FOOLED THE SOLDIER BOY ot Used to FOMIIIIIIR waya That a.n nark, and Teirky. One of the soldier boys swung Morn In the parade with a heart far heaviet than iris gun, and ae he passed a bal. e.ony on tbe avenue! and saw a prette girI and a repulsively well-dressec man there, he scowled aercely. Last fall it was far otherwise. Ile smiled whenever he aaw the girl, and the re• pulsively well-dressed man ha.dnel dawned yet. Last spring the soldiei sacrificed two buttons from his bloust and had tbem made into hatpins for that girl. Two weeks ago he sat near her at the theatre, and when she re- moved her hat he saw that it had been pinned on with a turquoise deur de lis and an enameled violet. The military buttons were not there. The girl had promised to wear them forever and ever. The soldier boy went home and wrote her the witheringest note you can im- agine. He told her that as she no longer cared or him she could no Ion. ger value the button hatpins, and that he'd like them back again. Of course, he put in a. number of other remarks, some of them general, referring to the sex, and others specific and referreng to her and t� her conduct. She's a nice girl and an amiable girl, but that note was too much for her to endure. She sent a man •servant with her answer: "My Dear Mr. Skaggs: I would be very glad ba, return the hatpins you ask for, but I cannot• tell which ones they are. They are all so alike thee; I am not at all sure which ones you gave me, but I send you what I have, and you cin pick out yours. Very sin- cerely. FRANCES." And that's why the soldier boy scowled. Being a mere man, he didn't eirett dream that six of the hatpins Were borrowed. --Washington Post. Children Cry for C STOMA. Children Cry for CASTOR IA.

On the ylay he reached Boston he was 'to claim' the peerless young heiress as his bride. There could be no question. as en the suitability of the alliance; both were of wealthy families, young and hatidsome; they were both very young yet it was much better for illmont Ulvesford, thought those who knew him, that he should marry young, for they knew there was a spark of fic- kleness in tbe young min's nature. which gave promise of grave results, unless they aver° timely nipped in the bud. He had been abroad a year, /which makes quite a difference in the hu- man heart; and of late doubtful shad- ows flitted across his mind.

Ulmont leaned his bandseme head on his white hands, gazing thoeghttully , down into the white, foam- tipped waves, thinking bow strange it was that he had experienced none of this; one week more and he should see Am- erica and Loraine, yet the thought afforded hien not one extravagant pulse grow.

There was a time coming in the life of Ielmont Vivesford when he would look back to that ;teems with almost a cum on Ids lips; nou he only saw its brightness, the rare, ex- quisite face in its glorious beauty, atad the beautiful eyes gazing up in- to the haggard face of the old man et her side with wistful tenderness. "Did you like the song, grandfath- er?" she asked, eerily. Ills only nnswer was a sigh that died away in •a fitful moan. When he had asked Loraine Lorrim- er to become his wife he had fulfilled the dearest wish of his haughty, lady - mother's beart. One week more, then he could claim his bride. A week. .Alif what might happen in that time: volcanoes have swallowed peaceful villages; wind and tide de- stroyed great cities; whole nations in t he brief interval of a week have been swept front the face of the earth, Already a shadow ne larger than a bird's wing •had crossed his path, and in the distance the Ipwering storm clouds •weal suddenly burst upon his hapless head, sawing the seeds that wonld end in the bitterest of trag- edies. So intent was T5bnont with bis own thoughts, he had not observed an old man and a young girl kv.eeling by his Phe young girt little dreamed the picture she made, bar bead resting on the old man's shoulder, her long curls, darker than a raven's plume, lying against his snowy beard. "Izetta," said the old znan, solemn- ly?, turning toward her with a look she had never seen on his face before, "I ha.ve had such strange fancies, such strange forebodings to -night, In the whisperings of the wind I can hear Natalie's voice, and in those fleecy clouds I can see a white hand beck- oning me. Are you there, Izetta, child? I eannoe see you." "Grandfather, oh, grandfather," she said, "are you. ill? Speak to me?" She saw a strange. light gathering in bis eyes, and breaking over his face. The white lips moved, but no sound issued from them. Tien the roving eyes saw the figuee of a young man not far from them, leaning against the railing, watching them intently. By a great effort the old raan raised his hand, and beckoned bim to Isis side. There was scanaething in that pitiful appeal Ulmont Ulvesford could not resist. Long and earnestly those strange- ly brilliant eyes scanned the noble young face. • One band the old anan stretched out to him, and with the other clasped tire young girl to his breast. Ulanant took the outstretched hand with a firm, gentle pressure. "You are an American?" said the old man, speaking with difficulty. Ulmont bowed assent. "You have an honest and noble face," he said huskily, "ane I tan trust." Again Ulanont 'bowed over the wan, thin hand 'that clung tenaciously to bis. "We are strangers," continned the old man., 'but I have the Igreetest favor to ask of you that 1110..n Can grant to man." •a A puzzled Iodic swept over Uhnont's rave. • He scarcely knew what -an- Wirer to make bine. "You are surely ill, sir," said he, gravely. "Allow me to call the ship's physiotan to your aid." The other smiled faintly. "No," he whispered, "I shall soon be beyond all help.
