She certainly doesn't refrain from do- | ing so when 1 am about. This affair has turned out very differently from what l expected I supposed there would be two Richmonds in the field Cadet and Captain Morris. There is but one-a ''cit." and his name is Mer- ton
 Sept 13. Marian has today encouraged me to be friendly. Her inciinations are de- cidedly with the army. and we chatted all the morning about army people. She said that she would like to make me her confdant in order that she might ask my advice as to a point of honor as 1t would be considered among army people. I urged her to do so. promising that would advise her to the best of my ability, but she said the matter was a very delicate one and she couldn't bring herself to speak of 1t except to a very intimate friend
 Sept. IA The ax has fallen. and my head has rolled into the basket This afternoon Marian made me her confidant and asked my advice. She told me of her affair with me when I was a cadet; said that she had met no one since i that she liked so well till she met Mer- | ton She confessed that she was going out to marry me. but she had changed her mind and would like to accept Merton and go around the world with him on wedding trip. The point of honor referred to was whether this change of front would be considered dishonorable in the army. If 1t would she preferred to stand by her old love | told her that it would be incumbent upon her to state the case to her fiance l frankly and that no officer of the army could fail to release her without being condemned by his fellows. When she asked me whether she would be blamed for such a course by her army | friends and acquaintances I told her | that if she proceeded as 1 had indi- cated her fiance would exonerate her and that would render her blameless
 Sept 15 l I wish I had taken Hawkins advice and let this matter alone. Marian and 1 could have been married in San Francisco. and then Marian would not have met this baldheaded old coot that she has fallen in love with He's fully ten years her senior and nothing but "cit." I've intended to win her i from a boy, and this old duffer has won her from me. man just entering on his prime. If the fool killer is aboard he'll surely take me. Besides losing my girl, I'll be the laughing stock of the whole army. Hawkins, nota bene. If you give me away I'll murder you. No one but you knows my part in this affair, and unless you tell Tn be considered by some an injured man. If you do tell I'll be regarded a fool by alb
 Sept. 17. Had a talk with Marian today as to what course she had better pursue on arrival. She gave up her fiance's name at last-my name. I told her that it was quite possible that on arrival Cap tain Morris might not be able to meet her. 1 also advised her to go to Colonel B.'s. as she has arranged, anu Luett MorEis tuefe. teAiuS uihi the whole story st once without keep ing him waiting
 In Port. Colonel and Mrs. B. came aboard to meet Marian. I was obliged to confine myself to my statersom to prevent giy- ing the whole thing away. I saw them through the porthole coming and going Marian went ashore with them. She looked as happy as if she hadn't chang ed lovers between shores. I should think she would dread the meeting that's to come of with me, at which she is to tell me that must make way for another, and that after her making long voyage to marry me. Merton didn't go ashore with the party. unawares and preferred to have him out of the way till the scene with me is all over with.
 I wonder how she'll look when she learns that the man she has traveled with, whom she has made her confi- dant and who has advised her as to the standard of army honor is the man l chc ushS 6chC Do~h ous ny SO'S, what climax for a play. Only I'd rather take the part of the other fel- low. I shall be as magnanimous as possible--not blame her in the least, but, of course, I may let it be known how deeply l am wounded.
 In Quarters. Nothing has happened as intended or expected. have been nerving myself for one climax, and there has been an- other. l waited till all the army peo- pie had gone ashore. then sneaked ashore myself. feeling ashamed of the part I had been playing and dreading the meeting at which I was to get the grand bounce During the afternoon a note came from Marian saying that she was at Colonel B.'s and would be ready to receive me at 6. Mrs. B. invited me to dine at 2.
 I deferred my visit till 6-30 and wished I could omit it entirely. Marian received me standing and as soon as she saw me rushed forward and threw herself into my arms.
