Oahrlel MarHli was dominated by a
sisterly brood, realized li and did not
particularly resent It. Hero whs the
situation : They were well provided
for as to Income from the family es
tate, hut Gabriel litid inherited the
hulk of the same. It cost the others
nothing to continue to live at the
homestead, and a noble place It was.
tinbrlel was liberal to the point of
prodigality, outside of thrilling Inhar
monious elements of temperament
these persons were not unpleasant,
and life drifted on Idly, evenly, though
rut her purposelessly.
It was to their Interest that (Jnbrlel
should remain a bachelor, and they
kept a close watch on him and a near
contact when social functions were on
the program. He slipped them casual
ly, (trie duy. He was homeward bound
from his office when n friend he liked
shipped hi in on the shoulder and then
linked arms with htm. "You're coming
over tn the Gordons with me," he In
sisted. "They're short of men und I
promised to rally some recruits."
Gabriel was nothing loath and soon
found himself enjoying the variety and
liveliness of a cheery group, bent on
enjoying the occasion to Its utmost.
Miss Ada Gordon was engaged, so lie
was not troubled as to what his sis
ters might say or think. There was
tennis nnd archery. It was the latter
feature that Interested Gabriel. The
more so because of the superb expert
liens of a girl whom he had never seen
before, and who seemed to come Into
his life with Irresistible power and In
fluence all Id a moment of time.
She was Vera Oliver, Gabriel
learned, a cousin of Ada Gordon, lived
some twenty-five miles distant and wait
making a day's visit with her father,
a studious-looking man with a finely
Intellectual face, who sat apart but
placidly and with seeming Interest
and pleasure witnessing the activities
of the young people. Gabriel was not
In tennis trim and Joined Mr. Oliver
on a shaded bench, Miss Gordon hav
ing Introduced them. At first Gabriel
said llttto. His eyes were fixed upon
Mlsa Oliver. Truly a nut-brown maid,
lithe, graceful, swift and fiure In all
her motions, her exquisite handling of
bow and arrow was superb. Straight
to the heart of the target the plumed
dart landed every time, other contest
ants despairing of even remotely ap
proximating her average.
The openly expressed approbation
of Gubrlcl won the father to descunt
upon the capabilities of his daughter.
"You know I make my living by writ
ing up my scientific and nature re
searches," he said, "und Vera has been
an ardent und useful helper. Are you
Interested In zoology to any degree?
I Invite ym to run over to our little
rookery and I will show you some rare
specimens. My daughter, tot), will out
do for you this bow and arrow prac
tice. We have a shooting range at
home, eltty pigeons and spring, und all
that. Only, come within a day or two,
fur We start for northern Minnesota j
within a week."
It was when Gabriel saw Vera with i
rifle at glass-ball shooting that the
unique charm of this modern Dlnna
completely won the Isi-urt of the hith
erto love-shunned Gabriel, His sisters
heard of the visit to the Oliver home.
There were quibbles us to "the unglrl- j
lsh training and sportswoman pro-;
pensltlea of the audacious minx,"
doubtless maneuvering to enmesh their 1
brother as a desirable parti. Their
fears were set at lest, however, a day
or two later wheo they learned that
the Olivers had departed on one of
their long nature tours.
The watchful guardians of a world
tnexperleiieed brother traced no pur
pose In the apparently Innocent an
nouncement of Gabriel one day, when
he announced that he was going on a
hunting trip In the Northern woods.
"Nobody but squaws way up there
In the pineries," he observed to his
eldest sister, "so you needn't he wor
rying for fear some designing fortune
seeking slreu will be plotting to marry
me for my money. I'm strictly going
hunting for a deer."
When that momentous hunting trip
was over, the sisterly rabid marveled
at the duplicity of their beloved broth
er. They could not credit the coolness
and Independence with which Gabriel
had become Imbued, They could not
understand the determined manner In
which he slipped from leading strings
they had thought surely taut drawn
and strong as wire cables.
The result of specious design or ac
cident, this happened to Gabriel
Marsh. He came across the Olivers In
a little log cabin In tho woods 50 miles
from clvilliattou. He had sustained
a severe arm sprain from a fall over
an old log. Patient as well aa guest, a
welcome receptloa made htm happy,
and then a month assisting Mr. Oliver
In his quest fur odd speclmeus and
fishing and canoeing with Vera, gave a
new and' delightful tinge to life. At
th end of two months he wrot to hi
friend at home :
"Please break the Dews to my sit

Come on, all you Ked Woods,
From Oregon to Maine;
Come on, here's your slogan
Alsuee and Lorraine.
Come on NOW, fall in
With Pershing and Petain;
Conio now, and help us
While we have them by the throat.
They culled us "kids in khaki,''
lint we'll get tho Kaiser's goat.
Come on, hrave old Dixie,
With your famous Southern yell,
We need no other bracer
To give those Hermans II HI X.
We're not a hind divided
The North anil South are one,
And, shiiulder to shoulder.
Will march to meet the Hun.
Come on. brave old Dixie,
And your colored troopers, too,
We'll show those brutal Hoches
What our I'. S. A. can do.
You have oodles of transports,
Manned hy gallant boys in blue;
You've a right smal l nf cruisers
And sub-chasers, too;
Come on, load up your transports
And convoy the boys across;
We'll put a nuietus
On this war-mad Prussian boss.
Speed up, get tegether
With one good Yankeo slap,
We can put little P.elgium
Hight back on the map.
All praise to staunch old England,
Her Tommies und her Tars.
All honor to her leaders,
Those true sons of Mars.
Kut speed up, boys, be with us,
See Von Hinden's dead line snap;
And Sammies by the millions
(to pouring through the gap.
No "Kamerad" will slop us,
It's cither die or run
It's an everlasting tinish
To the double dealing Hun.
Vt'e're over here for business,
And we won't como home ugain
Till we leave tho French Hag Hying
Over Alsace and Lorraine,
They've called us "tin soldiers,"
They've culled us "cackling geese,"
Kut when this war is ended
There will be an Allied Peace.

owing to the laie failure of the 1017
