He will not look at her, for her beanty

passionate love and longing. He has
worshiped her, adored her as loyal knight
might worship his queen of love and
beauty. Down in his heart of hearts her
image has lived through every instant of
the fierce campaign and reign* there
now, rebel against it as he may Her
silence daunt* him. If he had thought
to pique or trap her into questioning, it
was unworthy of his love and her Her
little hands are clasping now. She has
started, raised her head, is listening in
tently. Absorbed only in her, in his
love, in his wrongs, Brewster has lost all
ear for the thrilling, martial music
growing fainter and fainter down the
street, bat the look in her sweet face
startles him. Tbs color has fled. The
dark eyes are dilating. One little hand
is uplifted, as if to'ward off any other
sonnd. Boms on the night wind the
strains come full and rich upon the ear
No wonder the girl is silenced, stunned
Oh, for the clasping mother's arm* nowl
Oh, for the love, the wordless sympathy
that was hers that cflld, gray wintry
morning when the battalion with its
loved ones strode buoyantly away down
the winding road at Pawnee! All the
heart breaking sorrow, all the vague,
throbbing, quivering pain, come back to
her again aa now she leans breathless
against the casement listening to the
same sad, sweet, tearful old song:
Love not. lor* not, fe haptens anna of elarl
One instant only she stands trembling
there, then a great sob surges op in her
throat, and, burying her face in her
hands, she bursts away, she runs she
knows not whither. Ont into the de
serted corridor, along the carpeted aisle
she speeds. Then to her left, wide open,
brightly lighted, she spies the elevator,
and, with the leap of hnnted hare to its
form, she springs within. Noonethere.

blessing the fates that had carried off
the attendant for a surreptitious look at
the departing regiment. With qnick de
cision Curly pulls the starting rope, and
when the car has glided softly upward
just half way to the uezt floor checks its
motion, then spring* to her side. Never
till that instant had he known the full
misery of a crippled and useless arm.
"Winifred, sweet one, listen!” he cries
seizing a slender wrist and strivtug to
draw her hand away, as. sobbing, she
crouches in the comer of the cage, while
his brave young heart is thumping wilh
a joy and exultation it never knew be
fore. His blue eyes are aflame with
love and gladness.
“Listenl Don’t cry sol 1 must tell
you.”
B-r-r-r-ring! goes the confounded ele
vator bell She springs to her feet, sti
fling her sobs, conquering her womanly
weakness.
“Oh, do let me out!” she cVies dash
ing away the tears.
“I won't,” be answers, with such a
joyous, teasing triumph in his deep
tones. "Though a million men a min
nte ring that bell. Til never let you go
now—never. Yon cruel, wicked, heart
less girl, you sent me away"
“Oh, do let me ont, Mr. Brewsterf
sherpleads. “Indeed you muat. |K r

"You sent me away," he calmly con
tinues, while his eyes dance and glenni

ness and constraint You knew I wor

You knew 1 loved you better than any

B-r-r-r-r-r-ring!)
“1 mnst go," she pleads, struggling
hard to free the hand he has clasped
••Oh, do, Mr. Brewster."
“Yon shall; yon shall the very instant
you have paid toll. Miss Berrien," he
laughs low. (B-r-r-r-r-r- B-r-r-r-r-ring!)
“I'll pnt you out on any floor you wish,
when you have said just two words."
"Oh, quick! Do let me got” and she
makes a frantic innge at the starting
rope, bnt too late. His daring arm is
around her now. He can use but one,
and that has enfolded and drawn her
cloee to his breast The clatter of the
bell is deafening. “Oh, please," she
murmurs, straggling in vain and glanc
ing up in his glorified face.
“Not until you say, ‘Yee, Carroll.'
Now, qnick! Winifred, do yon love me,
jnstalittler No answer. Head bowed
again, and now on the only available
resting place. (B-r r-r- B-r-r-r-r-r- B-r-

