ANOTHER LITTLE WAR
BY M. j. PHILLIPS.
Copyright, 1904, by M. j. Phillips.

Colonel Wood had always approved
of Richard Beaufort. the son of his
best friend. The young Richard had
grown from a manly boy into a stall
wart, manly man. And now the Colo
neVs dearest wish seemed coming
true, for Beaufort, with a smiling en-
barrassment which sat well on his
handsome face, had confessed his love
for the Coloners one eve lamb. and
asked for her hand in marriage.
Il have not spoken to Grace" Beau
fort was saying; II hoped to find her
in this afternoon. But l am glad I've
told you"
And so am l, Dick" smiled the
older man. II don't know anyone I'd
rather have for a son-in-law. in view
of the fact that son-in-law, like old
age and taxes, can be relied upon to
put in an appearance. And you

you don't imagine my money would
make any difference with Grace, do
you? If 1 thought so, 1 wouldn't be
here now
The other nodded slowly. True
enough. The money wouldn't. But
we're talking nonsense: Grace knows
your father and have been planning
a match between you two since YOU
were in long clothes. Her future in
life has been fixed; she is to marry
you and live happy ever after"
I'm ready and willing to fulfil my
part in that horoscope" replied the
young man, his ready smile returning,

out the form of the rebel sentry as
plainly as though etched on canvas.
The wind had torn the SLOUGH hat
from his head, but he sang on, bowling
to the fury of the gusts:
"Other refuge have l none,

Wood weighed the consequences and

scious appeal for mercy, would be
