for the light you have brought into my
distasteful life"
With a smile and farewell wave Of
the hand she was of at brisk gallop,
but soon drew in her pony and permit
ted him 10 walk leisurely toward the
fort
Private Brown had strangely i'm
pressed her, and as she rode along
she endeavored TO analyEe her feelings
toward him and determine what 1t
was that caused her TO feel such
a deep interest In the handsome
young soldier. In her garrison life
she had met but few young men, and
these We're mostly officers of the army.
True, they were polished gentlemen
and studiously polite in their demean-
or toward her. yet in the actions Of
each she could observe an air Of disci-
plined dignity that seemed to cast n
chill over his social qualities, and
even impart an icy ring to his laugh
ter when called upon to do honor to a
refined joke or sally of wit. In Pri-
vate Brown she read noble nature,
unselfish and devoid of aught but man
ly pride, nature luminous with the
gold of self-sacrificing heroism In his
battle with life. She saw in him a
gentleman of culture-a man as great
ly ont of place in his present position
as diamond in the filth of the gutter
She recognized in his every action a
courtly mien which could not be hid
den beneath the blue blouse of the
lower ranks She found herself draw
ing comparisons between this man of
the ranks and the gaudily uniformed
officers whom her father had taught
her were true gentlemen, and Private
Brown did not suffer in the least by
the comparison. By the time she had
reached her home the fact had fixed
itself in her mind that she had never
before met a man who had so favora bly,
impressed her as this private in the
ranks She dismounted from her pony
and entered the house breathing the
fervent wish that military rank wore
blown away by the winds, Sc she could
meet her new friend on terms of
equality.
As for Brown, his heart went away
with the fair squestrienne. He thought
her the most winsome creature he had
ever met, and as he gathered up his
sketching material and started toward
his cherries quarters the bonds of
army servitude cut yet deeper into his
soul.

The Adhesive Plaster.

In the family, where there are numer.
Gus sideaches, backaehes, bruises and
sprains, the porous plaster has come to
be recog nized institution. Its put.
ting on is generally accepted with de
light but when it comes to the taking
of. the ''oh, dearsr' and "don'tsw aud
cries Of pain are many and emphatic.
Even after the plaster is pulled off,
there is layer of adhesive gum on the
skin that is struggled with in all sorts
OF ways. Sometimes the razor is em.
ployed for scraping; sometimes sharp
knife is brought into use, and, again, a
soft warm cloth is pressed over the
spot, and when this has firmly
attached itself, the peeling process
goes on. Those who have oe.
casion to use this application.
will find immediate relief from their
annoyance, il they will, after raising
ore side of the plaster. wet the sur
face of the skin with alcohol. allow.
ing it 10 run down as the plaster is
pulled little. IL any Of the gummy
substance remains, bit of rag wet
with alcohol will cleanse the surface
almost Immediately. This, also, has
another auvautage, in that the stimu-
latipg effect of the alcohol prevents
any possible cold that might be taken
on account of the removal of the
warm plaster. This is but a trife, but

ways been bugbear, especially to
children, and is well worth trying

Of friendship sprang up between the
young people, e 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 lie
not embodied in the story he had told
her, and his manly character and brill
liant intellect Shone in her eyes with
more luminous power as by deft qucs-
tioning she gradually unfo,ded his
past history. She lost sight of his
rank, of the humble sphere in which
he moved, and contemplated him only
as gentleman Of lofty station bowling
for the nonce beneath passing cloud
of adversely, and she looked upon il as
Christian duty and privilege to do all

Thornton was her equal from social
point of view, and soon came TO regard
him as one entirely worthy of her
friendship and esteem. AS Private
Brown he was but an ordinary cog in
the great machinery of war and mil
itary duty. She seldom saw him on
duty-in fact, she had but once noticed
him in the ranks, aad then at o review
Of the troops at the post, and his sol
