herself that last night had been queer,
as queer as queer could be; but this

sure, even under their drippings, that
the "damnable dust" was alive.
Down the broad slopes that were
swept by the drive all was green to

great parade.ground. set In the nat

like a childs toy. pretty and little.

preoccupation 1t did not occur to
Flora that they were arriving Just in

around the last white curve into the

turned. as II with a fresh idea.
Wouldn't you like to stop and
watch it?"
why, yes" Flora assented. The
brilliance of light and color, the pre-.
cision Of movement, the sound Of the
brasses under the open sky were an
intermezzo In harmony with her spir.
tied mood.
The carriage stopped under the
scanty shadow Of trees that bordered
the walk to the officers quarters.
Clara, book in haud, alertly rose.
"I'll Just run up to the Purdies' and
leave this" she said.
Then she really did want to be rid
of me- Flora mused, as she watched
the brisk back moving away; "and
how beautifully she has done IT,"
Her eyes followed Clara's little figure
retreatlng up the neat and narrow
board walk, to where 1t disappeared
in overarching depths of eucalyptus
trees. Further on, beyond the trees,
two figures. smaller than Clara's In
their greater distance, were coming
