tion he was a hero, perhaps all the
mora so on account of his long sb-

and he had had a romance, which
keenly interested tho young people
especially.
He had never visited our little town
since he had left it that memorable
day after his unfortunate marriage.
Rumors of this and that had rcaohed
the ears of tho good folk of Akensido,
but it was from tn intimate friend of
Barbara Lippincott that I heard the
atory.
The oommandor King West was

Ned Lippincott, and then was sud

father's gained him the appointment;
ha pasted the requisite examination,
and entered the Haval Academy. He
had graduated, and was about to enter
upon his new duties, when his health

a college friend of King's, whose
friendship was of that ardor almost
loverlike in its intensity. He had
heard lately of his f riends's condition.
and had come to urge upon him an
Arabian remedy which had been given
him by an uncle whose life had been
passed in the Orient. A native, whose
life he had saved, had presented it to
him.
With no faith, but partly to please
his friend, partly because a dying man
catches at any Btraw which will pre
serve life, King followed the prescrip
tion and treatment, and, to everyone's
amazement, he improved, and, after
many weeks, was restored to his old
vigor. Of course, few gave credit to
this remedy: few knew of it: bnt
whatever it was, the young man xe
covered.
And then to Barbara came the shock

old friend meant bondaae to her. W
