The Gruff Old Soldier Conquered
In Spite of Himself.
By SUSAN H. ENDICOTT.
[Copyright. 1909. by Associated Literary
Press.]
Major James Godfrey. D. S. A., re
tired and living in his own villa with
wife and daughter, had several fads
and fancies to koop the family and the
neighbors busy, but one particular fad
was destined to get him into trouble
sooner or later.
He could read in his morning paper
. with the greatest equanimity of mur
ders, robberies, assaults, thefts and
burnings at the stake, but when he
came across au item about a masher
he fired up at once and shouted out
that he would give $500 out of his own
pocket to see the scoundrel lynched or
sent to prisou for life.
Ills daughter used to look at him in
wonder when he broke out in this
fashion, while the wife was discreet
ly sileut. Perhaps the latter had tllrt
ed a bit before giving her heart to the
major and he was remembering it in
his old age.
For. three months Miss Kate had
wanted to attend an art school in the
city and receive instructions. During
those three months there happened to
be au unusual number of "mashes" re
corded in the papers, and the father
would uot hear of her even renning up
to town to do a little shopping unless
he or the mother went along. He
was as firm as the rock of Gibraltar.
After a time, however, the record be
gan to peter out. and as be was pleas
ed with what his daughter had already
done with the brush and had hopes of
her future the major finally gave his
consent. It was only eight miles to
the city, and then a street car would
take her right to the doors of the
school. All she had to do. going and
coming, as the father told her over and
over, was to keep her eyes cast down
and her purse clutched tightly lu her
baud.
Unknown to her. he took the same
train to the city with her for "a week,
and theu. as nothing happened and his
rh?umatism got worse, he left her to
make her way alone.
Two weeks had passed when Miss
Kate came home one afternoon lu a
flutter. Her mother happeued to be
out. and she must tell some one. She
therefore related to the father that
while on the street car en route to the
depot and home some thief had snip
ped the ehnin of her purse afld borne
the prize away. The prize held her
return ticket and a dime.
At the depot she found her tears
falliug. but a good Samaritan had
come forward and handed her change
enough for the fare. She couldn't ex
actly say whether he was a grand
father or a young man, homely or good
looking. He had spoken ouly a few
words and lifted his hat and retired.
It might have been a white hat or a
black "one?she could not tell. Obey
ing her father, she had kept her eyes
on the floor, and they were filled with
tears besides.
The major heard the story to the
end, and then he roared. The man
who had taken pity on her financial
condition at the depot was a masher,
of course. He had followed her home
on the train. He would meet her
again and make the matter au excuse
for addressing her.
He wns no grandfather, but a young
man and no doubt a professional
masher. Miss Kate should have re
pulsed him with scorn. She should
have had him arrested. She should
have hired a truck to bring her home
or walked If all the trucks wore busy.
For a quarter of an hour he scolded
and growled and then wound up by
laying that the art school business
wus at au end. She could attend no
more. He would sit on the front ve
randa witii a shotgun across bis knees,
and If that plotting masher even
passed the house he should carry
away buckshot. Tears were shed and
loving appeals made. lutt the rock of
Gibraltar was riebt there.
Two weeks passed, and the masher
did not appear. At least the major did
uot fire Upen any of the young men
driving or walking on the highway.
The daughter felt that the stranger
bad been actuated by the kindest mo
tives. He had spoken just enough?
not a word more. Ho had not offered
bis card. The fare was only '27> cents,
but she felt ashamed that she could
not return it. Had opportunity offered
Tor a second meeting sie- would have
insisted on * I?? i i?ir so.
Two weeks passed away, and then I
the mother went ro the city to do a
little shopping. She also came home
with a tale to tell. She thought she
was telling it to her daughter alone,
but It so happened that the major was
>ist outside the window and heard i
every word. She had tin is lied her j

she realized that she had spent all her I
noney. A good Samaritan came for- !

