The point of salaries of officers of the
Association, as far as we are concerned,

To Policy Holders in Old Line Com
panies: Beware IF the confidence game
played by the pious Insurance Agent
who wants to do You the favor OF
switching you from your company to
his. All companies write numerous
plans Of insurance and every plan costs
different price. You get value re-
ceived for any plan you buy, from any
Old Line Company When the con-
fdence man shows you a plan differing
from the one you have, which is part of
the game, and should you prefer this
particular plan write to the Agent OF

be all easy mark. There are millions Of

ger, even under the exc optional cir
cumstances of their meeting on the
train. True, she was cordial, bright,
winsome and all that when at last
he was formally presented, but so
she was to everybody. True, they
had had many-at least he had had
many-delightfu long interviews on
the shaded deck of the Sacramento:
but, though he would have eagerly
welcomed chance to indulge in SEN
timent, never once did Marion en-
courage such a move. On the con-
trary, he recalled with something
akin to bitterness that when his
voice or words betrayed a tendency
towards such lapse she became in
stantly and palpably most conven-
tional.
Now, in the light of all he had
heard from various sources, what
could h. believe but that she was in
terested5 to say the least, in that 9TH
er mar? Well and miserably he re-
called the words of Farquhar, who
had served some years at the same
station with the Rays: "She's the
bonniest little army girl know, and
her hf ads as level as it is pretty-ex-
cept CO one point. She's her fathers
daughter and wrapped up in the
army. Shes always said she'd marry
only 4 soldier. But Maidie's getting
wisdom with years, 1 fancy. Young
Foster will be a rich man in spite of
himself, for he'll have his mothers
fortune, and he's heels over head in
love with her"
''But 1 understand" interposed the
general, with a quick glance at Stuy-
vesant, who had risen as though to
get another cigar, that Ray didn't
exactly approve of him."
''Oh, Ray didn't seem to have any
special objection to Foster unless it
was that he neglected his business
to lay siege to her. Fosters a gen.
tleman, has no bad habits and is the
very man nine women out of ten
would rejoice in for a husband, and
ninety-nine out of ten, if that were
a mathematical possibility, would de-
light in as a son-in-law. He isn't bril-
liant-buttons would have supplied
the lack had he been in the cavalry.
l dare say he'll be ass enough to go
in for commission now and sell out
his ranch for a song. Then she'd
probably take him."
And then, too, as he strolled
thoughtfully up the street, still dim
ly lighted by the waning moon and
dotted at long intervals by tiny cleo
trio fires, StUyvesant went over in
mind other little things that had
come to his ears, for many men were
of a mind with regard to Billy Rays
daughter, and the young officer found
himself vaguely weighing the reasons
why he should now cease to play the
moth-why he should be winging his
flight away from the flame and ut
terly ignoring the fact that his feet,
as though from force of habit, were
bearing him steadily towards it. The
snap and ring of bayoneted rife
coming to the charge, the stern voice
of a sentry at the crossing of the
Gale Faura, brought him to his
senses.
Halt! Who is there?"
''Staff officer, First DIVISION" was
the prompt reply, as Stuyvesant
looked up III surprise.
Advance, staff officer, and be rec
ognized," came the response from a
tall form in blue, and the even taller

The QUIET HOUR.

WIEN day has let her fires burn down
To glowing embers In tile west,
And busy care with folded hands
Forgets her toll and drops to rest;
When shadowy pictures come and go.
AS twilight deepens DER the plain,
And dewy silence, breathing balm,
REEVES the dropping leaves again.
How sweet to worn and troubled hearts
The falling shade, the soothing power
OF ministries that nature holds
To bless US in the quiet hour.
We do not heed them In the din
OF toll and traffic on the street;
They do not linger in the halls
Where pride of wealth and fashion meet;
But, duties done, and thought released,
And daylight closing like flower,
With homes dear place enwrapping all,
How precious is the quiet hour!

why Joachim Did Not Play A

Years ago DR.. Joachim, the violinist,
and Browning were at a London even
ing party. Joachim had played sew
eral selections, but as it was a rather
informal affair, the ladies begged
Browning to plead with him for just
one more performance.
The poet pleaded, but in language
so obscure and deep that only he
could plumb it's depths. The doctor
did not play again, and afterward,
when Browning explained that he
had asked for another selection on
behalf of the ladies, the famous viO-
linist stared.
