A NEAR-WEDDING.

There was near-wedding last
week, and it was all due to the stu
dent officers being paid off on July
g.
The young officer, who is studying
so hard that he may receive COM
mission when the camp breaks in
August at Fort Mcpherson, walked
in casually the morning of the Fourth
with nothing on his mind but
thoughts Of matrimony. He has al
ways leased himself along that he
wanted to marry, but rich
enough, intellectual enough girl
could not be found without too much
hunting. He avowed openly to me
that there was only one thing he
wanted very much and that was to get
married. He had made up his mind
fully that was all left for him to do
that he had planned should come to
pass before he died.
And with the prospect staring him
in the face, that he may have to
go to France, and that right soon, he
saw no reason for dillydallying any
longer.
! Immediately offered him my SER
vices promising even to pick out
the girl if he so desired, and Won
dering all the time what he might
think of the gil | might select. Up
on inquiring as to just when he
would like to walk that wedding aisle,
/ got the reply:
"Why, I'll be ready in fifteen mir
utes."
That rather stunned me.
But when ! saw in the afternoon
paper that the officers had received
their first pay envelope l knew that
he didn't trust himself long with that
real cash that would, if carefully
managed, buy the wedding ring, the
brides bouquet and pay the minis
ter
Now, this isn't and "ad" for young
glrs to answer, for / really have Sc
floualy set upon the very girl that
will suit this chap, and if there is a
way to work it without them be-
coming self-conscious, I'm going to
do it.
Then I'll tell you more about it
and who they are.-Sunday Ameri-

CHAPTER XIV,
Strategy.

One week went to repairs. To q
man of action such week is longer
than ten years of service. But chained
to a bed in the Sleepy Cat hospital, De
Spain had no escape from one week of
thinking, and for that week he thought
about Nan Morgan. And the impulse
that moved him the first moment he
could get out Of bed and into a saddle
was to spur his way hard and fast
to her; to make hes, against score
of burly cousins, his own; and never
to release her from his sudden arms
again.
With De Spain to think was to do j:
at least to do something, but not with.
out further careful thinking, and not
without anticipating every chance Of
failure. And his manner was to cast
up all difficulties and obstacles in a
situation, brush them aside, and have
his will If the heavens fell; and he
now set himself, while doing his rou-
tine work every day, to do one par.
ticular thing-to see, talk to, plead
with, struggle with the woman, or girl,
rather-child, even, to his thoughts, so
fragile she was-this girl who had
given him back his life against her
own marauding relatives.
His friends saw that something was
absorbing him in an unusual, even an
extraordinary way, yet none could ar.
rive at certain conclusion as to what
it was. The one man in the country
who could have surnised the situa
ton between the twO-the barn boss
McAlpin-if he entertained suspicious
was far too pawky to share them with
anyone. @@
When two weeks had passed without
De Spain's having seen Nan or having
heard of her being seen. the concl,,.

again. Her warm fingers had swept;
across his own. She had returned to-
him voluntarily his slender chance for;
life. But in doing it she had chal-.
lenged him to a new and overwhelm-
ing interest in life itself. And again,
In front of her cousin, she was crying
out anew against the shedding of
blood.
II came up here to fight man. l
don't fight women" muttered DE
Spain, maintaining the deceit and re-
garding both with an unpromising Wis.,
age. Then to Morgan: ''1'll talk to you
later. But you've got to fight or get
away from here, both of you, in ten
seconds"
"Take me away, Gale" cried Nan.
Leave him here-take me home
Take he home!"
She caught her Cousins arm. "Stay
right where you are" shouted Nor
gan, pointing at De Spain, and follow
ing Nan as she pulled him along.
when come back, I'll give you what
you're looking for.'
"Bring your friends" said De Spain
:auntingly. "1'll accommodate four

still on his revolver, he pointed the
way. Go down that trail first, Nor
gan. Stay where you are, girl, till he

De Spain, 'will you do?"
Covering Morgan, who could whirl
IN him at any turn in the descent, De
Spain could not look at her in answer

HE will start the whole gap as soon
az he gets to his horse"
He looked at the darkening sky.

CHAPTER XIV.
A Venture in the Dark.


