trench In which they lay and pour
shot after shot into the body of .
wounded soldier and that of his bunkie
who was dressing his wound. Then he
saw the captain dash to the rescue
and calling to his men he ran forward
to the scene and routed the outfit. And
as he looked about him when 1t was
over. at his feet he saw the body OF
the kindly old captain who had been
father and brother as well as captain
to him since he first had cast his lot
with the old regiment.
Four days afterward Jimmy. with
few of the men of the company, was
back in Manila with what was left OF
the old captain they had all loved so
well and it fell to Jimmy's lot to tell OF
that captains last moments and tragic
death to his wife and daughter.
And at last Jimmy had ceased to
think of that long leave at home. All
through the preparations for the Gu
ban campaign he had thought only OF
the bitterness of his woe; all through
the days and nights of sun and rain
and battle and fever; all through the
hurry and rush to the new, distant
front: all through the seemingly end
less chase through the brakes and pad
dies of Luzon after the elusive little
brown men, that had been before him,
and his comrades, remembering his
former cheeriness, had commented:
What a change field work makes III
Jimmy" But now with his deVoteu
captain lying in his soldiers grave,
with his captains wife and daughter
left to his care, the old trouble faded
out and he thought only Of the friend
that he had lost and the charge that
was his, for the captain had placed
his affairs in Marshall's hands In the
event of his meeting a soldiers 1ate'
as Marshall had placed his in the cap
tain's.
And so it came that after the SOL
diers and the family had paid their
last tribute to the dead, the last volley
had been fired over the grave, taps
had floated out upon the warm still air
and died away that the evening had
closed down upon the quaint old city,
Jimmy sat in the flag draped little
parlor of the Lyons quarters. listening
to the patter and drip OF the
everlasting rain. The dim lamps
cast an uncertain light over
the room, the air was still
and heavy and his thoughts were sad,
but as he looked into the sad, tired
face of the young girl sitting there so
near to him and saw the luster OF the
dark hair, the fairness or the sweet
young face and the sadness yet the
brightness in the large dark eyes, he
felt all the past go from him and his
strong manly love go out to her, whom
he had watched grow from the short
| frocked school girl to the comely
young woman; felt 1t was her he had
loved from the first. After drawing
his chair over to hers he took her
hand in both of his and in the silence
of the little room, in the silence of his
love. looked into her eyes. eyes in
which the joy of womanly love burned
through the sadness of filial grief, and
the one word Elizabeth" told his old
sweet tale.

Fame and
" Poverty

Herbert Spencer. whose name will
live in the world of thought as that
of one of the nineteenth century's S
greatest thinkers, has recently passed
his 81st birthday. After lifetime OF
self-sacrifice and privations, the great
philosopher finds himself at the thres-
hold of the grave almost as poor in
worldly possessions as when he started
the career that has brought him so
much fame but SO little pecuniary
recognition. There is something al
most pathetic in the life-work of
man like Herbert Spencer. The son
Of a school-master, Mr.. Spencer was
educated very largely at home by his
father, though he also went to school
at Bath, the head-master of which was
his uncle. From 1887 to 1916 he piled
the profession Of a civil engineer, and
for five years later acted as sub-editor
OF the Economist before he turned to
the work with which his name will
always be identified.
1t is as popular philosopher that
Herbert Spencer seems to hold his
reputation, and yet one must read the
account of his self-sacrifice and priva-
ton before one can realize the tre-
mendous battle which the best known
philosopher Of this century fought be-
fore he found any readers at all.

How Love Came.
BY CHARLES w. LAMB.

Copyright. 1901. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
When Jimmy Marshall went back
to the regiment after long leave, it was
with a heavy heart and a sad spirit
that caused him to look with glad
gaze to the war cloud hanging over
Cuba
Jimmy had come in from the regi-
mental station to spend the first long
leave since he had laid aside the acad-
emic gray with the mother and the
old friends he had scarcely seen since
his boyhood. For seven years he had
worked hard and faithfully in the his
toric old regiment he had elected to
join and now with his first lieuten-
ants bar on his shoulder, had come
home again. There it was that he had
renewed acquaintances of the old days
and made new ones and it was one OF
these new ones that was sending him
back to his regiment, sad and weary
and welcoming war.
She, who was the cause of 1t all.
was a newcomer to the old town, pet
tite, blue-eyed and auburn-haired. and
) Jimmy had surrendered, hilt to front,
before he even essayed to draw saber.
He was her knight from the start and
even the sainted mother was neglected
in the short campaign that ended In
his rout, for when he came to the
fatal question, it was laughingly,
heartlessly, but, oh, so emphatic, no.
No hope, no future. no present, no
past, only a winter of regret.
So scarcely two months later he was
welcoming the hot sun, the fever, the
thirst, the hunger, the bullets of Cuba
and receiving honorable mention and
recommendations for bravery in the
affair at Ell Caney and for faithfulness
in his care of the fever stricken men.
Then 1t was the old post again, refit-
ting, recruiting. whipping in the new
men. packing and away across the
westward ocean, and within the half
year of his home leaving he was with
the old company in the field against
the little brown Tagals of Luzon; still
with disappointment ranking in his
heart and driving him into the ex-
citement of the war with fevered en-
ergy.

years OF cadethood without single
