folded arms, the young man stood before

of his country.
He had come back, as he supposed, to
make the dear girl. happy .who had hung
upon his neck when he bade' her good-by to
go to the wars. .
But the dear girl had received him coldly.
A hustling commercial traveler had taken
advantage of his absence and supplanted
him in her affections.
"So!" he said, at last. "You have no re
morse for your faithlessness!" .
"None whatever," she replied..
"You prefer, that chap with the sample
case to me, do you?"
"Rather.''
He drew himself up stiffly.
"Miss Grenadine Corkins," he said, "I
leave this house forever. I leave it," he
added, picking up his hat, "drummered out,
but not drummed out!"
And as he marched -out of the room with
a military step the heartless girl called out
"Left! left! left! left!" after him. Chicago
