By Gwendolyen Overton. There nre more things In the service than brass buttons and dashing cavalry men and dying at the post of duty and the rest of the stock phrases of romance. There are a few fixed prin ciples nnd some prejudices which It Is just as well not to run lip against, be cause the Bwvlce can take revenge upon occasions. Ordinarily a tnodernte amount of tact and common decency will tnke you through until you have learned those things which arc set down in neither tue drill manual nor the regulations. But Miss Hndley hod only benuty mid puro check. She cnme from somewhere down the southern wny-Los Auge es or snu . Diego or something to visit the Strongs at Angel island. And from the moment she set foot upon the landing she began to make herself unpopular. She had had visions of stepplug ashore nmong u group of knesllug lieutenants, rather after the fashion of the accredited paintings of the "Landing of Columbus" or the "Jesuit Fathers." But the lieutenants were busy, or they were taking naps or sitting on their front porches, with their feet on the railings. They crossed the hay to the city daily and graced every cotillon and function worth speaking of, and beautiful girls were not new. They hnd never even heard that Miss Iladley was beautiful. They were In deep darkness concerning the local belles or wnercver it was, down south. However, several of them met her at dinner that night, and the rest called aft erward, as Is the custom. Miss Uadley did not know It was the custom. She thought it was all on her own account and that the post was beginning to come to Its senses, which made her yet moro arrogant. Some dispositions thrive upon being made much of, returning courtesy with good coin; the latent meanness of others warms to life, as the snake on the woodchoDper's hearth. As If there were not enough unattached men to occupy her, she turned her attention pointedly to La Roche, nnd when she saw his wife wince she redoubled her energies. La Uoeke was French and flirtatious and clever, and, whatever else was to be said of Miss Iladley, she was clever, too, in a worldly sort of way, but Mrs. La Hoche was stupid, and bliishlugly aware of her stupidity. Still, she was a good hearted little thing and had done a kind turn to every oue in the garrison at one tune or another, and it resented seeing her made jealously wretched, her pule eyes filling and her lips quivering ns the beauty drew La Iloche to a remote cor ner and leveled her batteries upon him. Everybody was scandalized, and the feel ings of the bachelors were hurt, it wa just a little too Insolent. So they sought a punishment to tit the crime, ami this it what they devised: There was one man wo hnd not enlled that first night. It was 1'roetor, the ad jutnut. He had been over in the city nt a dinner. When he came back, by the first boat, in the morning, a deputation met him at the wharf and i-iuiU'il him off to his quarters and told him what was expected of him. "I'm not sure that 1 like the part, though, you know," said 1'roctor when they hod explained. They impressed upon him that the dignity of the service demanded It, also that it would be good for the girl. Proctor said it would fall through at once. "We only want It to last a day or two," said the deputation, On that understanding he consented, "But I won't lie, you know," he told them. "You'll have to do any of that." "It won't be necessary," they assured him. "If she asks which Is unlikely we will say with one accord that you ara a brevet bachelor." You will not find the definition of that In the tactics, So I'roctor went over to the Strongs' quarters and found Miss Hadley, got up in the sort of mourning robe that It is not customary to display to the gaie of several hundred boldieis, more or less, In a coiner of the porch with La Roche. I'roctor ousted him in about ten minutes. He fought openly, dwelling upon the charms of La Roche's four small chll dren, the details of the cunning things they said and of the last attack of croup of the youngest, how its "da-da" had cursed It and bow the babies loved him Miss Hadley laughed. That hurt La Roche's self esteem, and he went home. Then Proctor started in to do as he was bid. It was a pleasant game enough Miss Hadley could be agreeable when she chose. She was the one man at u time stamp of girl, and for the nonce Proctor was the man. He staid all the morning. also to luncheon, also all the afternoon. Part of the time they played together on the mandolin aud guitar, aud fur the rest they talked. Then he staid to dinner and until some time after "taps." When olfi cial duties called him off, he was back again surprisingly soon. Of course there was the chance in this kind of thing that MIs3 Hadley might grow sick of him. But he took it. There was the better chance that she would be very much flattered, and Proctor be lieved that ho was the sort of fellow who could be interesting for IS hours at a stretch. "It's not fair," Mrs. Strong protested to her husband. "You'd have thought it so If It had been me Instead of La Roche," he sug gested. "But It's not fair to Ella," she Insisted weakly, "Ella will think it a good joke, which It Is. He has written her the whole thing. He told me so." "But is It right of us? Mtss Hadley Is our guest." "Oh, no, she's not. That's a mistake, We are here on sufferance. You are use ful to order the meals and I to guard her against Intruders on their tete-a- tetes," He reminded her ot episodes to proor or this. "nas she asked you about him?" Mrs, btrong wanted to know, He said that she had. "And I told her that he was a brevet bachelor. Proc tor himself came In at the moment, aud she dropped it. Now you be still for a day or two, and let things take their course." Aud they took It at a hand gallop. Miss Hadley might have guessed that one hrst lleutenaut could never have af forded all the fancy boxes ot flowers and candies that came over for her in Proctor's name by about every boat, but she did not stop to reflect probably, aud she was mightily pleased, both with her self and him, whereupon she was still more disagreeable to every one else. But a tiny cloud began to float across her blue sky. The flowers aud sweets were many and arrived regularly, and DOES COFFEE AGREE WITH YOU? It not, drink Qraln-O-made from pure grains. A lady writes; "The first time I made Qraln-0 1 did not luce It but after using It tor one week nothing would Induce me to go back to coffee." It nourishes and feeds the system.

