L'ENyoI.

1t seems very long ago, that Bit
ter winter in the heart of the Rockies,
yet one of the old regiment, enjoying
with his wife and children the first
blissfuI taste of foreign travel, stood
one exquisite summer morning on the
forward deck of the oddly-modeled
''dampfer" that was churning the blue
brown flood of the Rhine, and thus re-
piled to the query of his better half:
''Know her? Why, you'll know her
instantly. Connie can never grow old. J"
Yes, rounded indeed is the sweet face
of the woman standing with her SOL
dierly husband close to the railing of
the landing under the beautiful, vine
clad heights ahead, her soft brown eyes
fixed in eagerness upon the approach
ing steamer. The slender form we
knew in the shabby old black serge is
almost majestic in its proportions now,
yet how fair and sweet and smiling is
the dear, bonny face once SO piteously
sad amid the SHOWS of far-away Ran
som! Happy wife and mother-the
idol of her soldier-husband's heart
the 'gnadige Fraulein" whom he won
in distant America long years ago had
speedily found her way into the love
of the old retainers of the ancestral
home to which, summoned to succeed
the stern old father whose last words
and thoughts were for his banished
son, he bore her SO soon after the
last volley was fired over Morgan's
head as they laid him away, as he
had prayed, by Carries side. He died
without lingering fear for the chill
dren's future, one hand clasped in
faithful Schramm's. The commission
had indeed been rendered, but grace
fully, courteously declined because of
family duties at his old home in the
fabled Rhineland. Again he wears the
uniform of his famous corps, ali the
better officer for his experience in the
American cavalry. Already Lottie had
cut wide swath among the bachelor
subalterns of the hussars before finally
bestowing heart and hand and
SchraInm-provided dot upon totally
different party, though an eminently
sound one. Already Billy has won dis
tinction las a skylarker and schlager
and all-round scapegrace) at Heidel
berg, where he sports yellow cap and
a nonocle, a straPgly nustache, and
some ridiculous slashing scars, of all of
which he is iuordinately vain, and with
genuine American enthusiasm he pratt

who laughs at his stories, chaffs him
about mis- duels, quizzes him as to his

as an expert mining engineer, and says

pays his debts and provides his pocket
money, and the only secrets Connie
does not share are those concerning
her hopeful brother and his affairs. AS
for Connie herself, she is happy as the
years are long, happy us even an army
girl deserves to be.

did she feel the father arms around
her than her girlish strength gave way,
and she lay sobbing on his breast