low and joyously, and the blond head
bows until the curling mustache is
sweeping her flushed and tear wet cheek.
“Did you speak, Miss Berrien?”
“Yes, Carroll." A mere whisper.
“Louder, please, Miss Berrien.” Oh,
what eloquence there is in that one
clasping arm!
“Oh, please, let me go! Yee, yes!
yes!—if I mnst" And then the bell
rattles madly, bnt unavailingly, and for
the instant neither hears. Pot the in
stant she can speak no more, for the soft,
red lips are sealed.
Two minutes later, as that brightly
lighted car glides down and comes to a
stop at the parlor floor, a flushed and
wrathful youth confronts the tail cav
alryman who calmly stepe forth os
though on air and holds out a warning
hand.
“Young man, if ever 1 hear of yon

and returned to the interior, also that

making for the car. “Wants another

way to himself, in deep disgust, yet
I comforted with the thought that the
train will be off in a moment, leaving
Brewster behind. Far forward a hell
begin* to ring, the steam to hiss; the
couplings of the boz cars jerk and
strain; the horses snort and stamp in
their wooden cages; the motion reaches
the rear of the train, and the Pullman
lenpe forward with sudden start, then
settles into slow, gentle glide along the
polished rails.
“Tumble off, Brewster!" shouts Bidge-
w-ay in feverish anxiety. “You'll becar-
riod away if yon don't."
"Shut up, Bidge.” whispers Bandolph
unsympathetically. “ He's carried a way

her on that balcony on the moonlit even- ;
ing*, and I determined that the night of
her departure she should ere me for the
last time. Yon know the rest i shaved
clean, so as to look as mncii as lawsible
as I did in the old days, wi re my civil- I

“It was a fearful exp<: iment,” says 1
Holden gravely. "Abont the maddest
thing you could have done.”
“I was mad, doctor, when 1 heard she
was to marry him. Ood knows 1 have i

“Simplest thing in the world. Noth- :

whan at last the crowded station lias
faded from view. “Thought you were
ordered to Washington, lad? Changed
your mind, eh? What, Berengatia?"
“Be quiet, Dick," whispers ids smil
ing wife. "He hasn't changed his mind.
Neither has Winifred."
But Holden is not the only one of the
Pawnee party who remains. Hergeant
Ellis lias a furlough to visit Louisville,
and is to take the traiu thither. In his
cavalry uniform lie was at the station
to see bis comrades safely started, and
the last cheers of the trooper* were for
him as he stood with kindling eye and
flnshing cheek, the center of a crowd gf
curious citizen*. As the train disappears
around the distant curve Holden touches
his shonlder.
“At noon. Ellis?*'
'At noon, sir,” is the prompt response;
and the sergeant recovers himself and,
springing to attention, raises his hand in
salute. Holden smiles.
“1 fancy that’s about the last time
you'll be doing that sort of tiling.” he
says significantly.
"You may rest assured that the im
pulse will remain, doctor. It is the out
ward sign of an inward respect that
every day has only served to strengthen.”
At noon Holden is at the hotel with a
