Hamlin lifted his eyes and looked at

voice.

charms no longer held the man cap

A lady had invited to dinner an old
friend who had lost her nose In an
accident. Taking her young daughter
aside before she arrived. she eau
toned her to be careful to make no
remarks about Mrs. Hills nose, as she
was very sensitive about 1t. At the
table Ethel. who had been studying

ity. turned inquiringly to her mother
and asked: MA. why did you tell me

CHAPTER XVI.
Tho Meetino.

Hamlins first impulse was to ignore
the note. trusting his position In the
ranks would be sufficient barrier to
prevent any chance meeting. and be-
lieving his stay at that garrison would
be only brief one. Sheridan was evil
IDENTITY preparing for aa early offensive
campaign. and It was rumored on all
sides that the Seventh Cavalry had
been selected for active field service.
Indeed. the urgent orders for the con.
solidation Of the regiment from scat.
tered posts must mean this. Any day
might bring orders, and he could
easily avoid this Mrs. Dupont until
then. Except for faint cariosity, the
Sergeant felt no inclination to meet
the woman, Whatever influence she
might have once exercised over him
had been thoroughly overcome by
years and absence. Even the unex.
pected sight Of her again-seemingly
as beautiful as ever--had failed to
awaken the spell of the past. It was
almost with a thrill OF delight that
Hamlin realized this--that he was In
truth utterly free OF her influence.
There had been times when he had
anticipated such possible meeting
with dread when he had doubted his
own heart. the strength of his will to
resist. But now he knew he stood alb
solutely independent and could laugh
mt her wiles. she who had once been
all--trusted. loved. worshipped with
all the mad fervor Of youth--had be-
come only dead memory. Bstveea

Exception.

One evening the guests were all
seated around the table earnestly
talking on an important topic. Little
Frank came running In shouting:
Papa, papa"
Hush, Frank, little children should
be seen and not heard"
Frank subsided into silence and
pensively sucked his finger. Later
his father said We'll son. what did
you want to say before?"
Just that the bathtub was over
flowing"
