The Instruments glittered in the bright Morning sunlight and ;every man In line unconsciously moved tin unlsei with the martial music , The iris over on the porch and sev- ,erai ydung oncers who had joined them swayed In time to the infectious stralis and each feminine heart wished secretly that one-day she might marry a soldier. When the band had marched past the commanding officers quarters it wok up its regular position a snort distance from the guard and began Its jnorning program. , . "I always love to nave Mr. Bates on duty," Helen Farnham said. "He takes euch a long time to mount the guard and the band has loads of time to 1 play." "Just think, he's going to the Philip pines," Katherine Markham, a pretty little blond protested. ,"W were Just getting him so well trained, too. Well, somebody else will have to eon sent to. mount slowly or well sever have more than two pieces In the morn "Say, Margery," Helen added, "What do you think of the orders?" Margery Keene looked up from her embroidery rather nonchalantly. Bhe hadn't been watching and hadn't really strictest attention to Mr. Somers who was telling her a story la which she wasn't the least felt Interested. Margery played her little game well nut wnen Bates left wirn the other of fleers without as much as eoming to ner to do ma ane was sorry he bad been ordered off, Margery was not only annoyed but angry, with, herself for oaring. . : ; . Nobody la the merry little group knew that two nights before Bates had again been refused by Margery. No body knew so well as Margery herself that he had made up his mind never to ask her again. But that was all before his orders came before, the nrosDect of the great Pacific stretching Itself be tween him and her had presented it self. However, bis manner showed no change from the other night when he seemed to think that one "No" was sufficient, tossed bis head la the air, gave her a curt "Good night" and left "Plant every girl want .to be told over and over again that she was the most adorable creature In the world?" Margery whispered to herself. She had now made up her mind that she would stick to her "No" "if it killed her." Furthermore, when he came to say goodbye she would show him that he was not the only soldier la the world.- - -. - Lieutenant Bates was one of the "oungest and most Dopular officers In the army.

"There's one good thing about it," said Margery. "It will only take one officer away from the post and that ought to be some consolation." . "Anybody would think you didn't care at au, ventured jLainenne, na all the time you know you're Just dying to go." . "Now, Katherine, you're getting fool ish," Margery answered good natured ly. "You know I like Mr. Bates awfully well but Just because I've danced with him a few times that's no sign that I shall pine away when he's gone.". "Oh no!" Katherine grimaced, and vea Margery Joined in the laugh. . . Lieutenant Bates was only half way down the line and the men were con scious of the closest scrutiny of their guns. ' Each was examined with the utmost care but only the young of- floers and his friends over on the porch tlon to go in. alluring and his heart beat faster every time the thought came to him that probably here at last was an op portunity tor him to distinguish him self at the front Only one thing marred his enthusiasm and that was Margery. "Ifs," "buts" and girls!. How tney nave made history! So all of that last day passed. In the evening some of the young people came over to Major Keene's but Bates failed to appear. "Busy packing.1 said Somen when somebody asked for him. "Well. It seems to me If I were in his place and were the only officer or dered off I'd come around and get my self lionised," and Katherine M"""" looked very much disgusted. Margery banged the piano until ner fingers nearly dropped off. Three times Bates fairly ran past the Major's that he might not yield to the temjjta- kaew that he was killing time la order that the band could play the longer. . When the little ceremony was over the men were dismissed and to the rollicking strains of a Sousa march the musicians filed to their quarters. Bates crossed the parade and Joined the group at the Colonel's. "To think you are going way out to the Philippines, Mr. Batee," said Kath erine. "We only heard It this morning and just Imagine, you have to go to morrow." . . "You see, Miss Katherine, what It means to be a soldier. I've never been But the hours won away and when the new day dawned Margery awaken ed a very unhappy but determined young person. When Lieutenant Bates began his round of farewell calls Margery saw him from- her window overlooking the parade ground.

