 And then?" asked Mark in agita- tion.
 q remember nothing. I suppose the bullet that killed my father must have struck him while he was in the hut, but 1 have no picture in my mind at all."
 Mark mumbled something to con- ceal his agitation. And do you re- member me coming and picking you up?" he asked
 She shook her head respectfully. T don't remember anything else," she answered. "Nothing until that dinner in the ajor's house"
 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. l am sure that some day all this mystery will be cleared up. Don't you hope SOP"
 "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 it came about, would shock her into a 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. It had been born in mind attuned to the victory of teat bloody day; in normal mo- mentS he would never have enter tained it. Yet Major Howard had been more impressed than he had ad- mittcd to Mark. The idea had spread through the minds of the other officers. There was never Guard din her but Eleanor was solemnly toasted, though she was not permitted to be present, and somehow the child had become q 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 Seventieth and he knew that, if ever war came, he could obtain an appointment to it.
 q am sure that my father will prove to have been brave soldier" said Eleanor, clasping her hands eagerly And sometimes" she continued, "I think that there must have been a great mystery about him."
 Why" demanded Mark, startled.
 "Bccause of the man who watches for me-"
 Watches for you? It is imagina- ton, Eleanor"

 And you've told Miss Harper?' | was hysterlcal," answered the girl. shrewdly.
 Mark could see that, but he was certain that 1t was hysterla, that the idea had come to the child as the re- suit of breeding over the mystery of her percentage. The entrance of the lady principal put an end to their con- versation. Mark rose reluctantly. His visit had been all too brief, and 1t might be years before he saw the girl again.
 "Well. Eleanor, thls 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. 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.
 "SeDd me a new photograph, Cap tain Mark" she said. I'm not going to call you Uncle Mark any more."

"An older one?" asked Mark, lausn- ing, though he had a strange sinking at his beart. This child epitomzed home to him, and he had been home less since boyhood.
 You must forgive me-" she said, a little wistfully. Captain Mark, there's something I want awfully tC say to you, but it takes lot of cour- age" she added.
 Tell me just the same" answered Mark. You know, my dear, l want you to have everything you wish for. And if Major Howard won't give it to you, you just let me know. He has as sumed the responsibility for your up bringing, and I'm going to have the fun of giving you pleasure"
 'Tt's something that Major Howard cant give me, Captain Mark"
 Can I?"
 "Ycs," she said in low voice, pull ing at his coat, and suddenly raising her eyes to his. Mark Wallace saw the soul of mature woman lool; out of the eyes of the child When I'm old CT and 'have put my hair up, and wear long dresses--when I'm eighteen, say. II want you to marry me, Captain Mark"
 She was gone in flash, running along the corridor, while Mark Wal lace stood dunfounded 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 a man dreaming. It 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 a 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 toward him. But the man shamblcd off at quick gait and when Mark reached the bend he could see no- body.

MERCY

Since the cessation of fighting the
Red Cross has turned from making
surgical dressings to sewing upon
clothing for the ill-clad little folks
in Europe. One department has in
charge the making of infant layettes.
Certain ladies of certain city in
the east, presumably human ladies,
reported as was their custom at Red
Cross headquarters to sew, but when
given the tiny garments to WORK up
on coldly refused When the direct
or in charge asked the reason, the,
replied that these garments were in
tended for illegitimate children and
that decent women should not be
called upon to labor in such a cause.
Controlling her indignation, the
director carefully explained that
these layettes were not destined to
make the path of the wilfully de-
inquent girl easier, but to help out
what little they might in caring fol
the babies of those innocent youns
French and Belgian girls who hat
been victims of German officers. Re
plying that this made no difference
the women went home.
Such heartlessness, such failure t
understand the simple principles @
humanity, is we'll nigh incredible.
these women only knew it, they, nj
the pitiful ruined children whol
they scorned, are a disgrace to the
sex and to that great society who's
watch-word is Mercy"

KEEP THE BONDS

Carter Glass, newly appointed sec

cessary to issue sober warning to
the holders of Liberty bonds.
Some people," he says, seem to
feel that they are under no further
obligation to retain these bonds and
they are selling them and using the
money for unnecessary purposes or
exchanging them for other securities
or doubtful value. So long as the
United States needs to sell bonds,
those who hold the present issues
should not dispose Of them except
under the spur Of urgent necessity.
They have invested in the best Sc
curity in the world and It is both to
their own interest and to that OF
their government that these securi'
ties be retained"

very clear that there is very close
affiliation between the working out
OF socialism and autocratic govern
ment, says the Coast Manufacturer.
or course. government ownership
and paternalism require centralized
and autocratic power because they
work from the government down to
the people.
A republican form Of government
under the democratic theory Of rep
resentatives chosen by the people
works from the people up through
delegated power.
The great argument for rejecting
the California plan of social and
health insurance that carried weight
with the people was that it was too
autocratic.
It was compulsory on the free cit
izen whether he wanted to accept it
or not, and the popular form of Ger
man socialism is highly autocratic.
The most highly developed form
of socialism in our country, the non
partisan league. is willing to take
the farmers money, but not willing
to let him vote.
The delegates to its national con
vention in St. Paul just held wer'
the executive committee and dele
gates named by the national execu
tives, not chosen by the farmers.
They are nearly all prominent IL
socialist circles and advocate stat
and federal socialistic schemes bu

60 cans Of peas, 7S cans Of tomatoes
and okra and so cans Of sweet pota-
toes, making 1,41S cans altogether.
They were of such fine quality, too,
that they won praise and prizes in