that was all.
Put Mrs. Major Godfrey's eyes had J
not been ft I led with tears and rust i
down. She had seen that he was a !
gentlemanly looking young man or'
twenty-five and that he look the same
train an she did and evidently lived
farther down the line. Then Miss
Kate thought she remembered lhat 111

she bad made out the same sort of
man.
'i bis decision had just boeu arrived
at when th<? roleo of the major ?-m
Everyone would be benefited by i
??ahing Foley's Orine Laxative for j
e-tomach and liver trouble and habit- j

heard in the land. It was heard as It
had not been beard since he led a
charge In battle. He stunned at the
two poor females until they were help
less with terror. A masher had ap
peared to break up his family, and his
family were willing to be broken.
Such carryings on might do for Africa,
but this was America, and he wouldn't
stand for them.
He talked the women upstairs, and
he talked the cook out of the house,
nud the good Samaritan was responsi
ble for a very bad night.
It was three days Inter, and things
had settled down a bit, when the ma
jor announced that tu1 had to go to the
city ou a business matter. There was
another reason, bur be kept it to him
self. He wanted t?> meet that masher
and make jam of him. Ke felt that he
could identify him among' hundreds,
und once he was Identified?
Ou arriving in the city the man of
war called ou a broker and pocketed
some bonds he had Invested in and
then made calls at three different clubs
to see old friends and drink cocktails
to "auld lang syne." W hen ready to
start for the depot and home he was
in the condition known as mellow. He
thought everybody a good fellow, and
he thought every good fellow an old
veteran, and thus when a particularly
keen looking good fellow asked him
into a barroom od his way to drink to
Old Glory there was no hesitation.
The major will remember to his dy
ing day that be took brandy. He was
drinking the last of It when he felt
sleepy and the voice of the good fel
low sounded far oft*. When he came
to his senses again he was in bed at a
hotel and a medical looking man was
saying to a young man who didn't look
medical at all:
"He'll do now. but there was a time
wher it was doubtful. He must have
got an awful do.se."
"Knockout drops, of course?"
"Oh. of course. Lucky for him he
has a stroug heart. He'll be nearly
all rl-rht in the morning, but if you
can spare the time you'd bettor see
him home. He'll be trembly for two
or three days."
The major heard that much and won
dered and slept. He awoke again at
midnight and sat up in bed to see a
young man beside him. He got a dose
of medicine, and then he suddenly ex
claimed:
"Here?what's all this? Where am
I?"
"Don't excite yourself, major."
soothed the other. "You .?re at the
Revere hotel and very much better
than you wore three hours ago. Sleep
and quietness are what you need now.
In the morning you shall learn all."
"But my bonds?my bonds!" shouted
the patient.
"Right there before you on the stand,
with your watch ami pin?not a thing
missing."
At daylight, when the man of Mars
swung his legs out of bed. the young
man sat by the window smoking and
smiliug. He advanced and presented
his card and observed that he had the
honor of already knowing the major's
name.
"Now, then, what's this all about?
And whore's my wife and daughter?"
was demanded sharply as the patient
reached his feet to tind himself so
weak that he had to fall back on the
bed.
"I beg pardon, major, but as you
were on your way to the depot yester
day afternoou you met au old soldier
and drank with him. He was a con
fidence man. I entered the plac* Just
as the knockout drops had put you
into his hands. You lost nothing, and
I brought you here and called a doc
tor. You are pretty near all right
uow. but I shall see you home after
we have had something to eat. Dou't
object, please. You are weak and diz
zy yet."
The Idea that he had been a ninny
grueled the major, but he was too
weak to shout. He wanted to. think,
but his brain was too sluggish. Be
was, therefore, like a baby hi the
hands of the other for awhile. Strong
coffee and a bite to eat and the ride
to the depot braced him up. and as
the train started he suddeuly exclaim
ed:
"Good Lord, but what could they
have thought of my not coining home
last night?"
"Oh. I telepboued them from the ho
tel." was the answer.
"But?but? See here, young Man.
how did you know where to telephone
to? By jiiuiny. sir, are you the mash

