulness, and by so doing have helped to carry the burdens of the world, and to sustain other hearts as heavy as their own. It is comforting, also, to know that there are many instances of happy reunions after long and unspeakable anxieties, adventures, and trials. This story of two little Belgian refugees is based upon the actual experience of two Belgian children, and the incident of the locket is quite true. The characters of the eel-woman and the mother of the Twins have also their living originals, from whose courage and devotion the author has received much inspiration. CONTENTS I. THE HARVEST-FIELD II. THE RUMORS III. THE ALARM IV. "FOR KING, FOR LAW AND LIBERTY" V. DOING A MAN'S WORK VI. AT THE CHURCH VII. THE TIDAL WAVE OF GERMANS VIII. GRANNY AND THE EELS I
