could bestow upon her make her forget
the question of age? Besides, he was
almost sure that she cared for him.
The captain was a man of prompt
notion. In the field he had been dis
tinguished for his decisiveness and en-
ergy. He would see her and plead his
cause again in person. Age! What
was it to come between him and the
one he loved?
In two hours he stood ready, in light
marching order, for his greatest bat
tie. He took the train for the old
southern town in Tennessee where she
lived.
Theodore Deming was on the steps
of the handsome, porticoed old man
sion enjoying the summer twilight;
when the captain entered the gate and
came up the graveled walk She met
him with smile that was free from
embarrassment. AS the captain stood
on the step below her the difference in
their ages did not appear SO great. He
was tall and straight and clear eyed
and Drowned: she was in the bloom of

The captain flushed a little through
the bronze on his face. He was 81

The captain had lost his battle But
he was a gallant warrior and when he
rose to make his final adieu his mouth
was grimly set and his shoulders were
squared.
He took the train for the north that
night On the next evening he was
back in his room, where his sword was
hanging against the wall. He WAS
dressing for dinner, tying his white tie
into Il very careful bow. And ut the
same time he was indulging in pen

"'Pon my honor, believe Theo was
right after all. Nobody can deny that
she's peach. but she must be twenty
eight. ut the very kindest calculation"
For you see, the captain was only
nineteen. and his sword had never been
drawn except on the parade ground ut
Chattanooga, which wSs as near as
he ever got to the Spanish-American
war.
