Doran Company Copyright, 1915, by George H. Doran Company TO THE MEMORY OF LOUIS KOSSUTH What would you have said now--O patriot and selfless hero--had you lived to see the country which you loved so well, for whose liberty and national dignity you fought with such unswerving devotion--what would you say, could you see her now--tied to Austria's chariot wheel, the catspaw and the tool of that Teutonic race which you abhorred? Thank God you were spared the sight which surely would have broken your heart! You never lived to see your country free. Alas! no man for many generations to come will see that now. The Magyar peasant lad--upon the vast, mysterious plains of his native soil--will alone continue to dream of national liberty, of religious and political freedom, and vaguely hope that some day another Louis Kossuth will arise again and restore to him and to his race that sense of dignity, of justice and of right which the Teuton has striven for centuries to crush. EMMUSKA ORCZY. Snowfield, Bearsted, Kent. CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE I. "GOD BLESS THEM ALL! THEY ARE GOOD LADS." 9 II. "MONEY WON'T BUY EVER
