In tho course OF time Private Will
IAN Tucker became merged MS n mere
unit in the regiment to which he be.
lohged, and, with certain latent pur.
pose i'll his mind, was glad to lose
sight of tho world he had left behind
and to tako his place as one of the
rank and file. Tho latent purpose
was never known-at least until the
end; but it became tradition among
the rough men with whom ho served
that whenever tho 1.-the and active
form of Lieutenant Charles Lucoy was
seen i'll the fight, there, close beside
him, was ono grim-laced Tommy At.
kins, fighting With ficrccucss I'M
known i'll the character of the William
Tucker, Esq, who had disappeared.
AS matter of fact, Lacey know
nothing about whom the man was or
FROM whence he came. Ho had met
him but seldom in those old days, and
the face Of Private William Tucker
was scarcely one to be remembered.
There came II day when Lacey, with
mere handful of men, was sent on q
forced march, i'll an cndeavor to JOIN
forces with another camp. But tho
march was not success, and thoy
presently found that they were cut off,
N tba midst of the hills, with the day
fast closing in, and the hostile, yell
ing warriors all round them. They
closed mp silently with dim ;egligg,
upon them that there was but %nall
hope, and fought there steadily and
doggcdly while tho light failed.
1t was certainty from tho first of
their being absolutely outnumbered,
and they fell ono after another, with
those horrible black faces swarming
round thcm-with fendish war cries
in their oars, and with only tho deter
mination in their hearts to fight to
tho last for the honor of the hag they
served.
There was one gallant young figure
standing there and cheering on his
men, and overawing for moment
| even those who swnrmed about them.
A spear thrust had reached him nj
lust. and he staggered backward with
n score of weapons levcled at him. But
there was another who sprang in there
before him, with dubbed rifle swung
madly round his head--one who knew
only that tho man ho had sworn in his
heart to serve was lying there beneath
him; ono who saw only woman's
face in far-of England, as it had lain
Inst on his breast; ono who knew that
they should not reach the figure at his
feet while he had the power to stand
and TO fight.

There are trunks and trunks. There

in the spectacular drama for the
marching woman; and there is the
trnnk the elephant takes on the road
n the commercial travellers trunk
that always blocks up the passage
ways of the country hotels-and the
steamer trunk constructed with the
view to certain spaces under the berths
and the hump-backed Saratoga that

light as a grip-and the sole leather
unsmashable affair that has been

But the trunk that was husteled in

ing before breakfast was none of
these. 1t was in construction an or
binary, smart, new, medium sized
trunk. Yet people fingered ON the
walks and gazed at it and smiled and
looked pleased at each other as the
grinning baggageman took it down
from the heap. They stopped across
the way on Thirty-siXth street and
watched him. Even as far as Broad
way the infection spread and the pub
lie generally approved of this trunk.
For 1t had dainty white satin rib
bons tied in big bows on the handles.
There were other still daintier bows of
the same innocent material attached to
the lock, and hugging the Stats, and
kissing the cold iron plates and caress-
ing the solid
And how tenderly the baggagemen
and the hotel porters handled that
trunk! If it had been made of spun
glass OF stuck together with candy, it
would have come off safely without q
scratch or crack. Other trunks were
dumped on the stones and banged and
bruised and shaken up, in the usual
method. This trunk foated through
space as if it We're a pitcher of cream,
and it's precious contents might slop
over. l don't say hat the rough bag
geman actually kissed it, but he really
looked as If he wanted to kiss it-While
the porter gently smoothed out the
pretty white ribbons until the fringed
ends seemed to have been newly done
up. And the pleased public looking on
distinctly approved of the trunk and
the white ribbons and the baggageman
and the porters, and of everything and
concerned.
