The girl who opeucd the dour, stood

"I was directed here," ho snld, "by

Tho Ctrl hesitated, then for answer,
turned liupilrlngly to n bulky red-fared
man seated behind her In the sunny
kitchen dining room.
Sullenly he arose and came toward
tl i. "Tonight," ho Hitld brusquely,
"our house will bo full,"
"That is too b:id," (ho officer pleas
antly responded, 'wu nro on our way

"None," the man answered gruftly.
Hut with u Ninbbu smile the fair

"Soldiers!" exclaimed tho man In a
hitter tone,
"SiiMlers of my country!" she re
pented emphatically. And after the
wholesome country supper, the young
officer came to the girl out tn the fra
grant garden. "I cannot tell, how
much wo appreciate your kindness,"
he said. "All my people are gone.
There is not one to bid mo farewell or

cullur fancy that brought me here, be

The young officer studied the girl
curiously. "It Is strange," he mused,
"thnt you"
"I lira an American," she Interrupted
fiercely. "If 1 could, I would do for my
country, what my brothers are doing
for theirs. Hut a girl," her hands fell'
helplessly, "can do nothing."
"Nothing I" the soldier was upon his

"Cood night," sho whispered, end

Her eyes wore averted, as she served
the guests In the morning their brenk
fusts, and the bulky figure of her fnth

Now the day was nearly dene, Af

took her favorite path down to the
ilge of the lake whore a canoe was

He was Mtllng In a rather dejected at

Irawn up. bis arms embracing them,

Kvldently be had nut heard her com

arved out of one of the giant bowlders
of the mountain. There whs something
ddly familiar about him.
She hesitated, not knowing whether
to go forward or back.
Hut the tiling was decided for hef,
for the man lifted his head and looked
at her.
"Tlen.se don't go uway," he said.
"I wasn't sure It w as you, John," she
replied as evenly ns she could, coming
the rest of the way down to the bench.
He rose and hold out his hand. She
put her own In It ami he shook It
gravely, looking deep Into her eyes
with the old senreblug smile that al
ways made her feel so uncomfortable,
'specially when there was somethlug

"No. I've come as I promised. I tried
