He poured the water gurgling from

Tracy seized the cup and drained it..
Oh, the joy of it. New life went surg

He looked at Barlow. There was no
new life in the mans eyes. His lip was
dropping.

Something like a smile came into
Barlow's face.

A Soldiers
Reparation
Nv EDWARD B. CLARK.

A T the time when the United States
~ and the Mexican governments
made that temporary treaty which al
lowed the troops of either to invade
the territory of the other when in
pursuit of hostile Indians fleeing
across the border, James Tracy was
a second lieutenant in the Nineteenth
cavalry. 1t was during the height of
the Geronimo trouble, and Tracy,
with his troop, dismounted, and after
a soul and body wearying march on
the trail of the willy Apache, found
himself in the heart of one of the
dreariest, most God forsaken noun
tain countries in the whole range of
the southern country.
The troop was exhausted and prac-
tically without water, the men hav-
ing not a drop to drink save what
was in their canteens. They had cut
loose from a river in the early morn
ing, expecting to find another when
the day was done, but not as much as
a rivulet had they found. There was
no coffee that night and there wasn't
a light heart in the outfit.
Tracy was unhappy. 1t wasn't who'll
" his suffering condition and that of
his men which weighed on him. Just
before 1a&viag che AFtasaA sss@s ta+ saA&
received sssgs sas$$ M .s;-c-.S=s E-as-
~. 1e&a.. As4 ae@@ saesas ssfs& 10 aaRSaff,
prison in far northeastern state,
The officer had seen his home only
once since his graduation. He had
stayed away purposely. His brother
had been a trusted bank employe.
Then came suspicion, then conviction
and sentence. John Tracy protested
his innocence of the crime charged
against him, and his family, knowing
the lad, believed him, but the circum-
stantial evidence was overwhelming
and in spite of the efforts of the aged
father, who spent his time and his
money in the lads defense, he went
to prison.
Before the troop had left Fort Banks
with its nose to the hot red trail of &C.
ronimo there had joined as an en-
listed man strapping young fellow
who said that he came from St. Louis.
His name was Barlow, and he was
assigned to the troop of which Tracy
was the junior officer, and he went
with it on its chase across the border
after the Apache chieftain.
Barlow on every occasion possible
attached himself to Tracy's person.
Whenever there was a scouting party
detached from the main body and put
under the second lieutenant's COM
mand Barlow asked that he might be
assigned to it to share in the scout
ing duty. He was reserved fellow,
and apparently of superior education.
There was no camp jokes for him.
He was grave and taciturnI to a. de-
gree. Tracy had noticed the evident
attachment of the man to him, and
as he was capable soldier and will
ing to dare and do anything he was
glad to have him a part of his outfit
when on detached and dangerous serv-
ice.
On the morning following the night
that the troop was practically without
water and in a country as devoid of
green things, save the forbidding cac-
tus, as is the Staked Plain of Texas,
the troop commander told Tracy that
he had better make a short recon
noisance, feel out the country for the
enemy and above all try to locate wa

A LESSON FOR THE YOUNG.
The Cost of Opportunity Not Great to
the Youth But increases
with the Years.

We all know the ancient story of the
Cumaean Sybil, who offered her nine
precious books of prophecy to the
Roman king of old, and who being re-
jected, burnt three, and came back a
year later to offer those which re-
manned for the same high price; then,
refused a second time burnt all but
three, and returned next year to ask
the full price for them, and received it.
Each leaf, before she finished was
worth it's weight in gold; but the price
had to be paid. Legend or history, the
story is true to the nature of things.
1t is an alegory of opportunity, as
countless human beings can testify.
Happy the man who, unlike the Roman
king, takes the first offer of the sybil,
and does not instead have to pay full
price for a fragment afterward.
1t is a commonplace, and a common
place of which young people are par
ticularly impatient, that youth is the
time of opportunity. The boy or girl
gets tired of hearing about it. In the
very certainty that opportunities are
theirs, some young persons are fool
ish enough to put them aside and post
pone them indefinitely. Nevertheless,
it is true, no matter how hackneyed
truth appears, that the bargains in
opportunity are all offered in youth
Things come easy to the young mind
and soul that would cost tremendous
ly later. A friend secured in youth, an
education gained before the work of
life begins, noble character early es-
tablished, are priceless in proportion
to their cost. And above all, the re-
ligious opportunities of the soul are
UNNECESSARILY greater and better in
early years than afterward Except
in heather country, the Gospel OPP
portunity comes without price to boys
and girls, young men and maidens.
With no entrenched sins, with none
of the sitting cares of middle life.
with no lifelong evil or worldly asso-
Citations, they are free to accept Christ
as the least cost. The younger the
Christian, the easier the Christian life,
is well-nigh universal rule.
Every year adds to the cost of op-
portunity, for every year opportunity
must grow less. Those who neglect
the riches of early opportunity, and
buy the poor remnant of the same OPP
portunity later, can all testify to this.
1T might have been" is a proverbial
phrase, because it comes home to uni
versal experience. The price rises in
exorably in proportion as we get less
in return. The same amount of will
power and work that would gain
friends, honor and fine start in life
for lad, will hardly help a man of
30 to conquer single bad habit
Forming character rightly costs not
tenth of the effort and pain that
must go to reform a character, even
imperfectly, ten years later. The
young disciple always has salvation at
its freest and best. Christ said: "Suf-
fer the little children to come unto
Me-" He chose young men as His
apostles. His divine wisdom knew the
eay of opportunity, and the law of its
cost. Unless we realize it too, we
shall make bad bargain of life.-
