thorough soldier, born into the service
and deeply enamored of it's dangers;
yet beyond this he remained man,
young man, swayed by those emotions
which when at full tide sweep aside
all else appertaining to life
His had been a lonely life since
leaving West Point and joining his
regiment life passed largely among
rough men and upon the desolate
plains. For months at time he had
known nothing of refinement. nor en-
joyed social intercourse with the OPP
posite sex Yet, beneath his mask of
impassibility, the heart continued to
beat with fierce desire, hiding the time
when it should enjoy its own sweet
way. Perhaps that hour had already
dawned; certainly something new,
something inspiring, had now come to
awaken an interest unfelt before, and
leave him idly dreaming of Swallowed
eyes and flushed, rounded cheeks.
He, was in this mood when he over
took the Rev. Howard Wynkoop and
marked the thoughtful look upon his
pale face.
Il called at your camp" explained
Wynkoop, after the first words of
greeting had been exchanged, las soon
as 1 learned you were here in COM
mand, but only to discover your abb
sence- The sergeant, however, was
very courteous, and assured me there
would be no difficulty in arranging a
religious service for the men, unless
sudden orders should arrive. No
doubt 1 may rely on your coopera-
ton"
Most certainly" was the cordial
response, land 1 shall also permit
those desiring to attend your regular
Sunday services so long as we are sta
toned here. How is your work pros
pering?"
There is much to encourage me,
but spiritual progress is slow, and
there are times when my faith fa1ters
and 1 feel unworthy of the service in
which 1 am engaged
"A mining camp is so intensely ma
terial seven days of the week that it
must present a difficult field for the
awakening of any religious senti-
ment," confessed Brant sympathetica1-
ly. Il have often wondered how you
consented to bury your talents in such
a place"
The other smiled, but with a trace
of sadness in his eyes. 'I firmly be-
lieve that every minister should de-
vote a portion of his life to the doing
of such a work as this. 1t is both a
religious and patriotic duty, and
there is a rare joy connected with it."
Yet it was surely not joy saw pic
tured within your face when we met;

Romance TO-DAY.

To our forefathers each new mani
festation was a matter of ocular ex-
citement. The fingers of the cotton
gin took the place of human fingers.
At the coming of ether an amputation
was transformed from a scene of tor
ture to placid process in mechanics.
Crowds gathered to see Fulton's devil
boat churn its way slowly up the Hud-
son, or to watch the first locomotive
putting and clanking through the
meadows. Even with the development
of electricity wires stretched taut
against the sky: the strand of cable
might be seen as it began its plunge
beneath the Atlantic. Yet it has re-
manned for the matter-of-fact utiliza-
ton of wireless telegraphy to bring
us, in science, the height of romance
says Golfers Weekly. To-day a mer-
chant wishes to telegraph to his buyer
in London; forthwith his half-dozen
words are shot to the tip of a pole be-
side the seashore, fiieked into the sky,
and sucked out of space to lonely
spar on the cost of Ireland. There is
here as much magic of romance as
the world ever SEEN

problem"
Wynkoop glanced up quickly,
slight flush rising in his pale cheeks.
ePerplexing questions which must be
decided off-hand are constantly aris-
ing. And just now I scarcely know
what action to take regarding certain
applications for church membership"
Brant laughed. 4 hardly consider
myself a competent adviser in matters

Theoretically, yes" And the min

But your elders? Do not they share

CHAPTER XIV.
In Honor of Miss Spencer.


Mr.. Jack Moffat, president of the
Bachelor Miners Pleasure club, had
embraced the idea of a reception for
Miss Spencer with unbounded enthu-
siasm Indeed, the earliest conception
of such an event found birth within
his fertile brain, and from the first he
determined upon making it the most
notable social function ever known in
that portion of the territory.
The large space above the Occi-
dental was secured for the occasion,
the obstructing subdivisions knocked
away, an entrance constructed with an
outside stairway leading up from va
cant lot, and the passage connecting
the saloon boarded up Incidentally,
Mr. Moffat took occasion to announce
that if "any SnooZer got drunk and
came up them stairs" he would be
thrown bodily out of window. Mr..
Mcneil, who was observing the pre-
liminary proceedings with deep inter
est from a pile of lumber opposite,
sarcastica1ly intimated that under such
circumstances the attendance of club
members would be necessarily limited.
Mr. Moffat's reply it is manifestly i'm
possible to quote literally Mrs Cuff

site refreshments in the palatial din

When Friendship Becomes Affection.

When Friendship Becomes Affection.
1t is difficult, sometimes, for a young
woman to understand when the male
friend who is regularly calling upon
her has become SO interested in her
that his friendship has warmed into
affection On the other hand, a man
is frequently a little puzzled to know
how far he can pay attentions of a
purely friendly character to girl
without leading the recipient to sup
pose he means more than is actually
the case He does not necessarily
wish to amuse himself without going
toe far. He merely desires to express
his feelings of friendliness and court
esy without the danger of misconcep-
ton on her part There are many
little cfvilities of everyday life to be
exchanged between man and woman
upon which only ignorance could put
warmer construction than was
meant, says the New York Weekly.
He can ride with her, row with her,
skate with her He can do a score OF
little things of this sort. But there
are certain things he cannot do. He
cannot offer her presents of any great
value; offer his escort to places,
whether she is accompanied or unac-
companied by chaperon. He cannot
single her out from other girls or re-
sent other men paying her exactly the
same attentions as himself. These
are the marks of a warmer feeling.
