worried andhad seen her sisters worry.
Then no sooner did "Gov" reach Europe
than he began writing imprisoned let
tiers by every steamer, but that wasn't
SO bad. She had several masculine cor
respondents, some of whom wrote as
often as Frank, but 0 n of whom, to
do her justice, got letters as often as
he did, which, however, was saying
little, for she hated writing. "Gov"
was to have stayed abroad three
months, plotting the pater and sister
about the scenes SO familiar to him,
but they saw how nervous and un-
happy he was. They knew he was writ
ing constantly to some one. Mildred
had long since OWNED that there was a
girl at the bottom of it all, and longed
and strove to find out who she was.
Through the last of June and all
through July he resolutely stood to his
promise and did his best to be loving
and brotherly to a loving and devoted
sister and dutiful to a most indulgent
father. But he grew white and worn
and haggard, he who had been such a
picture of rugged health, and, in her
utter innocence and ignorance as to
the being on whom her brother had
lavished the wealth of his love, Mildred
began to ask herself should she not
urge her father to let "Gov" return to
America. At last one sweet July even
ing, late in the month, the brother and
sister were wandering along the lovely
shore of Lucerne. He had been un-
usually fitful, restless and moody all
day. No letter had reached him in over
a fortnight, and he was miserably un-
happy. They stopped at a grassy bank
that ran down to the ripping waters
edge, and she seated herself on a stone
ledge, while in reckless abandonment
he threw himself at full length on the
dewy grass. Instantly the last doubt
vanished. Bending over him, her soft
hand caressing his hair, she whispered:
Gov dear boy, is it SO very hard?
Would you like to go to her at ,once?"
And the boy buried his face in her
lap, twined his arms about her slender
waist, and almost groaned aloud as he
answered: For PHYS sake help me if
you can, Mildred, I'm almost mad"
Early in August the swiftest steamer
of the line was splitting the Atlantic
surge and driving hard for home, with
"Gov" cursing her for a canal boat. The
day after he reached New York he had
traced and followed the White Sisters to
West Point, and Margaret Garrison
stared in mingled delight, triumph and
dismay at the card in her hand; de-
light that she could show these cxclu-

sive Pointers that the heir to n of
the oldest and best names in Gotha1n's
Four Hundred was a slave to her beck
and call, dismayed to think Of the scene
that might occur through his jealousy
when he saw the devoted attentions
she received from SO many mea-ofi-
GERS, civilians and cadets. Old Cashton
came up now as regularly as Saturday
night came around, and there were
others. Margaret Garrison was more
talked about than any woman in Or
ange county, yet who could report any
thing of her beyond that she was a uni
versalfavorite and danced, walked, pos
sibly firted with dozen different cav
alters every day of her life. There were
some few people among her accusers,
demure and most proper-even prudish
women, of whom, were the truth to
be told, SO little could not be said.
"Gov" Prime took the only kind of
room to be had in the house, so full was
it-a little seven by ten box on the
office floor. He would have slept in the
coalbin rather than leave her. He saw
her go off to the hop looking radiant,
glancing back over her shoulder and
smiling sweetly at him. He rushed to
his trunk, dragged out his evening
clothes and stood at the wall looking
on until the last note of the last dance.
he, q noted German leader in the
younger set and the best dancer of his
years in Gotham. Not SO much as a
single spin had he, and he longed to
show those tight-waisted, button-be-
strewed fellows in gray and white how
little they really knew about dancing,
we'll as many of them appeared on the
floor. His reward was rendered as the
hop broke up. She came gliding to him
with such witchery in her appraised face.
Now, sir, it is your turn. L couldn't
give you a dance, for my card was made
out days ago, but Mr.. Latrobe was glad
enough to get rid of taking me home.
He is daft about Nita, and of course
she can't let him take her to more than
one hop a week. Mr.. Stanton is her
escort tonight"
Then she placed her little hand on
his arm, and drew herself to his side,
and when he would have followed the
others, going straight across the broad
plain to the lights at the hotel, turned
him to the left. "I'm going to take you
all the way round, sir" she said, Joy
ously. "Then we can be by ourselves
at least ten minutes longer"

R S IN THE A
of the Different Types In
South Africa. ~

There are many different kinds OF
horses employed in the present cam-
paign and the following gives a very
good idea of the characteristics of the
various types, says the SouthHAfrican
Press. The heavy horses of the royal
horse artillery are magnificent animals,
towers of strength every one. They
are splendidly trained and combine
immense power with great activity.
It is q grand sight to see them in
action. The Dragons and hussars are
mounted on great heavy chargers,
which thunder over the plain, but they
are lighter than the artillery horses.
The Australians have fine, s%erviceable
steeds, outstanding and by no means
light, and kept in excellent order. The
New Zealanders brought their mounts
with them direct from the Britain Of
the south and IN exceptionally shape
ly lot they are, showing breed in every
line. They have done great deal Of
trying work since their arrival, really
more than their share, in fact, and
have shown themselves thoroughly re-
liable nags. They average about 1871
hands and are perhaps a little lighter
than the Australian mounts.
A number of South American horses
have arrived from the Argentine and
they are in remarkably good condition,
as sleek as moles. They are thick-set,
strongly built little horses, too large
to call ponies, but nothing like the
height of the chargers above men
toned, and it is likely that in the field
these "big little" South American cobs
should prove as serviceable as any.
Last, and least in stature, are the
horses of the mounted infantry, South
African horses, light, active, strong.
Small though they are, compared to
the majority of the mounts, they are
by no means to be despised, for they
do their work well and keep up re-
markably. They are nimble over the
strong ridges, shnd fleet of foot across
the native fats, and if well cared for
will get through the campaign in as
good order as any.

CHAPTER TX.

One of the most charming writers of
our day and generation has declared
that 1.-THE truest blessing a girl can
have" is "the ingenious devotion of a
young boys heart" Nine mothers in
ten will probably take issue with the
author on that point, a%ndthough
no longer a young girl in years, what
ever she might be in looks, Margaret
Garrison would gladly have sent the
waiting gentlemen to the right about,
for, though he was only 20, "Gov''
Prime, as a junior at Columbia, had
been ENORMOUSLY devoted to the lit

in. Much of his boyhood had been

The statement made q few months
ago that the prosperous day of the
American novelist had come at last is
more true at the present time than it
was then. In about 1Smonths the to-
tai sales of four popular novels, all by
American authors and upon Ameri-
can subjects, have probablysexceeded
the million mark, and the endsis not

Spring
Annually Says Take
Hoods


In the spring those Pimples,
Boils, Eruptions and General
Bad Feelings indicate that there
are cobwebs in the system. It
needs a thorough brushing. and
the best brush is Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, which sweeps all humors
before it. This great medicine
eradicates Scrofula, subdues Salt
Rheum, neutralizes the acidity
which causes Rheumatism - in
short, purifes the blood and
thoroughly renovates the whole
physical system.
