There seem to be any particular r I should stay around here any lon- ger.” Here he glanced at her a trifle ex- pectantly. No,” she replied, absently, smoothing a tiny wrinkle in the cover- ing of the hard little hospital bed. “Oh, you don’t think there is?” he demanded, fiercely, stopping in his task of buckling the straps of his army blanket. “Weil, the doctors say there isn’t,” she said, and then commenced straightening the bottles on the little stand with rather nervous fingers, “Confound the doctors!” He gave a vicious and final tug to the straps, and then added: “They're a precious set— the doctors.” “Why, one would think you hadn’t been well treated here,” she said, with rather an unsteady laugh. “Oh,” exclaimed the young officer, “you've treated me well enough—just as well as you would anybody else, I suppose.” A shadow of a smile crossed her lips, Aut there were tears in her eyes he did not see. “I don’t complain,” he went on bit- terly, watching the graceful lines of the little figure in the blue and white striped dress, as it moved to and fro. “Tomorrow they’ll bring some other poor fellow in here and you'll take just as good care of him as you did me, and let him go with just as much cheerfulness, too. Poor devil.” And the young lieutenant went to the win- dow and drummed on the glass with impatient fingers as he stared gloomily at the little patch of gray January sky visible above the high roof of the Church next door. Through many weeks of pain and weakness and weariness indescribable he had watched that little scrap of gray as he lay helpless in the grasp of that terrible fever—the insidious, treacherous, deadly fever of the trop- ics that had crept into his veins from the trenches of Santiago. At first it had meant him but so much blank «patch of sky. Then it began to take on a new meaning, as he noticed that it was often the background for a picture—a charming silhouette of a girlish face, with a little tip-tilted nose and tender curves of cheek and chin and waving masses of hair surmounted by a tiny, stiff cap of diaphanous white. He came to. watch for this dainty vision, and sometimes in his fevered dreams he would see iit when it was not there, always bending toward him with a smile of divine pity on the sweet lips. He could see it now, though his back was turned to the girl busy at the table, and he gave an inward groan as he remembered that soon he would see it no more, except in dreams. No one knew what that face had grown to be to him in the past few your doesn’t ason why nothing space, to that “AND WE'RE ALWAYS INTEREST« ED TO KNOW WHAT THE—THE PATIENTS DO AFTER THEY LEAVE US.” weeks. No one should ever know, he resolved, with a little tightening of the lips, as he turned from the window. She did not care for his going—that Was evident. “We take good care of everyone, I " she was saying somewhat cold- As for our being glad to see them nonser you, A groan bur “Oh, spare m that, claimed, wrenching him blue cape-overcoat. “And we’ alw know what the—the M I re army I wonder if you know how pretty you are?” “I wonder if you know how rude you are?” she retorted. “Do you suppose it’s easy to goodby to girl with a face | yours?” he went on recklessly, taking her hands—the poor little hands all }reddened and roughened by hospital | work | “Then it’s only my face that makes it hard. You flatter me, sir.” She }had withdrawn her hands promptly | from his eager clasp. | “Oh, well, it might be a little easier | if you were crosseyed or looked like— say like a | like Lydia Pinkham,” he admitted. And | they both laughed. After all, they were so young. “And you expect me to go away after j all these weeks with you and pretend not to care?” “You have no right to care,” cried, drawing herself up proudly. “Ah, give me the right,” he said. “I cannot go away without you, and leave you here to do this sort of work. This hospital life is unfit for you—it is wearing you out.” “Mr. Blakeslee, you do not know what you are asking, I’ve taken up this work against the advice and wishes of my family and friends. To give it up now would be to acknowledge my fail- ure. It would be too humiliating. You must not ask me to. And then--your own career. You have made a glorious record so far—you must not think of anything else for years to come. And your country needs you.” “No one else does, evidently,” he said, bitter] Well, goodby, little girl, and God bless you.” And without an- other word he left the room. The young officer strode along the echoing corridors with hasty steps. His heart was hot within him and he was ashamed to find tears in his eyes But when he reached the doorway he hesitated. Once outside and he had left her be- hind him forerer. He could not leave her this way. Without a word of thanks for the tender nursing she had given him. She must not think him ungrateful. she great Swiftly he turned and retraced his steps. The door of the little room where he had lain so long was partly closed when he reached it. What if she had gone. With a beating heart he pushed the door open softly and went in. And there she was—the stout-hearted young woman who had so bravely sent him forth to his duty and so sturdily kept to hers, with her head on the pil- low—his pillow—crying her heart out, just like any other unhappy girl. A moment he stood transfixed. Then in one bound he crossed the narrow room and took her in _ his arms, and as their lips met two ca- reers that might have been melted into thin air and disappeared forever.—Ed- gar Temple Field. HOW ACTORS ‘“‘MAKE UP.” “It is really wonderful what an ex: pert dresser can do for you,” said an actor recently. “I am between 20 and 30, and considered young looking for my age. Often I have to take old men’s parts, and this is how my dress- er goes to work: “First he lays on the flesh tint in grease paint, and then he touches me up here and there with rouge. Rouge is always necessary, for the simple rea- son that the glaring lights mckes éven a rosy face look almost deathly pale.

In Aurungabad, in Western India, the priests were paid for prayers for rain, to be continued for many days, with the usual accompaniments of proces- sions and much noise. When days and weeks passed and no rain fell the peo- ple of the district were furious against their gods. In some places they daubed the idols with mud and blocked the approaches to the temples with masses of thorns. In other places they made pools in the temples, into which they threw their idols, that they might shiver in water, as ‘‘a penalty for keep- ing the fields dr: “The people sit in gross darkne: —-London Presby- ! terian.
