stretched toward the miserable object now
standing complaisant between the two
oIderlies.
Jim got another little term for this es-
capade; but it was only for a fortnight,
and when it was over and he was out
again. Mrs. Robinson was beside herself
to learn that he could not be detained per-
manently in the guardhuuse without some
specific charge. 1t was pretty note, she
declared She wished they had stayed in
Texas.
The nurse was instructed to remain
within the stocbade thenceforth; Fever,
upon any account, TO venture outside. But
even with this restriction there seemed
to be no way of avoiding Devil Jim. From
afar he would gaze at the baby in the
perambulator. and, successful in attract
ing its attention, would perform some
ridiculous antics for its amusement. In
dubitably the first white baby he had ever
seen. 1t had for him some subtle fascina-
ton: he had found something more wor-
thy his worship than the black bottle at
the post traders.
With a view to enhancing his attract
iyeness in infantile eyes he got to pick
ing ur stray articles of vivid co!oring for
his adornment: 4 bandanna neckerchief
came first. then peaked baseball cap
CT red and white stripes, next belt
which was only half belt, the front
being a sash. But the crowning ac-
cuisition was 4 small, round pocket
looking glass, with place in
the rim for pins. This he wore on the
left breast of his blouse, where the en-
listed men wore their narksman badges.
As all these things cost money, and as
Jim got very little of that. there was
nothing left for liquor; SO he came to
be out of the guardhouse nearly all the
time. And ne grew-through inward grace
as well q. outward care-to be less for
bidding IL aspect. With these changes
Mrs. Robinson was beginning to think his
presence in camp more endurable. But
at the very moment when he bid fair to
become respectable member Of society
he was guilty of his mcst aagrant mis-
deed.
The nurse, who was more or less
comely young woman, with certainty OF
the more in her own mind, was impressed
with the manly bearing of a corporal who
looked after her with very close atter
ton when she was out upon parade. Not
unnaturally these two, meeting SO often,
In the course of time struck up little
filtration; and soon the corporal made It
his business to await the maid at point
out of sight OF quarters, where he would
join her upon her stroll with the baby
Jim noticed how things were going
possibly surniised chat the infant was not
getting much attention now-and before
long he too. would follow, at a respectful
distance.
And thus one day. when the two lovers
were SO busily engrossed with each other
that they had eyes for nothing else, Jim
stole up from behind, doubtless with the
intention of having some play with the
baby. While in the act of passing his
big paw over the infants f1axen curls he
was surprised by Its custodian. who

| he girl let out sky piercing shrek, and
made FOR home with all possible haste

| doning baby and perambulator to his

The rescung party that set out upon
| her alarm was composed of young Robin
| son himself two brother lieutenants. a
scout .rand an orderly or two. The young
mother would also have been with them,
| de- ubtless, but she was in Mysteries.
When. after a hot run. they came with

| something which, at the very least, they
! did not expect TO see. Robinson had been
| telling Parker and Bangs all along in a
| breathless. despairing sort OF way. that
he knew just how il would be: the baby
would be either frightened to death, poor
| little darling, or Jim would have carried
| it off. His wife would never get over it,
, he knew; she would go insane, or into a
| decline, or home to her mother-oh, it
| was awful, The only coherency in his re-
| marks was what he vowed against the

