''Tell me just the same" answered
Mark. "You. know. my dear, l want

soul of mature woman look out of
the eyes of the child. "When I'm old

Mark"
She was gone in a flash, running
along the corridor, while Mark Wal
lace stood dumfounded at the door,
hearing her footsteps grow fainter as
she hurried into the recesses of the
Misses Harpers' School for Select
Young Ladies'.
Mark went down the walk like
man dreaming. 1t was absurd it was,
perhaps, characteristic of the girls age
and temperament; and yet, in spite of
the absurdity, Captain Mark Wallace
felt as if he had suddenly regained
the grimy little child whom he had
found upon the hillside in front of
Santiago, and lost again.
AS he reached the gate he saw
man watching him from the bend of
the road. Something of furtiveness in
the mans posture made him wheel
sharply round; then he remembered
Eleanor's words and started in haste

I was hysterical," answered the girl,
shrewdly.
Mark could see that, but he was
certain that it was hysteria, that the
idea had come to the child as the re-
suit of brooding over the mystery of
her parentage. The entrance of the
lady principal put an end to their con-
versation. Mark rose reluctantly. His
visit had been all too brief, and it
might be years before he saw. the girl

"Well, Eleanor, this is au revoir,"
he said. perhaps for years."
She looked at him in sudden alarm.
"You are not coming back before you
leave for the West, Uncle Mark?" she
asked.
'They won't allow me the time. I
have to go to Washington tomorrow,
and then back to Texas"
She returned no answer, but went
with him to the house door, and turned
and faced him there, pulling at the
lapels of his coat.
"Send me a new photograph, Cap

Mark mumbled something to con-

answered. Nothing until that dinner

She linked her arm through his and
looked at him earnestly. "Uncle
Mark, it makes me unhappy some
times to think that have no memory,
no clear memory of my parents. am
sure that some day all this mystery
will be cleared up. Don't you hope
so?"
"Yes," answered Mark, miserably.
He had always wondered what the
child would be like. Towards half
yearly letters had always assumed too
much for granted. Mark had practi-
cally relinquished Eleanor to the Ma
jor, and he had never learned anything
about her that he had really wanted to
know. He had not imagined the pre-
cocious, high-strung, idealistic girl
whom he now saw. He knew that the
disclosure of her fathers dishonor, if
ever 1t came about, would shock her
into revulsion Of feeling that would
be fatal to the true development of
her character.
He had often wished that he had not
pressed that idea of the regimental
mascot upon the major. 1t had been
born in a mind attuned to the victory
Of Fat bloody day; in normal mo-
ments he would never have enter
tanned it. Yet Major Howard had
been more impressed than he had adj
mitted to Mark. The idea had
spread through the minds Of the other
officers. There was never Guard din
ner but Eleanor was sOlemnly toasted,
though she was not permitted to be
present, and somehow the child had
become a symbol in the minds of these
plain men in business and professional
life who spent two weeks in camp
each year.
After the war Mark had gone to the
regulars; but he was still in touch
with>the officers of the Seventeen, and
he knew that, if ever war came, he
could obtain an appointment to it.
II am sure that my father will prove
to have been brave soldier" said
Eleanor, clasping her hands eagerly.
"And sometimes" she continued, II
think that there must have been a
great mystery about him."
"Why?" demanded Mark, startled.
Because of the man who watches
for me-"
"Watches for you? It is imagina-
ton, Eleanor"
She shook her head. ssTve seen him

girl. "He waits at places that we pass

COUNTY ATTORNEY
DECLINES TO BE CANDIDATE
His Democracy Rebels at Control OF
Party by NOnpartisans, and in
Strong Language He Expresses His
Views.

Frank Harris Of Weiser, a pioneer
attorney of Washington county and
chairman Of the county council of de-
fense. was nominated. without oppO-
sition, on the Democratic ticket for
the position of prosecuting attorney
of his county, but has declined TO ac-
cept the nomination for the reason
that he is a Democrat and if he re-
mains on the ticket would, to that ex-
tent, lend himself to a quasi-endorse-
ment of the Nonpartisan league. In
his letter of declination he says in
part:
Herewith I am handing you a du-
plicate of my resignation and declin-
alton as a candidate for the office of
prosecuting attorney for your cOun-
ty. 1 cannot permit the use Of my
name in this connection under the
existing circumstances. for the reason
that 1 am a Democrat.
When / reluctantly agreed TO ac-
cept the nomination for this office
had no idea that any but Democrats
would seek or receive nominations on
our party ticket. but the result OF the
recent primary election has dispelled
that illusion.
THE returns show that a lifelong
Republican has been placed at the
head of the Democratic ticket, in a
contest against men whose Democ-
racy never has been questioned.
Now, to stand as a candidate on a
ticket of this kind would be equiva-
lent 10 renouncing the principles OF
