Miss FKANCES E. WIU.AHP attributes her g^aiu in health and weipht to the fact that while she was visiting in England they made her eat five hearty meals a day. There are people in this country who would say the eating of live hearty meals a day is a form of intemperance.

Eugene V. Debs, when editor of the J-'ircmcn's MiI'jitiiuc, a few years ago. was responsible for the following on the subject of boycotts, which sounds I ritnbilitv 'had very queer in view of what Eugene V. and he had made damaging admissions Dobs has been doing such a few to Wilton of the existence of a cause months later: of worriment and perplexity, and this "Just here we inquire what has been i'ton told without compunction.

Every man iu the United States has been from the had heard what Chester said that Mr. first, and continuously, a mistake, a Jerrold must not quit the garrison unstupid error, a total misapprehension of conditions, situations, institutions and rights. We are discussing a principle in human affairs as they exist around us, and of which we are required to take cognizance, and our conclusion is that boycotting is a wrong of such magnitude, of such wide spreading and far-reaching injustice, that it can never have popular approval, and in fact never ought to have approval. Furthermore, we are of the opinion that the average man—we like the term average, because it does not include cranks, visionaries, Utopians, but takes in men of common sense, which is, after all, the best sense that the world possesses—such men oppose boycotting, if for no other reason than it does more harm than good, often striking with disastrous force the very men it assumes to benefit."

nel's house and rang the bell. A servant appeared. "Mrs. Maynard wasn't very well this morning and was breakfasting in her room, and Miss) Alice was with her, if the ladies would please excuse them." And so the em isI saries returned unsuccessful. Then, too, as we have seen, despite his good intention of keeping matters hushed as much as possible, Chester's nervous irgot the tetter of him,

til he had first come and seen the temporary commanding officer, and Hall had speedily carried the news to his friend. "Arc you ready to go?" asked Mr. Jerrold, who was lacing his lxiots in tho rear room. '"No. I've got to go and get into 'cits' first." "All right. Go and be lively! I'll wait for you at Murphy's, beyond the bridge, provided you say nothing about: it" I "You don't mean you are going I against orders?" "Going? Of coursol am. I've got old Maynard's emission, and if Chester means to revoke it he's got to get his adjutant here inside of 10 seconds. What you tell me isn't official. I'm off now!"

And when the adjutant returned to Captain Cher,tor it was with tho infor-1 matiou that he was too late. Mr. Jerrold's dogcart had crossed the bridge five minutes earlier.

Perhaps an hour later the colonel sent for Chester, and tho captainwent to his house. Tho old soldier was pacing slowly up and down tho parlor floor. "I

wanted you a moment. A singular thing has happened. You know that 'directoire' cabinet photo of Alioe? My wife always kept it on her dressing table, and this morning it's gone. That frame —the silver filigree thiua—was

found In-hind :i sofa pillow iu Alioo's room, and she declares she has 110 idea how it pit there, (.'hester, is there auy new significance iu this-"

Tho, captain bowed assent. "What is it?" "That photograph was seen by Major Sloat in Jerrold's bureau drawer at reveille this morning."

And such was the situation at Sibley the August day the colonel took his wife and her lovely daughter to visit Aunt (trace at Lake Sablon.

CHAPTER VIII.

In the big red omnibus that was slowly .toiling over the dusty road several passengers were making their way from the railway station to the hotel at Lake Sablon. Two of them were women of mature years, whose dross and bearing betokened lives of ease and comfort Another was a lovely brunette of less than 20, the daughter evidently of one of these ladies, and an object of loving pride to both. These three seamed at homo in their surroundings and were absorbed in tho packet of letters and papers they had just received at tho station. It was evident that t-hoy were not new arrivals, as wero tho other passengers, who studied them with the half envious feelings with which newcomers at a summer resort are apt to regard those who seem to have IK'en long established there, and who gathered from the scraps of conversation that they had merely been over f" say goodby to friends leaving on the very traiu which brought in the rest of what we good Americans term "the busload." There wero women among the newly arrived who inspected the dark girl with that calm, unflinching, impertinent scrutiny and half audibly whispered comment which, had they been of the opposite sex, would have warranted their being kicked out of the conveyance, but which was ignored by the fair object and her friends as completely as were the commentators themselves. There were one or two moil in the omnibus who might readily have been forgiven an admiring glance or two at so bright a vision of girlish beauty as was Miss Renwiek this August afternoon, and they had looked, but the one who most attracted the notice of Mrs. Maynard and Aunt Grace—a tall, stalwart, distinguished looking party in gray traveling dress—had taken his seat close to the door mid was deep in the morning's paper before they wero fairly away from the station.

