Aftcr mature reflection Brown deter
mined to make every effort 90 rid him.
self OF the bonds OF military scrvi-
tude. and as n preliminary step sat
down and wrote u long lotter to his
aunt telling her OF his soldier life, Of
Alice, and Of the bright pictures he
had drawn Of wandering down the
path Of life hand I'm hand with the
beautiful companions OF his choice.
He expressed his wishes that measures
might be at once set on foot looking to
his release from army service, and
closed with expressions of wnrnicst
love for the good aont whose heart he
must have torn by his long silence. bat
whose kind face was ever before his
eyes, and whom he soon hoped TO
greet with the embrace of n son warm
est love
In due time a reply was received, and
tears courscd down the young soldiers
face as he read the tracings from the
hand of the only mother he had ever
known. The old lady, with pathetic
tenderness, spoke of the dreary years
OF waiting. each succeeding day dawn
Ing with the hope in her heart that ere
IL had run It's course IL would bring her
tidings of the dear boy whom she so idol
lied She had never doubted that he
would some day come back 10 her, and
that her declining years would be
cheered and gladdeDed by his loving
presence. She would Rt once consult
her attorneys and take the proper steps
20 secure his restoration TO society.
In words of warfnest love she sent q
motherly greeting 20 the dear girl
whom she had never seen, and bade
her nephew say TO his chosen one that
from his description OF her beauty,
grace OF manner and lovely traits Of
character she was already cnthroned
In a motherly heart which longed TO
welcome her as a daughter. The letter
concluded with these lines:
"All ] possess will be yours my dear
est Ned. When the Master calls me
from earth you will be a very wealthy
, man. and In anticipation Of your early
release and subsequent marriage I will
at once place you In possession OF half
/ OF the wealth possess, and then You
can place your bonnie bride In the
I highest circles OF society. for
which her beauty, education and rare
attainments so cmincntly ft her"
AZ their next meeting the young sol
/ der placed the letter In Alice's hands,
and asked her 90 road IL. As her eager
eyes ran quickly over the written lines,
q look Of perfect peace and satisfaction
settled upon her lovely face. To her IL
seemed that the last barrier 70 their
happiness was swept away by the pen
Of the distant relative, and when her
/ eyes drank IN the message Of greeting
/ 70 herself the hoodgate Of her soul was
opened and tears Of Joy fell upon the
/ open sheets before her.

CHAPTER XII.

The following afternoon Alice rode
down the mesa trail and her heart
throbbed with pleasure when she noted
that Brown sat in his accustomed
place. his sketch book on his knee.
She approached him with smiling
face and extended her hand when ne
rose to greet her.
"Worshiping at the shrine Of art. as
usual" she said. as he assisted her TO
hismount. And what study have YOU
your picture I have something very
pleasant to tell you. Papa thinks you
"a model soldier"
''Ile does? Well, IL Is indeed pleas
ant TO receive compliment from such
a source. So you discussed me after I
left you yesterday"
Alice told him all that had been said,
excepting the references TO his dis
charge from the service.
ut will be hard TO convince the
colonel of the truth of my story. did
not know that you had made him ac-
quainted with the circumstances of my
enlistment"
"Oh, didn't tell you? Well, told
him, or, rather, started 70 tell him,
once, but he secuted at the idea and
bade me not listen to such stories from
tho soldiers"
''He will not always laugh at IT,"
Brown replied, with tinge of resent
ment in his voice. '',rhe day will
come when he will believe In me, and
But let us discuss some other matter.
! have something very serious 20 say TO
you to-day, Miss Sanford, and trust
you will hear me through before con-
deming me. I have given the matter
most serious thought, and have deter
mined TO pursue the only manly course
my Judgment presents. In justice TO
you, in Justice 10 myself, in obedience
90 the promptinRs OF manhood, have
determined To unbosom my soul 10 you,
and for the moment may ask you TO
forget that you are listening TO the
words Of n private soldier and look
upon me as Edward Thornton. man
of whose frien dship you have no cause
20 feel ashamed.
Miss Sanford, speak 70 you now as
one who feels that he is your equal In
life, as nearly as man can equal the
beautiful wOmanly flowers which God
I'm His goodness sends 20 gladden. the
world. Since my first meeting with
you on this, 70 me, sacred spot the
knowledge that you have been my
friend has flooded my life with purest
sunshine. I had grown TO look for
your coming with yearning which
] could scarcely understand, and
could feel my soul 90 out In gladness
to you at your approach, and when,
after thc unfortunate affair which
shut me from your presence for a time,
] returned here day after day and you
came not. my heart was troubled and
my life seemed cast into impenetrable
gloom. Yesterday your welcoming
smile dispelled the clouds. and ! left
your side my heart dancing with res
urrected JOY. In my blanket bed last
night I reviewed the happy hours
had spent In your society, and as the de-
tails Of our meetings grouped them
selves In beautiful picture in my
brain I determined that another sun
should not set before I had laid bare
my heart To you.
"MIss Sanford, II have been nour-
ishing false hope in my bosom I
should know it ere that hope has so
firmly taken root thot Il would wound

''Ilut IL his story should prove 70 be

mo, papa. On the contrary he said
he regarded his present condition as a
deserved punishment for wrong doing
in allowing himself TO drink until irre-
sponsible for his acts, and that he
would manfully serve his time and do
his duty as n soldier To the very best of
his ability"
Tut, tut. All moonshine. II he does
not desire a discharge why do you asls

compel such n man to live n life of
scrvitude in the ranks when he would
be such n useful member of society, and
thought II there were a possibility of
securing his release I would broach
the subject to him and might gain his
consent TO be restored to his friends
I'm sure he has been punished enough.

You allow your sympathies to kick

The fellow has been amusing himself
telling you a cock and bull story, and

To such chaff. daughter. Damme, like
the fellows appearance, though, and
I'll see Colby and give him II hint that

The father directed the conversation
into other channels, but Alice felt very
happy over the assurance that he had q
feeling of real admiration for tho
young soldier and might in future de-
velop n warm interest in him.
