an attempt to run away. / Just
looked at him, and he returned to
the ranks and fought bravely the
rest Of the day. He told me after
ward he would rather sinely face a
whole army than receive again the
eagle glance of my eye"
Ma jor Lagos was the stiffest kind
OF military gentleman. Although
his connection with the army had
been thing of SO many years ago
that no one but himself remember
ed it, his air aud tread were entire
ly military. He wore blue coat
with brass buttons. This coat was
buttoned up about neck and chin
denoting brusIueness and unyield-
ing character.
Although a battle-scarred vet
eran-at least he said he was bat
tle-scafred, and surely he must
have known (some enyious miscre-
ants claimed he was bottle-scarred
he had Il fault, we had almost
written ga great fault" This weak

ter was chronic habit of making
love.
He had not the slightest inten-
ton of getting married, although
hardly "A week passed without his
asking somebody TO marry him. He
always selected elderly maiden
ladies or widows for his victims. In
this he was shrewd. He knew that,
unlike gushing misses, ladies of the
class he selected thought proper to
exhibit hesitation and surprise on
receiving proposals of marriage. In
this lay his safety. The Major took |
good care to constru9 such hesita- i
ton and surprise into refusal. He
was very abrupt on these occasions.
Madame, my income is three
thousaud--rny real estate increas-
ing IN value. Ny heart is wholly
yours; will you honor me with your
hand? Excuse IN old soldiers way
of putting it.
Then. us a matter of course, from
the lady came expressions of the
aforementioned hesitation and
surprise.
The major took advantage of it
Immediately.

should be glad to be favored with ,
the gentleman's name. I'm sorry,
but Lot another word, ma 'am-not
another word?"
He would then retreat in good ,
order, chuckling at his sharpness ,

Lagos rushed upon his fate. What
an awful widow! Upon the mo-
ment, showing no hesitation what
ever, Mrs. Gobbs' head dropped
upon his shoulder, and she whis-
pered:
81 am yours. DEAR"
Here was dreadful state of af-
fairs. Her face was beautiful, but
he contemplated it with horror.
Oh, if he could only have borrowed
South American earthquake Tor a
few minutes. He held her head as
most bachelors do babies.
This woman was determined to
marry him. How should he be rid
of her? He resolved to appeal to
the mercenary part of her nature.
Perhaps" he said, sin the ardor
of my love, exaggerated my yearly
income. Could You love a compare
lively poor MANI"
What disinterested affection.
Il love You for yourself alone,
Major she murmured. Nothing
SHALL part me from you"
He nearly groaned. He was
caught at last-had proposed once
too often. But he must make the
best of it now, hoping for something
to turn up to free him from his
bondage.
When he left her, that night, it
was with the promise that on the
morrow she should wear the en-
gagement ring.
When he had gone, how that
dreadful widow laughed, and shook
her little fist after him.
On the morrow, as the Major had
promised, she wore the engage
ment rinS-a plain gold one.
There is no need to describe the
Majors misery. He was crest
fallen. He lost his military air,
and had the subdued maDuers of
that mythical individual known rs
"a high private in the rear ranks.
At last. in desperation, he con-
tided in his friend Jones.
Il don't want to marry that
woman" he said. Chow shall I
get away from her?"
"Let this be lesson to you" re-
piled Jones, winking mentally to

The Majors popularity began to
be talked about and pretty generally
understood. Two or three ladies
gave him "pieces of their minds"
Still was the Major unmoved, and
continued in the error of his ways.
1t was summer time, and the ma
jor's set" were staying at certain
seaside hotel No doubt gazing on
the ocean made our military friend
more romantic than usual. His
conquests and proposals that season
were only equaled by his successful
retreats
But let man beware of the wrath
of the fair sex.
The doom of Lagos was at hand.
When women plot, then come the
days of evil.
The Majors gentlemen friends
liked him after a fashion. but were
not over fond OF his military man
ners aud boastful airs of conquest.
They were readily Induced to en-
ter into the plot against him.
So one day friend, whom we
shall call Jones, said to him:
"Mv dear Lagos, there's to be a
gorgeous arrival tonight. A mag
nifcent widow. Beautiful, Lagos
beautiful as dream
The Majors eyes twinkled.
"What's this angels name?"
'Gobbs-Mrs. Gobbs.
"Gobbs!" exclaimed the Major,
Mortified. "What name for
beautiful woman"
ooh, bother that" SAID Jones.
"a rose, by any other name," etc.
"Will 1 be introduced to her?"
"You will, Major. I, Jones, will
see to it"
Lagos became Shakspearian.
"Till then, sit still, nv soulr'
That night there was a hop.
Present, all those in the pot against
the Major. Enter the widow Gobbs,
escorted by Mr.. Jones. Our mill
tary friend plucked up his shirt col .
lar. ran his fingers through his hair
and struck graceful position, and
then awaited the introduction.
Mrs. Gobbs, allow me to make
YOU acquainted with my friend,
Major Lagos"
The widow bowed gracefully,
and the coquettish glance she gave
he Major from under her dark
ashes thrilled him. Then they
lanced. Dancing was always
serious business with the Major.
His motions were suggestive of
nan on stills, and his face wore a
unereal expression. But in this
lance he smiled, for the widows
,lamces were almost tender. What

upon her. The widow gave faint
scream, exciaiming:

Every one present, except the
victim, was i'll the plot.

Major Lagos turned upon his be-

The widow colored, OF pretended

Exclamations of horror from all
around. The widow would have
tainted, but The fierce Lagrange, en-
teriny suddenly, caught her in his
arms.
"What does this mean?" he thun-
dered, looking as blood-thirsty as
Zouave.
The Major may have been brave

ated Lagrange, having learned the
state of affairs, turnad ON him,
tiercely esclilimins:
VILLAIN! 1 must have your blood.
This lady is my wife, at the same
time drawing a revolver.
In terror, Major Lagos rushed
from the room. A roar of laughter
followed him. The loudest laugh
ers of them all were Legrause and
his wife. The plot had succeeded.
The Major left By the first train,
thoroughly cured of his love-makins
propensities. None of them ever
saw him again.