Laying down the letter sin: had just finished reading, Mrs. Maynard glanced at her daughter, who was still engaged in one of her own, and evidently with deep interest "From Fort Sibley, Alice?" "Yes, mamma, all three—Miss Craven, Mrs. Hoyt and Mr. Jerrold. Would you like to see it?" And, with vising color, she held forth the one in her hand. "Not now," was the answer, with a smile that told of confidence and gratification both. "It is about the german, I suppose?" "Yes. He thiuks it outrageous that we should not be there—says it is to be the prettiest ever given at tho fort, and that Mrs. Hoyt and Mrs. ("raven, who are the managers for the ladies, had asked him to lead. He wants to know if we cannot possibly come. "Are you not very eager to go, Alice? I Ehould bo," said Aunt Grace, with sympathetic interest "Yes, I am," answered Miss Honwiok peflectively. "It had been arranged that it should come off next week, when, as was supposed, we would be home after this visit It cannot bo postponed, of oourse, because it is given in honor of all the officers who are gathered there for the rifle competition, and that will

he all over and done with today, and they cannot stay beyond Tuesday next We must give it up, auntie," and she looked up smilingly, "and you have made it so lovely for me here that I can do it without, a sigh. Think of that— an army german—and Fanny Craven says the favors are to be simply lovely. Yes, I did want to go, but papa said he felt unequal to it tho moment he got bark from Chicago, day lieforo yesterday, and ho certainly does not look at nil well. So that ended it, and I wrote at once to Mrs. Hoyt. This is her answer now." "What does she say?" "Oh, it is very kind of her. She wants mo to come and bo her guest if the colonel is too ill to come and mamma will not leave him. She says Mr. Hoyt will come down and escort me. But I would not like to go without mamma," and the big dark eyes looked up wistfully, "and I know she does not care to urge papa when he seems so indisposed to going."

Mrs. Mayuard's eyes wero anxious and troubled now. She turned to her Bister-in-law: "Do you think he seems any better, Grace? I do not.'' "It is hard to say. He was so nervously anxious to got away to seo the general the very day you arrived here that there was not a moment in which I could ask him about himself, and since his return he has avoided all mention of it beyond saying it is nothing but indigestion and he would le all right in a few days. I never knew hin? to suffer iu that wav in my life. Is there any regimental matter that can be troubling him?" she asked ill a lower tone. "Nothing of any consequence whatever. Of course the officers feel chagrined over their defeat in the rifle match. They had expected to stand very hi/h, but Mr. Jerrold's shooting was unexpectedly below the average, and it threw their team behind. But the colonel didn't mako the faintest allusion to it. That hasn't worried him anywhere near as much as it has the others, I should judge. "I do not think it was all Mr. Jerrold's fault, mamma," said Miss Renwick, with gentle reproach and a very beooming flash. "I'm going to stand up for him, because I think they t.U blame him for other men's poor work. He was not tho only ouo on our team whoso shooting was below former scores.'' "They claim that none fell so far below their expectations as he, Alica You know 1 am no judge of such matters, but Mr. Hoyt and Captain Grayboth write the colonel that Mr. Jerrold had been taking no care of himself whatever and was entirely out of form." "In any event, I'm glad tho cavalry did no better," was Miss Renwick's loyal response. "You remember the evening we rode out to the range, and Captain Gray said that thero was t..u man who would win the first prize from Mr. Jerrold—that tall cavalry sergeant who fainted away—Sorgeant McLeod. Don't you leineinber, mother? Well, he did not, oven got, a place, and Mr. Jerrold beat him easilv.

Something in her mother's eyr warned her to be guarded, and in that indefinable but unerring system of feminine telegraphy eallod her attention to tho man sitting by the door. Lwking quickly to her right, Miss Renwiek saw that he was intently regarding her. At tho mention of Fort Sibley tho stronger had lowered his paper, revealing a bronzed face clean shaven except for the thick blond mustache and a pair of dear, steady, searching blue eyes under heavy brows and lashes, and these eyes were very deliberately respectfully fixed

upon nor own, nor wero tney wunarawn iu pviper confusion when detected. It was Miss Renwiek whose eyes gave up the contest and returned iu some sense ,of defeat to her mother's face. "What letters have you for tho colonel?" asked Mrs. Maynard, coming au secours, "Throe—two of them from his devoted henchman, Captain Chester, who "'rites by every mail, I should imagine, and these he will go off into somo socluded uookwith and come back looking blue and worried. Then here's another, forwarded from Sibley too. I do not know this hand. Perhaps it is from Captain Armitago, who, they say, is to come back next month. Poor Mr. Jerrold!" "Why poor Mr. Jerrold?" asked Aunt Grace, with laughing interest, as she noted the expression on her niece's pretty face. "Because ho can't bear Captain Arrult.age, and" "Now, Alice," said her mother reprovingly, "you must not take his view