carriage, and Ellis, transmogrified, a de-
i cidedly distinguished looking civilian,
steps forth from the vestibule and joins
the doctor.
1 “To Warren L. Guthrie's office,” is
the brief order, and the carriage rolls
rapidly away.
"Mrs. Holden is witii Miss Guthrie
now," says Holden, after a moment's |
i silence. “As yet she is to be told noth
ing—as yon desire; hut should we hear
favorably as to the commission before
our return to Pawnee?" he asked tenta
tively.
“No, doctor, if we meet again it
must be as 1 was, not what this cam
paign lias made me.”
“What you have made yourself, man!
Don't talk of it in that way. The Lord
made you a gent Ionian. You made
yourself a soldier.”
Ellis smiles.
“A gentleman despite night prowling
tud petty larceny?”
“Well,” says Holden, “that's some
thing 1 leave yon to settle with her. It
wems you only carried out a fair warn
ing, though of course you had no idea
of the ghastly effect it would have. Cut
yon never told me how you reached
that balcony."
“Easily enough, doctor. 1 simply took
a light rope and grappling hook from
the firehouse, climbed up the rear porch
at the end away from where Kathleen
and Mnrphy were, went along the south
slope of the maiu roof to the chimney,
slung the rope about it and lowered my
self gently to the balcony, then threw
off my overcoat and stood at the open
window. She had gone, and I thought
I was too late, but calchiug sight of the
very picture whose return she hail de
manded and which 1 had sworn to have
again as well as to see her, I was just en
tering when i heard her step npon the
stairs. I did not see her. I do not see how
tt was possible for her to see me: yet there
came that scream of terror, and the fall
and then the rush. It all flashed over
me in an instant that i had been guilty
of a mad brained prank—tliat it would
never do to be caught there; it could
never be explained, i was up on the
roof in a second, snatched away the hook
and nqie. crouched down to the back
porch, waited a moment for Mnrphy
and Kathleen to run inside, then slid to
the ground, hid the rope under the wood-
pile in the dark cellar, squeezed through
a gap in the fence into the captain’s
yard next door—they were all over at
the Hazletts’—then donned my overcoat
and joined the men running up from
the laundresses’ quarters. Late at night,
as the sentry told Captain Bolfe. I went
back, oetensibly to get my pipe, and re
covered the rope and hook,
all."
Holden ponders a moment;
"My wife has told me what she knew
of your interview with Mr. Guthrie
after poor Jack's death; but Miss Guth
rie would never speak of what jsissed
between herself and yon.”
On the pale, clear cut face the lines of
care and sorrow and privation seem to
dee'iien. The shadows darken abont the
mournful eyes. “1 suppose I should
never have Warned her as I did," he
answers, “hut ] was mad with grief over
Jack, with helpless, hopeless indigna
tion over Perdvai’s accusation: and
quitting your post again and allowing a ‘ then, of ail others, to have her turn

