and the possibilities suggested BY
Monte Carlo were too alluring to the
host to admit of q long stop at O.

to one Of the officers Of the garrison,
and Brewster could not overlook the
opportunity to give an elaborate din

best be judged by the fact that the
Filters larder required an entirely
new stock the next day. The officers
and ladies Of the garrison 'were asked,
and Monty would have entertained the
entire regiment with beer and sand
witches If his friends had ! not inter-
fered.

out to dinner. For the others there
were many compensations, as the at
fair was brilliant and the new element
a pleasant relief from the inevitable
monotony.
