Her Soldier Dad.

Mrs. Johnson was all excitement.
Her husband was a Gordon High
lander. and she had an invitation to
visit him In barracks in Scotland
You'll soon see daddy now" she
said to her 6-year-old little daughter
as the express bore them to their
destination.
On arrival at the barracks Mrs.
Johnson was informed that her hus-
band was on sentry duty. One of the
soldiers pointed him out to her, but.
Of course, they could not approach
him. The child eyed her daddy with
big round eyes full OF wonder as he
paced up and down the square, rife
on shoulder, in his regimental kilt.
There's daddy" cried the mother
The child. however, was too lost in
this amazing spectacle to answer, but
at last II came out.
Mamma" she said, in a childish
treble, but with a strictly confidential
air. If daddy finds the man who stole
his trousers. will he give me that
Tickle frock?"

Ethel, still in her splendid wedding
gown, sat on a low divan playing
with the famous Rosy Diamond that
hung around her neck and gazing
thoughtfully at the wonderful and
irons in the cold fireplace. Allan
paced the room Hstlessly for a few
moments, then he lit a cigarette and
made as if to sit beside his wife, but
she waved him away with a little
smile.
NO, sit there-facing me-that's
it. l want to talk to you"
A look of puzzled interest came to
his face, and then for the first time
that day he smiled, naturally. 1t was
a rather wan smile, but 1t was sin
cere, and Ethel appreciated it as such.

Allan looked at her with new in

in an attitude of attention
Il don't know what you are driving

follow your lead. Go ahead"
She sat with her hands folded in
her lap, looking down at them for a
few moments in silence. Then she
raised her eyes and looked full into
his.

He flushed slightly, and bowed.

quiet voice in which she had begun
the conversation. Indeed, II is the
dearest wish OF my heart that you
