Norfolk, was thinking Of the event to
come to which that letter called him.
Lucy! oh, Lucyl" A voice called
from the lawn, and in moment more
the colonel was upon them. Lucy,
he began, somebody must arrange
about the new harnesses; my time Is
too valuable to be taken up with de-

Il have seen to 1t, father. They will

Then the colonel noticed Francois.

another of his linen coat. They gave
me letter for you, chevalier, knowing
that you would be at Roanoke house

WHEN BABYHooD DAYS END
All Mothers Have Had, or Will Have,
the Experience of Which These
Three Were Talking.

The mothers were discussing-well,
what do you suppose mothers usually
discuss? Their children, of course.
And the topic under discussion was:
When is your manchild no longer
your baby boy?"
Said one mother: THE first day
my boy went to school cried and
cried, for knew had lost my baby"
''Oh, but | lost mine the first day
he put ON trousers" said another.
"And / didn't feel mine was gone
until he asked: Please, mother, only
kiss me when we're alone
Well" said another. although my
boy is great. husky lad, still feel
he is my baby. I'm always expecting
him to rebel, and when he does, then
it's good-by, baby boy; but he still al.
lows me to kiss away the pain of his
bumps and bruises!" And she beamed
with a smile triumphant while the
other mothers positively looked en-

your letter. see 1t is foreign one"
"Will mademoiselle pardon"
At that moment an uneven step
came down the slope and Francois
flashed smile at Harry Hampton and
retreated to the other side of the sum-
mer-house with his letter; while the
colonel. murmuring complaints about
harnesses, went strolling up the
shadowy, bird-haunted lawn.
Harry Hampton stood by his sweet
heart with boyish air of proprietor

these two years of his engagement. u

Francois. But the lad caught her
waist. Look" he said, and opened
his free hand and a plain gold ring
glittered from it With quick move
ment he slipped 1t over the little third
finger. There" he said, that will be

Henry shall not badger you about har'

years because he needed you, but

Next wednesday-that is the wedding
day, Lucy"
With that Francois turned around.
His face shone with an excitement
which could not escape even preoccu-
pied lovers.
what is 1t, chevalier? You have
news-what is it?" the girl cried.
For a moment he could not speak.
Then: Yes. mademoiselle, great
news" he said. The prince has sent
for me. And am well and fit to go

grieved to leave you and Harry, my
two old friends"
But, Francois, you cannot go before

out. I'VE cannot be married without

And Francois considered. mo, not
before Wednesday" he agreed.

day. On Monday the Chevalier Beau.

WOULD DO FOR THE RABBITS
Old Gun Effective Enough Since the
Animals Did Not Know OF Ito
Condition.

Colonel Preston OF Grand Beach,
Me-, tells this story about new
chauffeur he added to his household
this year.
Pats knowledge Of auto mechanics
is surprising. but like many another
man he despises his vocation and
yearns to be sportsman. The colonel
possesses a collection Of firearms OF
which he is proud and this has been
a continual attraction for Pat, who
spends much OF his spare time gazing
in admiration at the guns In their
glass cases and gently lingering them
with loving care when permitted to
polish them.
One day he came to the colonel very
bashfully and inquired. Colonel, dear.

The piece was an old muzzle-loader
of Civil war days. and his master,
thinking that Pat wanted to play a
Joke on some one, and knowing that
the gun could not possibly be fired.
readily consented.
Toward evening he observed Pat
arrayed In full automobile toggery.
trudging of toward the woods with
the gun on his shoulder.
Where are you going. Pat?" asked
the colonel

Rlttar sweet.

1t happened at one of those places
where one goes to dine and dance.
The cheerful young man about town
blew in and was adopted into per-
fectly good bohemian party. Attached
somehow to the perfectly good boz
hemian party was young woman
with that weary, naughty air so much
in favor in the yonger tango set.
The cheerful youth asked her to do a
hesitation waltz with him. She didn't
mind If she did. But after they had
made few turns about the room she
led her partner back to the table.
Honey" she said languidly. you
must go somewhere and learn to
dance"

