see that her eyes were big and soft
and frightened. She was hardly seven
teen. and to HHliard she had never
ceased to be the child of two years
ago. He bent and kissed her; her
lips were trembling, expressive.
"Now we've got to hurry" he said.
"Coi.e dear!"
1t was the tone he would naturally
use to n child but he had an uneasy
feeling that he had used 1t to wom-
an. Children's lips aren't expressive.
And he had another intuition-still
more upsetting to him-whlch was
that he had been observed. For on the
threshold of the outer door Carol and
Armstrong and Rufus Waring. as
though turned back to inquire into the
cause OF Hilliard's and Angela's delay,
were standing.
He could not tell, of course, whether
they had actually seen him. 1t was
possible that in the dusk of the hall
way he had escaped; certainly there
was nothing in the manner of any one
of the three. when Hilliard Joined
them, to convince him one way or the
other. But he knew that he was In a
critical situation; he knew that to any
reasonable person who had seen him
at that spontaneous little outburst of
sentiment. his motives wouldn't appear
to be very Opaque.
No, the manner of those three who
had stood on the threshold was aston
ishlngly casual. Perhaps too casual.
Hilliard frowned, and tried to
glimpse their various expressions. All I!

and Hilliard knew.
For the remainder of the first stage
of that walk, he spoke not n word to
Angela, who trudged along by his side
with God knows what tumults In her
bosom. He thought not of Angela, nor
concerned himself with the storm he
had stirred within her. He was alb
sorbed solely with the puzzle which
lay before him. which was to detach
Carol as soon as possible, and to ex-
plain himself. Otherwise, his reputa-
tion was ashes even now.
And. to his unbounded joy, the op-
portunity came soon-nt the end of
the road, where the party halted for a
moment, to take a referendum as to
the route. Armstrong strayed yard
or two too far, and on the instant Hill
lard was at Carols elbow. She said
nothing, nor did he; but when the
march was resumed he was beside her
--and beating his brains for an intro
ductory remark. He had to convince
her he had been trifiing with neither
herself nor Angela, and he walked a
good furlong before he could devise so
much as an opening sentence. At
length he cleared his throat.

CHAPTER WI.

Since Friday night. Hllliard had
lived only for Sunday; his whole exis-
tence had been turned TO Sunday, and
when at last the morning dawned, his
greatest fear was that he might not
live until dinner-time.
On reaching Carols side. he was
both awkward and incoherent; and he
failed to derive encouragement from
the realization which gradually stole
over him that the Durants had asked
number of other guests to dinner.
Armstrong was waiting patiently in
the aisle. and keeping closer to Carol
than Hllliard liked, and there was also
bright-faced boy of nineteen or twen-
ty who had promptly attached himself
to Angela-his name was Waring, and
he was the grandson OF the patriarch
al clergyman, with the head of Moses
and the spirit of youth. who presently
came down to Join the little group, and
complete It. So that altogether there
were nine people who finally sat down
to table: and Hillinrd's dream of quiet
progress and harbored conversation
was shattered In a twinkling.
IL was All very hoineiike' anu aii
very friendly. but to Hilliard, sitting
there between Carol and her mother,
the occasion was peculiarly acute. He
had lcng since discarded any residue
OF his active fears; he was con-
fdent In his disguise to the
point OF recklessness. for he had
covered the windings of the trail by an
infinite variety OF methods; and yet
without having any tangible facts to
grasp he was subiIy warned to re-
main on sentry duly over his polse.

a time. he amused hlmself by watch
Ing Angela and Waring playing their
world-old game across the table; after
that. he paid little polite attention
to Mrs. Durant. and to the clergyman; !;
and then snatching an opportunity un-
looked for, he gave his kindest smile
to Carol. and for an instant took the
monopoly from Armstrong. And he
had hardly looked down once into her
October-brown eyes before the mystery
of his restlessness was as clear as
crystal, and Hllliard was thoroughly
dumfoumded. and confused.

but he hadn't realized. until this i'm

LEAP YEAR ADVICE TO GIRLS
FEBRUARY IS BEST PROPOSING MONTH

February is the leap year month of leap year.
 For February is the month that gives the year its extra day. without which there could be no leap year.
 And February brings St. Valentines day, a day more productive of mar giages than any other day, day when tlie youthful heart takes courage, when eyes talk. and timidity vanishes.
 The notion that certain times of the year are more favorable to marriage than others, had it's origin in the days Of ancient Rome. June and February were the two luckiest hymeneaI months. Astra Cielo. author of Fortunes and Dreams" says half the world believes a wedding on St. Valentines day in .d;cates a happy marriage"
 An old astrological almanac gives the following as lucky days on which to be married: February l, g. 10, 19, 2S and 29. The other days in the month, in inmates the same almanac, are good proposing days.
 Cielo suggests some excellent recipes for those maidens who would acquire husbands:
 Slices of wedding cake passed through the birdes wedding ring and eaten by the bridesmaids will bring a husband within a year.
 "A piece of wedding cake should be put under the pillow of a maiden and if she dreams of a man she will marry him within a year.
 Crumbs of a wedding cake, if care fully preserved by the unmarried women present. will insure their get tIng husbands"

 Ride 'en, cowboy" is a cry that can be heard around the corral these days, for every squadron of cavalry has a bunch of honest-to- goodness cowboys.

 There is quite a difference in remount for cavalry. A cow-pony you break to ride yourself. and the next ''puncher who gets him has the ''sunfishen side -winden son -of-a gun to break all over again, nine times out of ten. A cavalry horse must be trained so he can be ridden by any trooper guided by a touch of the spur pressure of the knee or calf of the leg. and his pace increased or de- creased by shifting the weight in the saddle seat.

 Horse Helps Train Men
 As a rule old, dull horses are used in mounted recruit drill. By old we mean horses that have been IS months or more in service-then the horse helps train the man. But a good drill instructor can take new recruit John, as they call them in the cav alry-on an untrained remount-if said John can ride at all-and in three to five months turn out a first class cavalryman and a fair drill horse.

 When the spring recruit drill is over and the men are assigned to their respective troops, the real fun com menceS- It is thrilling sight when two or more troops of well trained men and horses are at drill. The flash of the saber in the sunlight, the roar Of pounding hoofs as the horses sweep from one end of the drill field to the other. And let it be known that when a trooper has drawn his saber and has it extended the point of said saber is even with his mounts right eye. that horse is going away from there, for that is the position of the weapon at the order, charge sabers. There is not a word spoken in real cavalry drill, the orders are being given in a deaf and dumb language, known only to cavalrymen, by the of ficer in charge. The raising and drop ping of the hand, the extending of one two or four fingers, all have their meaning, are comprehended and the command executed with an ease and smoothness of a well oiled piece of machinery
