Lieutenant Newberry would see 10 II
that they had delicacies from the Off

he provided them with money When

There Is almost constantly line

thanks for the opportunity. given him

other asks for advice on the books

that, though the commander is busy
man. he will always take time to lend
a helping hand to any youngster anx-
ious to get on. Perhaps a third will
drop in to report the progress he is
making in his studies to fit himself for
higher rank. They all have some per-

And the years passed, and Mark
Wallace grew grayer and older, and
more set and sdispirited, with long al
ternating intervals Of resignation,
when he took life as he found it ara
was satisfied. But he always cam ;
put of these into brief periods of us-
rest, with the sense that he had awaiS-

In some lonely border post in the
freezing Northwest, he remained cap
tain. He had no friends in Washing
ton. In time-in long time he would
reach his majority, no doubt, to be re-
heved soon after, and waddle, with
stout old majors Of his own age, into
ornate clubs in army centers not quite
so far removed from civilization. He
looked upon this prospect with ironical
patience, and now and then asked
himself the unanswerable question
why he had remained in the army.

CHAPTER III.

Several years later Captain Mark
Wallace descended from a street car
and walked up the grounds of very
select young ladies' boarding school in
Westchester county, New York, kept
by two maiden ladies. Entering the
colonial portico, the captain rang the
bell and asked to see Miss Howard.
Five minutes afterward, having salts
fed the lady principal that he stood in
the ayuncular relation to her charge,
and was a man of blameless life, he
met Eleanor in the reception room.
1t was some years since he had seen
her. The grimy little waif of the San
tiago battlefield had shot up into a
slim, long-legged schoolgirl, with brown
hair tied back with a ribbon, and a
face that already showed the promise
Of beauty.
The girl hurried forward as If ex-
pecting an embrace, realized Marks
intention, and checked herself quickly
and held out both hands.

He was surprised at the girls sud-
den responsiveness to his words. She
grew very serious.
"Pve often thought about that, On
Gle Mark" she answered.
'But, of course, it may never hap

"You don't remember anything,

and yet I've thought so much about it
that I'm not sure how much of it is

swell, I'll take her on those terms,
Wallace" he said. ''The fellow was
bad lot, but, as you say, there may be
no reason why this little animal should
suffer for his sins. The mother was
decent, and there may be something In
that idea Of vicarious restitution.
I'll agree, Wallace, if you'll let me take
over the charge Of her till the wars
ended. Wen enter her on the mess

on her afterward, and may she never
know her fathers history. By the time
she's old enough to understand a mas

trimmings, for you to make start on
her in the morning."
He glanced at the sleeping child,
took Marks hand and went quickly
out of the tent. Under the sky he
stood still for a few moments.
"The ID scoundrelI" he NUT
tered.
At that instant his alert ear heard
what the sentry, posted some distance
away, had failed to catch-the rustling
of some moving figure in the dense
jungle grass at the edge of the camp.
The major remained perfectly mo-
tionless, except for his right hand,
which was swiftly Withdrawing his re-
volver from its case. Suddenly he was
transformed into action. He leaped
between the two last tents of the line,
to see a man confront him for an in

slant. In the light of the quarter
moon the major could not distinguish
how the intruder was dressed. 1t was
evident, however, that he had been
providing outside the tent which held
Wallace and the child.
"Halt!" shouted the major and the
sentry together, and, as the man drop
ped into the grass, the rifle and revol-
yer rang out simultaneously.
The SEMI, shouting to the guard,
came running up. The major and he
searched the spot, but they found no
body.
"One of those ID Cuban sneak
thieves!" muttered Major Howard as
he replaced his revolver in its case.
And he hurried away to look after his
men.

"Was this in Cuba, Eleanor?"
81 don't know, but I think so, Uncle
Mark, because remember running to
the window and seeing a great palm
tree outside, with spreading branches.
And there are other cities, and we
seem to go from place to place, always
watching for somebody, and yet, as it
were, hiding from people. I know we
avoid people, but it is an instinct only
that tells me so.
"And again I am with my father in
the jungle. 1 don't know how we got
there, but see the trees all around
me, and am afraid. We walk on and
on, and sometimes he carries me, and
we sleep under the trees and are

"And them" asked Mark in agita-

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

will be cleared up. Don't you hope

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 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 rerimental