Who Wants to Be a Camel,

A camel's hind legs will reach any
where-over his head. round his chest,
and onto his hump; even when lying
down an evil disposed animal will
shoot out his legs and bring you to a
sitting posture. His neck is of the
same pliancy. He will chew the root
OF his tail. nip you in the calf, or lay
the top Of his head ON his hump. He
also bellows and roars at you, what.
ever you are doing-saddling him,
feeding him. mounting him, unsad-
ding him. To the uninitiated, cam
el going for one with his mouth open
and gurgling horribly, Is a terrifying
spectacle; but do not mind him, 1t is
only his way. II heard" says Count
Gleichen, "of one or two men having
leg broken from a kick at various
times. but It was the exception and
not the rule. for camel is really a
very docile animal, and learns to be-
have himself In most trying positions
with equanimity, though l fear It is
only the result Of want OF brains"

with the clearest affection in his look.
Yet she braced herself against she did
not know what. The voice went on
with it's winning foreign infections, its
slip Of English now and then, and its
never-to-be-described power of reach

and yet he heard those following
voices calling to him, more family:
Come back again-oh, come back
again!"
And with that the negroes had
broken into a melody, and the shiT
moved on to the wild sweet music
Way Down Upon de S'wanee Ribber
the negroes sang, and the ship was al
the turn of the river. The stately walls
of Roanoke house, the green slope
crowded with figures of his friends
the sparkling water front-the current
had swept away all of the picture and
he could only hear that wailing music
of the negroes voices, lower. more Mt
full; and now 1t was gone. He had left
Virginia; he was on his way to friends
And for all his joy of going. he was
heavy-hearted for the leaving.
The weeks went slowly at sea, but
after a while he had landed. was In
France, was at vicques. He had seen
his mother, with her hair whitened by
those years of his prison life--a happy
woman now. full of business and re
sponsibility. yet always with a rapI
look in her face as Of one who lived In
deep inner quiet. He had talked long
talks with his prosperous father and
slipped into his old place among his
brothers and sisters, utterly refusing
to be made stranger or great man
And over and over again he had told
the story of his capture and the story
of his escape.
At the castle the returned wanderer
picked up no less the thread dropped
so suddenly seven years before The
general, to whom the boy seemed his
boy risen from the dead, would hardly
let him from his sight; Alike kept him
in tingling atmosphere OF tenderness
and mockery and sisterly devotion
which thrilled him and chilled him and
made him blissful and wretched in
turns. The puzzle of Alike was more
unreliable than the puzzle OF the

to her father and Francois and Pietro

the little peasant boy had sat with his

his high chair, and copied the history
of Napoleon. These men paid great

that peasant boy.

come in at that point with growl like

And little Lucy felt healing peace
settling on her bruised feelings and
heard herself saying generous words
OF friendship which healed also as she
spoke them.

herself. And the broken-hearted one

CHAPTER XVII.
Once More at Home.

Once More at Home.
In fewer words, with less told, Fran
co.'s straightforwardnes metamor-
phosed the angry lad Harry Hampton
into follower more devoted than he
had been even in the first flush Of en-
thusiasm for his rescued prisoner.
Again the boy logged his footsteps
and adored him frankly. And Francois,
enchanted to be friends again with
his friend, wondered at the goodness
and generosity of the people of this
world. 1t is roughly true that one finds
life in general like mirror; that If
one looks into it with a smile and a
cordial hand held out one meets smiles
and outstretched hands In return.
Through all his days II had happened
so with this child of French village.
So that when the day came at last
when he stood once more on the deck
of the Lovely Lucy, loaded with her
cargo of tobacco for foreign ports.
Francois felt as IL he were leaving
home and family. The long green car
pet of the rolling lawn of Roanoke was
crowded with people come to tell him
good-by. All of his soldier boys were
there, the lads trained by him, one and
all ready to swear by him or to die for
him. Lucy and Harry stood together,
and the servants were gathered to do
him honor, and people had ridden from
all over the county for the farewell.
His eyes dimmed with tears of CRATE
fulnese, he watched them as the gang
plank was drawn up and the sails
caught the wind and the ship swung
slowly out into the stream.
Come back again-come back
egain," they called from the shore.
Francois heard the deep tones of
the lads and the rich voices of the ne
groes and he knew that some there
could not speak, even as he could not.
So he waved his hat silently, and the
ship moved faster and the faces on
the lawn seemed smaller farther away,

for right things to come. Some such
crosswise heavenly messenger gripped
the mind of Alike, and she said what
she hated herself for saying, and saw
the quick result in the downcast
misery of poor Francois face. And
then the same cruel, wise angel turned
his attention to Francois. IF she
thinks that, let her." whispered the
perverse one. Let it go at that; say
yes"
And Francois lifted mournful eyes
and repeated, THAT you should love
Pietro-yes-that is what have
wished for all my life.

NORMAN and Exerclae.

Most women, whether they be fleshy
or thin, walk far too little. The wom-
an who tends to be fleshy should walk
for at least an hour every day, and
do it regularly and Systematically. AS
she gets accustomed to the exercise
she should increase the number of
miles she walks day until she is do
ing five miles.