"Nothing to keep yen here," Helen Farnham exclaimed. "Well of all things! And this old army post flood ed with girls. Mr. Bates you're dl m!sd." s ; "Now really, Miss Farnham, I thought I was lucky when I got my orders," laughed Bates, "but if I thought there were the slightest chance for me here I might be disloyal to my colors and condemn orders to the bow bows. The trouble here is that there are too many ef us and not enough of you." ' V . . "O, you fake," laughed Helen. Caring guard mount Vargery Keene had sat cotnpoflBdly In a rocking chair embrolderln-j. When nobody was loo to in? she would steal a look at Bates but unfortunately for that younir man's ytoce of mind be was too far oil to s Now that be bad Joined ta your; last opportunity. So -er to the Col onel's Margery trooped an hour later all the time trying bard to make her self .believe that she dtdnt care any more for Mr. Bates than for the army buckle on her belt . The train was made up and the en gineer waited the sirnal to start From every window a soldier head protruded for the men had been ordered aboard Immediately upon their arrival at the yards. ' Mother, wife, sister and sweetheart, multiplied Into a throng, swarmed up and dowa the platform enca m search of a particular head. The post band tar ", 3 away at popular tones as a fare well to the boys m bright. Jolly, and happy a lot as ever donted the khaki The men who lad received orders for the Philippines were lording it over tneir companions Who by ruling of the Department were compelled to wait for later orders. Every time a stay-at-home hova la sight he was made the target Lior a volley of chaff about his status as a son ot Mars. "HI there. Billy."' called out tousled headed soldier from one of the windows to another strolling by. "They'll never send you to the Islands. The Tinos would ketch, you. fust thing." . , v - ' "TheyTl never ketch rou If you kin run fast enough." said Billy. "Three cheers for Loot'nant Bates," somebody nowied as the tall young of ficer hurried past A flush rose to the roots of his hair when he touched his campaign hat In acknowledgment of the three lusty cheers . that rang through the yard. Bates was popular with his men and his detail had much to do with their good nature In leaving for the Philippines. Everything was In confusion. Shouts of "Goodbye" mingled with the laugh ter and tears from many hearts. Of ficers hurried here and there getting things In readiness to start and when the young people from the post el bowed their way through the crowd Bates was nowhere to be found. Ho failed to materialize as starting time drew near and It was decided to Institute a search for him. Margery was not the only post girl who had been casting sheep's eyes at the young officer and while she absolutely refused to move, saying she would wait for them to return, she could not view the other girls' solicitude mh composure. rou people go ahead," said Mar gery, "and I'll stay here. I'm absolute ly so tired I ,can't go another step." "O. don-t bo unsociable, Margery. come on,'1 they urged, but Margery was obdurate. - "111 go over there with Mrs. Brooks and Captain Stiles," she said, "and then you can fled me when you come back." "All right," tney said and on they went.. eJsa'-4BV- ' Instead of seeking Mrs. Brooks and Captain Stiles Margery stayed Just where they had left her and there she was when Sates dodging here and there through the crowd almost knock ed her down. "I beg your pardon, Miss Margery he gasped. , Yes," she said, looking about her in evident contusion. - "Pardon my awkwardness, but where are the folks? I've been looking all over for them." They're looking for you. too," said Margery. "I was Just going." , "Going? Where?" r "Home." -' W -Surely," said Bates, "yon were going to wait and see the fellows off.' Well. I've said goodbye to all of them but you so now I guess 111 go," and a little hand fluttered out to him. He took It and as he raised his big campaign hat with the other, Bates was at a loss lust what to say. "Is that all?" he pleaded. "What have I done that yon are not going to wish me a safe return?" "I do, though," Margery said. "Well, that helps." Bates said lame ly, "because wnen a leiiow is thou sands of miles away from from everybody it's good to know that er everybody will be glad to see him back." I'm afraid I hurt you the other night" Margery blurted out, forget ting all her resolutions of Indifference. But I dldnt mesa to," she added hastily. I'm sure of that." the young of ficer said. He was so near and his very near ness made her deliriously happy. Bates saw the others returning from their search for him and his last chance slipping away. . His determina tion to never again speak to Margery or love took flight and he began another hasty plea. When she showed no sign of even interrupting him he told it all over again and begged that she would not send him away without at least one word of encouragement "I've been fighting so hard to make myself believe I didn't care but It wont do, Margery. It's so hard to go away from you, dear, and but here I am saying the Whole blooming thing over again." . "Well, don't you mean It?" Margery pouted. "Mean it? Mean It little girl? I mean It so much that I" "You awful man," chimed in one of the girls as the poet crowd came up, "the train's about to go and we haven't a minute to talk to yon." v I'm mighty sorry, said Batee, "bat I've been busy. How busy?" asked one of the party and everybody looked at Margery. "You'd better get aboard, Bates," said young Somen, one of the officers left behind. "She's about to go. Take care of yourself, old man. and don't get the fever." Lieutenant Bates had eyes only for one. Heedless of everybody and every thing he took Margery la bis arms and she clung to him for one brief, happy moment, amia we caeers xrom ann dreds of throats Bates leaped oa the rear platform of the last car as the train moved swiftly out of the yards.
