Nike pipe dream. Capt. Buffer, it
seems, is connected with one of the
Eitled English families He originally
was an officer in her majesty's Foot
guards which means good deal in
a social way. He transferred to the
Eleventh Bengals and saw service in
India. Meanwhile he had married an
English girl much younger than him
self and had gone out to India.
"Only year after he went to Simla
he discovered-T don't know how
that his wife was in love with Young
officer in his own regiment. And this
rs the part of the story don't suppose
anybody will believe-Tm free to ad-
mit I didn't think such an unselish
man existed myself. One night Capt.
Buffer and some of the officers of his
mess were playing cards. Of a sudden
one of them jumped up.
81" Somebody around this table is
cheating he cried out. All of you hold
your hands till ] find out who it is
Capt. Buffer looked across the tai BILE
at the young officer with whom his
wife was infatuated. He saw in his
face certain evidence that he was the
guilty man. Presumably he thought
that if the investigation went on his
guilt would be made clear and he
would be dismissed from the army in
disgrace. That. of course would break
4he heart of the wife of Capt Buffer.
And Capt. Buffer did not hesitate He
rose to his feet and swept all the cards
into pile before him.
"'It was I who cheated.' he said.
$50 Buffer was dismissed in disgrace
from the English army and came out
TO join us in the islands. You know
how he risked death a hundred times
I'm the early days of the Philippine war,
and you know also how strangely he
disappeared. Well, I never heard from
or of him till three months ago.
''We had been sent up into the in

started on the trail that led to Mullen
twenty five miles away. The bark Of
the prairie dog, the long howl of the
coyote as he called to his mate, or his
quick, sharp yelp as he feasted on the
carcass of a calf-these sounds came to
his ears.
This evening Cub" was in no mood
to pay much attention to his surround
ings. The sun set in a blaze of splendor
such as is known only in Nebraska.
The sky shone-a dome Of pure Italian

THE CALF PATH.

One day through the primeval wood,
A calf walked home as good calves should.
But made trail all bent askew.
A crooked trail, as all calves do.
Since then two hundred years have fed,
And. I infer. the calf Is dead.
But still he left behind his trail,
And hereby hangs my mortal tale.
The trail was taken up next day
By lone dog that passed that way.
And then a wise bell-wether sheep
Pursued the trail DER vale and steep.
And drew the flock behind him, too,
AS good bell-wethers always do
And from that day, DER hill and glade,
Through those old woods a path was
made.
And lodged and turned and bent about.
And uttered words of righteous wrath
Because twas such crooked path.
And still they followed-do not laugh
The first migrations of that calf.
This first path became a lane
That bent and turned and turned again.
This crooked lane became a road
Where many poor horse with his load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun
And travelled some three miles in one.
And thus a century and half
They trod the first steps of that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness fleet,
The road became a village street
And this before men were aware
A city's crowded thoroughfare
And men two centuries and a half
Trod In the footsteps Of that calf.
And Ger this crooked journey went