Cleansing, repairing and pressing done to order Hytner nuuaing uponemgnu when they wnuted Proctor nt the adju Unit's ollice they sent for lilm to the Strongs. And yet, though the week of her visit was drawing to a close, he was no nearer to loveinakliig than upon the first day. She grew a trille uneasy. It was not that she wonted Proctor, but that she wanted to know she could have blm. So she condescended, in the ditem ma, to speak- to her host. "Mr. Proctor Is a desperate flirt, don't you think?" she asked. It wns meant to be light, hut it was n shade anxious. That would have been Strong's chance to have put an end to a joke that was going too far. It had gut away from them, nnd the man to stop it refused to arise, strong funked. He looked mean and said that he had never known Proc tor to flirt. "He is swathed in red tape, as a general thing has notions of duty and the rest ot If." Then he went off ami swore at Proctor in his own breast. Which is humun nature. I'roctor for ins part swore at every body else openly. I in so far iu It now thut I don't know how to get out," he said. And they grinned and suggested that lie tell the truth and shame the devil. Anu reel more or a confounded ass than I do now." "Consider; you are avenging us," cooed the bachelors. He said rude things about them. They asked what he would like them to do. Shall we come in a body the next time you are en tete-a-tete and explain, or shall we do It while you are absent anu cant dercml yourself Any way you put It you will look a good deal of a cad, you know." They chuckled. Proctor sulked. "Mrs. Strong has got to do it, he announced. Mrs. Strong won't. She feels about as small ns you do. She goes around with the look of a stage conspirator. You might drnw off gradually, they advised. 1 might make a qualified flat of my self!" said Proctor. "I've done It as it Is." He departed to keep an engagement to walk around the island with Miss Uadley. v hen they started, he made the sol emn resolve that before they got to the quarantine station she should know all. but she swung into the post as blissfully Ignorant as she had left it. He had funked again. And at this point fate came to his aid. They sat on the steps of the Strongs' quarters resting, when an orderly brought a telegram for him and a box for Miss Hadley. The box contained violets. Proc tor was pleased to think what those llttlo attentions were costing the other bach elors, but he glanced at his own card Ir ing In the purple fragrance with loathing. j. hen be opened the telegram and nut it hastily in bis pocket. Miss Hadley asked what it was. lie said that It was from some one he bad to meet at tue train tomorrow. "Which train?" said Miss Hadley. "The train from the east," said Proc tor. She told him that she, too, was going to the city on the early boat, for a few hours. "We may strike the same one coming back." He thought it would probably be hit unmentionable luck. And It came to pass as Miss Hadley nau predicted. They struck the same boat. She came aboard hurriedly, just as the gangplank was being drawn in, and she looked about for Proctor, calmly, possessively, sb though he must, of course, be there. But ho was not to be seen. Bo she stood and talked to a group ot post people, as the boat swung out into the bay and the foggy wind bleu stiUly about them. She was not scusl live, yet she was dimly aware that they were civil beyond their wont; even there seemed a vague sympathy In their man ner. But she was busy and abstracted, watching for I'roctor. He might be be- low deck or In the cabin. At length he appeared from the other side of the deck, walking with another girl. The girl glanced at her with a half smile. She was so pretty that Miss nnd ley's lips set, and she forgot what she bad been saying. Proctor and the girl strolled to the stern and stood there. Then Proctor caught Miss Hadley's amazed eye, and he raised his hat. But she beckoned. It was assurance, to say the very least, but he went to her, leaving tue other c rl. The group would have been glad to melt away, but some way It couldn't. Then Miss Hadley's admirable and per feet cool cheek reached Its zenith. "Who is your pretty friend?" she asked. Brum mel could not have been more superb, There was a pause. Some one might have helped Proctor out, but no one did. A snicker came from the group and turn ed Into a cough. Then the man In Proctor came to his aid, the realization that It was all everybody else's fault, anyway Miss Hadley's, In particular, He looked at her in stern reproach. "She's my wife, Miss Hadley." The very winds and the screw were hushed. In the silence Proctor's eyes be gan to shift. But Miss Hadley's own were on his face, and they never waver ed. Somewhere In their limpid depths there was a twinkle. About the corners of her mouth there was an unmistakably amused twitch. She raised a bunch of violets to hide It. They were the ones that had come the day before. He mov ed uneasily and met the eyes peering above the flowers again. This time they held him. "I wonder" Miss Hadley's voice came slowly, with a distinctness that must have penetrated even to the stern "I wonder whether It Is I or you all, who feel the most cheap? Take me to meet your wife, Mr. Proctor." And he took her. Argonaut. Yon Notlo He Said "Ilealde."

