ercise my muscles, and little white
f1b now and then won't hurt anybody.
Come along"
Dora finally gathered up her stock
ing bag and. with suggestion Of
take your life in your hand" express
sion, started down the hill with Julia.
Several of the hotel employees were
about the float and helped the girls to
find boat that was fairly clean. One
Of them stepped up, saying: Are you
going to row yourself, Miss Abbot?
Puget sound is bit tricky at times.
and the harbor is pretty full Of boats
just now. Better take man along"
Il don't want a man along. That's
just why l am going for a row-to get
rid of the men. The piazza is full of
them, and anyway Mrs. Mills and
are both good swimmers. Push her of,
John"
Julia seemed to pull pretty good
stroke for a girl who had said i'll pres
ence of witnesses that she could not
row. and soon Dora's frightened ex
preston had faded into one Of content
as soft breeze blew across her fore
head.

An Incident of War.

In the midst of battle General Full
Ter was trying to check the fight Of
panic stricken men. One poor fellow
came stumbling along, not needing a
word that was said to him. Indignant
and impatient, Fuller, as he came near
this man, leaned from his horse and,
touching him with his sword, said
sharply, go back, sir!'' The man
looked up with an expression Of an
guish and despair on his face that said
as plainly as words, II am looking for
a place to die" He opened his blouse
and showed big, gaping wound in his
breast. Then he dropped to the
ground. The general instantly dis
mounted, but almost as he raised the
mans head to his arm the poor fellow
breathed his last.

said as they offered her assistance.
''She is really very much frightened.
Please row her over here, and then we
can 60 home"
Julia climbed up the gangway in her
dripping raiment and sank into a chair
that the pilot offered her. The girl
was wreck in more ways than one.
'I'll be all right in minute" she
said to the pilot-"just as soon as
can get my breath. You see, my friend
lost her bag overheard, and I-well,
just fell reaching for it. Awfully stu

"Was there money in the bag or

concern.

piled Julia as she held up to his view

say, Conroy, come along here and see

Julia did not laugh, but sat up very
straight when the name of Conroy was
mentioned. How silly, she thought
Conroy is simple enough name, and

steamer chair. But not for very long
A tall, pale and sickly looking face
appeared at the door, peering around
in search of the rescued party. His
glance finally fell upon Julia and met
hers, and the college girl who had won
medals for her bravery and muscle
was just woman enough to faint as
she gasped his name.
| In a moment or two he was at bel

around the deck.
