them to sitting or standing posture,

any other I ever saw in the army.
Those who had taken off their shoes
could not find them. Many could not
find their hats. All were chilled, but
the boys laughed and swore by turns.
Then they started to build fires, and
while some cut down dead trees as
big as saw logs, others tore down an
old barn, and in half an hour dozens
of big fires were going, coffee was
boiling, breakfast was cooking, and
with bodies warm, the men were as
frolicsome as children.

stroyed belonged to one Of the Brown.

Should cepublicanism fail in
France, however, the duchess of Or
leans, whose latest picture is herewith
presented, might become French
queen. Her recent return with her
husband to England was notable be-
cause it was the first time that the
couple had been allowed to land in that
country since the duke wrote to a
French artist, complimenting him on
caricatures of the late Queen Victoria.
The duchess, before her marriage in
1896, was Maria Dorothea Amelia,
daughter of Archduke Joseph, of Aus
tria. The duke is the great-grandson
of the last of the French kings, Louis
Philippe, who abdicated the throne in
1913 in favor of his grandson, the
count of Paris. French royalists, as
many as could be gathered, were pres
ent at the wedding.
Duke Robert was born in 1869, and
succeeded his father, the late count
of Paris, in 1894, as the head of the
royal family of France. His mother,
who IS stilllNing, was the Spanish in
fanta Louise, of Montpensier. He has
one brother and four sisters, the eld-
est of the latter being the charming
queen of Portugal, and the second,
Helena, is married to the duke of
Aosta, the ,heir-presumptive to the
throne of Italy.

I am sorry to say that soldiers in
the civil service did not always con-
duct themselves on strictly honor
able principles. Many times unnec-
essary suffering was caused helpless
women and children and poor, old
decrepit men. Cruel, uncalledfor in
suits were even offered them on too
many OCCASIONS; doubly cruel be-
cause their victims were helpless TO
defend themselves, and must suffer
indignities from those who should
have considered themselves men.

Of chafing dish feast use a bare table,
with a handsome luncheon cloth or
linen centsrpiece for floral decorations
to rest on: A dolly should be at each
cover, with plate, knife and fork and
whatever glasses are necessary. Make
the table as inviting as possible. A lit
tie s1nilax or greenhouse asparagus is
inexpensive and adds to the attractive
ness Of the supper.
Authorities differ as to the mixing
of Welsh rarebit. Each man is a law
unto himself and is quite sure that he
makes better rarebit than his neigh
Dor. The following recipe is for six
persons: One pound of cheese, as rich
and new as possible, cut into small bits.
Place a tablespoonful of butter in the
chatting dish. When hot add the cheese;
as this mets stir all the time. Season
with plenty of salt and cayenne pep
per and pinch of dry mustard. When
it is we'll Heated through and cooking,
add about half pint of beer. Watch
carefully AID stir constantly, and when
thoroughly melted serve on thin
slices of hot toast or square biscuits.
Scotch woodcock is another savory
dish. First prepare the toast, cut.
ting the bread thin and toasting an
even brown. Butter when hot, and
spread with anchovy paste, leaving
it on hot plate to soak into the,
toast. Cut bacon in the thinnest
possible slices. Have the chatting
dish hot, and put in the slices of
bacon. AS soon as they look trans

edges curl they are done. Put

this is being prepared scrambled
eggs should have been made in an

anchovy toast and bacon, and the
Scotch woodcock is complete. -Four
eggs areS enough for six persons.
Break them into a dish and beat I'M

". "Come home with me now"
His barred muscular arm went out
suddenly. One brown hand pressed
firmly on the terrified lips.
"Cr-r-ack!" The rifle shot echoed
and reechoed about the peaceful,
wooded shores. Coney's head sank in
the fainting woman's lap. A gasp, a
shuddering, downward slide, and his
body collapsed, huddled at her feet.
The girl slipped forward and the boat
careened to the gunwale.
Leonard Burns from his canoe hid
den in the rushes had taken a rapid
aim, but he was an expert. There
seemed no other way, and he fired
without second of hesitation. Now
the water boiled behind him as his

GIRL SAILED AS BOY,
Makes Three Voyages DisgutAed
In Male Attire.

