to help you all I can. Any time I'm
ready-and glad. Just remember that,
won't you, because Well, there!
Goodby, goodby!'
He hurried away. She stood gazing
after him, astonished, little fright
ened and not little disturbed and
touched. His emotion was so evident,
his attitude toward her engagement
was so different from that which she
had anticipated, and there was some
thing in his manner which she could
not understand. He had acted as If
he pitied her. Why? 1t could not be
because she was to marry Malcolm
Dunn. If it were that she resented his
pity Of course. But it could not be
that, because he had given her his
blessing. What was it? Was there
something else-something that she did
not know and he did? Why was he
so kind and forbearing and patient?
All her old doubts and questionings
returned. She had resolutely kept
them from her thoughts, but they had
been there, in the background, always
When, after the long siege, she had
at least yielded and said yes" to NAL
colin she felt that that question at
least was settled. She would marry
him. Had not Mrs. Dunn told her over
and over again what a good son he
was and what kind heart he lad
and how he worshiped her? Oh, she
ought to be very happy girl! OF
course she was happy. But why had
her uncle looked at her as he did?
And what did he mean by limiting that
when things looked right they some
times were all wrong2 She wished
Malcolm was with her then; she needed
him.
She heard the clang Of the elevator
door; then the bell rang furiously. She
heard Evans hasten to answer. Then,
to her amazement, she heard her broth
er's voice.
Caroline" demanded Stephen. "Car-
oline! Where are you"
He burst into the room, still wearing
his coat and hat and carrying a travel
Ing bag in his hand.
"Oh"' he exclaimed, you're all right
then! You are all right, aren't your"
"All right2 why shouldn't be all
right? What do you mean2 And why
are you here"

"Why, old Sylvester, fathers lawyer.
I've got the message here somewhere.
No, never mind; I've lost it, I guess.
He wired me to come home as early as
possible this morning. Said it was
very important. And you didn't know
anything about it2"

Steve fastened to call upon Sylvester
and from him learned sufficient to
grasp the fact that he and Caroline
were practically penniless. This he
impaired to his sister, but unknown to
her he visited the captain and talked
over with him the probable effect the
situation would have upon the Dunns
He was anxious that Malcolm should
be kept to his promise.

Her voice failed her. She put her
handkerchief to her eyes for an instant
and then snatched it away and faced
them, her head erect. The pride in her
face was reflected in Captain Elisha's
as he regarded her.

supposed you'd act but In one way,
Caroline. 1 knew you. If Malcolms~
what he'd ought to be, said, he'll be
glad of the chance to prove how
much he cares for you. But Steve ap-
peared to have some misgivin's, and so
it seemed to me that his doubts ought
to be settled. And" rising as there
came tap at the door, Il caIlate
they're goin' to be-"
He walked briskly over and opened
the door. Sylvester was standing with
out, and with him were Mrs. Corcoran
Dunn and Malcolm.
They were past the sill before Cap
tain Elisha's greeting caused them to
turn and see the three already there.
Mrs. Dunn, who was In the lead, STOP
ped short in her majestic though creak-
ing march of entrance, and her ford
face turned brighter crimson. Her
son, strolling languidly at her heels,
started violently and dropped his hat.
Mrs. Dunn had come to the Offices Of
Sylvester, Kuhn & Graves at the senior
partners request to be told, as she sup
posed, the full and final details Of the
financial disaster threatening the War
rem family. If those details should
prove the disaster as overwhelming as
it appeared, then-well, then, certain
disagreeable duties must be performed.
But to meet the girl to whom her son
was engaged and her brother and her
guardian thus unexpectedly and unpre-
pared was enough to shake the compo-
sure and nerve of even such a veteran
campaigner as Mrs. M. Corcoran Dunn.
But Of the three to whom the meet
ing was an absolute surprise-Caroline,
Malcolm and herself-she was charac-
teristically the first to regain outward
serenity.

The Colorado desert goes science

to travellers in that neck of, sand

with any kind of telephone, with OF
without wires, at least up to a GER
tain distance.
Two men a mile apart can carry
on a conversation in an ordinary
tone of voice, particularly If there
happens to be a small hill behind
each, wsites Harvey Hall Kessler In
the Travel Magazine. The prevail
ing silence is so intense that it
might be called deafening. \
Perhaps, after all, the weirdest
among pany strange features of the
desert is the mirage. We have
camped perhaps and geneeto bed
early in the evening with the Their
mometer registering not far below
tt hundred mark. We awake,

blankets, and look toward the east.
There Is the slightest suggestion
of light in the sky there, which as
we watch grows slowly in. strength.
A grayish haze marks the horizons
edge, which stands out mere sharply
at one point, from which broad,
pale rays creep up and out high
above in the sky. These agaiH
slowly fade as a point of brilliant
light appears at their base. This
point grows to a half circle, then
breaks and runs along the sky line
in a surging, golden lake.
Upon the shores of this lake
cities spring up, towers, spires and
solid blocks. These fade into fields
and forests and farming scenes
fields of golden grain, cattle stand
ing in green alfalfa, SHEETS of wa
ter. The mountains near the edge
of the lake separate from their
bases and float upward, topple over
and stand on their heads, their un
wieldy feet in air.
Soon our lake begins to contract
and collect into a big round. ball OF
dazzling brilliance hung just abova
the horizon. Farms and forest dis
appear. The mountains, as though
abashed at being caught in such al
unseemly attitude by the broad
light of day, quickly resume their
normal position, while all the stark
landscape stiffens into unstirring en-
DURANGO of the garish light and
blazing heat of the desert sun. The

the gray desert remains.

THE VOICE IN THE DARK.
4 Memory of Pickett's Brigade and .
Night Attack.


Some years after the civil war
gathering of veterans of both sides
was exchanging "reminiscences at g
banquet given by the board of trade
of New York, writes Mrs. La Sale
Corbell Pickett in LiEpincott's
The presiding officer was Colonel
]. J. Phillips of the Ninth Virginia
regiment, Pickett's division. He
was speaking of night attacks and
recalled one in particular, not be-
cause of its startling horrors, but
because Of a peculiar circumstance,
almost resulting in the compulsory
disobedience of orders-the obey
ing, as it were, of a higher CON-
mand than that of earth.
'"The point of attack had been
carefully selected" said Colonel
Phillips, "the awaited dark night
had arrived, and my command was
to fire when General Pickett should
signal the order.
"There was that dread, indescrib-
able Stiffness, that weird, ominous
silence, that always settles owe,
everything before fight. You fell
that nowhere in the universe was
there any voice or motion.
Suddenly the awesome silence
was broken by the sound Of deep

music many times in circumstance
which intensified its impressive

there rang through the night tn
words:
"Cove- my defers eless head
With the shadow OF thy wing

"The guns were shifted. the vol

A Federal veteran who had bee
listening looked up suddenly an
said: f

There was a second of silence
