Ordinarily when a bill is introduced

Ordinarily when a bill Is introduced
to correct the military record Of a
soldier, 1t means that there is a charge
Of desertion in the record against him,
and that II he can get 1t removed 1t
gives him a p%ensionable status. That
is not true Of this case. Nor is the
bill a prelude to a request for a pen,
sion. MI. McGill receives a pension OF
SIT a month under his first discharge.
1t is the record Of his discharge from
his second enlistment which beclouds
a military record, which, as the rec.
ords show, was more than ordinarily a
good one.
McGill enlisted as a private and was
promoted right along up the company
line, finally winning the first lieuten.
ancy because OF bravery In action. Then
the trouble started which has never
ceased to annoy and humiliate him
every day Of his life since. He was
contaminated, tried and ordered dis.
missed. He protested his innocence
then and has ceased to protest
1t since. He was convicted on the
evidence Of two men. only recently
has n Of these men, now old and re.
pentant, come forward to try to undo
a great wrong which he was partly re.
sponsible for perpetrating on 9: fellow.
man. He has told his story in the
form OF an affidavit, legally sworn to,
signed and the notarial seal affixed.
In a word, Lieutenant McGill was
framed up" by an officer under him
who desired the place in the command
held by McGill. He faxed up the case
and the testimony, and bribed the
false witnesses. That's the story. Nc.
Gill was an innocent man.
1t is the death.bed repentance affi.
davit that has lifted the McGill demand
for Justice from the government he
fought for from the limbo Of things
that are lost in committee pigeonholes.
But for that McGill might have fought
on until the end of his earthly time
and there would have been no clearing
up Of his good name.

"Blue Bird" Chinaware, New

This is one of the pretttest patterns we have ever shown
of American Chinaware. The primitive shipment was here
a short time ago and sold out almost before we were aware
Of its presence. The bluebird on white Chinaware is nov
eli and very effective. Coming as it does on this inexpen-
sHe China ware accounts for its popularity. There are
two attractive patterns and each dinner set has 40 pieces

Five days later as the Jupiter was
discharging passengers at Plymouth
Count Quinnox and Lieutenant Dank
stood well forward on the promenade

younger man was moody and distrait,
an unusual condition for him, but one
that had been noticeably recurrent
during the past two or three days.
Something had gone wrong with him,
and 1t was something that he felt in
duty bound to lay before his superior,
the grim old minister of war and he
reditary chief Of the castle guard. Oc-
casionally his somber gaze shifted to

unmingled with scorn.
You don't mean to say. Dank, that
you've fallen in love with her? Oh.
