After languid good night to John
Mrs. Hampden went, with an air of
utter WEAKNESS. into the house.
Hampden, however. for the space OF

chatting pleasantly. during which time
John discovered that even Steve Hamp-

Speculation. had a very likable side
and took a mighty pride in his daugh-
ter. When the cigar had been tossed
away Hampden rose, shaking hands
cordially with John.

you miss this fairy night. Come
around often. John. And don't let this
girl fiirt the head from your shouI-

time for scout and reconnaissance. for
the drawing Of maps. the Selling of
strategic positions and for numbering