Esther McEwen, the 15-year-old
Scotch girl who has just got back
hom< after making her third sea voy-
age, dressed as boy, says she was in
spired to become sailor by reading
novel about girl who did so. Es-
Their says the story was an exciting
one, but it is doubtful if it's heroine
had more eventful experience than
that which befell her fesh-and-blood
emulator.
The girl first made trip all around
the Scotch coast. Then she shipped
for long cruise to Valparaiso. After
that she "signed" for voyage to the
east, visiting France and Spain and
finally brought up at Alexandria. She
would have continued her wanderings

WOMAN'S WAY.
~ UT me ashore! I was fool to
come out with YOU"

ID UT me ashore! was fool t.
come out with YOU"
In the stern of the little row boat
y Nancy DaltQn's voice rose loudly-hal1
angry, half frightened. The frail
craft swung out, pointing toward the
S center of the mountain lake, glitter
ling in the hot sun of the August aft
ernoon.
"Oh, Dick, please take me in" Her
tone was pleading now. Its getting
late, Dick"
The tanned face bending above the
oars was cur;ously pale. '"Not yet,
broke from the set lips. II don't have
many chances to row you, lately"
"But they'll expect me-" She
glanced anxiously at the receding
banks. No answer. The boat shot on.
After a moment: "Dick!"
"Well?"
''There is no use in being so fool
lsh. It's silly. A big, strong man like
you shouldn't mind. There are plenty
of other girls"
The man paused in his rowing and
pointed with dripping oar. "Look!"
he said, hoarsely. "Way over on the
hill-my little house, Nan. I was
building it for you-for us. when I
could make you home you said. 1t
is almost done. Now" A quick
choke strangled his words.
"I'm sorry, Dick. OF course, I
couldn't tell about-about-" Her
hand went to her eyes. "I'm only a
girl, you know"
Dick Caney's words came fiercely:
"You're sorry! You couldn't tell!
Only a girl! In the name of the Heav-
en- I hoped for and the hell I'm going
to, how does that help me? is your
eyes and hair and hands and voice
you! Mamie, I've worked and planned
and waited, dreaming of the day COM
ing when I should take you home.
To look in your eyes, to stroke your
hair, feel your hands, hear your voice
and know at last you were mine-an
mine.''
"Oh. Dick!"
-"And trusting you, never dreamed
of anyone else. I don't blame Burns.
He's q man same as I am. And you
are ten years younger than I. Your
folks-well, he's got money and style,
and I'm only Dick Caney. I'll take
the blame for my blindness, but he
shall never have you, Nannie-never!"
"Oh, take me home, Dick! Don't
talk like that! Don't look so at me!
Please take me home"
I'm going to-" The strained,
weather-beaten face was full of a
fierce pity. The suffering eyes roved
off across the water.

