caught her eye.

he said, testify. Il can't have soldiers here

But Norah Hudson did rot hear the last
words. Her hand was at the knob she tore
the door open and uttered a sharp cry.
Hang K al, it is not Williams" growled
John Hudson. Its another report from
Cuba"
ut is Arnold" was the response, and
then the broker saw his daughter in some
ones arms.
He walked over to the table and snatched
uP the telegram. His face grew dark and
the next moment he had hurled the tele-
gram into the fire.

"Norah said you would come back Christ
mas. You are her guest. Mine hasn't come"
He stalked from the room, the shadows
Of the reunited falling softly on the carpet
and the old clock striking the half hour.
AS he walked out in the wintry wind to
cool his blood boy sprang upon the porch
and thrust telegram into his hand
Hudson went back to the light and tore
il open.
John Hudson: Train delayed. Can't
come tonight. You may hear Of Brent be-
fore long. WILLIAMS"
The broker crumpled the telegram in his
hand and looked at the couple in the FIRE
light

81 hardly thought it necessary to tell
you," interrupted Hudson. His telegram
ia lying on the table yonder. He comes for
our answer, you know"
For what answer"
Perhaps Norah dreaded the worst, for she
seemed to shrink within herself. Her face
paled little and her hand fell suddenly
from her fathers shoulder.
He has come for his wife" continued
John Hudson, in tones which appeared to
tell how bitterly he could strike the fair
creature before him.
''For-me:'
Come, don't faint now You must have
suspected it for weeks. BE true Hudson,
girl. There's business as well as love in this
transaction take him into the firm, make
him partner. you see, and the profits will
thus remain in the family"
What did Norah care for all this? What
was the man out there to her, whose heart
had been so long at Santiago?
She did not answer her father, but turned
toward the door and waited.
Its Williams; l know it," exclaimed
Hudson. Come. brighten up, Norah.

there's his telegram on the table. And Norah
Doesn't snow it. She's like her mother was;
she won't cross me. By Jovei she knows
better"
He reached over and picked the telegram
from the table and adjusted his glasses.
Then he read aloud:
John Hudson: VIII come OF 1910 train
and shall expect to have matter settled.
WILLIAMS"
Perhaps he read it more than once, but
only one time aloud. 1t seemed to please
him, for he smiled as he laid it down.
"Of course" said he, Williams is little
elder than Norah, but that don't cut any
figure Girls nowadays like their seniors.
She'll like him, too-when she knows him
better"
Then he thought of young man who at
the first call for volunteers in the Spanish
war came TO him and said he had decided to
90. Arnold Brent, always brave, handsome
and somewhat impulsive, thought his coun-
try needed him, and he had kept his word
with friend that he would enlist.

q NOU are waiting yet, Norah?"
Waiting? Why not!'
The first speaker, a handso

man of 50, looked askance at
the person he addressed, young girl who
stood at the bay window, apparently intent
on watching the large flakes that came airily
down and whitened the ground before the
old-fashioned house which had been her
home since birth.
A rich fire was burning at one end of the
room and threw its light over her supple
figure, and the clock which had licked more
than one generation of Hudsons in and out
OF the world still sent its musical tones
throughout the room.
There was a strain of sadness in the man s
voice, but in the girls there was hopeful
ness, not unmixed with little sorrow.

He did not seem TO count the uncertain
ties of battle. That is it, Norah. Weeks
and months have passed, and we have done
everything to raise our hopes. The result
has been terribly disappointing"
Terribly" echoed the young girl.
She crossed the room and took seat at
the piano. As her fingers swept the white
keys John Hudson turned his face away
and looked abstractedly into the glowing
fire.
it was a plaintive ballad the girl played,
and it filed the old room with sadness, as it
were. She was not interrupted, but con-
tinued till the last stanza had been heard,
when she rose, and, bidding her father good
night, walked quietly away.

INFERNO ROBBED AT
HARBOR HOSPITAL
STRANGE STORY TOLD BY DIR.
HOLLAND.
Stopped in the Darkness by a Tall
and a Short Man and
"Stood Up"

A. F. Holland. an inferno at the Harbor
Hospital. reported to Sergeant Cook of
the harbor station Wednesday that he had
been held up and robbed on the water
front by the we'll known tall and short
man who generally figure in robberies.
According to Hollands story he left the
hospital, where he was on duty. early in
the evening and went up to Market street,
were he purchased some stationery. AS
he returned to the hospital he noticed two
men, one tall and the other short. stand
ing between the hospital stable and sthe
Harbor Commissioners tugboat house. AT
the hospital he wrote some letters, and
about half-past 10 o'clock went to post
them. AS he passed the stable the tall
man jumped out, grabbed him around
the waist and closed his mouth with his
hand. The short man reached into Hol-
lands right pocket and took out S22, and
then the two ran UP East street toward
Mission.
Holland says ne was dazed for a few
moments and walked up toward Market
some distance before he realized that he
had been robbed. When he made the dis
covery he reported his loss to the police.
Holland claims that he had altogether
500 on his person-the $22 he lost in one
pocket, two in another and fifteen in a
third. He says that when he passed the
men the first time he had his hands in his
pockets and supposes the robbers heard
1t Jingle.
