LETTER FROM CAMP.

Says Betty, who has spread her small
person and voluminous many-ruff1ed
dainty skirts as much as possible over
the whole window seat: "Lovey dear,
such nice letter from poor old Freddy.
He says-listen to this: The weather
is industriously engaged in raining rap

and the wind is endeavoring to fold
my tent about me and bear me up to

Esteemed friend" suggests the lit
tie girl whom every one has come to
call Lovey Dear, an endearing title be-
slowed by the irrepressible Bobby
Smythe, who chased her all around the
garden with siphon of soda-water one
afternoon in endeavoring, so he said,
to perform the ceremony of baptism
in perfectly legal way.
That the name fits her goes without
saying, for however droll he may be,
Bobby is incapable of that would-be
funny sarcasm which makes unkind
cuts of ones small eccentricities of ap-
pearance or personality, and if she
were not just the sweetest, gentlest,
and altogether most lovable Of young
creatures Mr.. Smythe would have dub
bed her otherwise or not at all. At
any rate he never would leave a loop
hole through which less chivalric ma
ture might poke ridicule.

anxious look flashes in his eyes; what
a firm set his mouth takes Then he
answers quietly:

Betty says, she leads the way dining
roomwards, where, in the luscious
juice of round slice of really indecent
size, Bobby ;buries his homely visage
and apparently the gravity that was
his moment ago.
Presently Betty, being small and
easily satisfied, rises.
Il leave you two budding boa con-
strictors to gorge yourselves out of
proportion while go and write line
to Freddy; and, Bobby, for mercy's
sake wipe that melon off the end Of
your nose! Why can't you eat re-
specially, like other people?"

over half moon of rind, "you know

pen that he loses style. Good-by,
dear. If there were not another pros

Betty, should be tempted to eat you
you look like stick of peppermint
candy in that red and white get-up."
"Candied compliment" says Betty,
and disappears to avoid reproaches.
For moment there is silence in the
room, then Bobby looks up with the
same odd, grave expression on his
face that was there while ago.
Il know" observes he, speaking
hurriedly, that you girls think BAN

are going to fight for all that is best

Of you, Bobby. There are even higher

ones country, and the best and the
bravest and the grandest battles
fought are the battles that no one
sees; and the greatest heroes are the
silent ones who must stand fast to the
plain things while others go marching
on"
"Lovey Dear" and though Bobby is
beaming like the midday sun and his
pleasant, homely face is wreathed in
smiles, his voice breaks in an odd little
way, and there is something besides
light shining in his eyes, "Lovey
Dear, you're brick! Have another

out saying that Betty's appealing wall

The girls laughed lightly, possibly
from the force of habitual politeness,
and Bobby, as usual, doubles up and

pie, unkind critics, are wont to ascribe
