Callahan acknowledged the greet
ing briefly. He had noticed the solici-
tude for his rival in Miss Madison's
eyes, and was not pleased.
THE company is forming, and
must get back. May 1 come up this
evening and tell you about the cruel
war?"
Delighted to have you, Captain
Stewart. And let me give you some
advice-go right home and lie down
for an hour or two; you look tired" ("
IF she's that way tonight .
thought Stewart, dolefully, as he
marched to the sarmory at the head of
his company, I'm afraid I'll say
something foolish about love in a
cottage" Then he set his jaws. "a
poverty-stricken lawyer with only one
lung has no business thinking of such
thing. Keep a grip on yourself to-
night, Jack"
Marjorie herself met him at the
door that evening. Strengthened by
an afternoon nap, the captain kept
manfully to his resolve that no word
Of love should pass his lips. He even
essayed a jest or two, but Miss Madi-
son would not joke. She talked but
little and smiled softly. Anon 81
Ience fell between them, tender, sig
nificant silences. which Stewart tried
his best to bridge. A new feeling
had somehow, despite his attitude,
arisen between them. an intimate,
personal relation which he could not
ignore.
I'm going away" he said at last
down to New Mexico. Leave to-
morrow noon on the Chicago express.
ITO New Mexico?" She did not
seem surprised. "on business?"

A week later farmer Thompson, who
was making an effort to hobble about
his room, received a letter in an off,
cial envelope. He opened it with sink
ing heart, but the next minute he was
calling to Bessie.

And here is a letter from old John

you were making soft soap that day.

But Bessie had run away to cry.

'I'll go to see her Sunday night. She
might pity me-ah, God, 1 couldn't bear
her pity when it's love want" He
shrugged his shoulders. Brace up,
John; you're degenerating into maudlin
sentimentality! I'll tell her it's busi-
ness chance I'm taking. She'll never
know about the lungs-until she's en-
gagged or married.
Stewart leaned back with a sigh Of
finality, for his plan of action, to which
he must hold with all his strength, was
thus outlined.
Then he gave himself to the ioy of
conjuring her UP before his mental
vision. He saw the mischievous sparkle
OF the gray eyes, the daintily rounded
chin, and the red, red lips. He felt
again the touch of her soft, little hand.
From all of which it may readily be
seen that Captain Stewart was very
much in love. indeed.
1t was Sunday noon when the train
reached Waterville. Church was tust
out, and there was a score of carriages
at the depot. Each vehicle was soon
surrounded by the returned soldiers.
for Company K was composed of Youth
with social standing. Captain Stewart
singled out the Madison carriage. Mar
jorie was seated within. It was cold.

there were roses on her breast Stew
art, with pang, saw that Callahan
was beside her. His roses!" he sighed.
Welcome home. soldierl" said Miss
Madison, with smiling little military
salute. II read of the terrible battles
of the Blues and the Browns. Did you
get wounded?" Then she noted his
tired eyes and the droop which he
could not keep out of mis- shoulders.
The smile died away. Have you been
sick?"
"Oh, I'm all right" replied Captain
Stewart, cheerfully, as he clasped the
proffered hand. Neither sick nor
wounded, and glad to be home. How

Got to leave, eh?,.. he chuckled- Say,
young woman, I'll bet you hairpin
there's mortgage on this farm. Isn't
1t so?"
Yes, SIR"
"And I'll bet another that it's held
by old John Doan. the old flint hearted
rascal. Come now"
Yes"
II thought So thought so. And.

He wants his money, of course. Z"

be hard-hearted to prevent people TAX

him and tell him just how things have

"Of course

Yes, quite enough"

tinued the old man as he looked her
up and down.

these questions? What right have

Tut, tut. young woman IT'S my
way to ask questions, and it should
be your way to answer them. Can
you split wood without hacking your
own feet off ?"
'I have done it."
"Um- You happen to know a thing
or two. Now, young lady, II you were
planting potatoes how many eyes
would you put in hill?"
The San Francisco call., 1904-03-06

She was silent a moment, gazing at
him steadily. He could not bear the
radiance of her eyes, and half turned
away. There was tremulous reproach
in her low voice when she spoke:
"Ah, Mr.. Stewart, what are friends
for if they will not share our troubles?
Do you not think enough Of me-of
u.s." she changed it quickly, and Stew
arts heart, which had bounded at her
words, sank again, ito let US into your
confidence? You are going to New
Mexico to fight consumption. DIR.
Church told papa and me this after
noon. And you would have kept ST.

"Yes," he replied, raising his head.
IT would have kept silent. Every one
has his troubles. 1t would hardly be
right to intrude mine. And then there
is no one who really cares
mo one who cares?"
"I have no near relatives" he said
simply. There are possibly score Of
people in Waterville who would say. II
they heard it, I hope Stewart gets bet
ter Then they'll forget all about me.
That isn't caring like ones own flesh

mo one at all to carer" There was
a suspicion of tears in Miss Madison's
voice.
The situation was becoming too much
for Stewards resolve. He arose. Il

though assured that the world would
be no more by midsummer. The big
kettle had been filled with lye from
the leach and a fire started under 1t,
and the hour was 2 o'clock in the
afternoon when Miss Bessie sat down
on the back doorstep out of the smoke
to think and plan for the future. In
the course of a quarter of an hour
she was so lost in her thoughts that
she vas obIivious Of her surroundings
and was jumped to her feet by hear
ing a harsh voice saying:
Young woman, don't you know that
kettle is boiling over and wasting the
lye?"
II was man of so who had entered
the front gate and passed around the
house. He was decently dressed, but
he was bowbacked and lame and his
snarling, stingy disposition could be
read IN his face.
Il say that the kettle is boiling
over" he repeated as she stared at
him and wondered who he could be.
1T seems to me that a girl of your
age ought to know enough to put a
stick across it. Perhaps, though,
you've got lye to throw away, or you
had rather think of marrying some
Prince than of making soft soap ?"
II was thinking" she stam-
mered.
Yes. 1 know. but it wasn't about
the soap. Young woman, when you
have anything on hand. attend to it
and let castle-building alone. Thinking
won't bring bread and butter"
Miss Bessie walked down to the fire
and rearranged it a bit, and then laid
a stick across the top OF the kettle TO
prevent another accident. While she
was doing this the old man sat down
OF the steps with a grunt and looked
around and muttered to himself. Pres
emily he called to her:
Young woman, is your father at
work anywheres about the farm?"

informed him.

gone far enough as a joke. It's get

I'm sorry 1t hurts, but it isn't a

He stared at her in amazement and
rumpled his hair thoughtfully with one
hand

said, half to himself. Don't drink to

A moment later the outer doc
banged and the usefulness Of Freder
ick had begun.
He did not come to see her the fol
lowing day nor the next. In fact
week passed before she saw hin
again, and then it was quite by acci
dent. She was walking down the ave
nue. one morning, and when she ha'
reached DIR. Lawrence's house a wen
known voice called. Hello. Etnei!
She turned. but he was not penin'
her; then she looked up ana oenei'
him standing on the ledge outside
second-story window. He was clad Il
faded blue overalls, and in one han'
