THE DUDE IN WAR.
British Guardsmen as Viewed by
Julian Ralph.

Julian Ralph.
The dude in war. That is the subject
of the lesson for to-day.
Because the English produced most
of cur literature until recently, we all
of us know a great deal about English
types of men and English conditions.
In ever so many books and plays we
have studied "Algy" or Reggie" the
young aristocrat with a single eyeglass,
with waist suggestive of corsets,
with a haw-haw tone. a languid air
and a way of believing he has seen,
known and done everything that's 60

under Methuen, the old Guardsman, in
whose army were battalions of three

Reggie in London and found he lived
inside a shell, or veneering, so thick
that it would not pay me to drill into
it in order to get at the real flesh and
blood man underneath.
But when l roughed IL with Reggie

poker is goin' to get beat at it all the

nine times out o. ten beats himself.
'Tain't tbe other fellers' that makes

man playin better poker than another
man. but my experience tells me that
the principal trouble is not that one
man plays better than another' out
that one man don't play so well as an
other. An it stands to reason that
when a man don't play as Wen as tne

The moon poured in silver on the
lake. and the refulgence of it, starting
with a broad base. narrowed to point
which stretched toward the balcony of
the hotel. In the black shadows cast
nv the hemlocked bluffs sailboats
drifted like ghosts before whisper of
breeze. Now and then across the rip
oled water came the grinding of oars
in the rowlocks. The tinkle of a guitar
sounded faint from far distance and a
baritone voice, rough in itself, but mel
lowed by space and night and water
rose and fell in "Mavourneenr Nav

The Woman said: 'And so that is
the end of it, You admit the rascal
ity, and have not the honesty to be
ashamed of it,
The Man said, with a note of impa-
tience: "Rascality! There was no ras-
cality. Such things happen, we know
not why or how. 1t was the accident
of a moment"
1T was an accident which had been
made ready fora prepared accident,
a despicable accident, cowardly &C.
cident."

Heloise. The girl was fresh and
charming. Yet she did not tempt me.

not to her witchery. l swear that you
- -
I'VE were plighted lovers, were we
not? We We're to have been married
in two months
That is true. We We're, and are
yet. during my absence of ten days
you courted this girl assiduously, you
were her recognized cavalier, you
danced with her, rowed with her, spent
hours upon the lake with her."
THAT is true, also, but man must
do something to kill time. l did not
love her; 1 felt no single thrill of love
toward her"
Did you tell her that you loved
her?''
Il did not"
yet you kissed her.
THAT is admitted, also, but l do not
know how it happened
You admit it freely now, but I
should have known nothing of it but
for her She learned of the relation we
have borne to each other and told me
of it in tears. She did not wish to rob
me, she said"
There are plenty of pretty heads
without brains in them. She has made
trouble by her remorse. Kiss and never
tell is an excellent MOTTO
You think SO, do you? Did you tell
her that you were an engaged man ?
During those long hours wasted in
pursuit of her did you intimate to her
that you were pledged by word which
should hold any honorable MANI"
Il did not tell her so, certainly. Why

done her no harm. l do not wear my
heart upon my sleeve for DAVIS to peck

crept into the Mans voice. He was be-

was pale but composed. Her lips were
little white, and her brows were
level above glinting gray eyes, but she
held herself well in hand. Slowly from
one slender finger she drew a circlet

Mark Twain's witty allusion to a

inaptly applies to many of the resi-
dences bui.s nowadays.
To plan a house which shall be with
out defect in design and construction;
which shall possess the characteristics
necessary to stampit as good architect
ure and the common place; which
shall lack none OF the interior incon-
venicnces essential to HoME-LTKE

which shall be, within and without, a
pleasing and harmonious whole, re-
uuires more than the real willingness
TO do it. Brains, skill and trained
taste are indispensable.

largest sale OF any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers, and
grandmotherS, never thought OF using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
BUSINESS. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard OF Appendicitis Nervous
PrOstration or Heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system aud stop fermentation OF
undigeSted food, regulate the action
OF the liver, stimulate the nervous and

Is all they took when feeling dull and