"Sow, Alice," saki tiermolher, "youmust not titkc hix view of the aiptuin." of the captain at all. Remember what the colonel said of him" "Mother," protested Alice, laughing, "I have no doubt Captain Armitago is tho paragon of a soldier, but he is unquestionably a most unpleasant and ungeutlemanlv person in his conduct to the young officers. Mr. Hall has told me the same thing. I declare, I don't see how they can speak to him at all, he has been so harsh and discourteous and unjust." The color was rising in earnest now, but a warning glance in her mother's eye seemed to check further words. There was an instant's silence. Then Aunt Grace remarked: "Alice, your next door neighbor has vanished. It think vour vehemence has frightened him."

Surely enough, the big, blue eyed man in tweeds had disappeared. During

this brief controversy lie had quickly and noiselessly let, himself out of the open door, swung lightly to the ground and was out of sight among the trees. "Why, what a strange proceeding!" said Aunt Grace again. "We are fully a mile and a half from the hotel, and he means to walk it in this glaring sun.

Evidently he did. Tho driver reined up at the moment in response to a suggestion from sortie one in a forward seat, and there suddenly appeared by the wayside, striding out from the shelter of tho Funnies, the athletic figure of the Stranger. "Go ahead!" lie called iu a deep chest voice that had an unmistakable ring to it—the tone that one so readily recognizes in men accustomed to prompt action and command. "I'm going across lots. Aud swinging his heavy stick, with quick, elastic steps and erect carriage, the man in gray plunged into a wood path and was gone. "Alice," said Aunt Grace again, "that man is an officer, I'm sure, and you have driven him into exile and lonely wandering. I've seen so much of them wheu visiting my brother in the old days before my marriage that even in civilian dress it is easy to tell 6omo of them. Just look at that baok and those shoulders! He has been a soldier all his life. Horrors! Suppose it should be Captain Armitage himself!"

MIRS Renwiek looked genuinely distressed as well as vexed. Certainly no officer but Captain Armitage would have had reason to leave the stage. Certainly officers and their families occasionally visited Sablon in the summer time, but Captain Armitage could hardly bo here. Thero was comforting assurance in the very note sho held iu her hand. "It cannot be," sho said, "because Mr. Jerrold writes that they have just heard from him at Sibley. Ho is still at the seashore and will not return for a month. Mr. Jerrold says ho implored Captain Chester to let him have three days' leave to come down hore and have a 6ail and a picnic with us and was told that it would bo out of the question." "Did ho tell you any other news?" asked Mrs. Maynard, looking up from her letter again, "anything about the german?" "He says he thinks it a shame we are to bo uway and—well, read it yourself." And she placed it in her mother's hands, the dark eyes seriously, anxiously studying her face as sho read. Presently Mrs. Maynard laid it down and looked into her own then, pointing to a certain passage with her finger, handed it to her daughter. "Men wero deceivers ever," she said, laughing, yet oracularly significant

And Alice Renwiek could not quite control the start with which she read: "Mr. Jerrold is to lead with his old love, Nina Beaubien. They mako a capital pair, and sho of course will be radiant—with Alice out of tho way. 'That is something Mr. Jerrold failed to mention, is it not?"

Miss Renwick's cheeks wero flushed, and the dark eyes were filled with sudden pain as she answered: "I did not know she was there. She was to have gone to the lakes the same day we left" "She did go, Alice, said her mother, "but it was only for a brief visit, it seems."

Tho colonel was not at their cottago when the omnibus reached tho laka Over at the hotel wore tho usual number of loungers gathered to seo tho now arrivals, and Alice presently caught sight of the colonel coming through the park. If anything, ho looked more listless and dispirited than he had before they left She ran down tho steps to meet him, smiling brightly up into his worn and haggard face. "Are you feeling a little brighter, papa? Hero are letters for you." He took them wearily, barely glancing at the superscriptions. "Iliad hoped for something moro," he said and passed on into tho little frame house which was his sister's sum mor home. "Is your mother hero?" ho asked, looking back as ho entered tho door. "In tho north room, with Aunt Grace, papa," she answered, and then once more and with gravor face she began to read Mr. Jerrold's letter. It was a careful study she was making of it this time, and not altogether a pleasant one. Aunt Grace came out and mado some laughing remark at. sooing her still so occupied. Sho looked up, pluckily smiling despite a senso of wounded priile, and answered: "I am only convincing myself that it, was purely on general principles that Mr. Jerrold seemed so anxious I should be thero. Ho never wauted me to lead with him at all." All the same it stung, and Aunt Grace saw and knew it and longed to take her to lior heart and comfort her, but it was better so. She was finding him out unaided.

