Guards going through the city. Her gem
erous little act was not known until one
Of the soldier boys wrote back to friend
about it. The fair young woman has a
brother in the Guards. and as she was
bound down to the station 20 bid him
good-by a neighbor gave her some cigars
to give to her soldier brother with his
compliments. She took them along, with
no other thought in mind. But when she
reached the train she saw her own broth
er quite surrounded with a number of
friends who were bestowing various kinds
of presents on him. Going toward him
she met another soldier boy, who was all
alone and plainly disconsolate. She reeog-
nlzed him as an Omaha high school boy,
who had neither father nor mother, nor
brothers nor sisters. She really wanted
to get over to see her own brother, but
she stopped short and said: why. hello,
VIII; what are you looking so blue

''Oh. nothing much, only It made me fee
