any surrounding object is thus felt most
distinctly by the animal, although the

Peter Maher, "the Irish champion, last

demonstrated beyond the shadow OF a
doubt that no ordinary second-class mid
dleweight man stands the ghost OF a show

There may have been lump of tender
feeling in Jacks throat, or he may have
swallowed his pride as men will at such
times. Something caused little choke

"Carrie, called to see you for the
last time in long while, perhaps,
and
"Oh, no! You'll be back again, and
that before long. Or if you can content
yourself as a mere common soldier you'd
better stay away"
Jack stood in the path ready to take
her at her word. But she turned at last
for better view, and her eyes rested
fondly upon the bright uniform that set
off his shapely figure far better than farm
clothes or even Sunday suit.
$50! there's nothing to come back for, .

meaning interest in this matter, but ]

Farmer Royce waited to catch the
closing words, but went on without re-
plying. He was thinking that John was
only a dreamer. John Royce, or Jack,
as he was Familiarity called, was a bright
school boy just coming to manhood. His
father was man of influence and be-
ieved rather in deals and trades than in
dependence upon hard work and merit.
Another son, Dick, was like bis father in
his views about getting on in the world.
He was studying law and aiming at the
political field.
When Dick learned what Jack had
done he said to him:
"Just like you, Jack, with your senti-
mental notions. You'll sink to be a mo-
body and disgrace the family"
"Well, Dick, I'll agree not to do 1t in
these parts. You can maintain the repq-
tation of our name and I'll find home
elsewhere" said Jack.
"Pd advise you to. A private soldier,
eh? You might as well go driving on the
canal"

the canal business. The bottom is the
place to begin life.n
"Humphr muttered Dick, and walked
away loftily toward his Office, where
freshly painted sign announced, erich.
ard Royce, Attorney-at-Law."
There was one more interview in the
little circle of Jacks nearest and dearest
intimacies, and the young soldier longed
to know what his reception would be in
that quarter Carrie Westiake was the
daughter of neighbor, and as Farmer
Royce had no daughters, and had lost
his wife some time before, the Westlakes
had helped to give social life to the old
farmhouse. Mrs. Westlake and Carrie
and their friends had often called in to
brighten the leisure hours for the lonely
household. and everybody who looked on
thought it would please the father an
at least one of his sons if Carrie would
take the notion after while to come for
good and change her name to Royce.
Whether Jack or Dick would speak the
winning word of invitation was ques-
ton the wisest matchmaker in the town
could not solve. Jack waited that even
ing until he knew it was too late for
call from the other house and then
strolled, somewhat neryously, in that
direction. He found Carrie alone, among
the flower beds Of the front yard. Her
greeting seemed like an echo of what he
had just heard at home.
Why, jack she said, without tax
