pals and bundles appeared at Mrs. L.

and demanded admittance. AS the OPP

two, the women entered and proceed
ed to make themselves very much at
home. Crochet needles glistened in
busy fingers, tongues were loosened
and an old-style visiting afternoon
was the result. At six o'clock three
gentlemen, who were honored guests,
and Miss Eva Davis, came in and as
sisted in doing away with the splendid
supper that was spread. Some of the
women came near forgetting to GO
home and the lights burned in the
Fisher home until the evening was
far spent. The cause of the visitation
was the birthday of Mrs. Fisher.

face was white and there were dark
circles under his eyes. With cry of pity,
the girl gathered him up close as she had
done to her boys in their little-boy trag-
edies. He chung to her passionately, but
not crying now. In a moment she began
to talk-there was SO much to put into
ten minutes.
She told him of the great army to
which all brave souls the world over be-
long-the army of those who care more
for honor than for life. She told him of
the fights that must come, and how one
must never give up, no matter what hap
pened. She promised that all of them

him in and call his name in their roll-call;
that she would think of him always and

Out on the avenue once more, Miss
Dupre drew long breath.

as she had before she saw him. Then she
just saved herself from disgracing the

THE boy was watching for her the next
morning.

Miss Dupr6 nodded. IL told them,
she replied, taking off her hat. In her soul
she knew that she had an unfair advan-
tage. She did look prettier without her
hat-any woman would, when the hat
had seen two winters service. But Miss
Dupre's hair was in no wise remarkable,
and she knew it. Yet she looked at him
with confident expectation. She knew
that he would see it through the eyes of
all those other boys, so calmly included in
her sweeping statement of the day before.
"You do look better without it," he told
her. what did the boys say about me?'
The boys, it seemed, had said various
things, some of them puzzling, but, on the
whole. satisfactory. The delicate, fretful
face kindled.

vivid recital of the story of st. George.
The boy listened carelessly-attentivel
finally breathlessly. ~
I'D like him too" he cried jealousy.
"Can have him too? I'd do just like
him. I'd ride and kill dragons
ooh, yes, you can have him if you want
to. Lots of people do. But maybe you'd

some one who is living to-day. Suppose

Yet at the end of the month there was a
distinct gain. The boy was dlipe.
Mrs. Grosvenor expressed herself as
tepidly satisfied, and the second month
began. There were "a thousand things
to talk over now, for the boy had begun
to live in whole world. French was
easy, of course; arithmetic was not diff
cult, owing to the elementary nature of
it, for evidently the boys victories were
never to be in the field of pure mathe-

ment when fought out as battle; but
casual references-even the most casual
began to be fraught with danger to
Miss Dupre. She was forced to study

which she had so little talent that he
found her out, and she was forced meekly
to bear his. scorn), to study history for

1t was all breathlessly exciting.
AND then-suddenly- found his
hero.
They had talked of the war. among
other things-only little, however, and
very carefully, for he was only eight.
But one morning the girl came looking
strangely paler than usual, but with
light in her eyes like stars. The boy, SEN
sitive and high-strung, felt the strange
ness at once.

stantly.
She looked at him with that shining,
far-away look.

"Its the bravest thing l ever heard of.
The boys could talk of nothing else last
night. They have made new order of
unknown heroes. And then she told
him. 1t was in all the papers: the story
of how regiment of French Zouaves,
pressing ahead too far. was surrounded
and overwhelmed; of how the enemy,
stripping the dead of their uniforms and
Disgusting themselves in them, took the
few survivors with them, and crept
toward the French line; of how the
French, seeing the missing regiment
struggling back, were suddenly startled
by an agonized cry from its midst: "For
Gods sake, comrades, fret"
A sheet of flame flashed out, and the
trench was saved.
"The story" the girl ended. her voice
breaking with the magnifcence Of it, awas
read in the Order of the Day, the next
morning, to every soldier in the French
army. No one knows his name-the
hero who saved his comrades-but he is
living, fighting, in million lives to-day.
No great general is doing more for his
country than he. He will live in all the
world. Look at our three boys-they
will never forget. If anything tempts
them to be cowardly ever, they will hear
that unknown Frenchman's voice"
The boys face was dead white and his
eyes blazing; his slender, nervous hands
were clenched fiercely.

broke down, sobbing passionately

when she left at one clock, he stood at
salute.
Miss Dupre had many things to do
that day, as it happened. There was
some special event on hand with Louis,
Jack, and Duncan, involving gingerbread
three pans of it.; for the shabby living
room was overrun by boys that. night,
After it was all over, and the noisy crowd
had poured down the steps, and the boys
left behind had been sent up to quarters,
and the dishes were washed, and the floor
swept (because there wouldn't be time
in the morning), and the lights put out,
Miss Dupre was sufficiently tired to tum-
BILE into bed at once. But she didn't.
She sat long time, thinking about a
lonely little fellow in great, silent, in
different house up in the avenue. Would
he hold to it, really? Tired as she was,
the girls heart beat quickly at the mem
DRY of the slender figure standing at
salute.
The next morning, when she reached
the house, it appeared that there were
some new developments. Jenness opened
the front door as usual, but at the play
room she was halted.
"Friend or foe?" challenged boys
excited voice from within.
Friend" she declared.
Advance, friend, and give the coun-
tersign."
The door was open now, just a crack,
and dark eyes were searching hers breath
lessly. She hazarded-and won.
"The Order of the Day."
1t was easy after that. From out the
horror of that flaming hell across the
sea, hero had reached across and kindled
a child's tiny torch. She saw it then;
she was to know it tragically before
long.
1t was easy all the week, and the week
after. One day of wavering ended in
passionate repentance. The hero had
put his mantle upon him-the boy was
his own. They We're wonderful weeks,
those two.
1T was the second day of the third week
that Jenness, opening the door. told
the girl that Mrs. Grosvenor wished to see
her. The girl went with swift steps to the
rose-and-silver boudoir. She must have
