MISS PRIME"


1t was the last name that lay upper
most at the end and the Parson
noted it.
That's the pretty cousin, Billy"
quoth he. Case of the last shall be
first, don't you see? Scoot now, you
lucky boy, and tell us all about it later"
But Gray was still gazing dreamily
at the cards.
"1'm sure never met any of them
before in my life," said he. There
must be some mistake. Yet-that
name sounds familiar-somehow, and
that" was the only name now in sight.
I'm off," he suddenly announced, and
vanished.
There was sound of light, quick
footsteps on the flooring of the rear
ward tent at the same time. The SER
geant major glanced up from his writ
ing; looked at vacant desk, then at
the clock, then, inquiringly, at his regi-
mental deity-the adjutant. 1t was
just the hour of the day at which all
manner of papers were coming down
from division and brigade headquar-
tiers to be duly stamped, noted and
stacked up for the colonePs action.
This was the young clerk Morton's
especial function, but Morton had left
the office and was gone.

A puff of warm air blew from the inte-
rior and confirmed the statement. 1t
was well along in summer, and not a
dozen miles away to the east men were
strolling about with palm-leaf fans and
wilted collars. Here, close to the gray
shores of the mighty sea, blankets and
overcoats were in demand. Hospitality
the older officer tugged at the lacings
of the military front door, swore be-
tween his set teeth when the knots,
swollen by the wet, withstood his eff
forts, and then shouted
Sergeant major, send somebody here
to open this"
A light footstep sounded on the
springy board floor, nimble fingers
worked a moment at the cords, then
the flap was thrown open and the adj
jutant's Office stood partially revealed.
1t was big wall tent backed up against
another of the same size and pattern.
Half dozen plain chairs, two rough
board tables Uttered with books, pa
pers and smoking tobacco, an oil stove
and a cheap clothes rack on which were
hanging raincoats, ponchos and cape
or two, comprised all the furniture. In
stout frame of unplaned wood, cased
in their oilskins and tightly rolled,
stood the national and state colors of
the famous regiment; and back of them,
well within the second tent, where one
clerk was just lighting camp lantern,
were perched on rough tables brace Of
field desks with the regimental books.
The sergeant major, a veteran of years
of service in the regulars, sat at one Of
them, A young soldier, he who had I'M
fastened the tent flap to admit Lieut..
Gray, was just returning to his seat
at the other. Two orderlies lounged on
bench well beyond and back of the
sergeant majors seat, and bugler,
with his hands in his pockets,was smok-
ing briar-root pipe at the opposite
back doorway, Woe to the enlisted men
who sought the presence of the colonel
or adjutant through any other channel.
The sergeant major would drop on him

as he had his visitors we'll inside, and
the soft accent as we'll as the quaint
phraseology told that in the colonels

"All the brigade and most regimental

junior whipped off his campaign hat
and sprinkled the floor with the Wig

company of student volunteers was
formed; its members agreed to drill an
hour daily in addition to the prescribed
work, provided Billy would "take hold"
In earnest, and this was the company
that, under his command, swept the
boards six weeks later and left San
Pedro's contingent an amazed and dis
gusted crowd. Then Billy went to
metaphorical pieces again until the war
clouds overspread the land; then like
his fathers son he girded up his loins,
went in for commission and won.
And here he was Sub" in Uncle Sans
stalwartinfantry with three classmates
serving under him in the ranks and half
a dozen more, either as junior officers
or enlisted men, in the camps Of the
volunteers. He was handsome boy,
healthy, hearty boy, and, as boys go,
rather good boy-a boy in whom his
mother would have found, had she not
long since been lifted above the cares
OF this world, much of comfort and
more to condone, but boy, neverthe-
less, who had given his old dragoon Of
dad many an anxious hour. Now,
just as he neared the legal dividing line
between youth and years of discretion,
Billy Gray had Joined the third bat
talon of his regiment, full of pluck,
hope and health, full Of ambition to
make name for himself In profession
he loved as, except his father, he GER
tainly loved nothing else, and utterly
SOOTHING the Idea that there might come
into his life being for the sake of
whose smile he could almost lay down
his sword, for he had yet to meet Amy
Lawrence.
"Who are the women folks up at
headquarters, Billy?" asked youth of
his own years and rank, peering eagerly
through the drifting mist at the dim,
ghostly outlines of the generals camp.
Didn't get to see 'em. Where's the
old mantle colonel?" was the reply.
Chief wants him toot de sweet"

the biggest Of the neighboring tents,
and close-cropped head was thrust
out between the front tent flaps. THAT

While the launching Of an American

placing the new yacht in the water.
The day was beautiful and a bright
sky was obscured only by an occasional
cloud. These conditions were most sat

the event in which the yachtsmen Of
two nations are SO deeply interested as
they gave promise of long twilight
and an opportunity to get a clear view
of the boat before darkness came.
The Columbia was practically reaGs
for the launching this morning, al
though workmen were engaged on

hour set for the launching, o'clock,

the work will occupy nearly an hour.
and il will be 9 o'clock before the yacht
