ing. eagerly for its temperance. And
then occurred little thing that was
destined to live in his memory for many
a day, and that thrilled him with a new
and strange delight. He had never been
OF the so-called ''spooney" set at the
varsity. Pretty girls galore there were
about that famous institute, and he had
danced at many a student party and
romped through many reel, but the
nearest he had ever come to something
more than mere jolly friendship for a
girl was the regard in which he held
his partner in the "mixed doubles"
but that was all on account of her ex-
uberant health, spirits, general come
illness of face and form, and exquisite
skill in tennis. But this day a new
and eager longing was eating at his
heart; strange, dull pang seemed to
seize upon it as he noted in a flash that
the seat that was to have been his was
occupied by an officer many years his
senior, man he knew only by sight
and an enviable reputation, a man
whose soldierly, clean-cut face never
turned an instant, for his eyes were
fixed upon a lovely picture on the OPP
posite seat-Amy Lawrence bending
eagerly forward and gazing with her
beautiful eyes alight with sympathy,
interest and frank liking in search of
the sorely disappointed young officer.
There he is!" she cried. though too far
away for him to hear, and then, with
no more thought of coquetry than a
kitten, with no more motive in the
world than that of conveying to him
an idea of her sorrow, her sympathy,
her perhaps pardonable and exagger-
ated indignation at what she deemed
an act of tyranny on the part ofhis COM
mander, with only an instant in which
to convey it all-her sweet face flushed
and her eyes famed with the light of
her girlish enthusiasm-in that instant
she had kissed her hand to him, and
then Col. Armstrong, turning sudden
ly and sharply to see who could be the
object of interest so absorbing, caught
one fitting glimpse of Billy Gray lift
ing his cap in quick acknowledgment,
and the words that were on the tip
of Armstrong; tongue the moment be-

cious occasion-and it did not come too
soon.
It was only four days after that in
itial meeting in the generals tent the
foggy evening of the girls first visit
to camp, but both in city and on the
tented field there had been several oc-
casions on which the colonel had been
in confareDce with Mr. Prime and in
company with the young ladies.

a captain in a regiment stationed in
Natal when paying his company the
other day shanced to give a man a
Transvaal half-crown, which, as one
would naturally expect, bears the i'm
age and superscription of President
Kruger. The man brought it back to
the pay table and said to the captain:
please, sir, you've given me bad half
crown" The officer took the coin with
out looking at it, rang it on the table,
and then remarked: 1T sounds all
right, Bagster. What's wrong with it ?"
You look at it, sir" was the reply
The captain glanced at the coin, saying:
"Its all right. man. 1t will pass in the

Junior officers had monopolized the
time and attention OF the latter, but
Armstrong was n close observer and a
man who loved all that was strong
high-minded and true in his own sex,
and that was pure and sweet and win
some in woman. A keen soldier, he had
spent many years in active service, most
of them in the hardy, eventful and Wig
orous life on the Indian frontier. He
had been conspicuous in more than one
stirring campaign against the red war
riors of the plains, had won his medal
of honor before his first promotion,
and his captaincy by brevet for daring
conduct in action long antedated the
right to wear the double bars of that
grade. He had seen much of the world
at home and abroad; had travelled
much, read much, thought much, but
these were things of less concern to
many a woman in our much married
army than the question as to whether
he had ever loved much. Certain it was
he had never married, but that didn't
settle it. Many a man loves, said they,
without getting married, forgetful of
the other side of the proposition ad-
vanced by horrid regimental cynics,
that many men marry without getting
loved. Armstrong would not have
proved an easy man to question on that,
or indeed on any other subject which
he considered personal to himself.
Even in his own regiment in the reg
ular service he had long been looked
upon as an exclusive sort of fellow
a man who had no intimates and not
many companions, yet, officers and SOL
diers, he held the respect and esteem
of the entire command, even of those
whom he kept at a distance, and few
are the regiments in which there are
not one or two characters who are not
best seen and studied through binoc-
ular. Without being sympathetic, said
his critics, Armstrong was square"
but his critics had scant means of know
ing whether he was sympathetic or
not. He was a steadfast fellow, an0n-
swerving, uncompromising sort of man,
man who would never have done for
diplomat, and could never have been
elected to office. But he was truthful,
just, and as the English officer reluct-
antly said of Lucan, whom he hated:
"Yes-damn him-he is brave" The
men whom he did not seem to like in the
army and who disliked him according
ly, were compelled to admit, to them
selves at least, that their reasons were
comprised in the above-recorded, re-
grettable, but unmistakable fact-he
didn't like them. Another trait, unpop-
ular, was that he knew when and how
to say no. He smoked too much, per-
haps, and talked too little for those
who would use his words as witnesses
against him. He never gambled. he

rarely drank, he never lent nor bor-
rowed. He was bachelor, yet would
never join a mess" but kept house
himself and usually had some favored
comrade living with him. lie was 40
and did not look 35. lie was tall, erect,
athletic, hardy and graceful in build,
ard his face was one of the best to be
seen in many Il line of officers 1t parade.
His eyes were steel gray and clear and
penetrating, his features clear-cut, al
most too delicately cut, thought some
of the best friends he had among the
men. His hair was brown, sprinkled
literally with silver; his mouth, an ad-
mirable mouth in every way, was
shaded and half-hdden by a long,
dropping mustache to which, some men
thought and some women Did, his
tapering white fingers paid too much
attention, but | doubt if knowledge Of
this criticism would have led to the
faintest alteration in the habit. Sen
orally the expression of Armstrong's
face was grave, and, on duty a tritle
stern; and not ten people in the world
were aware what hunfor could twinkle
in the clear, keen eyes, or twitch about
the corners of that mobile mouth
There were no five who knew the ten
derness that lay in hiding there, for
Armstrong had few living kindred and
they were men. There lived not, as he
drove this glorious August morning to
the breezy uplands beyond the camps,
one woman who could say she had seen
those eyes of Armstrong; melt and
glow with love. As for Amy Lawrence,
she was not dreaming of such a thing.
She was not even looking at him. Her
thoughts at the moment were drifting
back to that usually light-hearted boy
who stood gazing so disconsolately
after them as they drove away, her eyes
were intent upon an approaching group
that presently reclaimed her wandering
thoughts.
Coming up Point Lobos avenue strode
party of four-all soldiers. One of
these, wild-eyed, bareheaded, dishev-
eled, his clothing tern, his wrists lashed
behind him, walked between two armed
guards. The fourth, a sergeant, fol-
lowed at their heels. Miss Lawrence
had just time to note that the downcast
face was dark and oval and refined,
when it was suddenly uplifted at sound
of the whirring carriage wheels. A
light of recognition, almost of terror,
flashed across it, and with one bound
the prisoner sprang from between his
guards, dove almost under the noses of
the startled team, and darted through
the wide open doorway of a corner sa-
loon. He was out of sight in a second.

a WOman's Tear.

The tears of lovely woman had been a
mystery through the ages, but James
Smithson, the founder of the Smithson-
ian institution, determined that the
secret should be secret no longer. One
day he saw tear slipping down lady's
cheek and instantly sought to catch it
in a small vial which he carried con-
stantly with him. One-half the pre-
cious drop escaped, but, having pre-
served the other half, Mr. Smithson sub