| nothing else of il.
This development however, II 1t allayed
| young Robinsons fears, did not appease
! his wrath. The abduction of the child
| would have been but degree worse than
| this intimate pleasantly. That an outcast
Indian should be playing with his child
II was too much. And when the fact be-
came evident that she baby was growing
in appreciative glee the last straw was
added.
Devil Jim had his back turned when
| they approached. At the distance of fifty
yards or so. young Robinson stopped his
| companions, and went on noiselessly
! alone AS he got close he heard the In
| dian chanting a queer little native song,
accompanying it with grimaces. The
haby's eyes were big and when his enter
| tainer's head ducked-a part Of the play
which took place every few secords-his
gurgles OF pleasure burst forth. The
father saw nothing to laugh at. He was
| upon them in a moment; and he seized
the Crow by the shoulders and sent him
| sprawling.
Jim looked up from where he had been
| thrown He did not seem to be angry, but
| surprised and hurt. When young Robin
son. with forbearance for which he con-
graduated himself afterward, turned him
over to the orderiies without chastise-
| ment, Jim seemed to take it as a matter
of course that he should be tied at the
wrists, and held out his hands. Robinson
| gathered the infant to his breast. 1t
caused him a pang to discover that the
child was not eostatic at its de!iverance;
it began to whimper, with arms out

WINE PRODUCT OF THE WORLD.

In the supplement issued with the
Chamber OF Commerce Journal of this
month there are given special reports on
the Paris International exhibition Of last
year. In the report on vine culture Sir
James Blyth enumcrates the ascertained
results OF the wine industry Of the world.
The total production of wine in 1900 is
put down at 3.6tS. 700 900 gallons. OF this
total. 3,4eS, ,010 600 gallons were produced
in Europe, and zoe. 600 gallons in
America while the British Empire, with
a vastly larger area than Europe. and
embracing every variety OF soil and cli-
mate. is cnly represented by production
of some 9,0O0,000 gallons, or tour-hun-
dredth part of the whole. France, with
yield of 49,. 900, 600 gallons. stands easily
first as the leading wine producer. Her
contribution was about half the yield OF
aff E,rup,. snd considerably Tore tfan
a third of that OF the entire globe.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

| - the Olympic stock company
| since the previous spring. when
Shakespearean production had
called for recruits from the outside.
Winifred Hunt was added to the company
at the same time to dc nothing but look
pretty and smile in the last act as the
young sister Of the heroine.
What a t:mid, shrinking little thing she
wasi She seemed as far out OF place in
the atmosphere of a theatres wing as a
fawn on frail raft in the midst of a
! tempestuOus sea.
Hayden Edwards will never forget the
way she clung to his arm that night OF
her first appearance. He was the butler,
who had been commissioned to conduct
Rosette to her sisters presence. He could
| feel how she was trembling merely from
the touch Of her fingers on his coat.
OF course there was no question of her
making hit. She was not on the stage
more than seven minutes, but her name
was on the house bill (simply for the en-
| lightenment of the audience in respect to
the trend of the play and she received
SIS week,
Edwards salary was only twenty, but as
! time went on he grew to think that those
five minutes in the wings with Winifred
every evening were worth more than
money to him, and he felt very rich in
deed
Hayden Edwards had never known what
love was before. He had thought that he
had all he could attend to in getting on
in life. And here he was, beginning TO
save every cent he could spare out of his
$50 week, in order that he might at some
time have the courage to ask Winifred
Hunt to be his wife.
But this step would have been post
poned to very far distant future had not
Mr.. Hunt suddenly died. Winifred, poor
child, came to the theatre every night
through it all. Money would be needed
now more urgently than ever.
Edwards felt a compunction that her
grief should be in the nature of a Joy to
him, but he could not remember when he
had been so happy as he was that first
night when he walked home with her, not
talking much, content only to realize that
her arm was under his, that he was pro-
tecting her.
Matters progressed rapidly after that.
Edwards stopped for Winifred regularly
every night to bring her TO the theatre,
and, of course. always went home with
her. Nobody was surprised when Ed
wards one day formally announced to Mr.
Marks that he and Winfred were en-
gagged.
The marriage was to take place very
soon, Edwards went on. There was no
use in waiting. The Hunts stood sorely
in need of a protector. The young lover
hoped that in years time his fortunes
might have improved to such an. extent
that Wmifred could leave the stage.
Meanwhile her salary wOuld be a great
help to the little family.
About this time Lovers Three" was
announced as in its last nights. Edwards
smiled to himself as he realized how this
fact would have carried sadness to his
heart had he and Winifred been on the
old footing. and his only opportunity of
seeing her consisted of those few mo-
ments before they went on the stage to-
gcther.
He was to play valet in the new piece.
Winifred was not cast at ALL but the third
production for the season was shortly to