self, 'she said, Dick, I'd as lief marry

. woman. Then, I think I should
not have done so had she been truth
full and treated us with any degree
of respect. She was wealthy and
naughty, and, after she had abused
us as only hot-blooded woman can
abuse anyone, I, being kind of lead
er on this scout, concluded that if
there was anything about the prem
Uses that would be of use to US, we
would appropriate it for that pur-
pose.
My battery team was getting
rather thin with hard labor and
short rations, and I had noticed a
large barn before entering the house
that looked as though there might be
horses in it. put the question to
her:
Have you any horses?"
"No, we have none"
"What is that big barn for, if you
have no horses to put in it,"
''Oh, we had horses before the
war!"
II suppose they are now in the
confederate service?" I remarked.
THAT, sir, I consider is none of
your business, and you will please
trouble me with no more of your i'm
pertinence, sir" she replied very dis
painfully.
Every we'll, madam" said. "Comc
on, boys; we will see what is in that
barn without troubling the madam
to answer any more questions.'
On entering the barn, the first
thing that greeted my vision was a
splendid pair of carriage horses. I
laid my hands on them and turned to
the boys, who were following closely.
Boys, these are mine!"
Several made EXPLANATIONS Of sur
prise.
"You understand" I emphasized,
"these are mine; whatever else you
may find you are welcome to, as far
as T am concerned" and led then.
from the barn.
The lady came out and pleaded
piteously for her carriage team. But
it was of no use then. If she had
treated us with respect we would not
have molested her property. l told
her there was my battery team; all
they needed to make good carriage
team was little feeding up, and l
would trade with her. I unhitched
my shadows, hitched on the noble
pair, led the relieved pair into the
barn, and tied them. The trade was
made.
After we returned to camp, the
captain, noticing the improvement in
my team, asked:
"Where did you get that team?"
'Traded for it, sir. Pretty fine
team. isn't it, captain?"
mobile animals, sir. Pretty fine
team, yes. But where did you get
them? Who did you get them off.
How did you trade?" he questioned
"Well, sir, got them at fine
plantation we visited to-day, ss6f n
lady, and l gave my team for them,
even up"
WAS the lady willing to trade?"
well, we held quite conversation
over the matter, and l brought the
team away with me-"
Didn't the woman protest against
letting you bring them away?''
II didn't ask her."
II think, sir, you will have the
pleasure of returning that team to
the owner in the morning." said he,
somewhat sternly. eve can'tS allow

if having to undergo medical exami-
nation had not forced her to admit
that she was q girl. Her captain
brought her back as cabin passenger
to England, where she fell into the
hands of the police, as having no Wis
ible means of support" and has just
been released.
Esther ran away from home because
her half-sister, with whom she used
to live, treated her unkindly. Her par
ents were dead. Big, strong and
healthy, she had been working in the
fields up to the time when the book
about the sailor lass fell into her
hands. Then she decided to cut loose.
First she went to barber and with
out tremor told him to take off her
long black hair. She had him crop it
close to her head. Then she got q
suit of boys clothes and left the
little village, Wishaw, where she was
living, for Glasgow. She got into an
empty compartment" and changed
her clothes between stations.
Soon after she had reached Glas-
gov she postponed her plan of going
to sea for awhile. Instead she worked
as a boy in q colliery. Wandering
about the streets one night in her male
get-up, somebody offered her chance
in the mines. She took it, and for
three months worked in her shirt
sleeves beside the men and earned six
dollars week. One day, however,
part of the colliery roof underneath
which she worked fell in, just missing
the girl and killing the man next to
her. This scared Esther so badly that
she quit the coal business. Her first
plan of going to sea came back to her,
and leaving Glasgow for Ayr on the
seacoast, she prepared to carry it out.
Esther didn't find much difficulty in
getting berth" on board. ship. She
signed as cabin boy on vessel called
the Discovery, and it was on this craft
that she took her trip around the
Scottish coast. She called herself Al
Ian Gordon. She was paid off at New
port, England, and promptly found
place as cabin boy on ship bound for
South America. After this voyage was
over she found herself in Cardiff with
about $13 in her pocket. The ship
in which she set off for Alexandria
was named The Gem, and the girl
worked as a steward aboard of her.
When at the eastern city the word was
passed round that doctor was COM
ing to examine the entire ships COM
pany, she went to her captain and con-
fided in him. Fortunately for her he
proved to be kindhearted and immedi-
ately told her that he would take her
home and see that she didn't suffer en-
the way. HE treated me like faith
err" Esther said.
OF course it got out that there was
a girl on board dressed as boy-for
the sailor-lass had not been able to get
any other clothes-and when the ship
reached port a policeman heard some
of the men talking about Esther and
forthwith made it his business to ar
rest her. The girl was released after
a day or two, one of her sisters having
turned up and claimed her.
Esther says she doesn't like the sen
at all, and that she didn't have good
time on ship-board, for the men'sways
displeased her. Of course, she didn't
care for their amusements, either, and
they thought her mopish and bad
ellow."-London Letter in Detroit
