STEAK H0NORED WITH SALUTE

Epigram From imprisoned Brit
ish Soldier.

Col I. Thord- Gray, an "old-timer" Of
the British army, now chief of in
telligence with the Canadian exped-
tionary force in Siberia, once was ar
rested in Hermosilla, Sonora, Mexico,
where he Joined the constitutional rev.

as a cavalry commander. The ar
rest was an error, but Gray didn't
know it, neither did the Mexican cap
tain in charge of an adobe house which
served as a military Jail. Colonel Gray
demanded food after an elapse of II
hours. He was brought piece of
half-raw steak wrapped in butchers
paper-no plate, knife or fork.
With an oath, the BritiSher threw
the steak, paper and all, out of doors.
The guard, a squad of West Coast In
dians, was lined up on either side of
the entrance. The Mexican soldier,
like the horse, excels at sleeping while
standing. AS the steak and brown pa
per rustled by the guard awoke, and
each man presented arms.

The wine had been much jostled in
the carriage, and when the wire WAS
cut the cork popped out with a noise
like pistol shot and the champagne
was sprayed up to the ceiling. At this
the guard at the door awoke the Sec

and threw cartridge into the barrel

While Joe was in this frame of mind
a certain young lady, of whose exist

home from the office, and after eating
her supper she was going to extract a

muttered. drinking in the familiar
scene. II wonder what has become Of

A smile unseen by Joe lighted the
girls face.
And Effie Farmer?" she suggested.
For a moment Joe wondered if his
ears had deceived him. Then. wheel
ing round on her. he asked amazed
Say, were you ever in my home
town."
II kind of think I must have been,
one time" the girl answered reflective
ly. 81 kind of think there was boy
called Joe Annerley lived there. But

man was staring at her so rudely. He
seemed to have been stricken dumb,
too. He just stared! He stared so
long that she simply had to break the
citpnca Rnt tho bo
spoke first after ALL He had often
wondered about the little girl who
used to come to his mothers house,
the two blond pigtails hanging down
her back. But that was years ago.
She must be quite grown up by this
time.
Did you know Effie?' he asked
tensely.
The girl nodded. She still held her
head averted, and Joe wished she
would turn it into the zone of light
made by the street lamp. But she did
not seem interested. She had tucked
the picture under her arm again and
perate. In all the long years he had
spent in the giant city he had never
felt quite the loneliness that oppressed
him tonight.
"Say," he asked wistfully, "do you
ever hear from Etfie these days?" II
only he could get this girl to talk
little while it would help some. But
he got no answer. Evidently she re-
sented his persistence. Joe felt
ashamed of himself and started to
make matters worse with stammering
apologies and ordinations. He didn't
want to be rude, but he did want to
hear news of the home folks and he
wondered if Effie Farmer was married
and where she was living. He
At last the girl did turn. She lifted
her face to where the light fell fully
on 1t. A smile was on her lips-a smile
composed of mischief, of petulance
and not little happiness.
"JOe Annerley," she said, 81 think
you are very dull. If you happen to
want to know, my name is Effie
Farmer.''
That did it! Joe took one good long
last stare right into the girls face,
then, Selling the bundle from beneath
her arm, laid 1t on the sidewalk. He
opened his arms. then closed them
again around the form of Effie
Farmer.
"Efiie, darling" he whispered, hold
ing her close. we've just got to share
that picture-got to!"
And strangely enough a time came
when the picture again hung on a par
lOr wall-their parlor wall.