"Well, major," said the other, "to

chance to speak to you and introduce
myself properly When I saw you ac

A Wild Ride and What Happened
to the Culprit.
By AM ELI E DELANCEY.
ICopyright, 1909, by Associated Literary
Press. J
For six months the Widow Peurose
had been planning an addition to her
country residence, but absence and a
rush of orders had prevented her
nephew. Gordon Gordou. from running
down and taking the work in hand.
Finally he appeared lu his auto,
driven by himself, and the machine
was left at the gate. It had rested
there less than half an hour when
along came three young ladies with
fish poles on their shoulders and one
poor little tish to show that they bad
uot visited the lake In vuiu that fore
noon.
The sight of an auto was more
familiar to them than that of a car
riage. They were residents of the city
and friends at home and were sum
mering at good Aunt Mary's boarding
house..a quarter of a mile away.
"An auto!" they cried in chorus as
they came to a bait
"And the owner is in the house!"
"And we cau take a ride without his
knowing it!"
"Yes. but uoue of us cau run it."
"Girls," said Miss Dorothy Flint,
with whom this story has mostly to
do. "I have ridden in autOS so many
times that 1 believe 1 could run one.
Yes, 1 know 1 could. It's just like
steering a boat after you get started.
I believe you turn the crank in front
first. That Ignites the spark or some
thing. Then, after you get in, you pull
this lever back, and away she goes. I
think the auto belongs to a doctor.
Doctors are always good hearted men.
and I'm sure this one won't begrudge
us a,little spin. Get in."
But the command was In vain. They
hadn't conlidence in her experience
and skill as a chauffeur. If she conld
run an auto, why not drive the ma
chine to the lake and back? She hesi
tated and was jeered at. She made an
If to turn away and was "dared."
? Perhaps Miss Dorothy's grandfather
was one of those who fell at Lexington
or lay wounded on the field of Bunker
II111. At any rate, the "dare" had
hardly been dured when she was at
the crauk, and us soon as the whizzing
noise came to prove that the dead ma
chine had come to life she climbed lu
and gave It a st:?xt.
She went off with a whew and had
not covered a hundred feet when she
wished she bad not gone at all. But it
was too late. There were a dozen "Oh.
mys!" behind her, and she forgot ev
erything but holdiug the wheel with a
grip of death.
If she had ever heard that an auto
could be stopped she forgot it now. It
was a hard, wide road, and she was
out of sight in three minutes.
The other two girls stood there with
mouths and eyes wide open nnd fcel
iug helpless even to scream out when
a young man came ?oavu from the
house, raised his hat, looked around
and luquired somewhat anxiously:
"Have you seen a stray auto round
here?"
"It's run away." answered one after
a moment.
"With a g-gurl," added the other as
the tears came to her eyes.
"What! Do you mean that some girl
is driving my auto up or down the
highway without my permission?"
"Y-yes!"
"And who is she. may I inqulre7"
"A Miss Flint."
"Well. Miss Flint has nerve. Is ehe
used to driving autos?"
"We?we guess so. but sbo seemed
scared when she started off. Wou't
you ruu after her, sir? You sec, we
dared her to."
"And she wouldn't take a dare?
Well, there's a $4,000 auto gone to
wreck and a girl lying somewhere be
side tho road with a broken neck.
Run after her! Why, she may be fif
teen miles away by this time! now
could she be so foolish!"
"But If she is d-dead. sir. some one
must bring home her?her mangled re
mains!" said one of the girls as both
broke dowu and wept.
"Well, 1 believe there's a saddle
horse in the stable, and I'll set out in
pursuit. Young ladies, let this be a
solemn warning <o you?very solemn."
Ho wus a young man of two or
three and twenty and did not look a
bit like a doctor. Besides, he was uot
a stranger to the house from which he
had emerged. He tried to look very
dignified and serious as lie uttered his
warning, but It was a failure. Any
young mau of that age would have
made a failure of It.
Even though the girls were tearful
and anxious as they walked along
home they agreed titteringly that he
didn't look a bit solemn.
lie brought out the horse as soou as
possible and galloped a Way, but at the
lake the highway forked. There were
three diverging roads, and he must

right oik.-. He had galloped down the
left baud one for three miles before a
farmer replied to his bail:
"No; haven't seen no gal scootia'

hour If I had I should have Hung a
rock after her. Beats all how different
the gals of this age are from those of
forty years ago. Why. when my wife
was a gal"?
But the pursuer waited to hear do
more. He returned lu the lake and.
finding the right Ir.iml road a little
better lIlRU the middle oiie, took it
und galloped ahead. When be bud gone

