BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE
WATER.
CHAPTER XIV,

Isabel Hamilton needed no second
bidding to refrain from talk of Ade-
laide Simmons to John. She was glad
OF an excuse not to mention the wom-
an. Not only did she dislike and dis
trust Adelaide. but speech of her to
John would remind him of the uncan-
did part that his wife had played on
the afternoon of his former friends
visit to her.
To be detected in deceit is not con-
ducive to ones self respect. and it
produces a sensation Of resentment
toward the person who has been the
cause of such detection. If anything
could have increased Isabel Hamil-
tons antagonism toward Adelaide Sim
mons it was the fact that it was be-
cause of her that she had been re-
proved by her husband.
Wnen John commanded her not to
mention his old friend to him until
she could speak less critically of her
lSaDel muttered retOrt had been that
under those circumstances, it would
be a long time before he heard Adel-
aide Simmons name pass her lips
whether John understood this state
ment or not she could not be sure. for
ne made no reply but. walking into
the parlor, turned on the light and
seated himself by the table. the even
ing paper in his hand Chagrined and
veXed. Isabel yet had the wisdom not
to continue the discussion. After all.
she and John were married-and they
must get on comfortably if their love
was worthy Of the name At heart
sne was almost relieved at the cul-
mlnatlon of the dispute with regard
10 TINS woman. If the wife was not 20
speak OF her, she certainly need not
return her call or ask her to her home.
soon John made some comment up
on an editorial he was perusing and
o1tered to read it aloud to his wife.
lsaDel accepted this as an evidence
OF MS desire to be at peace with her.
ana she replied with as pleasant a
manner as she could muster. Thus
the evening passed like many other
evenings.
In the days that followed the wife
wondered if her husband remembered
the quarrel. But. of course he did
she told herself-yet he probably
wanted her to forget it. Perhaps he
was ashamed of his display of TEN.
per. Perhaps he was even beginning
to see that Isabel was not entirely
wrong in her estimate of Mrs. Sim
mons If so. the end she had accom-
plished justified the means she had
used. She smiled with relief at the
thought
She Soon Gets Another
OisaereeabIe Shock.
But her self-congratulation was des
tined to be short lived One bright
Sunday morning. ten days after the
episode of Mrs. Simmons call. Isabel
suggested to her husband that ne and
she go to church. She had been in
the habit of attending service once a
day on Sundays before her marriage
John, not used to this practice, had
often made excuses for staying at
home. and of course Isabel remained
, with him. But this day she felt a de.
sire to go to church. She and John
seemed to be once more on the pleas
ant terms of their early married days
Life was very sweet and pleasant. The
weather was perfect-clear and cold
! with a sparkle in the air that made
one glad to be alive. It seemed the
proper and right thing on such a day
and at such a time to return thanks
for ones blessings.

CALLING THE ROSTER OF OUR POS
SIBLE CADETS.

What, then, are the resources OF our schools
for the purposes of a military reserve2 Let
us omit from consideration the primary and
even the grammar schools on account OF the
youthfulness OF their pupils. The older boys
OF grammar schools might indeed we'll un-
dergo some military instruction for their own
good But it would be impossible to determine
with any degree of accuracy the number OF
boys thus qualified by age, and it is obvious
that the period OF their instruction of this
kind would be brief. They must pass out into
the great mass OF citizens who have had little
or no military training in school and who must
acquire such training, if at all subsequently by
voluntary action.
Take, then, the public and private high
schools normal schools and college prcpara-

systematic military instruction and discipline
Would the boys and young men like such
system and take favorably to it? OF that there
can, think, be no doubt. The average nor
NAL boy loves soldering. Even before he
reaches his. teens he loves to play with toy
soldiers and to parade with cap and drum As
he grows older the inclination becomes more
marked. He covets pistol or gun. He or
ganizes drills and sham battles among his
playmates. He exults in wearing uniform or
even a mere badge or in carrying banner
