1t was on a suburban train, and they
nodded at each other with the easy ia
miliarity of men who have made COM
mon cause against the same conductor
for years. One of them was laden with
appetizing looking parcels; the other
carried only one tiny package.
After they had chatted few minutes
the latter said: Here's an object les
son I'm taking home to my wife. She's
an awfully extravagant woman, and
would rather die than attend bargain
sales. We had regular row over it at
breakfast, and I told her she'd have to
come to it these hard times. Now, I
got these gloves at bargain sale to-
day, and paid 79 cents for them
they're quite as good as the ones she
pays $3.50 for; / don't somehow think
they're just the same color, but that
doesn't signify. I'll give 'em to her as
a peace offering, and after she's gone
into ecstasies over 'em I'll tell her all
about 'em. Foxy trick, ehp"

a Home Thrust.

A humorous editor living in Austin,
Tex, received a cruel rebuke from his
wife not long since. She had been to
the theater and on her return home
gave such very amusing account of
the performance that her husband ex-
claimed:
"Why don't you write that out just

And what of Alice? That young lady
acted in a most remarkable manner
when the details of the affair reached
her ears through Mrs. Colby. She did
not turn pale and weep and wiring her
hands in inconsolable anguish in the
conventional way Not she. \ great
smile of satisfaction spread over her
pretty face, glad look increased the
usual brightness OF her eyes, and she
poured out the pent-up fervor of her
soul in giving emphasis TO the one
word:
'Goodr'
She thought not then of rank or sta
tion nor of any punishment that her
friend might be called upon to endure,
but only saw q righteous blow struck
at insolence and insult by the strong
arm of manhood.
1t was not at all unusual for the COM
manding officers daughter to send some
of the surplus from her own table
to soldiers who might be confined in
the guardhouse, and when the orderly
from headquarters brought a platter OF
eatables to the sergeant of the guard
and said it was for Private Brown of b
troop, 1t was passed in to the prisoner
without questioning word. With the
belief that some sympathizing COM
rade had sent the viands from the troop
messroom he set it aside until he should
feel hungry, and when he at last un-
covered the contents of the dish and
noted that it contained pieces of pie
and cake and other delicacies not to be
found in the culinary department of

He rode to the stable and, dismount-
ing, threw the rein to an attendant
and started to his quarters in a far
from pleasant frame Of mind. As he
hastily turned a corner OF the stables
he ran into Private Brown, who was
Fastening thither on some errand. The
shock threw the lieutenant to the
ground, and instantly recognizing in
the soldier the man in whose company
he had often seen Alice Sanford, his
rage was great. Springing to his feet
he hoarsely shouted:
What do you mean, sir? How dare
you run against me in that manner?'
Brown respectfully saluted him and
replied:
Il beg your pardon, sir You turned
the corner in such haste that you ran
into me before could get out of your
way"
You lie, sir, when you say I ran
into you. 1t was your damnable care
lessness that caused the collision. !

ly run against me-"
Browns blood boiled at the epithet
applied to him, and the expression of
anger on his face increased the officers
rage.
Lieutenant, your words are harsh
ones even for superior to use toward
an inferior in rank. I am not a liar,
sir, and my manhood revolts when
such term is applied to me when am
powerless to resent it,
Don't you dare talk back to me, you

CHAPTER Y

Meetings between Private Brown
and Alice Sanford became OF frequent
occurrence. The young girl often rode
along the mesa on the trail which led
along the precipitous bluff overlook
ing the Rio Grande, and Brown more
frequently than ever before sought the
spot of their first meeting with his
sketch book and pencils in joyous
anticipation of an hour in company
with the angel who had so unexpected
II come into his life. A warm feeling
OF friendship sprang up between the
Young people. a sort of brOtherly and
sisterly affection, and they seemed
never SO happy as when in each others
society. Bit by bit Alice had drawn
from him many little details OF his life
not embodied in the story he had told
her, and his manly character and bril-
liant intellect shone in her eyes with
more luminous power as by dett ques-
tioning she gradually unfolded his
past history. She lost sight OF his
rank. of the humble sphere in which
he moved, and contemplated him only
as a gentleman of lofty station bowling
for the nonce beneath a passing cloud
Of adversely, and she looked upon II as
a Christian duty and privilege to do all
