terminated six years before.

Out Of the glare of the dim lights of
the Hester street mission house they
came, the noisy, the forward, the un-
couth, making their usual uproar. The
service Of the night was over, and back
to their homes or to the saloons or
for the moment into the light of better
things by the voice of the little an
gel" And all tender, sweet and droop-
ing, with the light seeming to shine in
a glory on her hair, stood the oma
who had sworn to repay ~ill-gotten
money. She was at that moment
caressing a group of dirty-faced chill
dren crowding around her and fighting
for the place nearest to her. And the
man to whom she was plighted stand
ing in the shadow of the orner felt
that in truth she held his own heart.
What was in the touch of the hand
laid softly, timidly on the shoulder to
cause George Stevens to turn sharply
round with a frightened cry? What
was there in the aspect of the little
frail creature, white-faced and haggard
and worn, looking at him with all her
heart in her eyes? Out of these eyes
the dead alive stared at him, the liv-
ing ghost of the oma he had loved
and from whom he had been torn
years ago. Not dead; not lying in her
grave across the seas, but here, among
the living, speaking to him in the old
tones, with the look hat he remember
ed so well.
Yes, George, it's mot dead-but
living. 1t was | that caused them to

myself it didn't matter. l never meant

the woman who was to be his wife and

who is that woman? What does
she mean? l heard her last words.
She spoke of you being what you once
were. What were you to her? Who
is she?"
There was no time for prevarication
or parleying. In twenty words he told
her.
The hard glitter died out of her eyes.
In the face turned upon him now there
was nothing but what was tender,
womanly and good.
Poor thing! Poor thing!" she muir
INJURED. God help her-and mel"
A sob burst from her and in that sob
her heart broke.
They heard three days later how the
first of the stricken women had gone
to the old home in Arch street, Phila-
delphia; how with tottering steps she
had CROPPED her way into the parlor
and there, on the very spot where in
the bloom and radiance of her girlish
beauty she had first stood to greet
him, had dropped in a heap on the
floor, never to speak again.

upon Its treasures. For, as Luther

to be studied. When some one re-

wood from which the cuttings are to
be made. 1t must neither be too hard
nor too soft. To be sure of getting it
at about the right stage, make up the
cuttings from the flower shoots or
stalks at the terminus of which the
flower is borne, just at the time the
flower naturally willis and the petals
fall. 1t is not necessary at all in
making the cuttings to have an eye,
or joint it might be called. at the end
of the cutting which enters the sand,
as is often supposed. Make the cut
tings about two and one-half inches
in length, using a sharp knife, and in
cutting let the stroke be slightly slant
ing. The ends of the cutting should
be cut clean and smooth, and not mash
ed or bruised in any way. Let several
leaves remain on each cutting, but trim
off the tips of the outer leaves. Now
procure a saucer or pan of some sort
deep enough to hold about two inches
of sand. After putting it in the sand
to a depth of about two inches, water
heavily until it is thoroughly soaked.
With a knife make several cuts one
and one-fourth inches deep across the
sand, and in these missions insert the
cuttings, pinching the sand about the
base of each cutting as it is put in.
When the pan is filled with the cut
tings about an inch apart, or perhaps
a little more, set the pan in full sun
light, there to remain every day during
the roofing process. The only opera
ton necessary each day while roofing
is to keep the sand thoroughly satur-
ated with water. Neglect this one day
and the chances are that the whole
lot will be spoiled.-From Woman's

No More Rainbow Togpery.

A young woman friend of the Post
says-and she is noted for her store OF
information on these matters-that tho
summer bicycle girl is going to wear
easy fitting, tan Oxford ties, and very
thin, vari-colored hose, drop stitch or
otherwise, almost exclusively this year.
She announces also that the divided
bicycle skirt is to be the swagger kink
this coming season, basing her state
ment upon the fact that several scores
of her bosom bicycle pals are now en-
gagged in the construction of these
skirts. She prophesies, furthermore,
that Tam o. Shanters, alpines, derbies,
and all of the other varieties of bicycle
headgear are to give way during the
coming summer to the plain sailor hat
for the girl awheel. Finally, she states
that the girls of Washington are about
to inaugurate crusade against the
bicycle man who clings to the lovely,
chameleon-rainbow toggery for riding,
and that they are to make a stand for
the bicycle man who wears plain dark
knickerbockers and black hose unroll.

Once, as she bent over him to show him

unloved wife, that she had been mar

but there were things she could not toll
crate. This was one:
One morning she was quite alone in
the castle. The whole party had gone
out riding and driving, some of them
greatly disappointed for not having
their beautiful young hostess with
them; but she thought Sir Raoul looked
worse that morning, so would not leave
him. She was busily engaged in read

that a poor woman was waiting to see

into THE Girl 1 Left Behind Me-" and
the regiment was off to Mobile to wait
there for further orders sending them
to the front.
The Second Battalion commander
rode horse that had been in Clusters
last battle, but escaped massacre. Like
his rider, also an old Indian fighter,
the horse was getting old and gray
now, but there was a good deal of fire
in his old frame yet, and he danced
off friskily as though longing for battle
once more.
They had to march eight miles to the
railroad which was to transport them
from the Western post, and an order
was called through the ranks for
route STEP which made every man
fall into his own gait, and broke the
straight lines into ragged curves. The
order was indicative of the difference
between dress parade, when to be out
of step was nothing short of a breach
of regulations, and actual service, when
thoughtful officers saved their men I'M
necessary work out of action.
The girls they left behind them -four
ished their handkerchiefs vigorously in
a noble endeavor that the final glimpse
the officers had of home should not be
associated with fearful women, and as
the last company swung out of the post
to the inspiring strains Of the band,
the sweethearts and wives separated to
their different quarters, now so desert
ed, and had it out alone. AS picture
OF desolation, Goldsmiths Deserted
Village" isn't a patch on garrison
after the troops have gone!
But the regiment recks not of that,
but says, at is war;" and takes to the
field like ducks to water, though there
are many youngsters in the service
who have never been in camp except
for practice, and not few men who
have not seen action even among the
Indians, who have been rather subdued
these past years. And they are living
the routine lie impatiently, waiting
the orders that will make them see ac-
tual service and will bring more vic
tories to the regiment and sustain the
fame of it's old record. In thte mean
time they drill and police the camp and
sing about their campfires as the sea-
soned veterans tell tales of the battles
they have seen.

even builds a bed, and not bad one,
either, IL his chief has not where to lay
his head except upon the ground.
He gets an empty BARREL from heav-
en- knows where, sometimes, and pro-
ceeds to knock it to pieces, when he
carefully extracts all old nails, not
caring to play practical jokes upon a
superior officer, however much he may
upon his comrades. Then the stryker
forages further for two long beams,
and il they are not forthcoming he
cuts down a couple of young trees, or
in default of those his genius produces
something which answers the purpose,
and laying these two on the ground

eight inches between. Behold the

more comfortable than some which

In the meantime, while the officers
tents are going up, those for the COM
panes are being pitched with perfect
order, and in an incredibly short time
are taut and fast. They are laid out
in sets of two lines on what are called

or three have gathered together to be
served as one set instead of eating sep
arately. Not only do the officers thus
have one anothers society, but club
bling together cuts down expenses, for
whatever an officer has in mess outside
of the commissary provision he pays
for them from his own pocket.
There are always several "messes"
| (the word strikes civilian ears most
unpleasantly) through the regiment,
and those officers who are known to be
bons viveurs under all conditions are
eagerly besought to take into theirs
