The Trlckster Tricked,

A card sharper who had evidently
been doing the races joined a small
group of farm servants in a public
house. Failing to interest the com
pany in the mysteries of three-card
monte. he exclaimed, in desperation:
"Well, look here gents; I'll bet any one
of you five shillings l can cut the ace
of spades, any of you to shuttle and ar
range a deck of cards as you like" at
the same time producing the pack
which he pushed toward a colored vic
tim, who agreed to accept the wager
took up the pack, shuffled them and
then placed them on the table
The sharper then took his knife and
cut his pack c,ean through, at the same
time saying: There! I've cut the
ace"
"Naw you hain't, neither" quietly
said the darky, grinning. ''The ace O.
spades is up my !"-Collier's

eyes. you've no idea what a proud

end of the parade at the moment. The
kiosk was only so yards away, its
band lights sparkling under the can
opy, the moonlight glinting on the
smooth surface of the dancing floor
that an indulgent post commander
had had placed there. Half a dozen
young garrison girls, arm in arm and
by twos, were strolling about it's

and some of them had been importun-

and ripping, sweet and thrilling,

"Oh, Jess! Listen!" cried Elinor, in
ecstasy and surprise, as she turned
back with quickly beating heart.

that echoed and overmastered that in
her own. 'No time to listen-come.

in moment more the tall, 1.-the, sup
pie, slender forms were gliding about
the dancing floor in perfect time to
the lovely music, but now her dark
eyes could not meet the fire in the
blue. Following their lead, Loomis
and Jessie joined the dance. Other
couples from along the row hastened
to the scene. In five minutes a lively
hop was on at Emory, and when at
last, breathing a little hurriedly and
with heightened color, Elinor Folsom
glanced up into his joyous and beam
ing face-"You had forgotten that
galop, Mr.. Dean" she archly said, but
down went the dark eyes again at his
fervent reply.

THE SONGS OF SUMMER.

On, many a song the summer sings,
To many a listening heart,
When the forest rings with the carolings
That forth from a bird-t throat start.
For the youthful ones there is aye a
strain
or hope in the viorant air,
nIhiIe their eyes are bright and their
hearts are light,
And the Future seems so fair
But another song for the prime of life,
BY the breeze Is borne along,
Like a martial strain is its bold refrain,
BE valiant, and brave and strong.
There is work to do. there are heights to
gain.
And crowns for the hero-brow,
There are harvests bright for the reap
ers might,
And the golden hour Is now.
EIut the summer sings for the aged ear
A song that is sweet and low,
Like distant strain, as it throbs again
With joys of the long ago;
'Tis a psalm of praise and a hymn of
peace,
With its memories fair and fond.
And a chord at last that binds the Past
To the beautiful Beyond.

DOGS DISTURB SERVICES.
Stories with Amusing Features About
Interruptions of Divine WOr-
ship in Great Britain.

Glasgow paper reports that in
country church on Sunday forenoon
the service was practically stopped for
short time owing to the noise caused
by a couple of dogs outside which
started worrying each other. A cor
respondent who sends us the cutting
tells another Scotch story, says the
Westminster Budget. 1t was once
usual for Highland shepherds to take
their dogs to church and leave them
outside the pews. Two shepherds at
enmity sat on opposite sides of the
aisle one Sunday. Soon after the SER
mon began the dogs-one a collie and
the other not-seemed to enter into
their masters quarrel. One tender of
the flock and then the other egged on
his animal, and each faithful dog
obeyed his master. The people at last
craned their necks over the pews, and
when the dogs actually fought not
few of the congregation were upstand-
ing. The minister's patience was ulti-
matey exhausted and so he called to
his "hearers" and said: "Ah, weel, my
britherin, | see ye are more interested
In the dog fight than in my sermon,
and so I'll close the buike-and I'll
bet half a crown on the collie!"
There is story told of dog who
entered church near Sheffield during
celebration of holy communion, some
years ago, and waited at the COM
munion rails as the worshipers knelt
there, as though he. too, ought to be
fed. And Rev. w. Melland, rector of
Port Eynon, Swansea, has recorded
this: One summer Sunday he was
preaching in the church of Penrico
IAN adjoining parish) and pointing
out to the congregation the marvellous
faith of the Syro-Phoenician woman
to whom our Lord said: at is not
meet to take the children's bread, and
to cast 1t to dogs" to which seeming
rebuff she replied: Truth, Lord; yet
the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall
from their masters table" While he
was uttering these words a large dog
entered the church, deliberately
walked up the pulpit stairs, stood for
few moments as if expecting to hear
something more about his species, qui-
etly went down again, and left the
church.

CHAPTER XIV.

Another day Dean and Troop Cwere
held in camp awaiting orders for spe-
cial service, and no orders came.
"Old Pecksniff" had an eye for pretty
girls, a trait by no means rare in sol
diers old or young, and prettier girls
than Pappoose or Jessie he had never
met. Mrs. Stevens was accordingly
bidden to invite them to luncheon that
very day, and Dean and Loomis were of
the party, as were other young people
of the post, and, despite the rising war
clouds in the north and the recent un-
pleasantness at Emory and an odd
manner indicative of suppressed ex-
element on part of both Dean and
Loom%s, very joyous time they had
until the damsels had to drive home to
dress for dinner. Folsom had named
six as the hour. Burleigh, Newhall
and the two boys were mentioned as
his guests. Burleigh accepted for self
and partner, Loomis for himself, with
mental reservation. Dean at once had
begged % be excused. After the morn

he could reach. They thought the les
son given Red Cloud would end the
business. He knew it would only be-
gin it. Burleigh, saying that he must
give personal attention to the selec-
tion of the teams and wagons, spent
the early evening in his corral, but
sent word to Folsom that he hoped to
see him in the morning on business
of great Importance. lie had other
hopes, too, one of them being that
now the order to send that big sum
in currency to the new stockade
would be revoked. He had lost no
time in suggesting to the chief quar-
termaster of the department the eX-
treme hazard. He quoted Folsom as
saying that before we could send 100
men to Warrior Gap Red Cloud could
call 5,000 and the chief quartermas-
ter, being man OF method and a
stranger to the frontier said, as said
the bureau: "Who the devil is John
Folsom? Do as you are told" But
that answer only came the following
day. Meantime there was respite and
hope.
Long lived that beautiful evening in
the memory of four young hearts. A
sweet south wind had been gently
playing all day and left the night
warm and fragrant of the pines and
cedars in the mountain parks. All
Fort Emory seemed made up of wom-
en- and children now, for such few SOL
diers as were left, barring the bands
ho1,,it,pr
and store about the barracks. From
soon after eight until nearly ten the mu-
sicians occupied their sheltered wood
en- kiosk on the parade, and filled the
air with sweet strains of waltz or
song or stirring martial melody.
For an hour, with Elinor Folsom on
his arm, young Dean was strolling up
and down the moonlit walk, marvel
ing over the beauty of her dark, yet
winsome face, and Loomis and Jessie,
stanch friends already, sauntered
after them. For a time the merry
chat went on unbroken. They were
talking of that er-to-beforgotten
visit to the Point-Pappoose's first
and of the hop to which the tall ca
det captain took the timid school
girl, and of her hop card and the
distinguished names it bore, as names
ran in the old days of the battalion;

"He doesn't like him, I'll venture to

talk of the lovely dance music they
had at the Point that summer and
how bewitchingly Elsen used to play
that pretty galop-"Puckwudjies
