Excerpt from The Lone Furrow The Lady-who-knows was telling me of the four great men who had trailed their signatures up and down this continent in huge enduring letters of steel and masonry and mental monuments, and, after a time, I asked: "But who is the one great man - four are confusing?" She smiled whimsically, and smoothed the folds of her plain dress thoughtfully for a minute. Then she asked, "Are you fond of child stories?" "Yes, " I answered, "but what has that to do with the great point at issue?" With a prelude of the whimsical smile she related this little narrative: "Once upon a time I was visiting in the home of one of these 'Big Four' men. Another visitor was there with a little baby. I think she did not know a great deal about babies. "One night I was wakened by the plaintive wailing of the little one whom I knew had been left to be cared for by the nurse. After a time - it must have been nearly an hour - the shrill little voice was stilled, and I was just dropping off to sleep when sister Barbara came to my room, touched me on the arm, and beckoned me with forefinger, and in silence, to rise and follow her.
