cred the letter for Stephen which had
been intrusted to him by Miss Sarah
There are many men like Big Louie
who are pitifully faithful until events
outstrip their intellects. Steve was
sorry for him, and half hour later,
after he had read Miss Sarah's prim
note requesting his presence at dinner
at 100 Christmas eve, he grew sor-
rier still while he watched the Ill as
sorted trio meet once more. blanket
packs upon their backs and snowshoes
on their feet. Big Louie had Joined
the other two from the direction Of the
stables. There were words between
them. for Steve saw the huge mans
arm lift to strike Shayne to the ground
and then drop harmlessly back to his
side. And Steve knew what that bit
Of pantomime meant. Big Louie had
been to bid his team goodby. There
was smudge Of brown sugar across
Ids coat, though the watcher was too
far away to see that. But he knew
that Big Louie had been crying, knew
that Shayne had smiled. 1t was the
second time that Shayne had smiled
that evening-his second bad mistake.
Long after they had disappeared into
the north toward the Reserve COM
pany's camps Steve wondered that 1t
had not cost him his life.
Miss Sarah's note which had been al
most a week on the way was very
primly correct but the inevitable post
script which underran Il sounded a
more intimate note.
I'VE are not excessively formal as a
rule. Stephen" she wrote. $50 a din
ner jacket will be adequate. As I am
expecting two other guests besides
your friends, Mr.. Morgan aud Garrett
Devereau, ! must ask you to let no
business matters interfere with your
promptness."
Steve dared not let himself wonder
who those other guests would prove to
be. Miriam Burrell. he knew. had al
ready written Garry that this was to
be the saddest Christmas and the mer.
riest that she had ever known. giving
as respective reasons her inability to
be with him and the fact that she was
SO entirely his. Because he would not
let himself hope this time be was not
or at least SO he told
himself, when he found only Dexter
Allison with Caleb the next afternoon
near g. And ON a sudden thought his
eyes went rowing around the room
then, looking for Archibald Wicker
sham. But Miss Sarah gave him no
time for a protracted scrutiny.
"Your room is ready. Stephen" she
told him and steered him toward the |
stairs. "You have an hour In which |
10 dress. and you know already that
am old maidenishly strict"
And then. three-quarters OF an hour
later, when he had dressed and turned |

Big Louie's eyes had been mournful
when he stumbled In out Of the cold.
They were that now. He started to
turn toward the window for look at

Perhaps Fallon believed that Big

that the situation was too highly dra-

civil Service Commission Will Ask
Reinstatement if Absence is

The Civil Service Commission ruled
yesterday that civil service employees
will not lose their positions through
absence of less than one year for mill
tary service and announced that where
absences of more than year are nee
essary the commission would recon-
mend reinstatement by the President.
Hundreds of Government clerks in

being must tared in for border duty.
President Wilson ard his Cabinet
discussed yesterday plans for prevent
ing loss of salaries or positions by all
Federal employees called into service
by the National Guard mobilization or
der. Members of the Cabinet said af-
terward some way would be found.
Congress. it is said, might be asked
to pass special legislation covering
such cases. The ruling of the Civil
Service Commission reads:
When a department. or officer
of the Government desire to fill a
vacancy resulting from the alb
sence of competitive classified
employee who, as member of the
National Guard or the combined
militia is called for duty on ac-
count of the unsettled conditions
in Mexico, the commission will au-
thorize the filling of such vacancy
temporarily from the eligible reg
listers for temporary appointment
pending the return and reinstate-
ment of such classified employe.
In event the absence shall contin-
ue for more than year, the period
of eligibility for reinstatement un-
der the rules, the commission will
recommend to the President that
this period be extended to permit
