of the fact that this might be his last
chance for a chat with Amy Lawrence.
Gray manages to secure duty as officer of
the guard, that he may have an opportu

CHAPTER VI.—Preparations are maoe
for sending part of command to Philippines.
For some reasons Red Cross officials wish
their tables, where they havevbeen lunch

form directly under the side of the trans
port, but the officer of the guard has orders
to allow no one to Intrude on that space.
However Mrs. Garrison overhearing wish
of Red Cross official accomplishes tne end
by scrawling a note to the officer. The
colonel of tho regiment about to leave ar
rives and is surprised to see his reserved
space occupied. Joining Armstrong at this
momenthe shows him Mrs. Garrison's note.
Armstrong turns sharply to where Mrs.

xney were never invited out to tear or
dinner on the post—solemn functions
nowhere near so palatable as the whis
pered homage of stalwart young man
hood. "Nita is yet such a child she
infinitely prefers cadet society, and I
always did like' boys," explained Mrs,
Garrison. Some rather gay old boys
used to run up Saturday afternoons
on the Mary Powell and spend Sunday
at the Point—Wall street men of 50
years and much lucre. "Dear old
friends of father's," Mrs. Frank used
to say, "and I've simply got to enter
tain them/* Entertained they cer
tainly were, for her wit and vivadity
were acknowledged on every side, and
entertained not only collectively, but
severally, for 6he always managed to
give each his hour's confidential chat,
and on the Sundays of their coming
had no time to spare for cadet friends.
Moreover, she always drove down in
the big 'bus with them Monday morn
ing when the Powell was sighted com
ing along that glorious reach from
Poiopel's island and stood at the edge
of the wharf waving her tiny kerchief
—even blowing fairjr kisses to them
as they steamed away. No wonder
Xita Terriss was frivolous and flirta
tious with such an example, said so
ciety, and its frowns grew blacker
when the White Sisters, the Fairy
Sisters—the "Sylphites," came in view.
But frowns and fulminations both fell
harmless from the armor of Mrs.
Frank's gay insouciance. Nita winced
at first, but soon rallied and bore the
slights of the permanent and semi*
permanent residents as laughingly as
did her more experienced sister. Is'ita,
it was explained, was only just out of
school, and Mrs. Frank was giving her
this summer at the Point as a great
treat before taking her to the far west,
where the elder sister must soon go
to join her husband. Everybody knew
Frank Garrison. He had long been
stationed at the academy and was
man universally liked und respected—
even very highly regarded. All of
sudden the news came back to the
Point a few months after his return
to his regiment that- he was actually
engaged to "Witchie" Terriss. Hotou
the heels of the rumor came the wed
ding cards—Lieut. Col. and Mrs. Terriss
requested the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter Mar
garet to Lieut. Francis Key Garrison,
—th U. S. Cavalry, at the Post Chapel,
Fort liiley, Kansas, November —, lb94
—all in Tiffany's best style, as were
the cards which accompanied the invi
tation. "What a good thing for old
liill Terriss," said everybody who knew
that his impecuniosity was due to the
exactions and extravagancies of his
wife and "Witchie"—"And what a bad
thing for Frank Garrison!" was the
echo. His intimates knew that he had
"put by" through economy and self
deuial about $2,000, the extent of his
fortune outside of his pay. "She'll
make ducks and- drakes of it in the six
weeks' honeymoon," was the confident
prophecy, and she probably did, for,
despite the fact that he had so recently
rejoined the regiment, "Witchie" in
sisted on a midwinter run to New Or
leans, Savannah and Washington, and
bore her lord, but not her master, over
the course in triumph. To a student of hu
man nature—and frailty, that union of
faded and somewhat shopworn maid of
27 to an ardent ana vigorous young sol
dier many moons the junior was
easy to
account for. One after another Witchie
Terriss had had desperate affairs with
Ualf a dozen fellows, older or younger,
in the army and was known to have
been engaged to five different men at
ilillerent times, and believed to have
been engaged to two different men at
one time. Asked as to this by one of
her chums, she was reported to have
replied: "Do you know, 1 believe it
true I had totally forgotten about
Xed Colston before Mr. Forinan had
been at the post a week. Of course the
only thing to do was to break with
both and let them start fresh." But
this Mr. Colston, whose head had been
somewhat cleared by a month of
breezy, healthful scouting, accepted
anly in part—that part which included
the break. Forinan had the fresh start
and the walk over and held the trophy
just two months, when it dawned upon
him that Margaret loved dancing far
more than she did him—a clumsy per
former, and that she would dance
night after night, the lightest, dain
tiest creature in the hop room, and
never have a word or a look for him
who leaned in gloom3r admiration
against the wall and never took his
eyes off her. He became jealous,
moody, ugly-tempered and finally had
the good luok to get his conge as the
result of an attempt
to
assert himself
and limit her dances. She was blithe
and radiant and fancy free when Frank
Garrison reached the post, a wee bit