th« crowd* of citizens assembled to aee

in the oozy interior of the Pullman, are
saying adieu to the number of friends,
army and civilian, who hare accom
panied them to the train. The conduc

liue and trinket she had ever given me
—even that prized little carte de visite
I had carried abont me for a year. It
was then, when she declared she would
never look npon my face again, that I
went wild with misery, or despair, I sup
pose. 1 swore that sooner or later she
should see me, and that before I died
her picture would be back here in its
old place, and then I left her. God
knows, the experiences of the year* that
followed might have knocked the ro
mantic nonsense ont of any man. My
poor sister seemed to be the only one
who bad any faith left in me. 1 wan

j Three minutes later the clerk has re-
i tired, after ushering Holden and his
j friend into the private office. The in
stant the latch has clicked a -ray haired,
sorrow stricken man, tears standing in
his fading eyes, bands qu vering and
trembling, totters forward and might
have fallen but for the strong arms that
cah'li and clasp him.
“My hoy's friend! my boy’s friend—
whom ? so wronged!” he falters, and
then for awhile there is solemn silence.
“Is Mr. Percivnl's confession complete,
and have you seen it?” asks iillis gently.
“I have, my boy, at last."
“And it elcnrs me,' Mr, Guthrie?"
“Utterly and entirely,” the. old man
Cries. “1 thunk my God 1 was wrong—
I was wrong!”
One scene more. Pawnee again. The
night train has come from the east.
Holden's carriage is at the station, and
so is Drowsier.
“All right?—all arranged?" whispers
the doctor, as he springs from the car
and grasps the lieutenant’s band.
"All right! Kenyon’s just left him,"
answers Curly, and then busies himself
lifting the merry children from the
step, welcoming Mrs. Holden and care
fully assisting Nita Guthrie to the plat
form.
“Yen happy fellow!” she murmurs.
“How can I congratulate you? It’s an
nounced. is it not?" And for a moment
she seems, despite pallor and fatigue,
the old buoyant, radiant Nita.
"Announced?” answers Curly. “My
mother-in-law elect—God bless her—
says my face announced it before that
elevator could reach the lower floor."
They drive rapidly np the winding
road, and, though plainly nervous and
excited, the fair guest never loses her
presence of mind. She ha, something
appreciative to say a* they pass each fa
miliar object—the lower gale, where the
spruce sentry stands at a i arry in sa
lute; the guardhouse, where the relief
is just forming: the broad west gate; the
brightly lighted barracks a< ross the pa
rade; the group of trump ters in the
moonlight out under the tail, glistening
flagstaff. Then come the rush of Mur
phy and Kathleen to open the door and
assist them to alight; the rapturous
greeting between the children and their
Hibernian friends; the fragi ince of cof
fee floating in from the kitchen: the
hickory logs snapping and sparkling in
the fireplace: the old familiar rooms
the swinging lamp in the hall.
“Welcome to Pawnee once more.
Nita," says Holden, clasping both her
hands. "We've had enough of pale
cheeks and drooping spir ts. We’ve
brought you here to recall the roses—to
win you back to joy and health, and to
four own old room, Nita. Now will
you- promise not to faint this time, no
matter what spooks yon see?"
She is trembling violently. She looks
into his beaming face with eager, ques
tioning, imploring eyes.
“Come, dear,” whispers Mrs. Holden
“I'm going up with you.”
The doctor summons the c itldren into
the dining room to see the lovely flowers
on the table. Mrs. Holden twines her
ami about her cousin's waist, and up the
stair they slowly go. Nita trembles more
and more. They are within a few steps
of the landing, and as they come in sight
of the open door Nita shrinks closer to
her cousin's side. Three steps more and
in the dark chamber there gleams that
silvery shield of mirror betw een the dim
white curtains, reflecting the dazzling
moonlight from without They reach the
landing and Miss Guthrie parses, breath
less, unnerved. Shu can go no farther.
“Nita. it was no ghost you saw,” whis
pers Mrs. flmdfen. “Shall I call him?"
_. . One instant the bine eyes dilate, wild
Tnat was w j t j ( | 10 p fti incredulity, joy and fear, all
intermingled. Then there is the sound
of a quick, springing step along the hall.
A tall, dark .haired, dark eyed soldier
fairly leajn toward tl#m. Nita turn*
quickly at the sound, and th<;n with out
stretched arms throws herself forward
to meet him. No terror, ^io angnish
now, hut, as she is clasped to his heart,

one word—"Harold!"
THE END.
Why Kimt Reronls Have Been Made,
A breeder of fine horses had this to
say of tlie recent record smashing: “In
addition to the pneumatic tired wheeled
sulkies, the trotters and paten this sea
son have had the liest tracks to go on
that 1 ever saw. The weather has been
absolutely perfect, and as a result 1
have never seen tracks so fast as they
are this fall.” There it is. (sulkies from
three to five seconds faster per mile
than old style ones, and tracks light
ning fast, have enabled fast nags like
Nancy Hanks and Mascot to smash the
old time records.—New York Advertiser.

Five-year-old Hazel Fellows, daughter
of a well known Jackson (Mich.) citizen
has been almost frightened to death by
a rattlesnake. Little Hazel was qnt in

the suake, which was near by, and
which held ita head up as long as she

stopped Kinging the snake put out it*

house rushed out and found her. Her
face was colorless and her limbs rigid.
She was soon restored to conscious

the snccess of the experiments made
with canier pigeons during recent com

of the winged messengers information
of the capture of Thames and Thetes, of
the Bed fleet, by the Blue cruisers was
successfully and expeditiously conveyed
from the Arethusa to the senior officer
at Belfast, who was thus placed in pos
session of important facte much earlier
than was possible by any other available
method.
The pigeons used were of the Belgian
strain, and high opinion has been ex
pressed of the utility of the birds for the
pnriioee for which they were tried. It , Porous Plaster,
