''Then he went off about his work.
Toward noon he came back to see how
the fellow was getting along and found
he had plowed a rambling furrow all
over the field and was still at it.
"'Herev he shouted. What do you
mean by that sort of workT
"'Why,' said the man, you told me
to pillow to the red cow, and I've been
blowing toward her all morning, but
she keeps walking all over the field
"Now, I'll admit, gentlemen, that
you told me to pillow to a red COW, but

Announcing an

Daisy Leonard and Jack Rawlinson
had been engaged for two years and
nobody knew it. 1t was Daisy's own
idea to keep the affair a secret. There
seemed to her deep romance in hav-
ing what the novels termed hidden
love-" and besides a girl could have so
much more fun when she was not tick

lar man, and so checked off the list Of
possible girls to be invited to picnlcs
and escorted to dances by all the other
nice young men.
She was sure Of Jack, who adored
her, and way down beneath the frivo-
lous surface of her heart she loved him
very much, but at the same time a girl
who has always had her own way and
been the center of a crowd of admirers
does not want to give it all up.
At least Daisy didn't. She was
spoiled child and was quite accustomed
to having her own way. All her life she
had done what she Wished rather than
what her mother had told her Finally
Mrs. Leonard wearied of struggling
along without a husband and with "a
headstrOng daughter for so many
years. In June she had married again
and gone abroad for the summer, and
Daisy had been sent to the mountains
with her aunt and a family of cousins
Jack, who worked in the city. came
up now and then for a day or two,
when Daisy treated him just about as
she did some half dozen young men
who were all her devoted admirers.
One day she and Jack had strolled off
to a big rock which overhung the lake

Why Colonel Prim opposed Captain
Flumer In his suit for the hand Of the
coloners daughter Marian no one In
the garrison could find out. Before the
captain evinced such aspirations his
commander showed an especial par
tiallty for the young officer, who was
the most popular man at the post.
The change can only be accounted for
Ia that distaste of q father to giving
up his daughter to any man.
The colonel carried his nntagonism
against the captain so far as to keep
his eye open for derellctions of duty
on the part of his inferior Did the
captain when called upon to report In

the whole company a disgrace to the
service. Plumer soon saw the neces-

was very absentminded, and no care
was sufficient to head off the coloners
reprimands. The whole garrison was
cognizant Of this injustice, and, since
all the world loves a lover, every one

There was a sound of mems voices and
also of women's, but Jack heard just
one rising above all the rest in excited
tones.
"But I'm different" she said, "and
must see him. I'm engaged to be
married to him" 1t was the sweetest
thing he had ever heard.
In a moment she was bending over
him.
Sweetheart" she murmured.
He tried to speak.
FLUSH, you mustn't say a word. Wait

with true feminine inconsistency she
bent over and asked him a question.
For answer he threw his arms around
her neck and kissed her.
