only a certain sharp self interest as
the animating principle within. She
had yellow hair and wide blue eyes
with dark lashes. They surely were
remarkable eyes. possessed of a fasci.
nation that, In my WI case at least,
could rise above the level Of
curiosity. With Graden. however, 1t
amounted to hypnotism, and | think
he never saw Muriel at all-only her
eyes.
The worst part of the whole affair
perhaps was the chance that it would
break Constance Hamlin's heart She
loved Graden, but she was not the sort
of girl to tell anybody about 1t. She
lived her life as she had always lived
1t, cheerfully and sweetly. and she met
Graden with a smile and with q vel
come whenever they were brought to-
gether.
Muriel took her triumph with a mock
humility worse than any arrogance l
ever saw. The key Of the scene was,
How can you love poor little me?"
Aud she played it to the gallery.
We were expecting an announcement
of the engagement In the full conf
dence that the persons concerned had
come to an understanding when bust.
ness suddenly called Graden away to
Chicago. He was gone about q fort
night. and Muriel received a fat letter
from him every day. When he came
back, he was very much occupied with
business affairs.
Muriel during this period called quite
often at the office Of the Graden estate,
where Arthur's room. which had a door
upon the street, had long been a rem
devious for all of us. to the harm Of
his pecuniary affairs sometimes, I've
no doubt.
One day when Muriel called there
Graden was out. and the girl remained
alone in the private room for half an
hour or more. When Graden entered,
she was seated before his desk, and
her handkerchief was pressed against
her eyes, which. as she turned them
toward him. he perceived to be red
dened by weeping.
"Muriel!" he exclaimed, springing
forward. What is the matter?"
She flung out her hands with a ges-
ture that means repulsion in any good
school of elocItion. Then she shook
her bead slowly and sadly, and. having
half risen, she sank back again into
her chair.
Il trusted you SO completely" she
cried. ~ was SO sure of you'll"
Gtaden shook himself, as if to drive
away a dream.
II don't understand" he said.
The yellow haired doll laid her hand
upon a very small packet of letters
from which the cord was Ioosened. Up
on the top there seemed to be two let.
tiers that were not in their envelopes,
and another was open on the table.
"You have been reading those?" said
Graden In a peculiar, strained tone.
why did you do it?"
Murlel was somewhat alarmed; but.
having begun a jealousy scene, she felt
that 1t must be played through.

Total. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 2233 1853
"With the calls for volunteers, and the
apportionment Of the troops among the
several States, the muster-in, equipment,
and mobilization of the army for the war
began. 1t is hardly necessary to say that
the task was neither simple nor an easy
one. The successful accomplishment of
this undertaking in such a comparatively
brief period is in itself the greatest tribute
that could be paid to the officers of the
Regular Army by whom the work was
done. This statement applies to the line
as we'll as to the staff.
1.-The Governors of each State desig:
mated the rendezvous for its allotment.
To insure the muster-in of only able
bodied applicants, Regular Army officers
were sent to these State camps. Each
volunteer, after enrolment, underwent a
thorough physical examination before he
was mustered into the service. For each
individual soldier was prepared and for
warded to the War Department n de-
scription, giving his physical record and
history of enlistment.
1.-The Quartermaster Department, i'm
mediately after the first call, was con-
fronted with the proposition of assembling
at the selected camps-Chickam manga,
Tampa, Mobile and Washington-this
vast army from an area exceeding that
Of the entire continent of Europe. At
Camp Thomas and Camp Alger almost
every State in the Union was represented
by full regiment of infantry or other or
ganization. Our soldiers did not travel
during the war with Spain as they did
during the civil war. In all contracts with
the railroads it was expressly stipulated
that in the day coaches each soldier should
have an entire seat for himself and his
equipment, and for over 24 hours of travel
the troops should occupy sleeping cars
Pullmans or tourists-three men to sec
ton. Few veterans of the civil war can
recall having Travelled during the COS in
any but box. cattle, or on fiat cars. Even
the horses and mules. in the war with
Spain, were nearly all shipped in patent
palace stock cars.
''The arrival Of the volunteers from
their several States at the camps of in
struction quickly demonstrated the fact
that so far as equipment was concerned
these miltiamen were little better than
recruits. Not 4 single regiment was fully
ready for the field. They were deficient
in regimental equipment of every kind. No
less than 100000 Springfield rifles and
carbines were issued to volunteers who
had been supposed to be well armed. Very
many arrived in camp without uniforms,
accOuterments. rifles, or anything, in fact,
necessary for active service, except that
enthusiasm which is the invariable char
acteristic of the American volunteer.
