FOUND IN BRl HSELLH
G^orfeoua lUimmt of Coloaol of Got-
ernor's Staff Adorns Hotel Doorman
Greenville, July 12.—Col. J. Rion
McKisoick, formerly a member of
Governor Manning’s staff, one of the
genial hosts at the recent press con
vention here, has just made a novel
discovery of the whereabouts of a
gorgeous uniform which he wore when
the governor’s staff was called upon
to lend dignity to numerous public af
fairs/ The discovery is another proof
of “it pays to advertise,” though Colo
nel McKissick in this case was not
the advertiser, and, as it developed,
was not bent upon tracing his uni
form. He had forgotten all about it,
as a matter of fact, until the other
day he read a Columbia story to the
effect that an army officer who had ju s t
returned from overseas declared that
he saw a doorman at one of the big
hotels in Brussels wearing a uniform
that was once worn by a member of
the staff of a governor of South Car
olina.
The officer said he was at the hotel
rn Brussels one day when his atten
tion was attracted to the uniform
worn by the doorman. It looked
strangely familiar, being a brilliant
navy blue with a quantity of gold
braid across the front and shoulders,
and having the initials *‘S. C.** on the
collar. Upon closer inspection he
found that every one of the doxen or
more shiny brass buttons on the coat
was adorned by the familiar palmetto
tree
The doorman did not speak English,
so the officer hunted armsnd until he
found an interpreter and then began
to make inquiries Areerdiag to the
story which he was ahir to piece to

Her soldier boy was coming home
and Nlta dreaded the meeting. Of
course she would have to see him and
he would find out her deception. What
would he think of her? How could
she bear that he should look at her?
It had all begun at the girls’ Red
Cross meeting. “Let’s pin our names
and addresses on the Inside of these
socks we are knitting,’’ suggested May
Bond. “Perhaps the soldiers who get
them will wrltt! to us.” x ,
“Good!” cried the other girls.
“Wouldn’t It be fun to get a letter
from a soldier?”
Each girl as she finished a pair of
socks pinned her name on the inside
and they were sent out. After a time
letters began to arrive from the boys
at the front, telling of war experi
ences and of army life. The girls read
them aloud with many comments and
much Interest.
Nlta, In a spirit of fun, had pretend
ed In her letter that she was some
body’s maiden aunt, and wrote In a
motherly strain. She had hardly ex
pected her soldier to write more than
once, but he did. Her letters were
filled with good advice and suggestions
for his health and comfort, and he
seemed to like them.
“There won’t be sny romance for me
out of these letters,** Kite laughed,
“lie thinks I'm so old maid. I doo’t
believe he’ll want to see me when be
comes home, end I'm sore I wouldn’t
want him to. I wonder If he wlabee I
were a girl." she added to bersAf. “Pm
glad he doewo’t know."

“I’m—I’m—Nlta Sjience—" came the
timid Miinwer. Perhapt he would think
the one who wrote the lettera wa* h^t
aunt. If he would only go away.
“My maiden aunt, my mentor," he
laughed merrily. “You look just as I
limu*ined you would."
She gasped, "But—why—how could
you—"
“Don’t you suppose I saw through
your little game?” His smile was
bright and assuming. Do you think
any maiden aunt could write such let
ters as you have been writing to me?
I’ve had your image before me all the
time, and I’ve learned to worship it
I knew your eyes were full of laugh
ter, that your hair was soft and fluffy,
that your lips smiled with “the tiniest
dimples. I could just see the mischief
lurking in the corner of your eye as
you wrote thftse letters. Oh, how
you’ve helped to cheer those long,
toilsome months. How the thought of
you has given me help and courage,
for I knew you were a brave girl, doing
your part at home/’

heart throbbed, and yet she tried to
draw her hand away from him.
“Oh," she faltered, “what must you
think of me?"
“I think you are the deare«t girl In
all the world," he told her, drawing
her hands from her burning face. "1

sort of thing now more than ever be
