very fond of her captain for a num-
Der of rcasons first, because he told
such wonderful stories; then because
his wife was not more polite, because
he had a bullet in his leg and could not
get pension, and last, but not least
because he always called her Miss Dor
othy, which seemed flattering from Il
man of his age and war experience.
Mr.. Bakers love for Dorothy was
founded on quite as good reasons. In
the first place, everybody loved Dor
othy, and tcnder-hearted old man
could prove no exception TO this rule;
then She reminded him of his lost little
girl, was solace to him after the
stormy ways of Present Mrs. Baker.
and, finally, itlwas undeniably delight
ful to an humble private to be adj
dressed as captain.
But there came a sudden interruption
to this friendship one fair spring day
The captain had taken his usual consti-
tutional within the limits Of his small
garden and was removing his rubbcrs
on the front porch--for he was careful
man. and always wore both Raloshes
despite his cork foot, partly for appear
ance's sake, partly because lac feared
lest some dampncss travelling up his
cork leg might surreptitiously enter
his rheumatic system. Now the captain
being also stout man was finding
great difficulty in removing his foot
gear and was putting and laboring when
Dorothy appeared walking up the path
"Oh. Capt. Baker" she cried. how red
your face IS! Let me help you!" and
before the breathIess captain could re-
Inons;rate she was sitting on the step
below tugging brayely at the obstinate
rubber. Bat for some strange reason
IL was hard to remove and Dorothy ex-
erted her strength, which was by no
means small. for a Rnal effort. She
heard something snap. the captain
called. Take care," and horror Of hor-
Tors! Dorothy fopnd herself pulling OF
not merely the rgbber but the boot. and
indeed tnc captains very leg seemed
coming toward her. With an awful
shrek Dorothy sprang 10 her feet and
fed down the garden pafh: she heard
Present Mrs. f:aker coMe "a the door
and what seemed like malicious burst
OF laughter was hnrne 1ffer her as she
sped up the drive 20 her own home.
