was no unusual sight to see her
there; yet to-day, something
stirred in his breast and Bob
put up his his arms and drew
her head down to his breast.
MY baby-my boy" mother
murmured. "Oh my darling"
Bob bore it with admirable
grace, but did not like it-not
a little -bit-and as soon as he
wriggled himself free and ask
ed the time.
There was time and to spare
and mother said, if he did not
mind she would like to read
one Of the morning Psalms to
him: it would comfort her, she
said. And Bob consented, like
the gentleman he was, and lay
still while she read, thinking
what pretty hair she had-it
fell in Il long plat right below
her waist, Then she kissed him
again, and went; and when he
was quite sure he could count
on isolation Bob got up and
wand cred among the litter of
unif orm cases and portmanteaus
that lay about the floor. Then
he took up his Glengarry, and
putting, it on, regarded his re
Election in the mirror with COM
placeucy. And his pride must
be excused, for he was newly
fledged subaltern of twenty
years, recalled from leave tol

Having adjusted the cap at
every conceivable angle, he re-
placed it and continued his toll |
ct. His cheeks were perfectly !
innocent of beard, and twenty !
minutes saw him fully attired |
immaculate in a brand new suit, |
and the stiffest and highest of |
shiny white collars.
Just at this moment knock
came at the door. and his sister, |
his junior by three years, enter
ed the room. 1t was easy to see
she had been weeping, but Bob
expected as much and in his
heart he did not resent it. He
put his arm round her waist and
kissed her.
NEARLY time to be off," he
cried, with almost brutal cheer
fulness, and turned to strap his
portmanteau, whistling a mar
tial ditty.
Nell sat down on the edge of
the bed and surveyed the array
OF baggage with mixed feelings.
She was very proud of Bob. He
was a dear hero; but if only the
war were over and he back

that the sight brought to her
mind. Bob with revolver in
his hand-yes, but far away in
the midst Of the din and smoke
Of battle, surrounded by the
toe; dauntless, wounded, bloody

cry she rose to her feet.
Bob, who had been taking
careful aim at the gas globe,
turned at the sound. Hal.

Nell? You look as if you had
seen a ghost" Then his eyes
followed her gaze. Little

Il believe you got funky at the
sight of this revolver"
Nell stopped short on her
way to the door, then she gave
queer little laugh. well,
perhaps I did," she said, and
went quickly from the room.
Bob went back and finished
his packing then he caught up
his portmanteau and helmet

In the hall Perkins, the man

condescension; whereupon one

witness of the scene, hurried off
to the kitchen below.