had said that Frank Garrison had
money.
There is no need to tell of the disillu
sion that gradually came. Frank found
his debts mounting up and his cares in
creasing. She was all sympathy and re
gret when he mentioned it, but—there
were certain comforts, luxuries and
things she had always been accustomed
to, and couldn't live without. Surely he
would not have her apply to papa. No,
but—could she not manage with a lit
tle less? He was willing to give up his
cigaTs (indeed, he had long since done
so) and to make his uniforms last
year longer—he who was in his day the
most carefully dressed man at the
Point. Well—she thought perhaps he
ought to do that—besides—men's fash
ions changed but slowly, whereas
wom
en's— "Well, I'd' rather be dead than
out of style, Frank!"
And so it went.
But if she did not love her husband
there was one being in whom her
frivolous heart was really bound up—
Nita—her "baby sister," as she called
her, and when Terriss, the colonel, went
the way of all flesh, preceded only a few
months by the wife of his bosom, the
few thousands in life insurance he had
managed to maintain went to the two
daughters. Not one penny was ever
laid out in payment of the debts of
either the father or husband. Nita was
sent to an extravagant finishing school
in Gotham, and along in May of the
young girl's graduating year, blithe lit
tle Mrs. Garrison arrived, fresh from
the far west, and after a few weeks of
sight-seeing and shopping the sisters
appeared at the Point, even half-mourn'
ing by this time discarded. Thirteen
years difference was there in the ages
of the Fairy Sisters, and not a soul save
those who knew them in former days on
the frontier would have suspected it
Mrs. Frank in evening dress didn't look
over 20.
One lovely evening early in August,
just about the time that Cadet Capt
Latrobe began to show well to the
front in the run for the prize, the two
sisters had gone to their room at the
hotel to dress for the hop. It was their
custom to disappear from public gaze
about six o'clock, and when they came
floating down the stairs in filmy,
diaphanous clouds of white, the halls
were well filled with impatient cavaliers
in the natty cadet uniform, and the
w.omen waiting to see. Then the sis
ters would go into the dining-room and
have some light refreshments, with a
glass of iced tea—and no matter how
torrid the heat or how flushed and
dragged other w0men might look, they
were inviting pictures of all that was
ever fresh, cool and fragrant. The two
fluffy blonde heads would be huddled
close together a minute as they studied
the bill of fare, and virtuous matrons at
other tables, fanning vigorously, would
sniff and say: "All for effect. They
know that supper bill by heart. It
never changes." All the same, at the
bottom of this public display of sisterly
devotion and harmony and in spits

