THE EVENING STORY.
DAD.
DAD.
Copyright. 1915. BY ". Werner

Adrienne Hyde sat before her dress
ing table and looked seriously at her
self in the glass. Her glance moved
from her hair (the color Of gold leaD
to her gray eyes. from her bright lips
to tho triangle of white throat visible
between the edges of her haring collar
Certainly there was nothing wrong
with her looks. Last night she had
been one of the three most admired
girls at the dance: she had turned
away a dozen partners. men whom
other girls looked at with longing.
Yet he had never come near her. He
had taken no pains to be courteous
even. He had simply not seemed to be
aware of her-n gown and shoes. the
color of her hair, the most radiant fig-
ure perhaps in the whole rooml
Her eyes filled with tears until tho
white and gold young loveliness in the
mirror was blurred as If seen through
rain. What lack did he perceive in her?
What need to pick her feelings to
pieces when her business in life was
SO patiently that of having a good
time? She loved to dance and dress
and go about, and this constituted her
whole occupation. But for one thing
she could have been perfectly happy.
Norman Maxwell could not be made to
care for her.
She wondered angrily if it was not
the very perversity of his indifference
that made her care for him. 1t was SO
easy to make other men-men she did
stand it. At first he had appeared to
like her we'll enough. then came a
change. What had caused 1t?
All. well. 1t was useless to perplex
herself over such stubborn problem.
Her eyes being clear by this time, she
touched a powder puff to her nose and
rose from her chair.
The day after a dance is always a
dull affair at best. Adrienne felt that
she needed entertainment that was in
teresting without being stimulating,
and where could she find it better than
at her fathers store? They were ex-
pecting some new mandarin coats, he
had told her. which must have arrived
by this time. She loved Chinese en-
broidery, and, though she had not the
slightest need Of a mandarin coat, she
might, If she found one that pleased

him. AS they passed through the
store she heard some one say: Nerves.

So he had had other spells like this
one! And they had not known.
The doctor put Mr.. Hyde to bed ana o
mother and told her what she knew.
I'VE can't have that luncheon. she
said. I'VE can't have anything more
until he's out of this"
Her mother wept futilely. She was
pretty and fashionable and had no
idea what life without money would
mean.
Ten days later while her father lay
in bed the crash came. IT'S hard TOT
Adrienne smiled bravely. IF it were
not for mother and me 1T wouldnt

old to begin over again and III help
you. I feel a great hankering atter
business. All 1 need is you to pint
me. And you'll see."
So new Adrienne was evolved from
the old. They moved into little house
where there was no servant, only
woman who came in once a week. Her
father still retained the management
of the store and she went to work there
at a salary. 1t was hard, of course, TO
wait on people who once had been be-
meath her socially, but she felt that the
trial was good for her. And some. :.
how she was happier. too. in spite or
everything for her father had new
look of courage upon his face that was
good to see.
They were becoming inseparable COM
panlons. she and dad. They went to
work together. they lunched together.
they walked home together. She was
beginning to realize what q wonderful.
noble man her little father was.
One day Adrienne was i'll and could
not go to the store. That night when
her father came home he brought Nor
man Maxwell with him. It was the
most wonderful thing. Adrienne felt,
that had ever happened. Norman stay

rienne forgot her influenza and enter

After that he kept on coming. And
one evening he asked her to marry
him. II loved you from the first" he
said, but l could never have married

was white and drawn, and great drops
of sweat stood out on his forehead, He

his thin hands. half dozen clerks
stood about him with scared faces But
the woman who bent over him support-

Adrienne went to him and put her

Galveston. Texas.
,iitor Of THE BEACON; October ! 1915.
The 9th Infantry sailed from this
port yesterday for the Philippines!
Thousands Of people lined the piers to
wave Them adieu. The band was play
ing. but the martial strains of music
was in accompaniment to the sobs Of the
wives, sW]eethcarts and mothers of the
soldiers, many Of whom they would
probably not sec again. 1t gave me a
longing to return to the beautiful isles
where ! spent three and a half years of
my service in the army and 1t would
give me great pleasure to visit it be-
fore my retirement.
The regiment of which | I'm a men,
her will go to the Dallas Fair. and no
doubt | will meet IA great many of the
old comrades with whom | served in
the Spanish-American war and the
Filipino instruction. This regiment
was composed mostly of Texans. The
2Sth has been drilling six hours a day
getting into form to give some fancy
drill at the Fair; and | am sure it vii
be a great treat to the visitors.
We are having a great pest of flies
and mosquitoes which seemed to have
multiplied ten.fold since the storm
Many of the people here makes a fir

drives them away so they can remain
out of doors with any degree of com
fort.
