Brandie was having toast the colonel's, and Wes Willie Winkie seared, strong is the possession of • good -conduct bade' won for not chasing the hens round the compound. He regarded Brandi' with gravity for at lease ten minutes, and then delivered himself of hes opinion. "I like you,' said he slowly, getting off bis chair and coming over to Brsn- dis. "I like you. I shall call you Coppy, became of your hair. Do you mind being called Coppy? It is because of v. hair, you know." Here was one of the most emburas- ing of Wee Willie Winkie'' peculiarities. He would look at a stranger for some time mod than, without warning or explanation, would give him a tame. And the name stuck. Nn regimental penalties could break We. Willie Winkie of this habit. lie loot his good -conduct badge fur christening the Commissioner's wife ''Poo•'; but nothing that the colonel mold do made the Station forego the nick -name, and Mrs Collin remained Mn "Pubs" till the end of her stay. 8o Brandin was christened "Coppy," and rose, therefore, in the estimation of the regiment If Wee Willie Winkle took an inter- est in say one, the fortunate mac was *pried alike by tbe mess and the rank and file. And in their envy lay no suspi clog of self-interest. "The onion"'s sou" was idolized on hie own merits en- tirely. Yet Wee Willie Wiokie was sot lovely. His face was permanently freckled, as his legs were permanently scratched, and in .pita of his mother's almost tearful he had in- sisted upon haring hie long yellow locks cut short in the military fashion. "I want my hair like Sergeant Tammil's," said We. Willie Winkie, and ha father abetting, the sacrifice was acoomplub- ed. Three weeks after the bestowal of his youthful affections on Lieutenant Bran- dis--benceforth to be called "Coppy" for the sake of brevity-- Wee Willie Win- kie was destined to behold strange things and far beyond his comprehen- sion. Coppy returned his litiog with inter- est. t)cppy had let him wear for five rapturous minutes his own big sword - just as tall as W.. Willie Winkie. Coppy had promised him a terrier poppy ; and Coppy had permitted him to witness the s lr colons operation of atavism. Nay, te ire-Coppy had .aid that even he, Wee Willie Winkle, would rue in time to the ownership of • box of shiny knives, a silver soap -box and $ silver - handled "spotter -brush," as 11 ee Willie Wiokie called it. Decidedly, there was n 3 one except his father wk.) could give or take away 'cod -mediate badges at pleasure, half so wise, strong and valiant at Coppy with the Afghan and Egyptiso medals on his breast.

Under ordinary circumstances he would have spoken to his father, but he felt instinctively that this was • matter on which Coppy ought first to b..on- •ulted.

I tell you what. 1n thirty days from now you can tell if you Like -tell any one you like." Thus the secret of the Brandis-Allar- dyce was dependent on a little child's word. Coppy, who knew Wee Willie Winkie's idea of truth, was at ease,for he felt that be would not break promw.s. Wee Willie Winkle betrayed • special and unusual laterad in Mw Allardyce, and, slowly revcleing round that d young lady, was used to regard her gravely with utwinking ye. He woe trying to discover why Coppy should have kissed her. She was not half so nice as his own mother. On the other hand, she was C.oppy's proper- ty, roperty, and would it time belong to him. Therefore it behooved him to treat her with as much respect as Coppy's bit sword or shiny pistol. The idea that he shared a great secret in common with Guppy kept Wee W dlie Winkle unusually virtuous for three weeks. Then the Old Adam broke out, and he made what he called a "camp- fire" at the bottom of the garden.

Coppy came In the afternoon and attempted to console the culprit. "I'm under .worse," mid Wee Wi!lie Winkie mournfully, "and I didn't ought to speak to you." Very early the next morning he climb- ed to the roof of the hoose -that was not forbidden- -and beheld Mies Allardycs going for a ride. "Where are you going f' cried Wes Willie Winkie. "Across the river,' she answered, and trotted forward. Now the cantonment in which the 195th lay was bounded co the north by a river -dry in winter. From his earli- est years, Wee Willie Vtnkie bad been forbidden to go acro.. the river, and had noted that even Coppy-the almc.t almighty Coppy-had never est foot beyond tt. %Vee Willie Winkie had once been read to. oat of a big blue book. the history of the Princes and the Goblins -a meet wonierfol tale of a land where the Got:lins were always warring with the children of men until they were defeated by ooe Catch*. Ever since that date it seemed to his that the bare, black and purple hills across the river were inhabited by Goblins, and, in troth,every one had .aid that there lived the Bad Men. Even in his own hoose the lower halves of the windows werecovered with green paper on account of the Bed Men who mrgbt,if allowed clear riew,6re into peaoe(ul drawing-rowse aod comfor- table bed -roams.
