his face. He felt himself going dead white
for half breath the world had reeled be-
fore him. You better go back to the
house, lady he said. his voice breaking
the least bit at the pet name.
AS she ran from him he dropped his head
against the colts neck, and stood for a
second shaking with ague. But even before
he heard the gate shut behind Elizabeth
he was leading the luckless beast toward it.

After the bars We're up and fastened he
stood by them long time. his chin on
his folded arms, staring into the thick

not angry with Elizabeth, only immeas-
urably hurt. She had tainted him as her
despoiler-he could not deny that he de-

aboard in order, their blankets on their
backs, their canteens filled, their guns upon
tnelr shoulders, each company increased to
siXty-fve men. Although the Presidents
command had not been received over the
wireless until 1856 pm, before the night
mad passed troop trains had moved from
these nine widely scattered sections of the
country, and before the sun had risen the
first expedition was moving post haste

the officials and clerks of our two great

put large parts of our army and navy on
war footing.
Establishing Base of Supplies.
At Newport News 200 acres of land on
the river bluffs above the city were leased
from land company as a site for mill
tary base of supplies for the mobiizing
army. Preparations for establishing a great
commissary depot and camp We're rushed,
and from Fort Monroe two companies of
coast artillery were dispatched to guard
this point of concentration.

The quartermaster general was fully pre-

the moving of the army from there to Cuba.
Some of these vessels had been originally

done toward converting them into trans

Misunderstanding Purchase of Supplies
A deal for the purchase of over 500 ami
nals-located through emergency card of
three days before-was at once closed by
the commissary general by wire, in less
time than the average farmer would eXpend
in swapping hogs with neighbor. This
transaction involved $50 cavalry horses, 800

must surely be fit and ready.
Trained and in the pink of condition he
would be worth price. b lly's heart
leaped he thought of paying Elizabeth
of again feeling himself in the masters
place. Elizabeth had shown no signs of
relenting-but that was her way-she would
die rather than speak first. When he had
paid his debt he would ask pardon so
humbly, so tenderly. she could not but for
give. Yet until the debt was paid he could
do nothing save keep to his own conditions
He had found them cruelty hard. but was
not the sort to whine over anything or MS
own doing.
So time ran on to the bright April after
noon when Bentley was s to fetch out the
racing commissioner. Billy was In wait
for them upon the lawn, with the Dig

broken down, Robin is worth lot-we can't
prize too highly blood that can run as he
showed he could run today"
Billy returned the grip in silence then
went out to where Robin stood-a woeful
Robin, no longer CALAMITY highheaded, but
legs. when he had first come to Long
Meadow. Billy knew what had done the
mischief-t was the leap-the strain of it,
and that last stretching run But with
his own bondage all the rest of his days
was not too much to pay for the boy.
Silently he took Robins halter-compas-
sionate hands had already unsaddled him,
ward. plodding laggardly, and never dar-
ing to look into Robins eyes. He rested
often along the way-willfully-he wanted
Elizabeth to be quite herself before they

boys sake-but he must do something

al last to the home gate. AS before Eliza

time she did not stop to look at him. In

you amt never lost him, lady" Billy
said. letting his hand fall lightly upon her
shoulder. She nestled against him but still
chung to Robin, saying between sobs: Lad
-you-shall-stay here-all your life. And
nobody shall ever hurt you-again."
She stood to that obstinately, although
Bentley and the rich mans commissioner
tried hard to move her. Ragged Robin was
wanted at Grasslands-wanted badly. al
though he would never race-hardly even
ever run again. And Billy was quite con-
tent that she should have her will. Billy,
you see, was VIGOROUSLY impractical, withal
soft-hearted. Owing Robin much. he
wanted to pay part of it with a long life Of
ease and happy comraderie.

Head Nets to Keep Off Mosquitoes

was yellow jack After the thorough
housekeeping which General Leonard
Wood gave the island this enemy remained
away for several years; but in the very
face of the Presidents call for this expedi-
ton came the report of seven cases of the
dread fever, all new within the week So
a full supply of mosquito bars and head
nets for all troops was ordered.

There are quite a number of interesting
/ paintings by local artists now on view in
the Morrey galleries, on C street which,
during the, past summer, have been at
tractively refitted and greatly enlarged.
or special moment are two landscapes by
Mr.. Richard N. Brooke the president of
the Society of Washington Artists; some
sheep pictures by Mr. r. LIE Grand john
ston, and a view near Rockville painted
by Mr. Carl Gutherz. The first formal ex-
hibition to be held in these galleries will,
1t Is understood, be composed of modern
Dutch paintings.
Miss Berta NJ. Hanson and Miss Mary A.
kirkup have taken studios together on
the first floor of the Lehman building
where, 1t has been announced. they pro-
pose opening a private art school this
autumn -on conducted after European
methods, in which, however. the study of
design Shall be given prominent place.
Miss Hanson was a pupil of Mr.. Helmicll,
as we'll of the Corcoran school, and has
had the honor of being one of the few
American girls admitted to the Ecole des
Beaux Arts, in Paris. While in Europe
she spent several months In Madrid, and
in her studio now is a series of copies
| which she made in the great gallery there
of Velasquezs paintings. She is al present
engaged upon number of portraits. Miss
Kirkup is principally a landscape painter
a graduate of the Chicago Art Institute
She too studied abroad and her work from
time to time has appeared in the local
exhibitions. She has brought back with
her quite a collection of outdoor sketches
in water color from her summer outing in
the northern woods.
On the sixth floor of the Lehman build
ing where Mr.. Powell and Mr.. Johnston
have long been domiciled, and where Mr.
Walter King Stone once occupied a studio
Miss Loretta Lowenstein, Miss Constance
White and Mrs. Anna b. Sloane have now
found quarters. Miss Lowenstein gives
her attention chiefly to illustrative work
and has during the past year produced
along this line some excellent things which
have been brought out by current maya
zines of good standing. Miss Constance
White devotes herself almost exclusively
to the pictorial representation of animals
for which she has peculiar and marked
ability. All summer she has worked at the
Geological Park, and now for the further
ance of her art she is about to take up the
study Of anatomy. Mrs. Sloane is a native
of Sweden, a graduate of the Decorative
and Industrial Art Teachers Training
School at Kristinehamn. and one-time prin.
cipal of the Mariestad School of Industrial
Arts.