bending over her with love and pas'sfoo
glowing in his handsome face, pleading
eagerly, clinging fervently to both her
tiny white-gloved hands. Mrst Garrison
saw it all in the Hash of a second, the
udjutant not at all, for with merry
laughter she repeated some words he
had just spoken as though they were
about the wittiest, funniest things in
the world, and looked frankly up into
his eyes as though he were the best and
brightest man she had met in years—
so his eyes were riveted,
and the tableau
had time to dissolve. All the same that
sight gave Mrs. Garrison rather more
than a bad quarter of an hour. She was
infinitely worried. Not because Pat
Latrobe had fallen desperately in love
with her charming little sister—that
was his lookout—but what—oh, what
might not happen if the charming little
sister were to fall in love with that,
handsome soldier boy. At all hazards,
even if she had to whisk her away to
morrow, that had to be stopped, and
girl looked Tike fielding you na tms
very afternoon. For my sake, Nita,
don't let it go any further—don't fall
In love—here—whatever you do."
The younger sister stood at the dress
ing-table at the moment, her face avert
ed. The Mary Powell waa just round
ing the point, and the mellow, melo
dious notes of her bell were stilt echoing
through the Highlands. Nita was gaz
ing out upon the gorgeous effect of
Bunset light and shadow on the east
ern cliffs and crags across the Hud
son, a flush as vivid mantling her
cheeks, her lips quivering. She was
making valiant effortB to control her
self before replying.
I'm not in love with him," she finally
Baid.
"Perhaps not—yet. Surely I hope not,
but it looks awfully like it was com
ing—and Nita, you simply mustn't.
You've got to marry money if I have to
stand guard over you and see you do
it—and you know you can this minute—
if you'll only listen."
The younger girl wheeled sharply,
her eyes flashing. "Peggy, you prom
ised me I shouldn't hear that hateful
thing again—at least not until we left
here—and you've broken your word
twice. You—"
"It's because I must. I can't see you
drifting—the way I did when, with
your youth and—advantages, you can
pick and choose. Col. Frost has mines
and money all over the west, and he
was your shadow at the seashore, and
all broken up he told me so when we
came here. Paddy Latrobe 1b a beau
tiful boy without a penny—"
"His uncle—" began Nita, feebly.
"His uncle had a sister to support
besides Paddy's mother. His pay as
brigadier in the regular service is only
$5,500. He can't have saved much of
anything in the past, and he may last
a dozen years yet—or more. Even if
he does leave everything then to Lat
robe, what'll you do meantime? Don't
be a fool, Nita, because I was. I had to
be. It was that or nothing, and father
waB getting tired. You heard how he
talked."
The younger sister was still at the
dressing-table diligently brushing her
shining, curly tresses. She had re
gained her composure and took occa
sional furtive peeps at Mrs.-Frank, now
seated at the foot of the bed, busy with
a buttonhook and the adjustment of a
pair of very dainty boots of white kid,
whose buttons gleamed like pearls.
The mates to them, half a size smaller,
peeped from the tray of Nita's new
trunk.
There came
a
footstep and a rap at
the door. "See what it is, Nita, there's
a love—I don't want to hop."
It was a card—a new arrival at the
hotel.
"Gentleman said he'd wait in the
parlor, 'm," said the bellboy, and van
ished. Nita glanced at the card and) in
stantly trouble stood in her paling
face. Silently Mrs. Garrison held out
her hand, took the card, and one quick
look. The buttonhook dropped from
her relaxed fingers. The card read:
"Mr. Gouverneur Prime."
For a second or two the sisters gazed
at each other in silence.
At last the elder spoke. "In heaven's
name, what brings that absurd boy
back here? I thought him safe in Eu
rope." ,-
CHAPTER IX.
One of the most charming writers of
our day and generation has declared
that "the truest blessing a girl can
have" is "the ingenuous devotion of a
young boy's heart." Nine mothers in
ten will probably take issue with the
gifted author on that point, and'though
no longer a young girl in years, what
ever she might be in looks, Margaret
Garrison would gladly have sent the
waiting gentlemen to the right about,
for, though he was only 20, "Gov"
Prime, as a junior at Columbia, had
been ingenuously devoted to the lit
tle lady from the very first evening
he saw hsr. A boy of frank, impulsive
nature, was "Gov"—a boy still in spite
of the budding mustache, the 20 sum
mers and the barely passed "exam1
that wound up the junior year and
entitled him to sit with the seniors
when the great university opened its
doors in October. Studies he hated, but
tennis, polo, cricket, riding and danc
ing were things he loved and excelled
in. Much of hiB boyhood had been
spent at one of those healthy, hearty
English schools where all that would
cultivate physical and mental manhood
was assiduously practiced, and all that
would militate against them was
rigorously "tabooed."
of
occasional tiffs and differences, there
was genuine affection on both sides,
for as a child Nita had adored Margaret,
and there could be no doubting the
elder's love for the child. Some regi
mental observers said that every bit
of
heart that eldest Terriss girl had was
wrapped up in the little one. Neither
girl, even after Margaret's marriage,
would listen to a word in disparagement
of the other, but in the sanctity of the
sisterly retreat on the third floor
of
the
old hotel there occurred sometimes
spirited verbal tilts that were quite dis
tinctly audible to passers-by in the cor
ridor, provided they cared to listen,
which some of them did. On this es^
pecial August evening Mrs. Frank was
in an admonitory frame of mind. They
had known Mr. La'trobe barely three
weeks, and yet as Mrs. Frank was
sauntering around a turn in Flirtation
Walk, leaning on the arm of the cadet
udjutant, there in the pathway right
ahead stood Nita, a lovely littlepicture,
with downcast eyes, and "Pat" Latrobe
At the coming of his twentieth birth
day that summer his father had hand
ed him his check of $5,000—the paternal
expression of satisfaction that his boy
had never smoked pipe, cigar or cigar
ette—and the same week "Gov" had
carried off the blue ribbon with the
racquet, and the second prize with tbe
single sculls. It was during the "ex
ams," the first week in June, when
dropping in for five o'clock tea of some
girls whom he had known for years,
he was presented to this witching lit
tle creature whose name he didn't even
catch. "We met her way out at an
army post in Wyoming when papa took
us to California last year," was whis
pered to him, "and they entertained us
so cordially, and of course we said if
ever you come to New York you must
be sure to let UB know—and she did—
but—" and there his informant paused,
dubious. Other callers came in and it
began to rain—a sudden, drenching
shower, and the little stranger from the
far west saw plainly enough that her
hostesses, though presenting their
friends after our cheery American fash
ion, were unable to show her further
attention, and the newly presented—
almost all women, said "so very
pleased" but failed to look it, or other
wise to manifest their pleasure. She
couldn't go in the rain. The butler had
'phoned for a cab. She wouldn't sit
there alone and neglected. She delib
erately signaled Mr. Prime. "The la
dies are all busy," she said, with
charmingly appealing smile, "but
know you can tell me. I have to dress
for dinner after I get home, and must
be at One Hundred and Tenth street
at 7:30. How long will it take a car
riage to drive me there? Oh, is that
your society pin? Why, are you still
in college? Why, I thought—"
That cab was 25 minutes coming,
and when it came Mr. Prime went with
it and her, whom he had not left an
instant from the moment of her ques
tion. Moreover, he discovered she was
nervous about taking that carriage
drive all alone away up to One Hundred
and Tenth street, yet what other way
could a girl go in evening dress? He
left her at her door with a reluctantly
given permission to return in an hour
and escort her to the distant home of
her friends and entertainers. He drove
to the Waldorf and had a light dinner
with a half pint of Hock, devoured her
with his eyes as they drove rapidly