Louise Blakcly wns sitting In the din ing car, pieparing to enjoy her supper, when the brnkeman came in and an nounced that the car would have to be vncnted, ns, owing to some accident, It could not lie carried farther. Notwithstanding the fact that Louise was deeply iu love and even now on her way tu visit the family of her liance, she was possessed of a healthy young appe tite, and she looked longingly at the tempting nrray of dishes which had been net before her just pievlous to the stern edict of the brukeman. It was cruel to be torn nway from such a good supper, still untouched, she thought, and, yield ing to n sudden Impulse, she hastily wrapped n chop, some rolls and a gen erous supply (if olives in a napkin aud carried them with her Into the sleeping car. She was conscious of the amused glnnccs of one or two of her fellow pas sengers, particularly a white bearded, benevolent looking old gentleman, whose eyes twinkled as she marched Into the car with bend held haughtily erect and the napkin safely clasped In her bands, but she reflected that she bad paid for her supper and she had a perfect right to stay the pangs of hunger, even If she did appear a little ridiculous. Louise wns n very Independent young womnii; If she hnd not been she would never have won her father's and mother's con sent to take this trip. They had not been able to see the tragedy in the separation of two loving hearts for n period of some 00 days. "Just think of It. mamma, dear," she had snld; "If you don't nllow me to ac cept Jack's mother's invitation It will be two whole months before we are togeth er, for Jnck says he can't possibly leave his business again until after the spring trade." "But I den't like the Idea of your going out to Chicago alone, her father argued. And you don t know his people, sup pletncnted -Mrs. Blnkely. "It might be most nwkwnrd for you, Louise. ou will put me on the train, papa and I certainly know enough to take care of myself until Jark meets me, so you see there is no objection to my going alone. And. mamma, one of my reasons for wishing to make this visit Is to get acquainted with Jack's people. I think every girl ought to make it her Christian duty to liecome acquainted with her pro spective relatives, so she will go into the family with her eyes open, she said with a line assumption of wisdom. Of course she triumphed In the end. Mr. and Mrs. Blakely hnd not spoiled her sys tetnatlrally for 113 years for nothing. Just as Louise was settling down to eat she wns horrified to discover that her pockctbook was missing. She beckoned wildly to the porter, who was leisurely pacing the platform. "W on t you please run down where the dining car is nnd get my pockctbook? left it on the table. I will be so much obliged to you." "Vze sorry, miss, but It's 'gainst the rules to leave the car," he answered with Importance. Louise turned In desperation to the con- ductor. who seemed just about as ada mnntine. "Can't he go. really?" she pleaded, "My ticket, checks and money are In ru pockctbook. Oh, whnt can I do?" Her voice broke into n sob, and the white bearded old gentleman, who had been listening to the conversation, said as he laid his hand kindly on her shoulder: "There, there; I'll go for yon." "Oh, thnck you! How good of you! 1 hate to have you go, and yet I want my pocketbook." The train may start at any moment; yon may take great chances, sir, of get ting left." remarked the conductor, not attempting to conceal his disapproval. "I will risk It for this little woman." laid Louise's new friend as he started n his uncertain errand. Going back to her seat, she tried not to worry. She philosophically decided to eat her lunch, and, opening the napkin, was stnrtled to see, side by side with the chops, rolls nnd olives, her lost pocket book. Instead of rejoicing, she gated upon It with loathing almost nnd sat perfectly still with it nnd the untnsted food in her lap. sadly awaiting the return of he: knight. Every sound of whistle or engine bell sent terror to her heart, and she did not drnw a peaceful breath until nt last, just berore the train started, the old gentle man appeared, looking weary and dis heartened.' He stopped before her. about to Inform her of his fruitless search, but she tragically pointed to her pockctbook and burst Into tears, which seemed to soften any wrath he might have justly felt at her carelessness, for, to her relief, he pnssed on and disappeared into the smoking compartment. She did not see him ngaln during the remainder of the Jonrney. The next morning, when Jnck took her band to greet her as she stepped smiling ly off the train, he reached his other hand over her shoulder. "Why, hello, father!" he said. "I wish I had known you were coming home on this train. You might have met Louise and taken care of her. She turned and blushed as she rccog' nlzcd her benefactor ot the evening be- To r. "Well, well; so this Is your sweet' heart," he said, smiling reassuringly at the much disconcerted Louise. "Well, Jack, my son, she needs a protector." What to Eat.
