TETEEIflNDrLEBK It was nearly noon at a western fort With a “mixed garrison,” and the morn* tag drill and reading of the mail having been gone throngh with, everybody was wailing for something to break the over* lasting monotony. Lien tenant Toney Rocker came out “of the rookery known an the bachelors' quarters and started jauntily down the officers’ line, bearing In his hand a kite constructed on the most approved plan as rememborod by him, and in building which ho had awakened many fond memories of “kite time,” to which, as a boy, he had looked forward with happy anticipation each wiy humwIluMr^miwiiaW-^y the abundant supply of small boys from the officers’ quarters, all of whom were anxious for the kite. Bo picked ont young Arthur because the boy was so fond of sport aud never cried when thrown from his pony, but young Smart, of the cavalry, lounging on the bachelors* pioxxa, stirred up “Mr." Dawdle, of the infantry, by remarking, “You will g? t left, Plebe, for there goes Toney boot licking that boy again, and ho is sure of on invitation to tea, and you know what that means.’* Hamgr was the captain's son, end tbo captain's wife had a young lady sis ter visiting her, whom Toney had al ready escorted for a ride On a troop hone, much to the disgust of Mr. Daw dle, who received a sweet good by from tady, bat was furious at the of **8o long.

Toney, who was possllag his mtnd os h* could get more kilo tail it tssring up his only extra i»dr of ohesl*, looked up and remarked, ••Well, old mao. what do you know about kites, snjwsyV Now Major Stuffy had always been eery partial to Toney, and showed It by always joking with him. while swelling with 111 Attlug dignity tu his intercourm with all the snbatterns. The old gentle man’s nerves had lawn a little shaken for a few days because the infantry colonel and the brwet major ^ commanding the post—“one of those detuned volunteers, you know"—had added Insult to Injury by eonding him an order not to drive any more govern ment homes in his private conveyance. Toney's light ami airy remark upset the major completely, aud he was on lbs point of venting his rage on him, when who of all others should corns strolling gut but the commanding officer himself. U# who had won his stars for bravery and conspicuous services from Pesry- ville to Reeaca certainly ought to know all about kites. The excitement on the parade was too much for the old gentleman, and dis missing bis orderly to dinner, he raised his sun umbrella and remarked to his excellent spouse, “1 will go aud show them how to put np a kite." The very idea seemed to make him young again, and he threw out his chest and squared his shoulders ns if ho were going to take n new lease of life. He joined the group around the kite and Major bluffy braced himself pompously and saluted with an air which plainly said, “i'll stand me ground, be gad, sir!” “How do you do, Mr. Rucker?" said tl»e genera, blandly. “1 see that your kite don’t work rigid, and"—— •it will bo all right *iu a moment, oir. 1 have sent to the troop tailor for more tail” “But, Mr. Rucker, whenl waa_a hoy" (he retires for old age next year) “we never made long tails; yon just split the pieces you have aud tie some knots in them. Then shorten up the bridle and make her stand so” “Just whut 1 told the general,” said the major eagerly; “and lie insulted me. «r! Yea, sir, 4his young fellow that has not been in the service ten years, dr, aeked me what did i know about kites, sirr Now Major Stuffy had been avoiding the general over since he had received the communicmtiMi about the horses and had even declined Invitations to sev eral garrison affairs for fear of meeting liim, but he was greatly soothed when the general turned andjiaid: , “Why, major, 1 am astonished, sir! Mr. Rucker, what do you mean, sir, by speaking to Major Stuffy in this way, air! An old man and valued officer of your regiment, too, sirl ^jjriD sot allow such things in my garrison, oirt” “But, general. 1 did Oot intend to hnrt the major’s fading* I gi**s I don't know mm-h about kiu« anyway, boys, oo you take it out behind the barracks usd fly it to Suit yourselves," said Too*/. In • hopolms kind of way. *•11 wi> not go ap unless jpoc by lii* who The and ths hoys loft the two old alone on the parade, and tbo whole gar rison was qnjoying their dilemma. The general hemmed and hawed a moment and said: “By the way, major, about that horse order; you know these young lieuten ants have an idea that they can noe am bulances and government animals when ever they choose, and I am determined jo teach ihem * laswnfi,. Of courso 1 did not intend the order to hold in your case; some consideration must be shown to long and valuable service, sir, and I want yon to understand this matter.” Major StnlTy extended his hand warm ly to the general and said: “1 am glad you mentioned it, general; but of course 1 understood the matter perfectly. These young snips are too presumptuous anyway, and think they are entitled to all the consideration doe old officers.’* * $' One of these “young snips” WM jtruf- gling to pay up the bills contracted when his daughter was married, aud another was incessantly engaged in short division in the effort to provide fat the wants of his four boys. The two veterans strolled away to- followed by several officers from the row, who were interested "in the recon ciliation. As the major threw open the door and followed the general in he smiled benignantly on the old habitues and said, “Corns, gentleman, join ns hi a bottle of wine." Of course the invita tion was accepted, for since the major had quit going on little “frolic*," os he called them, in deference to the temper ance Ideas of the young snips, all recog nized this as some special occasion. The major busied himself seeing that “Tube” neglected no one, and talked in ths most amiable way about the magnificent w«*aiher aud tine post the geoecnl had built up. “This reminds me of old days In Tsjum, gentlemen, when the dragoons"— hs wo* esylng when his Loyal Ix'gloo bnt- too fell off end rolled late s convenient knothole under the billiard table.
