"The Soldier of Fortune" Is the name of a very clever play lo be given In Abbeville Thursday night, by a company of amateurs from Greenwood. The play has been given twice In Greenwood by tbe company with great success, and the mostcomplimeutary criticisms have been I* passed upon the work of the players. The play Is bright and full of humor, presenting many exciting situations. Tl"e entertalurneut will be given under the auspices ol tbe Daughters of the Confederacy, who will spare no pains 10 mane 11 a mui-coh. i Much time and thought. have been spent upon the stage decorations, and every effort will be made to ensure a succe.st.lul presentation of tbe play. The company from Greenwood ask that only their actual expenses be paid, so the entire proceeds of the entertainment will go towards a Confederate monument, which the members of the chapter propose to erect. It Is hoped thut everyone In Abbeville will feel an Interest in tbe cause, and that the players will be greeted with a crowded house. After the performance an informal reception will be given the visitors by the members of the chapter, at the home of the President, Miss Parker.

' A BBEYET BACHELOR. There are more things in the service than brass buttons and dashing calvary-men, and dying at the post of duty, and the rest of the stock phrases of romance. T^ere are a few fixed principles and some prejudices which it is just as well not to run up against, because the service can take revenge upon occasions. Ordinarily a moderate amount of tact and common decency will take you through until you have learned those things which are set down ip neither the dHU-manual nor the regulations. But Miss Hadley had only beauty and pure cheek. She came from somewhere flown the southern way?Los Angeles, or San Diego, or sotiiet|Ling, to visit,.the Strongs at Angel island. And from the moment she fliit toot upon the landing she began tomafee herself unpopu lar. She bad had visions of stepping ashore among a croup of kneeling lieutenants, rather than after the fashion of the accredited paintings of the "Landingof Columbus" or the "Jesuit Fathers." But the lieutenants were busy, or they were taking naps, or sitting on their front porches, with their feet on the railings. They crossed the bay to the city daily, and graced every cotillion and function worth speaking of, and beautiful girls were not new. They had never even heard that Miss Hadley was beautiful. They were in deep darkness concerning the local belles of?wherever it was, down South. However, several of them met her at dinner that night, and the rest called afterwards, as is the custom. Miss Hadley did not know it was the custom. She thought it was all on her own account, and that the post was. beginning to come to its senses, which made her yet more? arrogant. Some dispositions thrive upon being made much of, returning courtsey with good coin; the latent meanness of others warms to life as the snake on the woodcbopper's hearth. As if there svere not enough unattached men to jccupy her, she turned her attention pointedly to La Roche, and when she jaw his wife wince she redoubled her energies. La Roche was French, and flirtatious, and clever. And, whatever else was to be said of Miss Hadley, she was clever, too, in a worldly sort of way. But Mrs. La Roche was stupid, and blushingly aware of her stupidity. Still, she was a good-hearted little thing, and had done a kind turn to everyone in thegarrison atone time or another, and it reseted seeing her made jealously wretched, her pale eyes tilling and her lips quivering, as the beauty drew La Roche to a remote corner and leveled her batteries upon him. Everybody was scandalized? and the feelings of the bachelors were hurt. It was just a little too insolent. So they sought a punishment to tit the crime, and this was what they devised : i There was one man who had not called that first night. It was Proctor, the adjutant. He had been over in the city at a dinner. When he came back by the first boat in tne morning, a deputation met him at the warf ana carried him oft' to his quarters and told him what was expected of him. "I'm not sure that I like the part, though, you know," said Proctor, when they had explained. They impressed upon him that the dignity of the service demanded it?also that it would be very good for the girl. Proctor said it would fall through at once. 'We only want it to last a day or two," said the deputation. , On that undertaking he consented. "But I won't lie. you know," he told them. "You'll have to do any of that." "It won't be necessary," they assured him. "If she asks?which is unlikely?we will say with one accord that yoo are a brevet bachelor." You will not find, the definition of that in the tactica. '> J So Proctor went over to the Strongs' ouarters and found Miss Hadley, got-| ten up in the sort of a morning robe that it i9 not customary to display to the gaze of several hundred soldiers, | more or less, in a corner of the porch with La Roche. Proctor ousted him in about ten minutes. He fought openly dwelling upon the charms of La Roche's four small children, the details of the cunning things they said, and of the last attack of croup o? the youngest, how its "Da-da" had nursed it and how the babies loved him. Miss Hadley laughed. That hurt La Roche's self-esteem, and he went home. Then Proctor started in to do aa he was bid. It was a pleasant game enough. Miss Hadley could be agreeable when she chose. She was the oneman-at-a-time Btamp of girl, and for the once Proctor was the man. He -t stayed all the morotng, aiou ?? luncheon, also all the afternoon. Part of the time they played together on the mandolin and guitar, and for the rest they talked. Then he ctayed to dinner,'and until some time after taps. When offical duties called him off he was back again surprisingly soon. Of course there was the chance in this kind of thing that Miss Hadley might grow sick of him. But be took it. There was the better chance that she would be very much flattered, and Proctor believed that he was the sort <of High Q flia AfliraviAA tUU AJkVft v UIA1VV 3ason advances. Scor< lighter Clothing.

