LEO d. HEARTT.
The log cabin Democrat., 1909-11-13

1 the Philippines; nice guardian he was By a natural enough transition, his thoughts swerved to his own brief and not altogether happy married life. He thought of the graves in Arizona where he had left his wife and his two children, and his heart felt heavy. To escape musings which grew drearier every second, he cast his eyes about the motley crowd shuf in the massive dark oaken seats And it was then that he saw Cary Mercer At first he did not recognize the face He only gazed indifferently at two well-dressed men who sat some paces away from him in the shadow of a There was this difference, it happened: the mission lantern with it's electric bulbs above the two men was flashing brightly, and by some accident that above the colonel was dark. He could see the men, himself in the shadow.
 The men were rather striking in ap- pearance; they were evidently gentle men; the taller one was young, well set-up, clean-shaven and quietly but most correctly dressed. His light brown hair showed slight curl in it's closely clipped locks; his gray-blue eyes had long lashes of brown darker than his hair; his teeth were very white, and there was dimple in his cheek, plain when he smiled. Had his nose been straight he would have been as handsome as a Greek god, but the nose was only an ordinary American nose, rather too broad at the base i; moreover, his jaw was little too square for classic lines. Nevertheless he was good to look upon, as well as strong and clean and wholesome, and when bis gray-blue eyes strayed about the room the dimple dented his cheek and his white teeth gleamed in kind of merry good-nature pleasant to see But it was the other man who held the colonels eye. This man was double the young mans age. or near that he was shorter, although still of fair stature, and slim of build. His IsACe was ONdl III duu utii cate of feature. Although he wore nc glasses, his brow had the far pucker of a near-sighted man There was a mole on his cheek bone and another just below his ear. Both were small rather than large, and in no sense disfguring; but the colonel noted them absently, being in the habit oi photographing man in a glance. The face had beauty, distinction even, vel about it hung some association, sinis ter as poison label.
 Now, where" said the colonel tc himself, where have seen tha man?" Almost instantly the clew came to him. By love, it's the broth er!" he exclaimed Three years ago and he had almost forgotten; but here was Cary Mercer-the name came tc him after a little groping-here he was again; but who was the pleasant youngster with him? And what were they discussing with so little apparent and so much real earnestness?

and he had added the deed for a little house in the suburbs of Chicago.
 If Haley wouldn't eenlist-there never was a better soldier since he had downed foolish young hankering for wild times and whisky-if he wouldn't go back to the army, where he belonged, let him settle down, take up the honest carpenters trade that he had abandoned, be good citizen and marry little Nora to some class mate in the high school, who might make a fortune and build her a colonial mansion, should the colonial still obtain in the twentieth century
 The colonel had spread a grand prospect before Haley, who listened unresponsively. dumb pain in his wide blue Irish eyes. The colonel hated it; but. somehow, he hated worse the limp look of Haley's back as he watched it dwindle down Mich igan avenue.
 However, Mrs Haley had been more dering She seemed very grateful over the house and the $500 for its | furnishing. A birthday present, he had termed 1t. with flicker of hu- nor because the day was his own birthday. His fiftieth birthday 1t hap pened to be, and it occurred to him that a man ought to do something a little notable on such an anniversary. | This rounding of the l:alf-century had attributes apart; it was no mere an nual birthday; it marked the last van ishing flutter of the gilded draperies tof youth; the whitening of the gar lands the fading tinkle of the light music of hope. It should mark mans solid achievements. Once, not so long ago, Winter had believed that h.S | fiftieth birthday would see wide and l beneficent and far-reaching results In 1 the province where he ruled. That dream was shattered. He was gen erous of nature, and he could have been content to behold another reap the fields which he had sowed and titled; it was the harvest, whether his or another's, for which he worked; but his had been the bitter office to have to stand aside, with no right to pro- test, and see his work go to waste be- cause his successor had a feeble brain and a pusillanimous caution in place of his own dogged will. For all these reasons, as well as others, the colonel found no zest in his fiftieth birthday; and his reverie drifted dismally from one somber reflection to another until i 1t brought up at the latest wound to his heart-his favorite brothers death.
 There had been three Winter broth ers-Rupert, Melville and Thomas. During the past year both Thomas Winter and his wife had died, leaving one child, boy of IA, named Archi- bald after his fathers uncle. Rupert Winter and the boys greataunt, the widow of the great uncle, were ap- pointed joint guardians of the young Archie. Tonight, in his jaded mood, he was assailed by reproaches be- cause he had not seen more of his ward. Why, he hadn't so much as looked the little chap up when he passed through Fairport-merely had gent hi& Q letter and some truck from
