opened on the broad and breezy veranda. It was far more quiet and retired than apartments in the main building, the rooms overhead being vacant and the occupants of that which adjoined his having left for San Francisco within a day or two of his coming.
 q feel too forlorn to see anybody,n : was his explanation to the doctor. ,,"So don't let anybody in.'' But sev- -eral officers from the transport got leave to come ashore and take quar- ters at the Hawaiian. The rooms above had to be given to them, and their resounding footsteps made him vince.
 There's two ladies to take this next-door room,'' said his garrulous attendant that afternoon, and Stuy- vesant thought opprobrious things. They'll be giggling and talking all night, l suppose,' said he, disgusted- ly, when the '.medico" came in late that afternoons. "I wish you'd move me, if you can't them,
 The doctor went and consulted the head of the house. Certainly" said that amiable Boniface. s.If MT. Stuy- vesant is we'll enough to be carried up one flight I can give him larger, airier room with bath attached. where he'll be entirely isolated. It was too expensive for our visitors from the transports. but--I believe you said Mr.O Stuyvesant-wouldn't mi1ad''-a tentative at which the doc tor looked wise and sagely winked.
 When that able practitioner re- turned to the cottage two young women with Red Cross badges were seated on the veranda, just in from drive, apparently, and little dark eyed chap in the uniform of sub altern of the cavalry was with them. They had drawn their chairs into the shade and close to the Venetian blinds, behind which in his darkened room reclined the languid patient.
 ''That will drive him simply rabid, " said the doctor to himself, and pre- pared professional smile with which to tell the glad tidings that he should be borne forthwith to higher regions.

The instant the doctor be- gan to speak the patient checked him and bent his ear to the sound of soft voices and laughter from without.
 sI've fixed it all,' whispered the medical man, reassuringly. Well move you in minute-just as soon as I can call in another man or two, v and he started for the door, whereat his cratic patient again uplifted hand and beckoned, and the doctor tip-toed to his side and bent his ear and looked puzzled, perturbed, but finally pleased. Stuyvesant said that, thinking it all over, he guessed he would rather stay where he was.
 And then, when the doctor was gone, what did he do but take brace in his chair and bid the attendant go out and say to the officer on the veranda, Lieut.. Ray, that MT. Stuy- vesant would be very glad to speak with him if he'd be so kind as to come in, whereat the soft laughter sudden ly ceased.
 There was a sound of light foot steps going in one direction and springy, soldierly step coming in the other. Then entered MT. Sanford Ray, with outstretched hand, and the attendant, following and peering over his shoulder, marveled at the sudden change that had come over his mas ter.
 Three days later, when the City of Sacramento was pronounced ready to proceed and the officers and Red Cross nurses en route to Manila were warned to rejoin the ship, Lieut.. Stuyvesant shook" so to speak, his civil physician, persuaded the army s11rCeops yvi+L +he Rect that a sea
