FROM THE
MILITARY SCHOOLS
PREFERENCE IN APPOINTMENTS
HERETOFORE GIVEN THEM
BY THE SECRETARY.
Army General Staff Finding Some DIFF
ficuIty by Lack of Uniformity in
Matter of Inspection-Trying to
Determine Six Best Military
Schools in Country.

Washington, d. c., June 13.-The
regular army, it is well known, has
for several years been given to schools
which furnish military training and
teaching. The policy has worked well
enough until recently. The army gen
eral staff is just 10Y finding it not so
easy as they wish to reach a decision
leges which are regarded by the au-
thorities as worthy in every way and
which are conducted according to the
requirements and regulations of the
military departments.
This year the inspections have been
made by officers designated by the di-
vision commanders, and it appears that
no general rule of observation has
been followed. Some additional in
formation will have to be forthcoming
in several of the colleges lest injustice
be lone in the final decision as to rel
atiYe merit. Consequently there has
been some talk of abolishing the GUS
tom of comparing colleges. 1t is COM
planned that it serves only to adver-
tise the institutions named, leading to
all kinds of protests and appeals from
those which show they feel they have
been sighted or subjected to The pre-
judice of inspecting officers. OF course
the advantage to the school named in
a departmental endorsement is that it
may quote the recognition in it's ad-
vertisement.
When Secretary Root adopted the
idea it was with the assurance that
the star graduates of the military
schools should be regarded as eligible
candidates for examination for ap,
pointment to commissions in the regu,
lar army. Now that there is no pros,
pect Tor places filled from civil life,
there is no reason left for naming the
schools, say the army officers who
have had to do with the embarrassing
problem of comparing the institutions,

CheerfuIness As a Ianic.

Cheerfulness, says Ruskin, is just
as natural to the heart of a mar in
strong health as color to his cheek;
and, wherever there is habitual gloom,
there must be either bad air, unwhole-
some food, improperly severe labor,
or erring habits of life. Cheerfulness
is the best promoter of health, re-
marks Addison. Repinings and muir
murings Of the heart give impercept-
ible strokes to those delicate fbres of
which the vital parts are composed,
and wear out the machine. Cheerful
ness is as friendly to the mind as to
the body.

Chief Stewart Matson, who speaks

sure that seemed to irritate him, Il shall

Not often in this worlds story has a
bride been more reso1utely unhappy dur
ing the few hours of freedom before her
wedding than was Ermyntrude that after
noon. The unavailing protestations of
the thoroughly alarmed Julie were not
soothing
you will not {; in such haste,
milddf?" cried the maid in great distress.
"Why not insist that the Prince content
himself until the arrival of Madame the
Countess.
Each hour of delay means graver risk
for my father and brother" said the dis
consulate girl.

country of snow!" commented Julie. g

AS it is, do not like it"
Hush. Juliei You do not know all
that l know. Thank Heaven, if do
not love my future husband l love none
other, and 1 may learn to appreciate
him in time!"
The FrenChwoman shook her head 1t
was not thus that she pictured the start
of new life for the young mistress
whom she idolized
1t would have been a relief were Ermyn-
trude able to Confide in the girl; but she
was true to her caste, and resisted the
temptation. After all was said and done,
she, the Prince, Lord Valletort and her
brother seemed to be more or less the
victims of circumstances. Prince Boris
had refused to invite Madame Schenck to
Bannofka that evening because he too
disliked the manner of their COntem-
plated union and forebore publishing the
fact to the larger circle outside the palace.
That, at least, was how she read his curt
refusal, and she was partly right.
So perturbed was she that when the
time came to dress for the ceremony she
selected a travelling costume of black
cloth.
"Oh no, miIadi," protested the scan
dalized Julie, that will not be coHUeNable!
If one must wed, it is as we'll to be gay.
Who would ever think of going to the
church in such temperature, wearing
sealskins and felt boots Anyhow, mi
ladi must look her best Here is a
skating costume of salmon color. 1t is
not a wcdding-dress, the good Lord
knows! but it is better than black"
Ermyntrude cared not a jot This was

price demanded for the lives of those
dear to her. She would pay it and be
thankful. But her real marriage, if ever

who opened the chapel for the marriage
ceremony took care to be numerous and
well supplied with lights; nor We're they
too anxious to enter the gloomy galleries
or examine the ruined chambers of the
neighboring castle, even if such precau-
tions were deemed necessary.
Seldom has British-born maiden of high
degree made such strange preparations
for her wedding as those carried out by
Lady Ermyntrude Grandson To save
her father and brother from deadly peril
she would fulfil her compact to the letter.
They must be set at liberty Immediately;
they all must be free to depart for Eng
land at the first possible moment; and if
ever she became Princess Melnikoff in
other than name it must be of her own
unfettered volition. These conditions
were unalterable. The Prince had
plighted his word to obey them. She
knew that her only danger lay in the
interval between the marriage and the
arrival of her relatives.
To make that interval as short as pos
sible, to protect herself in the meantime,
were primary considerations Among
her brothers belongings, several days
earlier, she had found small loaded re-
volver 1t was easy to construct a
pocket in an underskirt and carry the
weapon concealed. She was firmly re-
solved that either she or Prince Melnikof
should die ere the promise under which
she married him was broken.
The release of the prisoners was an
other question. Thinking it over, she
sent her maid to ask Prince Melnikoff to
see her for an instant
How do you purpose to obtain the
freedom of my father and brother?"
she asked when he hastened to her.

account" he answered. The messcn-
ger who brought Lord Valletort's letter
has returned with a message from me
briefly announcing our contemplated
marriage. When the Prior of Dukhof
signs the register, the book will be car
ried to the monastery. and with it, if
YOU think fit, letter from you to your
father
THE register alone will be accepted
as evidence by the men who are safe
guarding the prisoners. On its produc-
ton, Lord Valletort and his son will
be sent here at once. Of course your
letter would expedite it,
At what hour are we to be mar
ried?'
At nine O'Clock"
And when may l expect to see
them?"
About eight hours later"
You know where they are. them"
"No. l can only guess the time from
the guarded statements made by the
messenger"
Very well, l shall have the letter in
readiness"
AS he turned to leave her, little smile
lit his face for a moment.

get married every day. VIII you sup
with me after the ceremony"
Not morsel had she eaten in his COM
pany since the night of the attack.
"Alone?" she inquired.
"Unhappily, Bannofka is denuded of
guests" he said, and there was touch
of impatience in his voice,