Pushing his way hastily forward
when he could make haste; crawling
slowly on his hands and knees when
held by opposing rock; flattening HIM
self like leech against the face of
the precipice when the narrowing
ledge left him only inches under foot {;
clinging with torn hands to every IA
yoring crevice, and pausing when the
peril was extreme for fresh strength,
De Spain dragged his injured foot
across the sheer face of Ell Captain in
the last shadows Of the days failing
light.
Spent by his effort, De Spain reached
the rendezvous Nan had Indicated, as
nearly as the stars would tell him, by
ten o'clock. 1t was only after a long
and doubtful hour that he heard the
mutfled footballs of horse. He stood
concealed among the smaller trees I'M
til he could distinguish the outlines Of
the animal, and his eye caught the fig
ure of the rider.
De Spain stepped out of the trees,
and, moving toward Nan, caught her
hand and helped her to the ground.
She Ienjoined silence, and led the
horse into the little grove. Stopping
we'll within it, she stopped and be-
gan rearranging the mufflers on the
hoofs.
"I'm afraid I'm too late" she said.
"How long have you been here?" She
faced De Spain with one hand on the
pony's shoulder.
"Did you have any falls?"
''You see I'm here. You! How
could you get here at all with horse?"
''"They are hiding on both trails out
side watching for you-and the moon
will be up" She seemed very anxious.
De Spain made light of her fears. "I'll
get past them-I've got to, Nan. Don't
give it thought"
Il don't know What you'll think of
me" He heard the troubled note
In her voice.
''What do you mean?"
She began to unbutton her Jacket.
Throwing back the revers, she felt
inside around her waist, unfastened
after a moment and drew forth a leath-
ern strap. She laid it in De SPANS
hands. "This is yours" she said in a
whisper.
He felt it questioningly, hurfiedly,
then with amazement. "Not a car
fridge beit!" he exclaimed.
''It's your own.''
"Where-?" She made no answer.
"Where did you get it, Nan?" he whis-
pered hurriedly.
"Where you left It,"
"How?" She was silent. "When?'
"Tonight."
"Have you been to Calabasas and
back tonight?'
Everybody but Sassoon is in the
chase" she replied uneasily-as If not
knowing what to say, or how to say it.
'They said you should never leave
the gap alive-they are ready with
traps everywhere. didn't know what
to do. couldn't bear-after what
you did. for me tonight-to think of
your being shot down like dog, when
you were only trying to get away" =
II wouldn't have had you take a
ride like that for forty, belts!" '~.
"McAlpin showed it to me the last
time I was at the stage barn, hanging
where you left It." He strapped the
cartridges around him.

ride for it. But since you have"

The following curious oath was until

HTTOW does he ever decide?" Well,
sometimes the materials de-
eide it for him; sometimes the
seams themselves decide it!
II it's broadcloth, for instance, he'll
pink the seams. He may even leave
them without any finish at all, because
b~roadcloth is such a very close, firm
weave that it will never ravel. He
prefers the pinking, however. because
it is better looking. There is a pink
ing machine which does the work much
more evenly and regularly than pink
ing by hand. You car send your seams
to the tailor's to be pinked or pink
them yourself just by folding the edge
and shipping out each little nick, one
ut a time.
Covert cloth is another material that
takes pinking very well, and there are
some very fine serges that can be
pinked.
For the greater majority Of woolens
binding is the best finish. This you
can put on by hand, just folding the
ribbon seam binding along the middle,
slipping it over the edge of the seam,

kina,a Blue Is Worn.

Kings blue, that beautiful color one
sees In pansies and bachelors buttons,
is used in the new evening dresses. 1t
Is so becoming to some women that it
is a pity not to take advantage of it,
for all women do not look we'll in light
evening gowns.
A very amusing new fashion, decid-
edly extreme, is to have the lower half
Of q skirt or coat attached to the up
per part by enormous cartridge plaits.
In a light beige coat of velours de laine
this effect was achieved by taking a
band of fur and attaching it to the
coat In these standout loops. On a
brown velvet dress the seal fur band
was attached in these huge semi
cylinders just at finger tip depth.
Though these folds stand out from the
dress, they are not stiffened and end
by falling irregularly into negligent
folds.
Among the new pockets that deco
rate the sides of skirts and coats one
of the most original is a new moon
shape, outlined by narrow bands OF
brown fur material.

FORESTS OF AUSTRALIA.
They Are Unlike Those to Be Seen In
ANY Other Country,

One readily understands why the
Australian loves his trees. The groves
of giant eucalyptus form pictures new
er forgotten, and the scent Of the wat
tie brings a homesick feeling like the
smell of sage to the w~esterner.
The fora is not only beautiful, it Is
unique. and has no counterpart in 9th
er lands. Of the 10000 species of
plants most of them are purely Austria
lian and are urslnown even in New
Zealand. The general impression one
gets of Australian forests Is their total
unlikeness to anything seer elsewhere.
The great forests of timber trees are
not damp and shaded and all of one
species, but are well lighted and filed
with other forests of shorter trees. In
places the woods consist of large wide
ly spaced trees surrounded only by
bunch grass. and even in areas where
water is not to be found on the sur
face for hundreds of square miles true
forests OF low trees are present.
Forms which may be recognized as
tulip. lily. ~honeysuckle and fern take
on a surprising aspect. They are not
garden hoWefs, but trees, and the land
scape of which they form a part re-
minds II of the hypothetical repre-
sensations in books of science of a
landscape of mesozoic times. a period
antedating o by millions of years.
The trees are indeed those of a by
gone age. In America and Europe
shadowy forms Of fossil leaves of
strange plants are gathered from the
rock and studied with interest; in Aus
tralia many of these ancient trees are
living. The impression that one is
looking at a landscape which has for
ever disappeared from other parts of
the world is so vivid that the elms and
naples and oaks in some of the city
streets strike a Earring note. The tran
sition from jurassic to modern times is
painfully abrupt.-National Geographic
Magazine.
