Far into the night Sara sat in the

CHAPTER xI.
In the Shadow Of tho Mil.

In the Shadow of the Mil.
The next day but one was overcast.
On cloudy, bleak days Hetty Castle
ton always felt depressed.
Leslie was to return from the wilds
on the following day. Early in the
morning Booth had telephoned to in
quire If she did not want to go for a
long walk with him before luncheon.
The portrait was finished, but he
could not afford to miss the morning
hour with her. He said as much to
her In pressing his invitation.
Tomorrow Leslie will be here and
I sha'n't see as much OF you as I'd
like" he explained. rather wistfully.
Three is crowd, you know. I've
got so used to having you all to my
self, it's hard to break off suddenly"
I will be ready at eleven" she said,
and was instantly surprised to find
that her voice rang with new life, new
interest. The grayness seemed to lift
from the view that stretched beyond
the window; she even looked for the
sun in her eagerness.
It was then that she knew why the
world had been bleaker than usual,
even in its cloak of gray.
A little before eleven she set out
briskly to intercept him ct the gates.
Unknown to her, Sara sat in her
window. and viewed her departure
with gloomy eyes. The world also
was gray for her.
They came upon each other unex-
pectedly at a sharp turn in the ave-
nue.. Hetty colored with a sudden
rush Of confusion, and had all she
could do to meet his eager, happy
eyes as he stood over her and pro-
claimed his pleasure In jerky, awk-
ward sentences. Then they walked
on together, a strange shyness at
tending them. She experienced the
faiItness Of breath that comes when
the heart Is filed with pleasant
alarms. AS for Booth, his blood sang.
He thrilled with the joy of being near
her, of the feel OF her all about him,
of the delicious feminine appeal that
made her so wonderful to him. He
keep her there forever, to exert all
of his brute physical strength so that
she might never again be herself but
a part OF him.
They uttered commonplace. The
spell was on them. 1t would lift, but
for the moment they were powerless
to struggle against it. At length he
saw the color fade from her cheeks;
her eyes we're able to meet his with
out the look in them that all men love.
Then he seemed to get his feet on the
ground again, and strange, ineffably
sweet sense of calm took possession
of him.
Il must paint you all over again."
he said, suddenly breaking in on one
of her remarks. Just as you are
today-an outdoor girl. glorious out
door girl in
I'm muddy boots" she laughed,
drawing her skirt away to reveal a

lips.

Yes; for destroying all that is de-
testable in you, Leslie-your self-con-
ceit, your arrogance. your false no

He blinked incredulously. do you
know what you're saying?" he gaspeG.
She went on as If she hadn't heard
him.
Assure her that she is to feel no
conjunction for what she has dSne,
that you are content to be her loyal,
devoted friend to the end of your
days"
But, hang 1t, Sara, love her!"
Don't let her suspect that you are

to understand that you are cleansed
and glorified."

a campaign horses should be left out
of doors for days together in order
to train them for open air life. There
is no question now that the training
of cavalry horses for dashing work
is infinitely more important than
training them to make long marches

their carbines. A dismounted cavalry
