He became moody, slipping off with his dog to look at the cool stars and suck bullets to help quench his thirst. Mercifully, water was soon found, but Jack did not brighten, in fact, his eyes became more bloodshot, his face more haggard. Lying face down in the white glare of the desert moon, & still little form huddled mo- tionless under a nearby sage-brush, a tellow-officer found Mr. Harrison late on the day the water was come upon. “What is it, Harrison?” brought an- \swer in strangled tones, “Her dog bit ame, and I carinot bear to look at watei, for a la 'v's lap, oddly contrasting With yet | am dying for a taste of it.” Bls rouch surroundings.

'Tumbiing the con- tents out of a kit until he found a sil- ver cup, trophy of the running track at West Point, he stuffed a handkerchief into it to deaden the noise and filled it to the brim with the now abundant water. One moment he pressed the goblet to Harrison’s lips, who clutched | it and tried to drink, the next, the| silver was crushed in his hand like a | cup of paper and thrown from him. | “No use, I can't!” groaned the strlcken officer. “There’s no hope, old friend.

A small black square over his heart showed the purpose of the tableau. The breeze of early morning gently stirred his hair, his eyes turned | a moment toward the sky bending| | over the valley and her he would neve | :er see again. But quickly rcturning | i to the stricken faces, and shaking the | hands of those who nervously fingere d ! | the guns they at that moment hated, he tried to comfort the hopeless band. | “Doys, please do not mind.

Don't tell her anything but that I died trying to save—don’t remember anything but that you are saving me from a hide- ous end.” Three times the officer in command tried to give the word, three times ho failed. Harrison, refusing a scarf for his eyes, raised them to the flag hang- ing dejectedly where a nerveless hand had failed to raise it above half-mast. | | When the sun buret in splendor overhead, a hero lay dead with & smile on his white lips.

Part of the time they may spend at the manicures; part at the hairdressers, and the rest shopping for pretty finery wherewith to deck their faces and forms. But good grooming is another matter for the busy woman who must get in her shampoo, manicuring and massage at odd moments snatched from pressing duties. Even the few minutes demand- ed for the ordinary process of dress- ing and bathing must be hurried through with thoughts intent on occu- | pations to come, and as for the stitch | in time, the sewing on of shoe bu!tons,l the polishing of boots, washing of gloves and such little services to the toilet which keeps a woman always dainty and well dressed, too often must these essential things be done in frantic haste at the last moment be- fore starting forth on some impera- tive errand. System, in the case of the hurried woman, is as valuable here as it is in every other labor. One evening should the week for “catching up” with one’s grooming. On that evening the hair may be sham- pooed and while it is drying the hands may be thoroughly massaged. While the water is being drawn for the night- ly bath, white gloves and light em. broidered silk evening gloves may be washed out in the shand basin and stretched over during frames. During the week everything that requires mending or darning will have been slipped into a capacious cretonne bag, and with the pile of mending at one’s hand, the drying hair spread over one's shoulder and plenty of leisure the work of repairing odds and ends will go very quickly. Last of all, the various boots and slippers will have attention. Vaseline will be rubbed in- to leather stiffened by wet; a whisk- broom will remove all dust around the soles and missing buttons will be firm- ly sewed on before the polishing lsl given. What a joy to start the ensuing week with the hair fluffy and clean, the hands in perfect condition, and 2 QO 2RI T U PSP OF O OO QOO NI OO0 [ IFE X everything in one's wardrobe daintlly | We represent the following reliable comyanias: ready for wear!