She was st^l studying oyer portions

ot mat ingenious tetter wnen tne rustle of her aunt's gown indicated that she was rising. She saw her move toward the steps, heard a quiok, firm tread upon the narrow planking and glanced up iu.,surpr!sa There, uncovering his elosajoropped* head, stood the tall stranger, looking placidly up as he addressed Aunt Grace: "Pardon me, can I see Colonel Maynard?" "He is at home. Pray come up and take a chair. I will let him know. I—I felfc sure you must be some friend of his when I saw you in the stage," said the good lady, with manifest and apologetio uneasiness.

Yus,'' responded the strangor as he quickly ascended the steps and bowed before hor, smiling quietly tho whila "Let me iutroduoe myself. I am Captaiu Armitago of the colonel's regiment "There! I knew it!" was Aunt Grace's response as, with both hands uplifted in tragio despair, sho gave one horror stricken glance at Alioe and rushed into tho house.

There was a moment's sllenca Then, with burning cheeks, but with grave eyes that looked frankly iuto his, Alice Renwiek aroso, came straight up to liirn and held out her hand. "Captaiu Armitage, I beg your pardon.

He took tho extended hand and gazod earnestly into her face, while a kind— almost merry—smile lighted up his own. 'Havo the boys given me such an nncauuy reputation as all that?" ho asked, and then, as though tickled with the comicality of the situation, ho began to laugh. "What ogres some of us old soldiers do become in the course of years! Do you know, young lady, I might never have suspected what a brute I was if it had not been for you? What a blessed thing it was the colonel did not tell you I was coming 1 You would never have given me this true insight into my character."

But sho saw nothing to laugh at and would not laugh. Her lovely face was still burning with blushes and dismay and full of trouble, "I do not look upon it lightly at all," sho said. "It was unpardonable iu mo to—to" "To tako so effective and convincing a method of telling a man of his grievous sius! Not a bit of it I liko a girl who has the courage to stand up for her friends. I shall congratulate Jorrold aud Hall both when I get back, lucky fellows that they are!" And ovidently Captaiu Armitage was deriving altogether too much jolly entertainment from her awkwardness. She rallied aud strove to put an end to it "Indeed, Captain Armitage, I do think tho young officers sorely noed friends and advocates at times. I never would have knowingly spoken to you of your personal responsibilities in tho woes of Mr. Jerrold and Mr. Hall, but since I have done so unwittingly I may as well define my position, especially as you are so good naturcd with it all." And here, it must be admitted, Miss Renwick's beautiful eyes were shyly lifted to his in a most telling way. Once there, they looked squarely into tho clear blue depths of his and never flinched. "It seemed to mo several times at Sibley that the vouug officors deserved more consideration aud courtasy than their captains accorded them. It was not von alone that I heard of." "I am profoundly gratified to learu that somebody else is a brute," he answered, trying to look grave, but with that irrepressible merriment twitching at the corners of his mouth and giving sudden gleams of his firm white teeth through the thick mustache. "You are come to lis just iu time, Miss Renwiek, and if you will let me come and tell you all my sorrows the next time the colonel pitches into me for something wrong in company I'll give you full permission to overhaul me for everything or anything I say and do to the youngsters. Is it a bargain?" And he held out his big, firm hand. "I think you are—very different from what I heard," was all her answer as she looked up in his eyes, twinkling as they wero with fuu. "Oh, we are to shake hands on it as a bargain? Is that it? Very well, then.1'

A few more weeks and the Spring and Summer business ol '94 will be history—its most important event—our Groat Clearing Sale. We won't speak of the weather, but of the highest grade Dry Goods, in many instances less than cost.

Successful Storekeeping

Does not mean gigantic profit—it means doing business—continually—constantly—selling

seasonable goods—even at a loss—before holding them over for many months. We

are successful storekeepers and will sell thousands of dollars worth of sea

sonable stuff at even less than cost, while you most want them.

This is the argument for the great