ried. "No; I don't think I've seen 'era.
Might have seen 'em, but if so it has
slipped my mind. What was the color
of the gal's hair?"
"But you have' either seen them or
not!" exclaimed the young man petu
lantly.
"That's so?that's so. Waal. I guess
they took the other road. That Is.
they did if they didn't take to the
fields. Think it's goin' to rain this
week?"
By the time young Gordon had re
turned to the lake his horse was In a
lather, and he decided to go back to \
his auut's in the hope that the auto
might also have returned. His hope
was vain. The horse was leg weary,
and the rider entered the bouse and
called up a farmer on the niiddle road
four miles away.
"A gal and au auto?" repented the
man at the other end of the line. "You
bet your boots I've seen 'em! Went by
here three hours ago like a whirlwind.
Struck one of my hogs lyhY In the
road and knocked him a hundred feet.
Whew, but that old machine was glid
In' some!"
"And the girl herself?did she seem
frightened?"
"Scared most to death, I guess. Her
eyes seemed to be hangln' out, aud
maybe she was prayln*. She was hold
in' the machine In the middle of the
road, however. If she lives to get to
the Red bridge she'll be stopped there
by the constable. He's stationed there
to look for speeders."
The girl who "dared" lived to reach
the bridge. It was an act of Provi
dence. From the moment the onto got
Its speed, which was thirty miles an
hour, she was dumb, frozen and help
less to do anything but hold the wheel.
She saw nothing but the white road
ahead of her. She passed vehicles and
overhauled others, hut she was scarce
ly conscious of it. As she approached
the bridge the strain was too much,
and her fingers anciutched from the
wheel, and the auto dashed Its way
through the roadside fence and came
to n standstill In a field. Then Miss
Flint fainted away.
When she came to her senses the
constable was sprinkling waler in her
face and saying:
"Come, now. none of your tricks with
me. You are just playing possum he
cause I have caught you. It's a case
for Squire Johnson, and I shouldn't
wonder If you got jail for It."
"What?what are you going to do?"
asked the girl as she staggered to her
feet.
"Put you in the village lockup and
notify the squire, of course. Take my
arm and come along. The machine is
pretty well busted, and we can't use
it. Wonder It didn't blow up and
send you sky high. Were you eloping
or something of that kind?"
"I?1 was just taking a ride," was
the humble answer.
"Just making the dirt fly thirty feet
high and scaring folks and horses half
to death. Well, the squire will be
tickled to see you. He's been aching
for the last week to get hold of a
speeder and give him a good ?ose of
county Jail. How dare you take the
chances?how dare you!"
"Would you taLe a dare from two
girls?" asked the prisoner as she re
leased her arm and faced him.
"No-o-o. 1 guess not."
"Well, L wouldn't, and so there! If
they want to send me to Jail let 'em
do It!"
She was taken to the office of the
village justice of the ponce and ar
raigned. On the way there the con
stable's heart melted. He saw that
she had had a bad scare, and he liked
her defiant spirit. Therefore, while he
had to make complaint against her,
he did not put the speed at thirty
miles an hour. To this he added the
statement that if the auto hadn't
struck a stone in the road it would
uot have struck the fence.
Then he turned and winked at the
wondering, shivering girl to put heart
in her.
It may have been one of his honor's
soft days, no delivered a lecture on
the rise and fall of the Roman empire
or some other equally interesting sub
ject and concluded by suspending sen
tence. Then the constable invited the
ex-prisoner home with him to dinner
and set about arranging to ser.d her
back to her friends.
Evening had come, arid sho was
about ready to start when Gordon
came galloping up. When he had In
troduced himself as the owner of the
smashed auto he asked grimly:
"And who is to pay the $500 dam
ages? And who Is to pay for my trou
ble? Why, If the Justice had known
all the circumstances he'd have sent
you to jail for a year!"
"But the other girls dared mo to do
it!" protested the culprit, with trem
bling lip.
"Say. young man." said the consta
ble as he drew Gordon aside, "you Just
get even by daring the gal to mam
yon. She ain't the kind that takes a
dare. See? You can drive her hack In
the buggy, and yo;i just keep daring
her all the way. Lord, but I wish I
was In your shoes!"
It was a flue moonlight ride. It was
not too fast. The situation was a little
strained at first. Im I after awhile the
farmers heard laughter ns the buggy
passed.
I'erhaps there was one dare, perhaps
a dozen. The society paper which an

later didn't specify. Society papers
