For one minute the women looked
at each other. and then shrieked with
laughter. The sounds reached the ears
of Commander Gay, and he ground his
teeth in helpless rage.
oh Il the message hadn't been
from his superior officer! II only he
could have had tine to steam back
and land his guests. That his dinner
for Miss Mapleson should be Interrupt
ted, ruined. for the sake of a govern
mental COW that had fallen overheard
-aw-r-r-r-rt' Gay stamped the deck
and muttered incoherently; and all
the time they were steaming
rapidly toward the little island in the
center of the bay,
AS they approached the island, they
saw the poor animal in the water kept
afoat by two soldiers in a small boat
stationed to support her head. And
then, little nearer and the stalwart
form of Captain Henderson was dis
cernible on the wharf.
Glad you've come, Gay. Get the
poor brute out as soon as you can, will
you?" said Henderson, cheerfully, as
he came on deck Gay was incapable
of "A reply permissible in addressing

As Gay worked to land the animated
lawn-mower, his rival again stormed
the much weakened garrison. A few
stern questions, promptly answered
proved conclusively that the dispatch
of war had been tempered with, and
this point settled, Che storming party
went on to sketch the terms of surren-
der in such a pleading manner put
ting it, in fact, in such an altogether
charming light, that the garrison
sweetly and gently capihIlated, and
there was peace.
So taken up were they with more
important subjects that neither the
victor nor the captive thought to ask
Gay about the note, and his deliberately
prepared explanation was not even
called for
I'm going over TO the station with

the sullen commander on the shoulder

From the age of three months until
fifteen years old. my son Owens life
was made intalerahle by eczema in its

disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in

through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
of the worst cases ever admitted
From each he was discharged as in

Gays heart could have been softened,
the captains detected attitude would
have done #, but instead, the picture
of the defeated foe seemed to inspire
him with a fiendish cruelty, and wait,
ing for the boat to get Just out OF

Hard luck that you cant see Miss

"What?" shouted the astonished
Henderson, thinking he had not heard
Alright,
Il say Miss Mapleson is going to-

But Gay only smiled sweetly. Then
he delivered his parting shot-it was
mean, he knew it-but he just couldn't
help it;
Shes coming aboard the Walrus
for dinner he called through his
hands, and left Captain Henderson act
ing like man on wires, and shouting
indistinguishable language that had
the general sound of being rather
strong. "Alls fair in love and war"
quoth Gay as he went below to dress
for dinner.
Unfortunately, the dinner was not
the success he had expected, for, de-
lightful host that he was and presiding
over delicious and charmingly served
meal, he was unable to arouse Miss
Mapleson who sat sadly distract, and
the conversation was chiefly carried
on by Gay and the chaperen-a not
very enliyening process, when one
does not care for the chaperon
Gay struggled manfully however,
and was Just bending forward to pay
Miss Maples0n most impressive com.

cabin with a dispatch. As Gay read
it, his face underwent the most alarm
ing changes-his eyes fairly popped
from his head-his face, at first ashen,
suddenly turned a deep purple, and
finally. choking with indispensable
emotions, he hurriedly excused himself
and rushed on deck,
In his excitement Gay had thrown
the dispatch face upward on the table,
and Miss Mapleson read the following
official message:

Oxford university is not the only
seat of learning that has conferred an
honorary degree ON Mark Twain. A
similar tribute was paid to the famous
humorist and philosopher not so many
years ago by a humble institution at a
sleepy Missouri village that had known
him when he was playing Tom Sawyer
there in real life.

day in June when newspapers general

of everything in the way of news.
One Park Row news editor raked
the land with figurative fne-tooth
comb and got a dry haul for his pains.
Then, recalling that Mark Twain was
getting his honorary degree that very
day in his native hamlet it occurred to
him that message direct from the
famous author might relieve the stu
alton in the news, After much scratch
ing of the editorial idea factory he
evolved this query, which was trans.
mitted To Mark Twain by wire:
How does it feel to be a doctor of

characteristic response came hot over