"It's not fair," Mrs. StroDg protested to ber husband. "You'd have thought it so if it had been me instead of La Roche," he suggested. "But it's not fair to Ella," she insisted, weakly. "Ella will think it's a good joke, Tchirh if in. He has written her the whole thing. He told me so." "But id it right of us ? Miss Hadley I is our guest." "Ob, no, she's not; that's a mistake. We are here on sufferance. You are useful to order the meals and I to guard her against intruders on their tete-a-tetes." He reminded her of episodes in proof of this. "HasBhe asked you about him.?" Mrs. Strong wanted to know. He said that she bad. "And I told her that he was a brevet bachelor. Proctor himself came in at the moment aud she dropped it. Now you be still for a day or two and let things take their course." And they took it, at a hand-gallop. x Miss Hadlev might have guessed that one tirst lieutenant could never have afforded all the fancy boxes of flowers and candies that came over for.

Whereupon she was still more disagreeable to everyone else. But the tiny cloud began to float across her blue sky. The flowers and sweets were many and arrived regularly, and when they wanted Proctor at the adjutants office they sent for him to the Strongs'. And yet, though the week of her "visit was drawing to a close, he was no nearer to love-making than upon the first day. She grew a trifle uneasy. It was not that she wanted Proctor, but that the wanted to know she could have bim. So she condescended, in dilemma, to speak to her host. "Mr. Proctor is a desperate flirt, don't you think?" she asked. It was meant to be light, but it was a shade anxious. That would have been Strong' chauce j to have put an end to a joke that was | going too far. It had gotten awayl from them, and the man to stop it re-1 fused to arise. Strong funked. He| looked mean, and eaid that he had never known Proctor to flirt. "He is swather in red tape, as a general thing, has notions of duty and the rest of it." Then he went off and swore at Proctor in his own breast Which is human nature! Proctor for his part swore at everybody else opeuly. "I'm so far in it now that I don't know how to I get out," tie said ; and they grinned | and suggested that he tell the truth j and shame the devii. v "And feel more of a fool than I do | f'DOW." "Consider?you are avenging us,"j cooed the bachelors. He said rude things about them. They asked what he would like them ! to do. "Shall we come in a body the' next time you are en tete-a-tete and i explain, or shall we do it while you j are absent, aud cau't defend yourself?! Anyway you put it you will look aj good dealQfa cad, you know." They j chuckled.'#. Proctor sulked*; "Mrs. Strong has got to do it," jie> announced. "Mjra. Strong won't.

You might draw off gradually." they advised. v 1 "I might make a qualified flat of myself self!" said Proctor; "I've done it, as it is." He departed to keep an engagement to walk around tbe island with Miss Hadley. When they started he made a solemn resolve that before they got to tbe quarantine station she should know all. But she swung into tbe post as blissfully ignorant as she had left it. He had funked again. And at this point Fate came to his aid. They sat on the steps of the Strong's quarters, resting, when an orderly brought a telegram for him, and a box for Miss Hadley. The box contained violets. Proctor was pleased to think what those little attentions were costing the other bachelors, but he glanced at his own card, lying in the purple fragrance, with loathing. Then he opened the telegram, and put it hastily in his pocket. . Miss Hadley asked what it was. He said that it was from some one he had to meet at the train to morrow. "Which traiu ?" said Miss Hadley. "The train from the east," said Proctor. She told him that she, too, was going to the city on the early boat, for a few hours. "We may strike the same one coming back." He thought it would be his unmentionable luck. And it came to pass as Miss Hadley had predicted. They struck the same boat. She came aboard hurriedly, just as the gang-plank was being drawn in, and she looked about for Proctor, calmly, possessively, as though he must, of course, be there. But he was not to be seen. So she stood and talked to a group of post people, as the boat swung out into the bay, and the foggy wind blew stiffly about tnetn. ?ne was not sensitive, yet she was dimly aware that they were civil beyoud their wont; even there seemed a vague sympathy in their manner. But she was busy and abstracted, watching for Proctor. He might be below deck, or in the cabin. At length he appeared, from the other side of the deck, walking with? another girl. The girl glanced at her with a half-smile. She was so pretty that Miss Hadley's lips set, and she forgot what she had been saying. Proctor and the girl strolled to the stern and stood there. Then Proctor caught MiasHadley's amazed eye, and be raised his hat. But she beckoned* It was assurance, to say the very least, but he went to her, leaving the other girl. The group would have been glad to melt away, but some way it couldn't. Then Mi-s Hadley's admirable and perfect cool cheek reached its zenith. "Who is your pretty friend ?" she ask* ** ' ? l? ?-. ?

Then the man in Proctor came to his aid, the realization that it was all everybody else's fault anyway?Miss Hadley's, in particular. He looked at her in stern reproach. "She is my wife, Miss Hadley." The very winds and screw were hushed. In the silence Proctor's eyes began to shift. But Miss Hadley'sj | own were on his facte, and they never i . .Li-,.**.. . .... 1 =? 1 " * chandise TSAOC MAjOr"* ^ flf Shoe / & $3J? f/M 01 f\?% The American >* ^ Woman finds here a . \T54 rnmfnrtuhlc Fashionable, R.
