headed by the band, fled into the
grounds singing Nearer, My God, to
Thee" and safe in the Arms of Je-

the boys and girls surrounded the tomb
in a great circle, the cadet officers
broke up bouquets, handing the flowers
TO little girls dressed in white, who
then scattered them over the tomb.
A feature of the services was the
singing of 4.Pauahi K-e Alii.' dedicated
to Mrs. Bishop, and sung by a grand
chorus of 325 voices.

In the house where Colonel Sale was
a guest he enjoyed the perfect liberty OF
an old and dear comrade It was not
until the fourth day that he could think
of his purpose resolutely. The Wharfe
was in spate then, after a rain among
the hills. and he went out to fish with
worm below those woods in which the
Strid IS situated. His host being no
fisherman, Colonel Sale took with him,
by an arrangement made overnight. an
old water bailiff OF whom he was fond.
They reached the Strid about the
luncheon hour. The spate had fallen
and left the rocks exposed, and the
place looked more than ever fitting for
his design, suicide TO be accomplished
without suspicion in another mans
presence. Colonel Sale took a dram
with him and ate a sandwich, and they
watched the water thunder down. IT is

step desperately taken, stood rooted
where he was. He had setn Jack Al

Jack advanced quite slowly. until his
pert little figure showed complete. from
Panama hat to brown shoes. He was
looking intent at first, as II ne had not
recognized his friend. but his red face
relaxed in the funny little smile down
his nose that Sale knew. He danced a
little dance above the torrent, came
out on the point Of the dipping rock
and dropped over.
Colonel Sale let him speak the first
word. IL was dumb show, like every
thing else he had done in the cataract's
roar. and. for the first time in life, the
man who would have relinquished life
so boldly was at a loss from fear.
Jacks living and warm grasp gave him
great shock, moreover. Instantly. he

Jack swore at the war for it. yet
thought it strange In such a gallant
man. He was pulled up to the fringe of

was not endurable: he waited FOR some

IT. and then set about with elaboration
to put his friend at ease.
He said, very quietly: Il know what
you're thinking Of. Art"
The colonel controlled himself with
difficulty. He had little doubt left just
at that moment that Jack had seen
