colonels daughter Marian no one IN
the garrison could And out. Before the
captain evinced such aspirations his
commander showed an especial par
tiality for the young officer, who was
the most popular man at the post.
The change can only be accounted for
In that distaste of father to giving
up his daughter to any man.
The colonel carried his antagonism
against the captain so FAR as to keep
his eye open for derelictions Of duty
on the part Of his inferior. Did the
captain when called upon to report In
person at his commanders headquar-
tiers do so with d single button on his
uniform coat unbnttoned he was sure

service. Pluner soon saw the ncces-
sity OF constant watchfulness. but he
was very absentmInded, and no care
was suficient to head on the colonel's
reprimands. The whole garrison was
cognizant Of this injustice, and, since
all the world loves a lover, every one
sympathized with the captain.
One morning when Plumer was OFF,
Ger OF the day, Colonel Prlm, looking
out Of the window OF his quarters, saw
him crossing the parade without his
sword. Raising the sash, he ordered
his subordinate TO come up. Fortu-
nately for the captain, an officer was
passing. and Plumer, borrowing his
sword. hooked 1t to his belt. then
mounted to his colonel. whom he sa-

generations.
With the introduction of improved
machinery In many lines Of production