which awoke the echoes and caused the
robust swain at her side 20 jump in
alarm, soldier as he was.
What Jim was doing with the baby 5
hair never transpired; the girl, when
questioned afterward, declared that she
had seen a knife gieam in the Indian S
hand and that she was positive he in
tended to scalp it. But as the corporal
could not corroborate her, much as he
desired to, and as no knife was found up
on Jim when he was searched, Captain
Mcclure credited the story to imag!na-
ton. All he could do with Jim was to
put him into the guardhOuse again.
Mrs. Robinson believed the girls story
implicitly; more, she believed that Devil
Jim had had designs upon the baby's life
ever since it had come to camp. Possibly
she had ground for this suspicion; If she
had, 1t was certainly strengthened when,
a few days after the latest outrage, the
baby became III.
Those were troublous days. From the
commandant down to the lowliest scout
every man in camp was impressed into
the little sufferers seryice-every man
except Devil Jim, WHO was in The guard
house. Mrs. Robinson, her husband, Mrs.
Mcclure, and the surgeon rarely left the
bedside. So engrossng was the one mis-
fortune that discipline was relaxed and
no one was required to do more than
think of and for the baby There was a
week of it; and then, at dawn of a cool
October morning. the child died.
Little Mrs. Robinson collapsed. She was
unable to attend the simple funeral. And
she was not alone in her grief. When the
procession moved up the little hill to the
burial plot the men who looked the
grimmest were net the least affected;
there was not dry eye. Or. perhaps, save
one-Devil Jim, looking out from behind
the bars of the guardhouse. had eyes that
were merely vacant.
1t was a good thing for young Robinson
that, late the same evening, tLere came
from department headquarts.s telegram
ordering the troop into tbE field There had
been descent of SiSdx marauders upon
the ranches in the northeastern corner Of
the Territory; tSey had stampeded ponies
and cattle, gid were carrying things with

there was fine weather. The orders WEI e
for Immediate action. Therefore the troop
was got into marching order by lante.n

man be in line. Devil Jim was let out at

THE sHAMRocK,s GREEN SAILS.

In overhauling the burned sails OF
Shamrock II. in the ruins OF the Erie
basin fire. the fact came to light that Sir
Thomas Upton came prepared to spring
huge joke on the Americans if he won
the Americas Cup. 1t also clearly indi-
Gates that he expected to win 1t. In
the mass of partially burned sails
stored in the loft above the carpenter
shop were seen some pieces OF vivid
green. When opened up several sails
were hauled out from the wreckage, all Of
emerald green. Later it became known
that in the event Of Shamrock II win
ming two of the races this green suit was
to have been Yorn in the third and decid-
ing race. II is said also that this green
suit Of sails never saw the light of day
but was bent and stretched at night, whils

AN EXCHANGE OF CHILDREN.

Somebody in Berlin, moved by desire
10 give the poorer children of the city an
opportunity to attain occasionally tho
Joys and benefits of country life, has de-
vised an ingenious scheme whereby not
only is the result obtained at small ex-
pense, but country children are also en-
abled to get the awakening and instruc-
tive effects Of visits to the city. There Is
no charity" involved in the plan, and
this is not the least of Its merits. City
dwelling parents are brought Into COM
munication with parents of about their
own social status living in the country,
and a Temporary exchange of children fol-
lows. The exchange of favors is q per-
fectly fair one: each child is In way Q
hostage to ensure the good treatment OF
the one it replaces. and there Is no extra
expense except for transportation, which
need not be great. The plan Is said TO
have worked satisfactorily.

Winifred did not cry when she read the
